  Speaker 2: here in just a matter of moments. Hope you guys

  Speaker 2: had a great weekend. All of you mothers out there.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: We love all of you mothers here on the Todd
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Sterns Radio Show, including all of you grandmothers. You know, Dylan,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I was reading something over the week and I had
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: no idea this was some sort of an issue in
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the culture at large. But apparently there is a dust
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: up over whether grandmothers ought to be included in Mother's
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Day celebrations. And it just seems to me, for the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: sake of peace and harmony for the entire galaxy, including
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: all of those illegal alien and by illegal alien I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: mean from another planet people, that you would want to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: include grandmothers, no matter what even in Father's Day, I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: include Grandma every.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Holiday, every holiday. Yes, she's invited, she's also getting a gift.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, because she's Grandma.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: She's Grandma.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Why not? I just it was bewildering. But apparently one
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: of the stories I saw was that that there's some
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of these these would be millennial mothers, and the millennial
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: mothers are not just millennial mothers, but they're mothers, if
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I mean they are, They're
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: all they're built differently, and they're thinking, is this is
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: my holiday? Therefore Grandma's you're done, you just step aside.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: So I'm not even getting into that argument. I'm always
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: gonna side with Grandma, don't. I don't care. I don't
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: care what the fight is.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, Grandma has always been there. You know
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the treats when you come over to the grandma and
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Grandpa's house, you know everything.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Everything, I mean, why not? I mean, the woman can
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: make you hot, hot cookies out of the oven, exactly.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I love you, Grandma, So let me ask you. So
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the weekend, I mean, I didn't even try to go
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: out for dinner on Sunday. I just stayed at home
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: because again, of course my mom's in heaven. So because
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: the restaurant are just filled overflowing. Did you notice that?
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Saturday we celebrated with my parents and then
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Sunday we went to my wife's. We went to a
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: house though we didn't go out to eat, so we
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: did save the trouble there. But Saturday was pretty crazy. Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: so I saw that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah exactly, and I forgot. Of course, you've
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: got double duty now that you're married, so you got
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to make sure, you know, got to work all that out.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So it's a lot to work out, but it's good.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: It's overall positive.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Do the moms involved? Are they good to work with?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Here on the area?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I was blessed with good mothers.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Good, that's a good answer. Yes, So you don't want
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to have a bad mother? No, All right, all you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: bad mothers out there, we'll talk about you later. Why
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I'm leading up to this story that someone sent me
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from a little rock, Arkansas, and there is a high
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: end steakhouse there called Arthur's Prime Steakhouse, and I think
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: it's been around forever. You know, it's one of those
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: established and it is really high end. I think in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the Memphis area. It would be like folks Folly or
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: sort of on par with Ruth's Chris, which back in
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the day was known as sort of like the big Steakhouse.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So anyway, there was an incident. And I'm only bringing
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: this up because it's going viral today on social media,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: but I've noticed a trend, and Dylan, I'm curious if
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you've noticed this as well, where the behavior and a
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: lot of these restaurants it's almost like a Popeye s
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: fried chicken and biscuits, you know what I mean. I'm
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: there's fighting, there's cursing, there's yelling and screaming and all
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: sorts of things. And that's what happened inside Arthur's Steakhouse.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And we've got some audio, and I know you had
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to clean up the language, but there was a large
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: party of black people and they showed up at this
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: fine dining institution in North Little Rock, Arkansas, which is
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: sort of the higher end part of the town, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: all you know what broke loose. I want you to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: take a.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Listen here here ten millions, ten millions, her child's ten
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: million for child followers, you've follow wrong family up here,
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: do up here.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: So they're racist. So that's this is insane. So now
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: even some liberal restaurant critics are stepping in and they're
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: saying this is over the top. That the restaurant has
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: been around for generations, no one's ever accused them of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: being racist at all, and a lot of folks in
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the restaurant are saying that this family actually started the
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: big dust up. But again, this is something that we're
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: seeing happening on a regular basis across America. I mentioned
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Ruth's Chris, and it's been especially prevalent in the Ruth's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Chris restaurants where people show up, they're wearing a track
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: suits or whatever, and they're being told, we have a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: dress code. You cannot come into our establishment dressed like this,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and all you know what breaks loose, and the next
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: thing you know, they're posting the videos and they're screaming
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and cursing. I just want to know something, What kind
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of an upbringing did these people have that would give
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: them any sort of idea that this sort of behavior
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and any sort of establishment. I don't care if it's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Ruth's Chris or Popeye's Fried Chicken and Biscuits. What sort
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of an upbringing did they have that made them say,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: that's how you resolve your differences, That's how you resolve
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: your conflict. So they would have you believe that the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: elderly owner of this steakhouse literally grabbed the steak off
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the plate and shoved it into the face of the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: customer here. And may I just say, tellan based on
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: what I saw the video? Did you see the video?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That was insane?
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't believe her. Yeah. And by the way,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: thirty million social media followers, that's a lot of following.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of the lady, I mean neither never
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: heard of her before. But again, this is there is
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: something going on in the culture over the weekend. Let
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: me just broaden this end a little bit. Over the
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: weekend in Tampa, Florida, I think twenty twenty two uts
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: young scholars, all black people, were arrested for clashing with
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: police so brazenly that they literally, these teens literally rammed
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a police cruiser. Who who does that? Who? Who raised
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: these kids to think that that sort of behavior is okay?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Over the weekend and a place called Brownsville, Tennessee, our
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: good friend Ben Dieter posted this on social media and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it's going viral. A young teenage girl, a black girl
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: by the way, and they were taking prom pictures. It
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be a memorable night of the park.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Some somebody opens fire, people get shot, young girl gets killed.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Ben Dieter posted a photograph of the girl, and he
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: raises an interesting point, why why aren't any of the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: black leaders out there condemning this sort of behavior. I mean,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: we certainly know they're out there. They're complaining about redistricting
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and all of these things, but when it comes to
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: this sort of behavior, they just turn a blind eye.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And I think one of the reasons why is that
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: that black lives really do not matter with black Democrat leaders.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I think it really is that simple. We have a
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: big problem in this country. Over the week just over
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the weekend, you folks listening to us right now, WSJS
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and the Winston Salem area, Greensboro high Point, there were
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: teen takeovers in your community that turned violent. They were
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: literally trying to beat up cops. One cop through a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: child to the ground, and they're really not sure they're
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: little thugglings through one of them to the ground. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: now the NAACP and all those folks are now calling
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: for people to be for the cop to be arrested.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: They're always making the cops out to be the bad guys.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Now we're also getting word from places like Chicago, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: there was another incident in Raleigh, North Carolina, Charlotte, Nashville, Memphis,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and we're starting to hear a common theme now coming
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: out of these community leaders saying, well, this is just
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the culture. The kids don't have anything else to do,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: so they go into the streets and they riot, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: they pillage and they plunder. Now, you guys know me
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: on this program, we're one of the most we have
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: one of the most diverse listing audiences. We got folks
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of all different persuasions, gay, straight, black, white, Republican Democrat.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: We have all sorts of folks that listen to this program.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And if there were on a nightly basis, or let's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: just take weekends, if every weekend you had mobs of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: white teenagers going out and causing mayhem, you better believe
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I would be behind this microphone calling out the white
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: parents of America, but black parents of America. What the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: heck is going on here? This cannot be the new
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: norm in America. Houston, Texas. Some of the video coming
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: out over the weekend from Houston. Of all places, these
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: males and many six flags, you know, the amusement parks.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it goes on and on and on, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the common denominator is massive groups of young black people
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: that are causing mayhem and terrorizing people. How do we
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: fix this problem? How do we get to the root
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: of the problem. My suggestion, I'm just gonna pause. A
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: theory is that many of these kids are coming from
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: single family homes, and in that case, nobody's actually raising
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: the child, and therefore they're put out onto the street.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: They tell the shopping malls you have to baby sit
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: my kid, and that's them. And I wonder if it
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: really is maybe that simple. But when you look and
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I find always find this interesting because a lot of
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the restaurant owners, and I don't mean to paint with
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a broad brush here, but a lot of these restaurant
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: owners are as liberal as the day is long, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they simply refuse, refuse to say exactly why they're shutting
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: down their restaurants. They will make every excuse under the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: sun to explain this away, but they won't get to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the root of the problem, which is in most of
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: these cities you have large mobs of black kids that
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: are going out there causing damage and destruction and mayhem.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: All right, we've got to take a break here. Nine
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. I don't know. Maybe what the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: country needs is like a coast to coast, border to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: border class with our friend miss Manners or will be
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: right back. But you know what, ladies and jelam, what
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: really what really bothers me is that the restaurant, Arthur's
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Steakhouse in North Little Rock, Arkansas, was filled to overflowing
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: with families having a lovely Mother's Day celebration. And the
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: reality is when you go to a steakhouse like this
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and Dylan you know this, you save up your pennies
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: and you want to treat the missus to a really nice,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: nice meal. You don't. This is not one of those
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: KFC or Popeye's Fried Chicken you know and biscuit moments.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: This is you really want to have a nice time.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they are like special occasions. You plan
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: dates and you dress up and you you know, you
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: want to eat good food and have good service.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That's really all you want you wear pants, wear pants,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: you don't wear crocs, No crocs, no hats, you bathe Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you know, you prepare yourself. You want to have an experience,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: and we are losing that in society right now. And
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I feel bad for all those people in that restaurant
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: because they wanted to have a memorable Mother's Day. Well
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: they sort of got a memorables Mother's Day, but not
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: for the reason why. I mean, nobody thought this was
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: This looked like all of the bad scenes of the
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Tyler Perry movies just put together in one. And maybe
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: that's the issue here is we've got to get back
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to we Look, there are some generations are just lost.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: But I sure would love to know in what world
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and when exactly did this shift happen? Was it back
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: in the eight nineteen eighties, the nineteen nineties? When did
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: this shift happen? When everybody can start acting the fool
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: in public, it's just unbelievable. Nine oh one two six
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's nine
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Meanwhile,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you've got a bunch of these white liberal guys and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they're wanting to target all of you conservatives out there.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So this is a fellap. He owns a YouTube channel
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: that specializes in US history, and here's what he has
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to say about all of you conservative folks out there.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: As soon as we landed, I would use the money
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: to bribe the Bosin to look the other way while
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: I stole all of the muskets and powder on board.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: And then depending on when in the century I was landing,
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: I would march my ass immediately to the nearest indigenous settlements,
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: give the guns out like candy, and make it my
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: mission in life to murder every single white man, woman,
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: and ch chiled on the eastern seaboard of the continent.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not going to invite that guy over for supper
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: anytime soon, you jeez. These people have lost their ever
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: loving minds. Coming up in just a few moments, we're
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: going to be getting into the redistricting battles. And may
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I just say, and I told you to be patient,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: you know, do not. I don't ever want you to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: be anxious. I don't want you to have anxiety. But
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: things are going to work out. The Republicans as really
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: they've screwed up a lot that they really have. There's
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: no doubt about that, and I'm not going to rehash
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that today. However, the Democrats have screwed up even worse
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and as a result of that, they overstepped, They overstepped
