• 0:01
  Speaker 1: From the principal Toyota Studios, it's Morning in Memphis with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Todd Starnes.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Hello, everybody. Good morning to you.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I hope you're starting off your day here in the Mid-South,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: and it is a great one. The heat dome continues
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: to cover the Mid-South, and Laura Huckabee will be along
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit later on with your latest forecast. It's
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: going to be hot, and I really don't want to...
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: upset too many of you, but they're now predicting the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: first frost out in East Tennessee. So East Tennessee seems
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to be exempt from the heat dome. And so if
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you're heading this weekend anywhere east of Chattanooga, you're heading
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: up to the northeastern part of the state, you might
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: want to pack a jacket. I'm just saying it's hot.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of crazy things happening right here
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: in Memphis. By the way, one of the positive things
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: is the Freddy the German. This is the guy, he
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: and a couple of his pals, they came over for
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the World Cup match. Fell in love with America. They
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: traveled all over. And Freddie the German started posting about
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: all of his adventures on X and became something of
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a celebrity and was, I mean, people just rolled out
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the red carpet for this guy. And so he came back.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So he's doing another tour of America. And he is
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in Memphis, Tennessee. I think he's heading down to Auburn.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: But just don't tell Parker Bay I said that. But anyway,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: they they stayed over at the Southland Casino, the beautiful
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: hotel over there in West Memphis. And now they're wandering
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: around Memphis and we need to provide them. Freddie the German,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with a list of things to do and places that
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: he needs to eat. So if you've got any recommendations
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: for what Freddie the German needs to do here in Memphis,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we want to make sure that he leaves with a positive,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you know, a positive feeling as best you can, and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: perhaps maybe places that Freddie the German needs to avoid.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: We know that the guys listen to talk radio, so
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: good morning, Freddie the German, if you're listening this morning.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And welcome to the Bluff City. So if you've got
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: some suggestions, give us.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: A call this morning.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And maybe Freddie is listening and he may very well
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: take you up on your recommendations.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: 260-5926 if you've got some recommendations for Freddie the German.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Always nice to see Memphis in the news. Well, look,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: there is a war brewing within the Democrat Party here
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in Memphis. I know it's catching a lot of you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: fine folks off guard. People are like, what the heck
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: is going on? Yesterday, Mayor Paul Young posted something on
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: his on his ex account. And we're going to read
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that to you in just a moment. But the mayor
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: got set off by a lot of hate that's being
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: spewed in his direction. And it seems as though the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: individual who really set off the mayor is a very
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: well-known attorney here in the Mid-South by the name of
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Henry Reeves III. And Henry Reeves is leading the charge here.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: And we'll read some of the some of the comments
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that that Reeves wrote, which are really profane and very racist.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So here's I want to cut to the chase here
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and then we're going to play the audio. So you'll
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: understand you'll have the context that you need. But Mayor
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Young is facing all sorts of criticism. Now, first of all,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you need to know that the post that is circulating
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: on social media is, in fact, authentic. I actually reached
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: out to sources within City Hall yesterday, and those sources
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: confirm— and these are sources very close to the mayor— And
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: those sources confirm the mayor wrote every single thing that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: he wrote. And we'll get to that in just a minute.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And then I'm going to tell you, I'm going to speculate,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: but I have a theory about what's about to happen
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in the big mayor's race coming up. First of all,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Reeves has been very upset at the mayor over a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: series of things, really fired up. over the data centers
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and Elon Musk. He doesn't like Elon Musk. And Reeves, who,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: by the way, has gotten himself into some trouble in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the legal community, and we'll get to more of that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: in just a minute. But Reeves also very upset about
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the Memphis Safe Task Force. And the other day at
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: City Hall, and this is adding to the controversy, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: this part of it really doesn't have anything to do
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: with Mayor Young, but I think it's just truly fascinating.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: They had a bunch of GOGs show up at the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Memphis City Council meeting. We call those gals of girth.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: These are big old gals, and they've got nose rings.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: They hate men, and they hate Trump. They hate ICE.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And anyway, they were causing all sorts of mayhem. at
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the city council meeting, but they were cutting off microphones,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the city council was, and the reason why is because