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the mark with the redistricting, and I knew this was
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: going to happen. The great news is the Virginia Supreme
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Court came out and said, hey, look, this is unconstitutional
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: what you did. So they threw out, they overturned the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: re districting and the jerry bantering. So as it now stands,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: with the not only that decision, but then you have
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: the US Supreme Court stepping in and making the announcement
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: about these racially racially created jerrymandered districts in the Southern States.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: The Republicans, if they don't do anything else, they stand
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: poised to win as many as fourteen additional districts. It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: it's a beautiful thing. And it's sort of like the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Roadrunner Wiley Coyote and the Democrats Wiley Coyote, High King Jeffries,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: and they thought they actually had the Republicans snookerd on
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: this redistricting, when in fact, at that very moment, a
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: giant acne anvil falls from the sky, and lands directly
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: on top of haking Jefferies. Now that Ladies and Gentlemen
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is in my estimation, justice, So we'll get into more
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: of that. We're gonna be talking to Wade Burlison, who
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: is a candidate running for Congress in Missouri, so we'll
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: have a great conversation with him. Also, I'm really excited
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: about this one, Dylan. We've got a guy who owns
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a winery the Vineyards, and he's a Republican. Wow, a
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: very conservative Republican. And he has created a brand of
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Republican wine.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, there you go. Probably tastes better.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I've only heard things. I've heard great things about him.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So he's going to be joining us a little bit
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: later in the program as well. It's going to be
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun and a great conversation. Our telephone
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: number we love for you to be a part of
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the conversation today. Give us a call nine oh one
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. As a matter
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: of fact, sometime today one of the conversations on air
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: may be so great that Dylan, it would I know.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling generous. This is the first full week back
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: in the show. Maybe we give away as signed copy
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: of the brand new book which will be coming out
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: next month, and maybe we uh, we can entice people
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the best calls might possibly get a copy of that book.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You never know. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. Wade Burlison running for Congress, a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Republican coming up next. All right, welcome back, everybody. Great
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to have you with us here on the Tom Stearns
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Radio Show, now broadcasting on more than one hundred and
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: thirty radio stations across the nation, including a good many
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: in the great state of Oklahoma, where Wade Burlison has
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: announced he is running for Congress, and he joins us
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: today on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Wow, Wade, good
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to have you with us. Do we call you pastor
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: or you know? How do we? How do we refer
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: to you?
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: You know, Todd, I've long respected you. Just Wade is
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: how I'm referred to. I run a private hedge fund,
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: so I'm not a I mean, I believe every Christian
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: is a shepherd or a pastor, but I'm not a
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: vocational pastor anymore. So just call me Wade.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: You see, I remember you back in your in your
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: preacher days, and you just did a terrific job. And
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: it's an honor to have you with us. And I'm
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: always excited when I hear that people of faith, of
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: good character especially are are running for office. Why in
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the sweet name of the Almighty do you want to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: run for Congress?
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: By the way, you and Dylan are doing an amazing job.
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: Let me say this, I'm running for Congress two hundred
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: and fiftieth anniversary of America for my kids and grandkids.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: I have vowed not to take a salary. I'm not
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: running a campaign raising money. I'm not taking a dollar.
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: I've got pretty good name recognition in western Oklahoma. I'll
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: not take any benefits in Congress. And I've sworn to
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: serve only six years and then I'll step out. So Todd,
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: here's why I'm running for my grandkids and great grandkids,
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: for the future of America, and for the principles of
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: conservative constitutionalism.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: When you look at what's happening in Congress, what's happening
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: in the nation right now. And I know in Oklahoma,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: you guys are very unique. You are literally the reddest
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: state in all of the country. I think every single
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: County in Oklahoma over the past several election cycles has
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: gone completely Republican. From your vantage point in Oklahoma, what
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: do you see that troubles you in the nation.
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: Well, you're very astute about Oklahoma. Here's what troubles me.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: I have a degree finance, and because I run a
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: private hedge fund, I understand the financial dilemma that we
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: are in. And you know, Todd, I'm not going to
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: get into the weeds. But our US Treasury bonds, both
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: our two year, ten year, thirty year there is a problem.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: You know, back in the in the days, my great
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: uncle died in an explosion in Texas, the largest school
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: explosion natural gash in the history of Oklahoma, or excuse
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: me Texas. But before that explosion you could not smell
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: natural gas, and they after that injected a chemical like
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: sulfur where you could smell it. I think we're in
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: the same predicament today. There is a t bond explosion
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: about to happen because Congress has not done its duty
• 21:53
  Speaker 8: and balanced the budget and made sure that our expenditures
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: are less than revenue. We are one point six trillion
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: every year in deficits, thirty nine point four trillion in debt,
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: and I'm telling you nobody smells it. I do because
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: I'm an Austrian economist. We are facing a tea bond
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: crisis and it's going to implode the stock market, the economy,
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: and I believe Congress is the only entity that can
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: solve this problem.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Todd, I got a little uneasy a couple of weeks ago.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I was listening to one of the White House folks
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: talking about the idea and mentioned this in a positive way,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: that more people were buying things with their credit cards.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I think I'm not quite sure they're reading that correctly.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Why people are doing that? And the amount of credit
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: card debt in this nation is off the charts, and
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I think we're to your point. I'm glad to hear
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you talking about the economic storm that is upon us,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: because we really have to address it. I'm wondering though
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the Doge Committee, it seemed like Doge early on was
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: really addressing a lot of this squandering of taxpayer money.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Now I don't think anybody's really talking much about it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: Todd, you'r sharp. You and Dylan, you do the research.
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: Here's the deal. Elon Musk Roger Stone called me yesterday.
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: We talked for thirty minutes. He's good friends with Donald Trump.
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: We had a great conversation about the economy. Here's what's
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: fascinating to me. Doge and Trump and Musk all said,
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: let's take video cameras in and let's video. Let's video
• 23:38
  Speaker 8: the audit of Fort Kno's gold. And then everybody stopped
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: talking about it. Why. Well, in my opinion, the gold
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: has been gone. Nations have come in claimed their gold.
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: France first did it in nineteen seventy two. Everybody's taking
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: their gold out. The Fort Knock's vault is empty. But
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: I have to give credit to Trump for this. His
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: principles are my principles. He understands constitutional money, gold and silver.
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: So over the last several months, central banks, including the
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: Federal Reserve. In fact, Todd, I'll tell you something that
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: very few people know. Two ships have passed through the
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: Homuse State straight in the last forty eight hours. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 8: believe they were loaded with gold coming to the United States.
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: They are redepositing gold in the vault. And in my opinion,
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: and again this is conjecture, but I have a degree
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: in finance. On July the fourth, there will be a
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: Treasury statement revaluing gold from the thirty five dollars twenty
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: cents on the books to another figure. We'll wipe out
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: old debt. There is a reevaluation of the United States
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: dollars tied to gold and silver the way the Constitution
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: calls for, and I think Trump's going to make it happen.
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: So Todd, I guess what I would say to people
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: is this. And I listened to AOC. I listen to
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: people in Congress who are I listened to mayor in
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: New York. They are socialists, and they think that money
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: is currency. No constitutional money is gold and silver paper.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: Fiat currency is a credit on gold and silver. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: I believe Trump his administration will revalue gold and silver
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: and we will retie the US dollar to gold and silver.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: So Todd, to your point, inflation is call caused by
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: socialist expenditures, that government expenditures that exceed revenue. And I
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: think Trump is going to He's going to fix this.
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: And it's just not my opinion. It's Judy Shelton, his
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: nominee for the Federal Reserve, who wrote a book Good
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: as Gold. So I'm running for Congress to help my
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: great grandkids have a future. With real money and not
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: fiat socialist government currency.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Way, Burlison is joining us on our Patriot mobile news
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: maker line, Unbought, unbossed, unafraid. That's the message running for
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: congress in Oklahoma's third congressional district. And of course that
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: election coming up, what June sixteenth, so which is right
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: around the corner. You know, I've got to ask you. You
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: mentioned President Trump, and there's been all this hullabaloo, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: of course your background is in the ministry. There was
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: all this hullabaloo. They dedicated a I guess a gold
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: statue President Trump outside the golf course, and you had
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: all these preachers out there, and it just seems to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: me if you're the preacher who gets up and says
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that it's not a golden calf, then you probably have
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: already lost the argument. The whole thing is just weird.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you something, I am troubled
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: by ministers of the Gospel were clearly using their pulpits
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: to to try to gain what I believe to be
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: favor and influence with the administration.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, no, no, no, I agree with you, Todd. And
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: by the way, Todd, I mean you're a biblical scholar.
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: I've written commentaries on the Hebrew scriptures, the Greek scriptures.
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: We just finished publishing a six volume commentary of Isaiah
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: from Hebrew. Here's the deal. Nepiknisser was a wicked man.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: He was the king of Babylon and the first king
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: of Iran. Cyrus conquered him October thirteenth, five thirty nine BC.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: And by the way, Iran Cyrus, they love Cyrus. The
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: Iranians today they love Donald Trump. They love him. They
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: are dancing in the streets for what Trump is doing.
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: My wife lived in Tehran before I met her for
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: four years. I love the Persian people. I cannot stand
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: the Arab Shia, not Sunni. I've got some great Sunni friends.
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: Shia Islamic overlords. They have murdered fifty thousand Persians. Now
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: here's the deal. You ask about the statue. Trump built
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: a statue. I think that's just stupid. But you know what,
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump's not asking me that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: But here's the deal.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Nebukanezzar of Babylon built a statue for himself as well,
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: and God used him to humble nations that we're proud.
• 28:28
  Speaker 8: And here's what's fascinating God used Nebukanes and then converted Nebukanzzer.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: In Daniel chapter four, Nebukanezer writes his own story of
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: conversion in his own Aramaic language. So here's the deal.
• 28:44
  Speaker 8: I think that statue is just silly, but I believe
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: Trump is a fabulous president. Do I worship him? Are
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: you kidding me? I worship Christ. I think it's stupid
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: to build a statue, but I know my Lord uses
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: kings who built statues to themselves for his purposes to
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: humble proud nations like Shia around to relieve the Persian
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: people of their oppression. I don't know if that answers
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: your question, Todd, but you ask, and that's my respect.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, look, I think it's a great explanation. And again,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think Trump is forcing anybody to bow down
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: to the statue, and for crying out allowed us out
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: his golf course. So whatever the president wants to have
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: erected at the golf courses, well that's that's his decision.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, what do I Carens, You know it is
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: what it is, Okay, Wade Burl, liston where do people
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: want to go if they want to get information about
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: your campaign, your platform. Where do you recommend we send them?
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: You know, because I don't have a website. I mean,
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: I mean, you know, Todd, you're a great guy. I
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: by the way, I know we've got I want to
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: be conscientious of time. You can google my name. I'm
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: all over the internet.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: What do we have?
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: Thirty seconds?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, about thirty seconds.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: Okay, I'll make this thirty seconds. I was at Madeira,
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: the island where they grow wine. John Hancock, George Washington,
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: Benjamin Franklin. That's their favorite wine. Two months ago, I
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: bought the exact bottle of wine that John Hancock purchased
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: when his ship called the Liberty was captured by the British.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: After John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence, he poured
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: a bottle of Madeira wine that the British had not captured,
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: and all the founding fathers toasted to Liberty. I bought
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: a final bottle from the same family, the same vineyard,
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: and on July the fourth, I will with my family.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Toast the Liberty.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Todd. If people want me to be elected, I'm not
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: going to draw salary or benefits. I'm going to fight
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: for our country. They can Google my name and if
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: you live in CD three, you can vote for me,
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: but don't give me money. I'm serving the country. Thanks Tom.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, everybody. Wade Burlison a

• 32:09
  Speaker 9: new stations, new new people. But uh, I'd just like
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: to kind of touch some of the points you talked about.
• 32:16

• 32:19
  Speaker 9: and mentioned the Liberty that was captured by by the British. Well, uh,
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: while we're on the topic, we'd like to talk about
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: the United States ship Liberty. I'll hit this quickly that
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: was attacked by our only ally in the Mideast, by Israel,
• 32:31

• 32:32
  Speaker 2: All right now, let Eddie Eddie, I'm going to stop

• 32:35
  Speaker 2: things that we have a hard fast rule here on
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the show. You wanted to call in and talk about
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the restaurant situation. I really want to stick with that topic,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: so we don't have a lot of time. So do
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you want to weigh in on the restaurant issue?
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: Yes, I would. I'll see we can't touch the third rail.
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: I understand that.
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, hold on, no, no, no, let me explain that. Hold on, Eddie.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: So look, we just require honesty on the program, that's all.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: We're not afraid of Tom talking about any topic whatsoever.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: But what we don't like is when people misrepresent themselves
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: when they come on the program.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: Okay, well, let's go to the other topic I was
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: I said I was gonna address.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of time here, so let's
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: get to it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: Okay, well okay, I'll just okay, Well, uh, you don't.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: You didn't call it. No, that's exactly no, No, Eddie,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Look here's the deal man. We we talk about whatever
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: we want to. We we talk about everything. There are
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: no issues that are off the table on this program,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: none whatsoever. And our call screeners a our team here, folks,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: they work and Eddie is one of the seminar callers,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: all right, so he you know, and they do that,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: they call in and they try to sneak in a
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: conversation and we're not going to go down that path today.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: And all we ask is that you be honest, you know,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: And I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: If you can't be an honest human being, that really
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: does say a lot about your character. So just be
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: careful about that. All right, let's go to the villain
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: is America's friendliest hometown, Mark Mark. It's good to hear
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: from you, my friend.
• 34:06
  Speaker 10: I got a couple of things that let's talk to
• 34:07
  Speaker 10: you about. You know, Friday, you were talking about UFOs
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: and everything.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I forgot. Yes, it's been a busy news cycle.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I forgot about the UFOs.
• 34:16
  Speaker 10: Yes, oh man, Yeah, that was that was unreal. But
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: you know, if you could be teleported, can you imagine
• 34:23
  Speaker 10: the money? You would say? You wouldn't need a car,
• 34:25
  Speaker 10: you would need gas. You know, you'd haven't made I
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: wish I could teleport work.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: So you're talking about the Trump administration official who says
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: that he has been teleported to various waffle houses across
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: the Southern States.
• 34:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yep. You know, I say the aliens are the
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: far left, you know, like the Corteses and the Pelosi's,
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: and you know there's spaceships are actually they're broom. That's
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: the way I look at it. You know, I said
• 34:53

• 34:58
  Speaker 10: You know, being here in the village, it's the fastest
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: growing retirement community in the country. And I see this
• 35:05
  Speaker 10: every day. You know, people having things going on with
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: their hearts, and the technology they've come up with today
• 35:11
  Speaker 10: is just done real. So the bottom line is, don't

  Speaker 10: barbecue for you, no, doctor Pepper. You're on a grass
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: diet now, and you're gonna have to understand that. I

  Speaker 10: It's just incredible. You have got Trump was here a
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: couple of weeks ago.
• 36:12

• 36:19
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he did great, he did great. There's a lot

  Speaker 10: So oh, I'll give you a ride on one, all right.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Mark, good to hear from you and my friend. Folks
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: got to take a break. Nine oh one two six
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one two
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Starting Show, live.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's conservative.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Blowtorch that this American Todd starts day. All right, Well,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: President Trump now looking at suspending the federal gas tax.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Well this is good news. That's his way of combating
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: these higher gas prices. Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Todd
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Stearns Radio Show and honored to have you with us today.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Hour two of the Big Show underway. The President says
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: he aims to suspend the federal gas tax for a
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: period of time. And look, I think that is a
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: terrific idea. I was, I was running some errands and
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I realized, gosh, I've been two weeks since I'd filled
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: up the Cadillac. So I go pull into a pull
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: into a gas station and I was literally on empty,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: literally on empty, guys. And so I'm not really paying
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: much attention. Do the credit card thing. Make sure that
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: the credit card is not one of those fake things,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: you know, the fake cards.
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: I was scoping all of that out, And of course
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: you're in Memphis, so you're kind of doing the look
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: around just to make sure nobody's working in the bushes
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: ready to shoot you or car and jack you. That's
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: it's just normal day in Memphis. And so so anyway,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I glance over and I guess the and normally it takes,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I know, a couple of minutes to fill up the car.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: And I realized that normally it's about wow, thirty forty
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: bucks backs to fill up a Cadillac. And I glance
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: over and it was already at twenty something dollars. I'm like,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: holy cow, that was fast. And then I looked down
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: and I was paying four dollars and sixty nine cents
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: for a gallon of regular unleaded. And you know, I've
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: got one of these hoity toity cars that demands the
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: high end gas. I don't do that. I make it
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: live on a middle class budget. So I'm always regular unleaded.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. Always gets me. Those folks,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: you know, the types, they're driving into the Maseratis and
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: they're just making sure somebody's watching as they hit the
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: premium plus. Yeah, they can afford to pay seven bucks
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: a gallon for gas. So anyway, Joe Messina, so I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: posted this. I'm gotta share this story with you, Dylan.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: This drives me nuts and again on this program, folks,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: we don't work off of talking points from anybody. And
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: when I see a problem. I just call it out,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: and the fact that the fact that gas in the
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: state of Tennessee is now well over four dollars a
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: gallon and it is reaching the point to where it
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: was when Biden was in office again, So I just
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: posted it. I didn't even post any commentary. I said,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: here's how much. And I took a little screenshot, I
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: did the you know, the video, the whole nine yards
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: put it up there. And now people think I'm anti Trump,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: and they said that I should be that Todd Starnes,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I should be. I should consider paying a higher price
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: at the pump to be a form of patriotism, to
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: show my support for the war in Iran. And I'm thinking,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what the hell is wrong with you? Why
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: would I want? Why would anybody want to pay higher
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: prices at the gas pump? And so now all of
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: the same people, and those are the same people who,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: by the way, who say you have a patriotic duty
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to pay higher prices at the gas pump, do your
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: part for the America First movement. Those are the same
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: people who wanted to run Joe Biden out of office
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: for having high gas prices. Can't have it both ways. People,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: you can't have it both ways. So anyway, my good buddy,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Joe Messina, I gotta call this. I posted this. I
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: haven't even seen what the remarks are yet. I just
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: uh and somebody said, starting to buckle up, you're a
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: nancy boy. No, I just don't want to pay seven
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: bucks a gallon for gasoline for crying out loud. Where's Messina?
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Are good? You hear him every Friday on the show.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: So Messina apparently he gets gas at a place called
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Skyline Ranch Plaza. So if you if you see a
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: jaguar there, fill it up. That's Messina. Man, Dylan, that
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: is a sweet ride. That guy's got so nice, I mean,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: and he just like whips in it out zoom shoom, zoom,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: zoom zoom.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: You have to if you're in.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: That man, try not to hold on for dear life.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: But you're hitting one hundred and twenty on the Yeah,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I didn't. Okay, anyway, here's the prices. You're ready for
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: this over they're paying California right now. And of course
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: they've got their own problems because I think most of
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: this price is wrapped up in taxes and regulations five
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: five ninety nine a gallon. This is These are all
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: credit prices. Five ninety ninety gallon for regular on London,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: six forty nine and then seven twenty nine. That's that's
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: got to be. It's for diesel. Seven nine a gallon
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: for diesel. So there you go. Those are what the
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: prices look like out there. Now you can call me
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: anti Trump, you can call me whatever you want to
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call me, But the reality of
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: it is this, come election day, people are going to
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: be voting with their pocketbooks, and if these gas prices
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: go any higher, we're gonna have some We're gonna have
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: some very unhappy voters out there. Got a nice card
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: in the mail. This is for you know what. We
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: haven't done mail bag in a long time, so I've
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: only got one piece of mail, but I'm gonna read it.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: So actually I have two pieces of mail. So normally
• 43:01