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: they were disparaging elected leaders. Well, you can't do that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You can't do that. Yes, it's rude and it's impolite
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to call out people like, you know, what's the guy's name? Oh, yeah,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Lee Harris, the do-nothing mayor that we had, except drive
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the county into the ground. Yeah, I mean, he may
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: be a sorry so-and-so, but he probably shouldn't say that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You've got a right to say it. And for city
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: council to shut down microphones, they've got, that's not cool.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But that had nothing to do with Paul Young, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: they're throwing that in as well. I want to read
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: some of the posts. This is who Henry Reeves is.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to read some.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Of his postings. And this is who, this guy hates
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Paul Young. And here's what he wrote.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Brent Taylor and Marsha Blackburn have been leveraging racist dog
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: whistles their entire campaign. If you vote for or support
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: either one of them, you are a white supremacist. Well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: so what Henry Reeves is saying is that the entire
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: listening audience, or a good chunk of them, that listen
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to KWAM, that you people are white supremacists. What this
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: guy is saying is that yours truly, Todd Starnes, your
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: lovable morning host here on KWAM is a white supremacist.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: And to that, I tell Mr. Reeves, go blank yourself, sir.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Blank you, sir.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: What a sorry piece of garbage this guy is. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: this is unacceptable. Now, look, people, they call me all
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: sorts of names and I get it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It's fine.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: That stuff doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you've got shysters. And lowlifes and gutter dwellers like Henry
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Reeves III going out there and smearing good and decent
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: people who pay the bills.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And Mr. Reeves, just bear with me for a minute.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: While your clients are out there shooting up the city,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: we've got people that are out there, Trump supporters, that
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: are going to work every freaking day. They're paying their
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: property taxes, sir. They put their garbage in a garbage dumpster, sir,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and not on the streets. They mow their grass. They
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: care about their city. They make sure their kids are
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: in school. While you're out there protecting the lowlifes, sir,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you've got people out there who are Trump supporters that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: are trying to make Memphis matter, that are trying to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: make Memphis safe again.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: And look, I get it.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You know, the criminal thugs, they got to have attorneys.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. Everybody gets a fair trial,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you know, in America. That's how we do things. But
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: for an attorney, a supposedly educated man, I mean, we're
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: assuming he's educated, but just because you're educated doesn't mean
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you're a stupid idiot. But to go out there and
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: to say that anybody here who supports Brent Taylor or
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Marsha Blackburn makes you a white supremacist, give me a break.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So anyway, this is what Paul Young is having to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: deal with. So he goes on. I'm just reading, scrolling
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: through some of these things. This moron has been writing
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: on social media. Want to be Paul Young from Oak
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Haven to people speaking up for poor blacks, but Toby
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: from the plantation for these racist white folks. YT, folks,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that's the slang for all you honkies out there in
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the listening audience. This guy is a racist. I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you think Al Sharpton's bad? Talk about a race grifter. Oh,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: here we go, and it gets worse.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Reeves says the New Madrid Fault could open and swallow
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: half the city. The sky could crack open and angels
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: descend from heaven. If the Memphis City Council doesn't vote
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: for the data center moratorium within three weeks, They are
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: all Elon's house in words. I wonder how Yolanda Cooper
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Sutton appreciates being called a house in word. Also, here
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: we go. Any city council member that doesn't vote for
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a moratorium on data centers is either a white supremacist
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: bought or both. They just gave Westwood, Whitehaven and Boxtown
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to a racist junkie. who could care less if the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: residents live or die. Talking about Elon Musk here, by
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the way. That's what that's all about. Mayor Young is
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: too B-word. Mayor Young is too B-word mad to say
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: anything about it. If you say I'm hating you, a
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: B-word too. That is what that's what setting up setting off.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Mayor Young. Oh, here we go. I forgot one more.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Don't let these people gaslight you into not calling out
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and criticizing your elected officials when needed.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: That ain't hate. That's called not letting folks play in
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: your face. Mr.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Reeves, I'm sure, again, an educated man, but I believe
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the correct spelling. And he meant to say your face. sir,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: which is spelled Y-O-U-R, not yo face. You can't make
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: this up. So anyway, I want to go back. We're
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: going to play some audio. This is This is from
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Delicia Bollinger. We first introduced you to her, and then