• 43:04
  Speaker 2: but it's very nice to to share some happy news
• 43:09

• 47:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Radio Show. And Democrats are in a full blown panic
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: mode right now. The plan was to redistrict. That was
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: the ultimate goal here, and they wanted to basically ensure
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: that they could steal the election in the in November.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: That was the ultimate goal here. Now keep in mind
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: that Democrats have been doing this jerrymandering for generations and
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Republicans have just not done a good job with him.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: And I want to let me just say this here
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: is that the whole thing is out of control and
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: there is no common sense. And and look, the reality is,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: until that happens, we've got to play the game that
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the Democrats started. That's we've got to do unto the
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Democrats of as they have done unto us. But they're
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: There are two moving puzzle pieces here that we got
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: to talk about, and the first one is the Supreme
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: Court coming in. This is an overall decision, a national decision,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court coming in, and it's a case out
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: of Louisiana, and the Court is basically saying that you
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: cannot gerrymander a district just to ensure that a black
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: person or a white person, or any person of any
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: skin color is guaranteed a win solely based on the
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: color of their skin. And this is going to impact
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of congressional districts around the country, but specifically
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: and predominantly the Southern states. So we're talking about we're
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: talking about Mississippi, We're talking about Louisiana, South Carolina, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I believe possibly Alabama. And the Democrats are freaking out here.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Haking Jeffries says that when
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: they take over, and this is again why we cannot
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: allow the Democrats to ever regain control of the Congress.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: And here's the reason why they are going to completely
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: obliterate the courts and they are going to stack the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Take a listen to Cut fourteen.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: In period of time, we do have these structural problems
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: that need to be addressed. We've got to, for instance,
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: make sure we pass the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: Advancement Act so we can end the era of voter
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: suppression in the United States of America once and for all.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: We have to end citizens United dramatically reform our campaign
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: finance laws to stop the ability of these deep pocketed special.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: Interests to intervene.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: And we are going to have to explore massive judicial
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: reform state by state and at the federal level, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: That's the reason why you cannot allow these Democrats, because look,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: they're telling you exactly what they're going to do here.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: So Amby Philip Over at CNN had a complete meltdown
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: over this because the other component is the Virginia Supreme
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Court stepped in and said, oh wait a second, Democrats,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: you broke the law. You cannot you cannot redistrict there.
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: There is a process to redistrict and you violated the process.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: So they threw out the redistricting vote, which means, as
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: it now stands, the Republicans are going to be able
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: to maintain their seats. So when it's all said and done,
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: now we understand that the Republicans if they lose, they
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: if they win every single race they're supposed to win,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: and lose every race they're supposed to lose, the Republicans
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: are going to pick up fourteen seats. I mean, it's
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: a brilliant strategy, and people are freaking out about it.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Here's Abby phillipon se.
• 50:42
  Speaker 12: N America's redistricting battles just became a full fledged war.
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: Democrats are vowing to go all in tonight after a
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: consequential setback in Virginia, the state Supreme Court striking down
• 50:55
  Speaker 12: the new congressional map that favors Democrats, ruling that the
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: party began the process of putting the measure on the
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: ballot too late. The new map would have created four
• 51:05
  Speaker 12: new majority blue districts, and it was created in response
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: to President Trump's call for red states to redraw maps
• 51:11
  Speaker 12: to favor Republicans. Now, last month, voters narrowly passed that referendum,
• 51:17
  Speaker 12: and Democrats are vowing to appeal the House Minority Leader
• 51:21
  Speaker 12: Hakim Jeffrey says that the fight is just getting started,
• 51:24
  Speaker 12: and it all comes after the Supreme Court issued a
• 51:27
  Speaker 12: historic ruling that severely weakened the Voting Rights Act of
• 51:31
  Speaker 12: nineteen sixty five, and it opened the door to new
• 51:34
  Speaker 12: redistricting battles all across the South, like for example, in Alabama,
• 51:38
  Speaker 12: where Republicans are now asking the Supreme Court to allow
• 51:42
  Speaker 12: the state to revert back to an old map that
• 51:44
  Speaker 12: it had struck down the Court in twenty twenty three
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: ultimately ordered the officials to redraw its map after tried
• 51:51
  Speaker 12: to pack black voters into one district. So we are
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: to be frank in the depths of hell now when it.
• 52:00
  Speaker 13: Comes to redistricting.
• 52:01
  Speaker 12: I don't think there's a better way to put it, Like,
• 52:04
  Speaker 12: there's no bottom officially here. I think between the Supreme
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: Court ruling and Virginia, we have a situation where pretty
• 52:15
  Speaker 12: much every state is going to be looking at their
• 52:17
  Speaker 12: maps and seeing whether they can box out the other
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: political party.
• 52:21
  Speaker 10: And the result is.
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: Going to be, I think, just terrible, Yeah, chaos, terrible
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: for our democracy, but for black voters in particular in
• 52:29
  Speaker 12: the South. They're looking to lose pretty much most, if
• 52:34
  Speaker 12: not all, of their representation in Southern states.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: But they're not. And that's the thing. So what when
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Abbie Phillip and the Democrats say stuff like that, what
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: they mean is they're going to lose a black congress person,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: right that this has nothing to do with representation. And
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: hear me on this, Nobody is losing representation in Congress. Nobody.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: And I want to give you an but I'll give
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: you let me give you this illustration. Person. Then we'll
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: take a look at New England for example. So there's
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: been a lot of controversy here in Tennessee about the
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: elimination of Steve Cohen's congressional district, and the city of
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Memphis is going to be broken up into three different
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: congressional districts, which actually is a good thing you would rather.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: You know, the more congress people who have representing you,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: the better chances are you're going to be able to
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: get whatever you need out of Washington DC. I mean,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: it makes sense to me. But the argument is that
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: that Cohen's district is meant to be a black district,
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: which is laughable because Steve Cohen is white. Now, he
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: got elected for the first time twenty years ago in
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: every single one of those races, and so that was
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: ten congressional races, right the House members they run for
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: office every two years. Those ten congressional races. Steve Cohen
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: had a black, a very well qualified black opponent, challenge
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: him in the Democrat primary. So my question is why
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: didn't the majority black district vote for the black guy.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Why did they vote for Cohen? I mean, if this
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be a black district, right, so then
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: on the Republican side, because they're saying, well, the Republicans
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: are racist, Well, the Republicans are not racist. I spent
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: a good amount of time taking you know, in between
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: taking drugs and going to the cardiologist. Over the past
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: week or so, I've been spending a lot of time
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: looking into this. Republicans in the same district, the ninth
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Congressional district, they actually nominated a black woman six of
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: those times, six times, and by the way, she actually
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: defeated very well qualified white candidates. And so again my
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: question is, fine, you get to the general election in
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: this majority black district, why is it that the black
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: voters went with the white guy instead of the black woman. Again,
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: if this is supposed to be all about race, which
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: is what which is the argument they're trying to make.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: The reality is that the Democrats have not done a
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: very good job of representing Memphis in the Congress, and
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: that's about to change. Meanwhile, in New England, twenty one
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: congressional seats for Democrats in the New England States twenty one,
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: not a single not a single Republican in the mix,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: and over forty percent of the entire New England area
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: voted for Donald Trump. So if you want to talk
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: about jerrymandering and what is fear and what's not fear, Yeah,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: let's have that conversation. But the Democrats started all of
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: this a long time ago, all right, got it? Take
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: a break here, folks. Nine oh one two six zero
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Out of Chicago. A lot of businesses are starting to
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: shut down, and people are really upset at Walgreens. And
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: I've got no beef with the big box. You know, pharmacies.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I personally shop at a locally owned, locally run pharmacy.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: That's sort of my jam. And I just love this,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: sort of like a Mayberry experience. You know, you go
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: in there, everybody knows your name. If you're not feeling well,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: they'll bring you'll they'll bring your drugs to you. Dylan,
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: they gave me a drug last week, well it was
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: prescribed that it has given to me anyway, I don't
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: know what it was, but it gives you amnesia, so
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: you don't remember what you've been through.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: I kind of don't like that, But was it a
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: good experience for you?
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: I asked for a refill. I'm like, I want to
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: take one of those every day. You probably forgot that
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: you got that every day exactly. But anyway, so there's
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: a big problem in the Chicago a community of Chatham,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: and they've had a Walgreens here for years, as far
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: back as anybody can remember. And this poor Walgreens has
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: come under fire because they're shutting down. They said they
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: can't do it anymore. They've lost over a million dollars
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: in shoplifted revenue. I mean that's a lot of money.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: And we're talking about Walgreens here, okay, and people are
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: just robbing them blind. And on top of that, they're
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: having to spend almost four hundred thousand dollars a year
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: just on security staff. I want you to listen to
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: the report here.
• 57:32
  Speaker 11: On June fourth, this Walgreen's here at eighty seventh and
• 57:35
  Speaker 11: Cottage Grove will close its doors. Walgreens says it's closing
• 57:38
  Speaker 11: because this store has lost over a million dollars in
• 57:41
  Speaker 11: the last year and their team member safety is at risk.
• 57:45
  Speaker 11: Signs outside this Cottage Grove Walgreens explicitly warned customers it
• 57:49
  Speaker 11: is closing in less than a month It's a big deal,
• 57:52
  Speaker 11: especially for people who depend on this specific store, like
• 57:56
  Speaker 11: Grandy Evans.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Now you go tell Thenvation moldvent. I mean you didn't
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: close nothing in Anasonville.
• 58:03
  Speaker 11: In Karla, Germany.
• 58:04
  Speaker 8: I don't dry having to go Crosstown to get my
• 58:07
  Speaker 8: medicine will be an inconvenient.
• 58:09
  Speaker 11: At a community town hall inside Saint Mark's United Methodist
• 58:12
  Speaker 11: Church Saturday morning, officials from Walgreens sat at the front
• 58:16
  Speaker 11: while a few dozen people wanted to know why this location.
• 58:20
  Speaker 11: Walgreen says theft there is at sixteen percent, four times
• 58:23
  Speaker 11: the company average. Prescription volume fell thirty percent the last
• 58:27
  Speaker 11: five years, and pharmacy reimbursement rates are twenty five percent
• 58:31
  Speaker 11: below walgreens is average.
• 58:33
  Speaker 13: A lot of the times close lock boxes are getting destroyed,
• 58:36
  Speaker 13: and that's a great.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Cost to accomplable.
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: Walgreen says lockboxes in full time security costs four hundred
• 58:42
  Speaker 11: thousand dollars a year at this location. Even that doesn't
• 58:45
  Speaker 11: stop customers from jumping over counters to steal liquor, cigarettes
• 58:49
  Speaker 11: and make threats to team members.
• 58:51
  Speaker 14: Just imagine being a cashier your door to your son,
• 58:57
  Speaker 14: being a cashier and.
• 58:59
  Speaker 11: Witness and those to prevent more locations from closing. Walgreens
• 59:03
  Speaker 11: says they will pay for security features and swap out
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: their guards for tactical security. But even these reasons are
• 59:14
  Speaker 11: not enough for some neighbors who now must truck over
• 59:17
  Speaker 11: a mile to get prescriptions.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: All right, So now the city lawmakers in Chicago are
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: just outraged, but they're not outraged over the fact that
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: these people are coming in and shoplifting everything and stealing everything.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: They're upset at Walgreens, and they say Walgreens is the
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: bad guy here. They're saying that Walgreens has a community
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: responsibility to stay in the neighborhood even if they are
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: losing money on the shoplifted items. And by the way,
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: they're not the only people that believe like this and
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: think like this. The mayor of Seattle just announced that
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: she is going to stop physically stop grocery stores from
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: shutting down and moving out of Seattle. They've got the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: same problem there. So there's a guy by the name
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: of Alderman William Hall, and he says that this is
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: really all about racism. He said, Walgreens have been in
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: the community for nearly sixty years, and now as a
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: result of Walgreens leaving. They're creating a pharmacy desert. He says,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: when Walgreens opened up, everybody thought it was the best option.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: Now that Walgreens is leaving, we will have no options.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: He said at the end of the day that this