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: she went on to fame. You know, she is a resident,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a longtime resident of Whitehaven, and President Trump invited her
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to sit on the panel when he was in town
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a couple of months ago. And she's explaining what's really
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: going on here.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Cut 37, please.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Hi, Mike.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Memphis man instead of putting them crashed out on Memphis, man.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So today, he drops this very interesting post via Facebook.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: And it reads, I've seen a number of misinformed, silly-ass
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: posts trying to paint me as a sellout the past
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: few days. Paul Young from Oak Haven, if you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know. Paul Young from Oak Haven wants to respond
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: because I have plenty to clap back with. But the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: God in me says to stay focused and to keep
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: doing the work. I'm going to listen to the Lord.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Let's keep working, people. It's so funny because I'm pretty
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sure we've all been seeing the posts and all this
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: stuff that's been flying around, which, you know, the people
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that it's coming from really ain't got no room to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be saying nothing. The posts have been very interesting. Anyways,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you know, finally, Paul Young is getting... to feel the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: wrath of what the Democrats are like. Because you got
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to remember, they are the ones that voted him in.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: And currently, he's not acting like they're talking black in office.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Because according to Mipians, he's going to the other side.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: He's been seen in pictures with Marsha Blackburn. He is
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: seen to be working with the Trump administration. And you
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: know they don't like that. And then to make matters worse,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is that he's absolutely acting... dense. He's acting asinine as
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to what's going on, especially with the Memphis Southern Task
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Force as of recent. So you have to understand, Paul
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: has to understand this here. This is Memphis. A lot
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of the kids here, most of the kids here can't
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: even read past third grade level. So just imagine if
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: it started from home what the parents are like. They
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: just as equally as stupid. So you dealing with people
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that have an education, my capacity of a geriatric as far.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: They they already don't know no better. But it's the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: fact that, you know, what's going on. And my thing is, people,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: people just need confirmation. I mean, we see it. But
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: why you ain't saying nothing? And people have to understand, again,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that this is the feds. This is the executive branch.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: This is the highest branch. So you have no choice
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: but to work with the feds. That's what the people
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: realize here. You had to do this because you're the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: current mayor and you had no choice but to work
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: with the feds. But to act like you absolutely don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, I think that's what's sending the people.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: One thing I can say about Paul Young is that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: he's very calculated. And I do like the way that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: he move because he know when to speak. And my
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: thing of it is that he really he really didn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: have to.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: All right. Let me jump in here because she goes
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: over a while and she is fired up. Did she?
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: She said.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: She used the phrase geriatric ass fart describing these people,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: which is great because if you've been anywhere around a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: geriatric ass fart, you know, they're smelly and musty. I mean,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: it's not very unpleasant. Grab some Febreze. All I can
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: tell you is that Mayor Young is fired up. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: kind of like to see the mayor fired up. I
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: don't know about you. But the fact of the matter
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: is this mayor understands how dangerous this city was. And
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: he understands what President Trump is trying to do. And
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Paul Young, a Republican, hardly, not at all. But the man,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the man is stepping aside and he's letting Trump do
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: what needs to be done to make our city safe again.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: As for Mr.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Henry Reeves III, sir, you ain't no Johnny Cochran. You
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: sure ain't Matlock.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Yo, man.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Mayor Paul Young coming under fire from the radical Democrats
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and I know it's an oxymoron, but what do you
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: want me to do here? So here's where I think
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: all of this is going. Brent Taylor is going to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: be the next congressman from the 9th Congressional District. Justin
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Pearson is going to lose that race. So here's what
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I predict is going to happen. I think Justin Pearson's
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: probably going to run for mayor and challenge Paul Young
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: in next year's mayor's race. That's what That's where I
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: think all of this is going. Paul Young is going
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to run for reelection. He was in D.C. meeting with
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the Congressional Black Caucus folks. So he's trying to shore
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: up his support and his money because he knows he's
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: going to be facing opposition from somebody. So Justin Pearson,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I think, will probably jump into the race. And Pearson
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: just needs a platform to spew his white hate. You know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you talk about you want to talk about the Klan's people. Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: there you go. Justin Pearson. That's the guy wearing the bedsheets.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But he he hates white folk. And all you have
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: got all you got to do is listen to his speech.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Everything he says, it's it's all about the white guy
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: calling all of our all of our elected Republicans down
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: at the statehouse, a bunch of white supremacists. That seems
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to be the thing these days. So that's where I
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: think this is heading. I will say this, that it
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: would be a great opportunity if the Republicans in Shelby
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: County can.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Get their act together. So pardon me.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But if the Republicans can get their act, I can't
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: say it with a straight face. Anyway, it would be
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: a great opportunity if there is, I don't know, another
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: political party in the area, if they could actually mount
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: some sort of a credible mayoral race. This could be
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: an opportunity for the Republicans to pick up the mayor's office. No, no,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I have not been to Old Dominick's before the show.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. If you're going to have Pearson
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and Paul Young going at it, it's very possible that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you could have– I mean, they're going to be splitting
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the Democrat vote. If you could give– no, I was
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: going to say the R word. If you have another
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: political party out there that could mount a very serious
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: and well-funded campaign.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Who knows? I mean, anything is possible. No, I know. No,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I have not been to all dominates. All right. Hang tight.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: We've got to take a break here. By the way,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Secretary of State Trey.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Hargett coming up next. We're going to talk about elections
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and getting registered to vote.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Hang tight, everybody.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: 901-260-5926.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back. All right, if you're looking for a.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Great event, you can dress up, get gussied up, have
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: a good time, night under the stars. Well, I've got
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to tell you about what the Navy League of Memphis
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: is up to. It is the 2026 Wine Under Wings.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: This is really a lavish event coming up, and it's
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: going to be held over at Wilson Air, over by
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: the airport, and it's a great night for to salute
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: our Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard active duty men
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and women. There is going to be a lot of
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: great wine, a lot of great gourmet food, and the
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: local Memphis Knights are providing big band background music. You're
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: going to have wine and dinner and dancing all under
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the stars. It's going to be a lot of fun.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: If you'd like to get information, go to NavyLeagueMemphis.org. That's NavyLeagueMemphis.org.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: What a great night to have a lot of fun.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You can buy an entire table if you'd like, or
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: you can just get a couple of tickets for maybe
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: your husband, your wife, and just have a wonderful time
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and celebrating our great men and women who wear the
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: uniform of this country. That's the Navy League Memphis. Go
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: to their website, NavyLeagueMemphis. We'll be right back. and many
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of you are just simply not registered to vote. Well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I want to go right away to our Patriot Mobile
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Newsmaker line this morning and say good morning to our
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: great Secretary of State, Trey Hargett. Secretary Hargett, good to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: have you with us today.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Todd. Now, when you start talking about getting
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: gussied up at the Navy League event, I thought you
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: were talking about National Vote Registration Day.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we should have done that. But again,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure people want to wear a tuxedo to
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: register to vote.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Hey, that's the good news. I mean, you can get
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: by with no shirt and no shoes to register to vote.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: You can do it in the comfort of your home.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: You know, you could do it on an iPad or desktop.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: You know, your iPhone. I mean, you've got options.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: You know, it is important, and it's National Voter Registration Day.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, you know, how does Tennessee compare to
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: other states when it comes to registering, getting folks to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: register to vote?
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: You know, unfortunately, while we're number one in election integrity,
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: of course, the Heritage Foundation, we rank among the bottom
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: ten states in the country when it comes to voter
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: registration and voter participation. And all it would take to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: change that is if everybody who's a registered voter would
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: try to find one more person who's not registered, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: get them, and we would go from the very bottom,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the bottom 10, we'd go to the very top. We'd
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: be number one. So, you know, I would encourage you,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: if you're a registered voter, find someone in your sphere
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: of influence who's not registered and get them registered today.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering why that is.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Is it just because, you know, maybe one party, the Republicans,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: have a super majority, and maybe people are getting complacent?