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: is a racial issue. Mister Hall said, when Walgreens came in,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: now that they're gone, they leave families behind. You come
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: into our neighborhood and you think you can leave us
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: with crumbs. We're better than crumbs. We know it's a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: closure by color. He contrasted the closures with stores in
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: predominantly white areas, saying the company appears more willing to
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: invest in maining those locations. Walgreens said, however, the closing
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: is only because of significantly higher levels of theft and
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: violent incidents compared to other locations. In other words, they're
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: not robin Walgreens Blind in the white neighborhoods Now, it
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: just seems to me that maybe the point of the
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: community meeting should not have been about attacking Walgreens. But
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: actually maybe I don't know, apologizing to Walgreens and trying
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: to figure out how do we stop the neighborhood from
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: robbing Walgreens Blind. So my question here, ladies and selmen,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: who do you think the bad guy is? Is it Walgreens?
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Should they be forced to stay in communities where they're
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: getting robbed blind or is the bad guy really the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: bad guys the people that are shoplifting. But this and
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: by the way, I was in New York City, what
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, and I was just astounded
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: everything every view walked in any store in New York City,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: everything is locked down.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: Now.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: You can't even go and get toothbased you asked, have
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: to call somebody. They've got to show up unlock the case.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: And by the way, there is a brand news store
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: and I believe it is a Kroger where they actually
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: create two different entrances and they're both locked down, so
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: they're trying to prevent people from literally robbing them blinded.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: zero five nine to six. Want to remind you, ladies
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: and gentlemen, now is the perfect time to pre order
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: my brand new book. It's called The Golden Age, How
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Trump Saved America. But this book is more than really
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: just a celebration about President Trump it is. It is
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: a guide book and a path forward. What does the
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: America First Movement look like after Donald Trump leaves office?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Who is going to carry that banner? And I discuss
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: those ideas in the book. It's the three over three
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: hundred pageses long. You're going to love this one. It's
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: called The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. You can
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: pre order a copy right now online wherever you buy
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: your books. Got to take a break, We'll be right back,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: all right. We have been covering this story for quite
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: some time on this program, and I believe it's an
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: important story for us to cover. It's an important story
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: for us to talk about because I do believe that
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: the United States does have a special and unique relationship
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: with the nation of Israel, and the rise of anti
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Semitism that we are seeing within the conservative movement at
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: large should be troubling really for all of us. I
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: want to bring into the conversation doctor aj Nolty, who
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: is the director of the Institute for Israel Studies at
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Regent University. It's a fairly new it's only been around
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: for a couple of years now, this institute, Doctor Nolty,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: it's good to have you with us on the show today.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: Thank you, it's great to be you know, I am
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: curious why was it important for Regent University to launch
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: this Institute for Israel Studies.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 15: Well, I think after October seventh, we saw the worst
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 15: day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, and the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 15: reaction on college campuses was not shock and outrage directed
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 15: at Hamas, but shock and outrage directed at Israel literally
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 15: the day after. And so Regent University, i think recognized
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 15: we have a long history of being supportive of the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 15: US Israel relationship and of Israel, going back to Pat Robertson,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 15: our founder, and so recognize that if the university, the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 15: rest of the universities in this country we're going to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 15: go that direction, we were going to go the opposite direction,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 15: and we're going to lean into who we are. And
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 15: so very quickly the administration took a very strong stand
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 15: against anti Semitism, and then in May twenty twenty four,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 15: with the help of some generous donors, we were able
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 15: to launch the Israel Institute and really try to the
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 15: torch of support for Israel onto the next generation.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious from your observations, Regent University of course
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: a Christian school. Have you guys been dealing with the
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: anti Semitism within the gen Z generation at the school
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: or you know, are are you seeing this you know
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: happen at Christian universities as well as the secular schools.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 15: Yes, it's absolutely happening at Christian universities. We have had
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 15: some anti Israel bias and anti semitism that has really,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 15: i would say, infected the student population, and it was
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 15: at a very specific time. So what I saw was
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 15: really there was none of it in the twenty twenty
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 15: four twenty twenty five academic year, So sometime between the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 15: end of that so May and August, there was a
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 15: real sea change, and it was particularly targeting gen Z
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 15: conservative men, so men who lean right and are very
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 15: engaged on social media between the ages of eighteen to
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 15: twenty nine, to the point that actually we were seeing
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 15: memes and arguments against Israel and frankly stuff that was
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 15: anti Semitic, that was targeting the young men and the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 15: young women, and the same cohort with many of the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 15: same interests were not getting it on social media.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Do we know where all of this is coming from
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: and where this is emanating so there, I.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 15: Mean, definitely, there's some things that are suspicious about it.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 15: It's been a coordinated campaign. There were a series of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 15: memes and arguments that have been made that have really
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 15: been catered toward a gen Z evangelical audience. I have
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 15: my suspicions of where it's coming from, and I would
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 15: suspect that there's some definitely some foreign influence behind it,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 15: just because of the level of consistency across platforms.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: But you know, obviously.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 15: There's been no smoking gun. But you know, we know
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 15: that Katar, for example, has spent billions of dollars on
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 15: anti Israel messaging geared at campuses, and so it wouldn't
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 15: be totally surprised to see either some people associated with
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 15: that government are connected involved, and there's a possibility that
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 15: it's directly linked back to Ron as well, although like
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 15: I said, we haven't found the smoking gun on that
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 15: just yet.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: So so the big question I suppose is how do
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: we how do we combat this? Clearly, I just think
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot of brainwashing going on in a
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: very clever way, using high tech knowlogy to make all
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: of that happen. So how do we how do we
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: fix all of this.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so that's a great question. I think first looking
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 15: at a couple of the root causes, and there are
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 15: two root causes among gen Z Christians that I've identified.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 15: You know, first of all, of course, this is the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 15: generation that had their educational experience in K through twelve
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 15: blighted by COVID nineteen, and so you had a lot
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 15: of let's just say, mixed, inconsistent messaging, outright false messaging
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 15: that was directed at their cohort. And then they were
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 15: also very very much on social media for some of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 15: those formative years, so there's a tendency toward conspiratorial thinking
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 15: that might be higher than would have been from previous
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 15: people in that age cohort. And the other thing that
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 15: I've seen is, you know a lot of the young
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 15: Christians that are coming through haven't been shaped and formed
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 15: by engagement with the scriptures as much as I would expect.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 15: It's a it's more of a post literate generation, so
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 15: they're engaging much more on social media, you know, audio, visual,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 15: all those types of things, and less directly with scripture.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: So how do we fix that?
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 15: Well, in terms of the conspiracy theory thinking, what we
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 15: found is that gen Z are most susceptible to peer
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 15: to peer engagement. So we focused on training and equipping
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 15: the student leaders that we have that are pro Israel
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: so that they can answer questions of their peers, and
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 15: then when they're questions they can't answer, I'm available as
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 15: a professor, you know, to sort of kind of do
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 15: the prove me wrong thing that Charlie Kirk was so
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 15: was so famous for. On the other in terms of
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 15: Biblical engagement, I think that's something that has to be
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 15: fixed really at the level of the churches, at the
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 15: level of the high schools. You know, there's there's got
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 15: to be a real serious re engagement of youth with
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 15: the Bible and particularly connecting the Bible with the land.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 15: So when we read the Bible, don't skip all the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 15: GPS data that tells you when and where things are happening,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 15: because that's it's really important for people to understand the
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 15: Bible happens in a particular place, and those things, I
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 15: think inoculate people against some of the frankly conspiratorial stuff
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 15: and crazy, you know, often very antisemitic stuff that we're
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 15: seeing crop up on the on the Christian right now.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Doctor aj Nolty is joining us. He is the director
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: of the Institute for Israel Studies at Regent University. By
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: the way, if you're watching us over the live show
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: blog on YouTube, you can pop over there. We have
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: posted a direct link to the institute. They're at Regent University,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: so you'll be able to find all that information there.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: And the break real quick here, we've got a couple
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: of minutes, said doctor Nolty. I love this idea, and
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's really about educating the kids. I
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: would love to see some sort of a program maybe
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: where we send American school American kids over Christian kids
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: to Israel for a week or two so they can
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: experience the Holy Land for themselves and they can get
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: a first really a first hand look at what, you know,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: what we're really talking about here.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 15: Yeah, imagine that you had, you know, like a course
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 15: geared at high school or middle school students that just
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 15: takes them through the geography of the Bible, you know,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 15: and does a little bit of of sort of history
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 15: culture geography, so that the Bible comes alive not just
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 15: as a religious text, which is deeply which it is.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 15: It's meaningful, it's God's redemptive work in history. But so
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 15: that we see the historical and you know even location
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 15: where that happened, and then from that, you know, students
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 15: that are high performers in that class, we'd take them
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 15: to Israel. I'd love to see something like that emerge.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 15: But you know, I think I think the important thing
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 15: is we can't start in college. Right, There's got to
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 15: be a serious substantive engagement with scripture and people that
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 15: know the scriptures, particularly people that have a high value
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 15: for the Old Testament and understand that that's integral to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 15: who we are as Christians. They are more inoculated against
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 15: some of the anti Semitism and anti Israel bias that
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 15: comes up.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: All right, and again, doctor DOLTI tell us where folk
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: you want to send folks that they would get information
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: about the Institute for Israel Studies.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 15: So it's a really simple RL Regent dot adu, forward
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 15: slash Israel that will take you to our website, Facebook,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 15: Instagram and the podcast that we do once a week.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, congratulations, I think that's the terrific thing
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: you guys are doing there at Regent University. And you're right,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: I think this has we need to start young and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: this is a role for the church to be involved,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: and let's just hope that our denominations are listening and
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: are going to do something about that. Doctor Nolti, thank
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: you so much for joining us today. Thank you for
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: having me, all right, and again, if you want to

• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: talking to Paul Johnson, who is a second generation vineyard owner.

  Speaker 2: He is the founder of the Republican Red Winery and
• 1:12:09

  Speaker 2: going to be honoring the national NCAA National Football champions.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza is not going to be there, and a
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: lot of folks are wondering what's going on with that.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: We've asked Parker to look into it and he'll bring
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: us up to speed on all of that coming up
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: in the in the next hour as well. Again our

  Speaker 2: by the news though that he dropped here a doctor
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Dolty saying that anti Semitism is also relevant is also
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: happening on many Christian university campuses. That's a disturbing trend.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: All right, got to take a break. Nine oh one
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. This is the
• 1:13:56

• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: America's favorite gun toting, bible clinging, deplorable American.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: That's this American. Todd starts welay, Well, hello, everybody, welcome

  Speaker 2: have you with us today. Write down our telephone number.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: You will need this if you plan on calling in
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: this hour of the show. Nine oh one two six
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two Say again that number. Nine oh
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. Well, a
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: busy day at the White House. You know, the President
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: always loves it when the athletic teams, when sports figures
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: show up at the White House and the President rolls
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: out the red carpet, and if they're college athletes, he's
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: normally serving I don't know, big Max and quarter pounders
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: and fileo fish, all sorts of great food. And the
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: President he's just always in a good mood. And I
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: think the reason why is the President loves surrounding himself
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: with winners. And today the NCAA football champions, the Indiana
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Hoosiers are going to be at the White House. You know, Dylan,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: this is like a huge deal.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah for this team too. I mean, considering the seasons
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 3: that they've had in the past and the historic season
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: that they had this past season, it's huge.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: For Cinderella story. Well yes, well, I want to bring
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: into the conversation. Are good, pal. He is the sports
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: director at KWAM Radio at Memphis, Tennessee. Parker May Parker.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: Good to have you back in Memphis, and this is
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: a big day for sports at the White House.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 16: Absolutely, so I'd great to be back in Memphis for
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 16: the summer. And it is a big day in the
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 16: White House, as you mentioned, the Indiana Hoosiers expected to
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 16: be at the White House around four o'clock Eastern time
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 16: this afternoon. And it's gonna be a great day at
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 16: the White House as we get to celebrate the national
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 16: champions you.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: Know, it's interesting, guys, Fernando Mendoza is not going to
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: be there, and a lot of folks Parker have been
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: wondering exactly why Mendoza is a no show.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 16: Yeah, the number one pick in the NFL draft, in
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 16: Heisman winner Fernanda Mendoza, the star quarterback of this Indiana
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 16: Hoosiers team, will not be there this afternoon. He is
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 16: instead to be at OTA's the first official full team
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 16: practices for the Las Vegas Raiders this afternoon. Today is
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 16: their first practice, so he felt he didn't want to
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 16: miss the first practice and kind of he's been taking
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 16: a more of a humble approach since joining the NFL. Well,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 16: he really has said that he has a lot to
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 16: work on, a lot he needs to learn, and he's
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 16: taking every opportunity to do so.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: Guys, did you see the Dylan's You see the video
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: from the Las Vegas after he got drafted, Yes, I have.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: What was your take on it? You know, because he
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: was I think a lot of people were surprised that
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like, well, praise the Lord, because everything up
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: to this point was praise the Lord and there was
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: no Lord in those comments.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Unfortunately,
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: it's all on camera now, so the whole world sees
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: a different side of him, maybe that they haven't seen before.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: Maybe they formed some different opinions on who he really
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: is behind the scenes.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: Look, I am not We're not about judging people and
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: their religion here, guys, And I think we may have
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: lost Parker there. But I think the challenge here, Dylan
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: is that I don't think that we got the I'm
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: not sure that Mendoza is the Mendoza that we think
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: the Mendoza is.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, like he's the LinkedIn football player, right,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: like he put his whole like business college on LinkedIn.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: He put when he won the national championship there, so
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: like he has to put on a face for the cameras.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: He's polite, he's very nice, he's humble, But then you
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: see him after games and you see him in parties.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: Like I mentioned earlier today, like we we live in
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 3: a day and age where everything's on camera. So anything
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: that you do outside of you know, your normal business
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: sour workdays is going to be seen by other people.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: So you have to really be careful if you want
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: to put that persona.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: On I just Parker, I want to believe it all
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: to be true. It just seems like if there's an
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: authenticity issue there, maybe I'm just reading to Maybe maybe
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: it's me. Guys, I'm just I've been on drugs for
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: almost two weeks. Maybe it's me.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 16: And it's something that's really weird to totally understand because
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 16: this is not a situation then you see it too often.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 16: Most of all players and athletes in general, matter how
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 16: humble they are, they're still very active on social media
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 16: in public with their interviews. Mendoza said the only social
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 16: media he has during the season is LinkedIn and YouTube.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so a very different.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 16: Approach to the star quarterback.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: Guy's other big story coming out of the White House,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: President Trump showing off the visuals the renderings of UFC
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Fight Night. I can already tell you four members of
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: the Sterne family already have tickets to be there, Parker.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: How big of a deal is this.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 16: It's the first of anything like this. It is very unprecedented,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 16: and this is a very unique situation. And that President
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 16: Trump has been very vocal about his passion for UFC.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 16: Has been seen at multiple fights all across the nation.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 16: So it looks it will be a truly one of
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 16: a kind event out on the White House Salon on
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 16: July fourth.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: Should be a really great spectacle.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: Dylan's gonna be a cage match.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he loves sports. I mean you can tell
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: he always goes to football games. He always is at
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 3: UFC events, like like Parker was saying, yeah, I mean,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: this will be cool. I don't think I've seen something
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: like this outside before. I feel like it's always been inside.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see, you know, just how the
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: people react, how the vibes are. I'm sure it'll be great.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is this is a one in a
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: lifetime thing.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be on the South Lawn. This was
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: June fourteenth, and it'll be streamed exclusively on Paaramount Plus.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: But they're opening up. I think a very small number
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: of people are actually gonna be able to be in
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: the arena, which is literally going to be set up
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: on the South Lawn, But everybody else is going to
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: be out in the Washington Mall and they're setting up
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: these huge screens. You know, there's gonna be a ton
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: of people there, Parker, And it is.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 16: Really interesting as you mentioned just a limited crowd actually
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 16: on the South On to be able to witness it
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 16: in person. But I am really excited to see me
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 16: in the crowds. I'll be viewing it just a few
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 16: blocks away and seeing the mass numbers that will be
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 16: there to witness this once in a lifetime event.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: Well, by the way, before we let you go, Parker,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: I'm curious. I was seeing reading something in the past
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: week or two about are they expanding the co Championship
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: playoffs to what eighty two teams or something?
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: Now, it's very disappointing.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 16: Seventy four teams or seventy six i should say in
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 16: the women's tournament. So we've had the first four on
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 16: Tuesday and Wednesday to playing games on each day, and
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 16: now that'll be expanded to six games each day, so
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 16: we'll go from seventy eight or seventy six down to
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 16: sixty four.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: Have they not learned for anything from the NBA. It's
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: like you forget that they're actually the playoffs. It's like
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: the playoffs that will never ever end.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: Do in and you can do away with any of
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: the Bowl games at this point, I mean, who cares.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's great for the cities like Memphis. We
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: have the Liberty Bowl, which is awesome, but in the
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: terms of like what it actually means to be in
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: a ball game or in a playoff, like those things
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: are kind of wasting away now because like, at the
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: end of the day, there are teams that are bigger,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: that are gonna win all the time, and they're gonna
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: be there. Except for Indiana. You know, they had a
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: great season, but like if it's a ball game, like
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: who cares. I'm sorry, It's just you're not doing any
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: service for them anymore. It doesn't matter in the scheme of.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Things, Parker, Are'm gonna give you the last word here,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: good or bad move?
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 16: Awful. I think it's the worst move that they could
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 16: have made because you're devaluing the value of making it
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 16: to the NCAA Tournament. I think this is something and
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 16: I think it really hurts them. In majors, I work
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 16: at a current major for the Sanferman's basketball team, and
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 16: so it really kind of hurts them because you're getting
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 16: more at large teams from the Power Conference teams in
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 16: that don't deserve to be in there. So you take
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 16: a look at who would have been in the tournament
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 16: this year, you would have had Indiana, who had nearly
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 16: a losing record, who probably would have gotten to the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 16: March Maadis summer this year, instead of getting more quality
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 16: mid major teams, is lower quality high major teams that
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 16: will be in the tournament.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, Parker, we'll check in with you and
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: good to have you back for the summer in turning
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: here at KWHAM our flying ship radio station for the show,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: and Parker will keep us up to and all the
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: big national sports stories. All right, We've got to take
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: a quick break, your folks. Nine oh one two six
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: to zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: two six zero five to nine two six. This is
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Show. All right, welcome back. This is
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: the Todd Stearns Radio Show. The owners of Slaps Barbecue,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: that's a very popular barbecue joint there in Kansas City.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: The owners of Slap's Barbecue were invited to the White
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: House and made a wonderful presentation to President Trump. These
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: are hard working businessmen and had a great conversation with
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: the President that has since gone viral on the social
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: media and the President asking the guys, hey, how's mahomes doing.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: He says, you tell the people that we love him.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: I said, sure, mister president.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 4: But the.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: President was just in good spirits. And these guys are
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: not real political guys. They're just they're business owners. And
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: it was a great opportunity to be invited to the
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: to the White House, as any American citizen would would
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: be excited. So anyway, as a result to that, and again,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: these guys have said nothing political at all, nothing political
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: at all. And now all of a sudden, these guys
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: are under fire and the owners are They were part
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: of a small business event. And quite frankly, if you're
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: a small business owner, I know we have a lot
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: of small business owners that listen to this radio program.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: And I can tell you that as the owner of
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 2: a radio station, that one of the best friends that
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: you can have is a small business owner. Because we're
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: all in this together. We're going up against the corporate giants.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: And what better way to can with a listener and