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Why do you think that is, that folks aren't registering?
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: You know, I do believe that's part of it. I mean,
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: you know, whenever Memphis plays Boise State or UNLV, then,
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: you know, it's a little more competitive. Whenever Memphis plays
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: UT Martin, there may be a few less people that
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: tune in to watch that game. So, you know, I
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: think whenever the races are more competitive, that tends to
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: drive turnout. And when they're not as competitive, then it doesn't.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I really hope that people pay heed because this
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: is an important election. And every election is important, but
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: we've got a lot riding here in the midterm elections
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and on the midterm elections. Let's talk about ways that
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: people can register to vote, and that's one of the things.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: It is pretty simple to do.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Well, in fact, Todd, it's never been easier to register
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: to vote in Tennessee than it is right now. I mean,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: of course, you can do the traditional way. You can
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: go to the Shelby County Election Commission or the Election
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Commission in other counties in your listening area. You can
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: mail in a voter registration application. You can do that
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: as well. Now, keep in mind, when you come to
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: vote the first time, you've got to go in person,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: and you've got to make sure you bring your state
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: or federal issued ID. But I tell you what people
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: are accessing now is they're going to our website at
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: GoVoteTN.gov or using our GoVoteTN app. And, you know, right
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: there in the palm of your hand, you can be
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: registered in less than, I'm going to say, three minutes
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: tops if you want to be.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's super simple. And I mean, you can
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: look up your sample ballot. I mean, you can do
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of things on this on this website.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: Well, absolutely, you can. I mean, and also it's important.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm glad you brought that up. You can
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: look at your ballot. We need people being familiar with
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: the ballot before they go to vote during early voting
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: in October on Election Day in November. We've got three
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: constitutional amendments. on the ballot and they're long and people
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: need to go ahead and read them. You don't want
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: to be the person who's standing in line deciding for
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: the very first time, hey, I guess I got to
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: read the constitutional amendments and holding everybody else up. So
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: be familiar with your ballot before you go vote.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: You mentioned early on, Mr. Secretary, about voter integrity. And
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I love that we are number one in the nation.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I know when I go and vote and I know
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: just about every, you know, you know how it is.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Everybody kind of knows you.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: And so I go in and the lady there at
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: the at the desk you know, says, oh, hello, Mr.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Starnes.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: And I tell her, you know, we have exchanged pleasantries.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And I say, well, I'm here to vote. She goes, well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I need to see your ID. So I love that, though.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's important.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: That's right. You know, and they do it for me, too.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: When I show up at my polling station in Sunderland County,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: they ask for my ID. And so I think it's
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: a common sense way to increase voter integrity. You know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of people several years ago tried to make
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: that out to be a partisan issue or racial issue.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, in fact, if you look at national polls,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: over 80 percent of the United States public believes that
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: we need to have photo ID.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious because, you know, on the Save America Act,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: you know, the argument is, well, You know, it means
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that that brides, I think Joe Scarborough said his his wife, Mika,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: can't vote because, you know, she's got a name change
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: or something here in Tennessee. Have you guys had that
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: problem where newly newlyweds can no longer vote?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: No, that's not been a problem. And I think that's
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: a talking point of the left, frankly, to try and raise,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: try and get people fired up to be against a
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: common sense measure, frankly.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: And just, again, to be clear, and I don't mean
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: to be facetious at all, but the other argument is
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: that minorities, and specifically black voters, this is coming from Democrats,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: that they will not be able to have, they can't
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: vote because they don't have access to IDs or getting
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: an ID. Has that been a problem in Tennessee?
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not been. I mean, in fact, in Tennessee,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: we also make sure that anybody that wants access to
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: have a photo ID can get one for free at
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: the local driver's license center. So, I mean... You know,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: there's ways to do that. And frankly, we make this
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: out harder than it is. If we tell people that
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: there's Taylor Swift tickets buried under a statue somewhere in
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Shelby County, we'll have people out there at 2 a.m.