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: hear me on this. I'm gonna I'll get to the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: story in just a moment. I'm taking a I'm taking
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: a detour. Tell it. We need like a sound effect
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: when I take these detours. We'll work on it. We're
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: at a budget this month. So anyway, when it comes
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: to having a small business, a lot of times the
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: other big media is out of reach. They cost so
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: much money. The corporate guys they have certain they have
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: certain numbers they've got to meet every single month, and
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: they will charge you on the wazoo. What's interesting about
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: being the owner of a smaller of a locally owned
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: radio station like KWAM is that I'm the deciding factor.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: So let's just say you, you know, come up short
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: and you don't have enough to pay for a certain ad.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: You know what, we can negotiate that. We can work
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: through all of that. So the issue and the difference
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: is that we're here to help local businesses grow. And
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: let me say this, and there are some great surveys
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: out there and a lot of the industry trades that
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: when people advertise on radio, they actually get results. And
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: the reason why is people love listening to the radio.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: What is old is now new again. And a lot
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: of young people especially, they're there. It's not that they're
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: getting rid of the podcasting. They're no, they're still doing
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: the podcasting, but they want that human interaction. They don't
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: they don't want the polish. You know, they want real,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: they want raw, and that's what radio does. Live radio.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: It's like we walk a tight rope every single day
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: on this program, this program especially, But again, people don't
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: turn it off, and so the ads become a part
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: of the conversation and they're really not ads as much
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: as it is telling a story about your business. So
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: all that to say, thank you, if you're a small
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: business owner for supporting local radio, because you really are
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: getting your message out there. Now back to this story,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: and this just really bothers me. So Mike and Joe
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: Pierce were the founders of Slap's Barbecue. They were part
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: of this big white house event honoring small business owners,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: and then they put out a spread. They had all
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: their sauces and the dry rubs, the whole nine yards,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: and the president of course delivered remarks. And when the
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: President saw they're from Kansas City, well you know the
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: President's going to have a conversation about that. And so
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: now people have launched a boycott against the barbecue joint.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: One resident telling the Kansas City Star, I'm deeply disappointed.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: They for years have been my favorite in town. It
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: was the first food i ate after my wedding, and
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: I've recently told multiple people that it's the best in town.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: But now he will not be eating there anymore. He says,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: nothing tastes as good as integrity. You can tell because
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: they spent all day deleting critical comments and Google reviews. Well, yeah,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: I guess I would too. People are now calling for
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: a well a boycott and more than three thousand people
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: have liked that message. Now this bothers me. These guys
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: did nothing more than accept an invitation of the White House,
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: and now our people are out there trying to destroy them.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: Do you see how evil the left is? Do you
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: see how destructive these people are. They want to destroy
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: anything anything that is remotely pro America here, and that's
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: just unacceptable. So all I can do is give them
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 2: a shout out and say we stand with you. Slaps Barbecue,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: And if you were here in Memphis, I'd probably go
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: and visit you, even though I believe that Memphis Barbecue
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: is the best in the world, because that's what good
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: patriots do. We stand alongside our fellow business owners. These
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: guys didn't have I have Trump flags outside that went no,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: of course not. That's what I'm trying to convey to
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: you how unhinged the other side here is. These are very,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: very very bad people we're talking about. Anyway, we stand
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: with you. Slaps barbeque nine oh one two six zero
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: five nine two six. By the way, Dylan, we have
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: an update. Oh my gosh, I thought this was a
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: one and done story. The Arthur Steakhouse had a little rock.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 17: What the heck?
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: So now we have an update on what happened. Apparently
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: it's it's getting from it's going from bad to worse.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 13: Take a listen, all right, how I got a little
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 13: bit of an update right now for y'all. Shout out
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 13: to my girl. She wanted to update, so it here
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 13: you go, chaw. After all that did some type of
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 13: actual altercation happened, baby with some furniture moving around, and
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 13: do you hear me? So much so that one of
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 13: the sisters got arrested. Mmm, missus Asia, I think that's
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 13: the youngest one. Bag She was going ham and turkey
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 13: on the waiter. Now, just a little recap apparent they
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 13: felt like they were being racially discriminated against the waiter.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 13: That they had actually threw a plate of a state
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 13: in front of one of the sister's face. We're not
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 13: clear on what was said or if it was any
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 13: type of exchange between her and the waiter, but maybe
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 13: the whole family was mad and that's why that's why
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 13: they got up and was like, hey, Na, we need
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 13: to we need to speak to the owner. But the
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 13: owner was not there. So again, right now, she is
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 13: on a no bund right now, okay, court starting about
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 13: thirty minutes where I'm in, I'm trying to see if
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 13: I can get some information for y'all, might even might
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 13: even be able to go down there, you know what
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 13: I'm saying.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 8: But I'm gonna tell y'all.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 13: I'm gonna keep y'all posted on what's going on in
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 13: this And again the people say that some of the
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 13: people's saying that the girls was doing too much, but
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 13: some of the people in the restaurant was saying that
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 13: they was treating them like they was being racist towards
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 13: them as I don't know, but I'm gonna get. I'm
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 13: gonna get the cheefcow. You know what I'm saying. Income meolity,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 13: y'all will flowing out. I am just a messenger.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: Oh god, She's just a messenger. I don't believe any
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: of this not a single thing. This is a high
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: end state joint. I don't think anybody's going around there.
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: You think somebody, what are they gonna have like tomahawk
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: chomps and they're just wheeling and the weight staffage is
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: going around smacking customers upside the head. No, you're not
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: doing that. If you're in that place, you're eating, You're
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: eating that steak. That's what you're doing. Did she say
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: that the girl went ham in turkey on them? Oh jeez. Anyway,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: but we do understand that one person's already been arrested.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: So there you go, ladies and gentlemen. The very latest
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: update there from this crazy story out of Little Rock, Arkansas.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: People need to learn manners. All I can tell you
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: is a four and five year old I was very
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: well mad. We were we were trained to be well
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: mannered when going out to eat at the Piccadilly. I
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: didn't see anybody back in the day acting the fool.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: I don't care black or white or Hispanic or Asian.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: Didn't leave anybody out. I can't an Indian, well, not
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 2: the Indians with the the you know Tonto, Native Indian,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: Native Indians, No Native Americans, thank you, it's hard to
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: keep up with everybody these days. You know, you got
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: to keep everybody happy, everybody happy. All that to say,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: everybody was behaving, and if you didn't, you got your
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: butt whipped right there in the restaurant. And it didn't
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: matter what color your rear end was, because they were
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: all read. By the end of that adventure, we'll be
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 2: right back America, all right, edny word. US Senator Eric
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: Schmidt among those defending slaps a barbecue from this Trump
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: derangement syndrome mob. These people unbelievable. I got to tell
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: you something, and I'm just I have no inside knowledge,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: but I guarantee you a good many of the people
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: that are enraged that these barbecue guys were invited to
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: the White House closet veacans, mark my word, closet veacans.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: They're always just insufferable, these and you know why they're
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: insufferable because they don't eat meat. That's why let's go
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: to the phones. Nine oh one two six zero five
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 2: nine two six, Pastor John, what's going on?
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 18: Pastor Well Todd, I know we're talking about a lot
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 18: of hunch chined people and crazy things going on in
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 18: the world today, but you know what, just for a
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 18: brief moment, I want to speak to you as a
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 18: pastor and my family and I in our church, we
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 18: were paying for a quick recovery for.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 19: You, because, honestly, Todd, I've dealt with whittle makers. I'm
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 19: a paramedic back in the ancient days and those are
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 19: pretty bad. And we are so thankful to the Lord
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 19: God in the name of Jesus that you are still
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 19: with us. I know you're busy, but Todd pleased. This
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 19: is from our heart. We are so glad you're okay,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 19: and we look forward to many many, many many more
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 19: years until the Second Coming of Christ for you to
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 19: continue to broadcast. We love you, Todd and will continue
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 19: to pray for you.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 8: Brother.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: Well Pastor, I really do appreciate that. And I was
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: fortunate to be at a Baptist East Hospital and it's
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: just those are my people, and they do a great job.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: They have one of the best cardiac units in the nation.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: And it was really reassuring to hear every day the
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: chaplain comes over the intercom system and it doesn't matter
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: if you're in the surgical suite or the er, you're
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 2: hearing a verse of scripture and a prayer and it
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: was just really really comforting, and it was Look, it
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: was a tough experience. Incent is going to take some
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: time to get, you know, one back to one hundred percent,
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: but it's just fun to be back behind the microphone
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: hanging out with folks.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 19: Yesterday at Mother's Dave Barbecue, I had a sweet tea
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 19: in your honor.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 6: We love you, Todd.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I am honored. Thank you, Pastor John, my goodness,
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: appreciate that. Let's go to Memphis, Tennessee. Mike listening to
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: us on KWAM, our flagship station. Hi Mike, what's going on?
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 20: Greetings Todd, And likewise, it's good to hear your voice
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 20: and to know that you're there. Two things real quick.
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 20: Number One, people need to realize stores will close if
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 20: theft continues, such as we've got a lot of family
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 20: dollars in Memphis, and if theft doesn't stop, they will
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 20: be gone. Other than that, the gas solution, it's very simple.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 20: If we nationalize the oil to where we developed it
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 20: and we sell it to ourselves at cost. Yeah, we
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 20: can still export it to people like Japan. We can
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 20: be good neighbors at the international rate, but at cost.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 20: Even with a gas tax in Memphis right around a
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 20: dollar gallon instead of four dollars at Sam's Club today.
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 2: Wait, it was four dollars at Sam's Club.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 20: It was bumping up against it when we went there
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 20: two days ago, and I just heard they had it raised.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 20: I haven't been there to visually verified yet. I'm going
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 20: to tomorrow. But we it's our oil, okay, and they've
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 20: been doing this for a long time. We need to
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 20: take responsibility for ourselves. Yes, we can hire an oil
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 20: company to locate, hire drilling company to drill, hire company
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 20: to build refinery. We go to work at the refinery,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 20: and our children do and so forth, because we're old guys,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 20: you know, you and me. But then we go by
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 20: our hour resource. I've got a hayfield. I pay a
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 20: farmer to cut rake and bail a dollar fifty of bail.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 9: And he said, well, look, I'll.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 20: Come and cut rakon bail and I'll pay you a
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 20: dollar fifty of bail. And I said, but when I
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 20: need hey, he said, well, i'll sell it to you.
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 20: I'll bring it to you for six dollars a bail.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 20: I said, oh, instead of me being able to develop
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 20: my own hay and make three thousand dollars a year.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 20: I'll end up having to pay three thousand year. Said no,
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 20: I like it the way it is.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: I think one of the one of the one of
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: the challenges we have here is that there are I
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: think all the Democrats want business up in your grill, right,
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: that's the thing Democrats they want to be. They want
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: to completely control your life. The challenges that so do
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of Republicans that are in office right now.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 2: And I want the government out of my life as
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: much as humanly possible. I mean, it needs to. We
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: truly have to be able to return to the country
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: our founding fathers intended. And we've got to get We've
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 2: got to get the government out of out of our lives.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, we just have to. And that's just unacceptable.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 2: And especially with farmers and the regulations they're they're imposing
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: all these farmers. It's just too much. Mike, I've got
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: to run man. And you know what, Mike, it's good
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: to hear your voice too.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 14: I tell you.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: It's a This has been a long slog over the
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 2: past couple of weeks.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 20: Great, I'm all for term limits and if we eliminate
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 20: all the pensions guess what fewer people will run for Congress.
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: That's it. That's it, all right, Mike, appreciate the call.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: is our number. That's nine oh one two six zero five,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: nine two six. But this notion that now you have
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: to support higher gas prices or you're what anti Trump?
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 2: That's a load of hohoy, ladies and gentlemen, an absolute
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: load of whoy. Gotta take a break. We'll be right back,
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: all right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stearns
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Radio Show, starting our Monday off in grand style. Our
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: telephone number, by the way, nine oh one two six
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one six
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: zero five, nine to six. Well, I I want to
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: play some audio here. This is from Shreveport, Louisiana, from
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes last night. You know, the Democrats are they're
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 2: losing their minds. They're now calling for secession. They're running
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: around saying that we're in the middle of a new
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: civil war when it comes to this redistracting and jerrymandering.
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: Cut number four plays.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 4: Pastor Timothy Hunter, Linda Scott and Donnie Sutton have spent
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 4: their lives.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 2: In Shreveport and fear the future could soon resemble the past.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 14: The reality is, at the end of the day, it's
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 14: going to dilute the black vote.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 2: That's the whole purpose.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 14: This Republican Congress is all about making America. Jim Crowdean,
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 14: there's no more chicken balances. Everything that was there to
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 14: go to get this type of.
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: The straw. So there's no matter to stop that rain.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 14: Can you say operate politics from race in this district, No.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 8: You can't.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: Not in all of these Southern states.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 21: We've come a long ways, but not with this when
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 21: it comes to race, and not with the schemes that
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 21: they're putting up before us. It's just a disgrace. But
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 21: we must keep pressing forward.
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: We have to.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 21: Too many people have suffered and died for us to
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 21: have these rights.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 2: All right, we will look, this is only going to
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: get crazier, but at the end of the day, the
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: courts are ruling the right way on this. This is
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: not about skin color, and it can never be about
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 2: skin color. I would encourage people to go back and
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: listen to MLKA Junior's speech about that. All right, nine
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six is
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: are a telephone number. That's nine oh one two six
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Very excited to always support
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 2: pro America businesses, American made, American run businesses, and we're
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 2: honored to have Paul Johnson with us, second generation winemaker,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: the found of Republican Red Winery. Paul, Welcome to the show.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 17: Thank you so much for having me. I'm happy to
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 17: be here.
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 2: So look, we're gonna double dip with you because I
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 2: know later today you're gonna be on my Newsmax TV show.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 2: But I got the first of all, I got the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: incredible care package, and thank you very much for that.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: At our staff was incredibly grateful. But tell us a
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: little bit about this. First of all, we're gonna get
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: to the two fifty celebration and all of that, but
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious how a guy runs a Republican red
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: winery in California.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of us here in California,
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 4: a lot more than you would believe. You know, if
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: you were to look at a heat map of California
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 4: once you get out of the city centers, as you imagine,
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 4: it's pretty red actually, and especially when you're in the
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: agricultural areas like I am.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: So one of the great stories the part of your
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: historian at the website. By the way, folks, republicanred dot com.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 2: That's Republicanred dot com, a true American success story. And
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: you guys are all about being conservative and supporting local
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: farmers and I just love that. Has that always been
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: a part of the vision?
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 17: Yeah, you know, I am a second generation Vittner.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: I learned from my dad and I, you know, for
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 4: fifteen years was farming, and so starting my own brand
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 4: was never really on my mind until it was. And
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: I started this about five years ago, and the idea
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: was to create a brand that's centered around a value system.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 4: Rather than every other winery out there that's about the
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 4: family that makes the wine or the land that it's from,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: it's kind of self centered. I thought I was going
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 4: to start something that was for a community of people,
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: and being a conservative myself and heading into the twenty
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: twenty election, I thought, what better time than to start
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: something that meant something.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 2: A lot of folks are not aware that the pretty
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: much the modern conservative movement was birthed in southern California.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: I know, you guys are in what Monterey is that
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 2: but California has this rich heritage of being the place
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: where conservatism was was birthed and where it grew. Of course,
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: the it's the state that gave us Ronald Reagan, and
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: so it just it's exciting. It must be exciting to
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 2: see that your your company is not only growing, it
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 2: is thriving and doing so well.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm very, very proud of it.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 4: Where I started this on a bootstrap budget and kind
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 4: of against my dad's wishes. Actually he said, whatever you do,
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 4: don't start a winery. It's a tough business. But I
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: took all of his cautionary tales and built this business.
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 17: Model with that in mind.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 4: And that's why we've gone direct consumer. That's why we've
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: taken bold stamps on our marketing and the restill. The
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: retail stores really won't carry us. They won't allow us
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: in there, and that's why we are an online only company.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: I'm curious why not. Why won't they let you in?
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 4: Because the word Republican is in our name and they're
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: afraid that the Libs here in Californian across the country
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: will come in and make a stink about it. And
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 4: the ethos behind the brand is not to cause controversy.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 4: It's to bring people together over a glass of wine,
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 4: to have real human interaction and real discussion. So it
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 4: baffles my mind a little bit, but that's the way
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 2: Paul Johnson joining us the founder of Republican Redwinery. Republicanred
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 2: dot com is the website and they'll be able to
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 2: see all their wonderful products and read their story as well.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: And I'm just again fascinated by the story Paul. I
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: love to go to our local farmers market over on
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: the weekends and it's always fun to be able to
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: sit down and talk to the farmers and purchase as
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: much of their product as possible. And I don't think
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: people truly appreciate how hard it is to do what
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 2: you guys do.
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, from grape to glass, there is so
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 4: much that goes into a bottle of wine and into
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: your agriculture in general.
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 8: And so.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: You know, we're proudly American made. There are there are
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: companies out there that can import wine up to twenty
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 4: five percent of the wine, you know, foreign bulk wine
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 4: and blend it in and call it American wine. And
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: you know, we don't do that, and we don't do
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 4: that with our packaging. We're really committed to being an
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 4: America first company and serving our customers, and so our
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 4: whole supply chain is American made and it's something I'm
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 4: really proud of.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: I'm curious what the response has been to all of this.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 4: Oh man, I mean, I've received horrible messages online and
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 4: you know, attacks on me and threats, but it's all
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: in my mind. The cowardice all happens online. It happens
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 4: where people aren't face to face. Because when I'm out
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 4: in my community and I'm in coastal California, there's liberals
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 4: in every direction. Oh yeah, yeah, And I'm not shy
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: about who I am. But when you're a person to
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: person and you can connect and have a conversation, it changes.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 4: And even if they disagree, you know, they still see
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 4: you as a human. I think all this garbage happens online,
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 4: and that's been my experience.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 2: And if you get too much of the hate, you're
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: going to so open up another bottle of wine and
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 2: after a couple of I really don't care.
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's part of the deal. But I wanted to
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 4: make a stand. I wanted to do a little something.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 4: We now have eighty thousand customers from coast to coast.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, so you must be doing something right.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean each one of our labels.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 4: But by this time, we've released twenty five thirty different
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 4: labels right now, where you have about a dozen available
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 4: for purchase. But each one of those labels starts a
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 4: different conversation. And we had, you know, some labels to
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 4: honor Earley Kirk's legacy. We have our forty five to
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 4: forty seven labels. We just launched a Midnight Hammer in
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: an epic Fury Magnum bottle of wine. And the way
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 4: I think about it is, each one of these bottles
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 4: has started some conversation around a table somewhere in America.
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 4: And to me, that's that grassroots kind of that was
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 4: the intention of the brand in the first place, and
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 4: so I'm really proud of that.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 2: And of course you've also just launched a Freedom to
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 2: fifty collection to celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday celebration.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 2: I want you to tell our listeners about that.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So we have a collection of six wines that
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 4: are really to honor America two fifty, and we've sourced
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 4: some extra special wines and so these are from a
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 4: vineyard deep in Carmel Valley. They are spectacular wines. This
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 4: vineyard was actually used for Bush Seniors inauguration for the
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 4: wines served at his inauguration dinner. And the wines are
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 4: spectacular labels. We spared no cost in making them. We
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 4: have the Liberty Bell bottle, we have a Minute Men bottle,
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: we have Washington crossing the Delaware, and a few other
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: labels that are just they're spectacular, They're beautiful, and they're
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 4: wonderful wines. And I thought, what better way to celebrate
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 4: America too, Thins.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: Well, let me just say this, the crate that you
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 2: sent us filled with bottles just absolutely stunning. The artwork
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: and those are really pieces of art in and among themselves. Paul,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have to leave it there, my friend, and
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 2: we'd love to get you back on soon. I just
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: love this story, and I love what you guys are doing.