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: with flashlights and a shovel trying to dig them up.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: But if you tell people, hey, you need a photo
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: ID to be able to vote or do other things
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: in our society, they make it sound like it's a
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: big deal.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's a great point. Trey Hargett, our Secretary of State,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: doing a terrific job for us on our Patriot Mobile
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Newsmaker line.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: This morning.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering, you know, about educating, you know, especially the
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: next generation of voters, those kids that are 17, they're
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: going to be 18, able to vote in.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Their first election. What do you guys do?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Are there any programs or anything that you guys use
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: to educate kids in Tennessee schools?
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: Well, absolutely. We've got a... A wealth of civics programs,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: and one of them is the student mock election that
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: we're trying to get. We try to get schools to
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: get their students in the habit of voting so that
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: when they do turn 18, they know what it's like
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: and know the importance of it. One of the real
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: cool things about that, too, is that we have students
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: who have gone home with their I voted sticker and
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: their parents or grandparents have seen them. And it's inspired
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: those parents or grandparents who get registered to vote. and
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: go vote. That's been a really neat product. We've got
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: an essay contest that runs from pre-K through 12th grade,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: where students can earn scholarships for their award-winning essays regarding
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: civics and the importance of civic participation. And we've even
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: got curriculum that we use based on Tennessee Blue Book
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and other civics ideas to be able to help integrate
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: civics into more than just social studies. you know, there's
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of different things we can do to teach
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: people the importance of voting. And in fact, this morning,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: later this morning, I'll be at Collierville High School talking
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: to a group of students about what our office does
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: and the importance of being an engaged citizen.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: You see, I love this.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: And I think this is so vitally important that we
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: go into the schools, we educate kids about the importance
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: of voting and the political processing involved.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: This is very cool.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: By the way, Collierville High School has one of the
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: top FFA programs, they're churning out some great farmers there
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: at Collierville High School, one of the best programs in
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: the nation, award-winning. So you're going to a great school
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: this morning.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a fantastic high school, not just for FFA,
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: but as you know, I mean, the academics there are
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: really strong. Shelby County, you're fortunate. We've got a lot
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: of great school systems here.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: So let me ask you, because I think we need
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: every school in Shelby County doing this. So schools, if
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: they want to participate in the mock election, all they
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: have to do is go to the website. I see
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: there's a big red button that says click here to register.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Is that how that works?
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: You absolutely can do that. If you're not sure about it,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: go to our main website at sos.tn.gov, and you'll see
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: that there's an icon at the top of the page
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: for civics. And it will take you to all of
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: our civics items as well so you can avail yourself
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: of many more resources.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: And, ladies and gentlemen, if you've got any questions at
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: all about getting your kids' school involved in this, just
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: give us a call, and we'll make sure to share
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that information directly with you.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Our number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Mr. Secretary, it sounds like
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: you're going to be on the road quite a bit.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: You guys traveling across the state talking about civics.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Well, we do. And, of course, we're talking about the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: constitutional amendments. I'm back here with the Collierville Chamber of
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: Commerce briefly this morning to talk about the importance of voting,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: the things we do to protect the integrity of the vote.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: And got several other visits in West Tennessee. And, of course,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: we're going to be very present across the state leading
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: up to Election Day, just trying to encourage Tennesseans to
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: to get registered to vote, to go and vote, to
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: make their voice heard, because it's the most fundamental way
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: we participate in our form of government.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Well, if you're driving around, just a heads up, you know,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Freddie the German, I don't know if you were following
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: his adventures during the World Cup. He was kind of
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: like a celebrity. He's in Memphis. Well, he's in Memphis today.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: So if you hear a guy with a German accent,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: very well may be Freddie. So say hello for us.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: If I can find him, I'll tell you what, I
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: know that we have a lot more students, participating in
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: student mock election because he could definitely get the word out.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not sure Freddie could register, though.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: No, he definitely can't in Tennessee. I can't tell you
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: about some other states.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Well, fair enough there. All right, Mr.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Secretary, we sure do appreciate you coming on KWAM this morning.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: And by the way, we're going to be at Collierville
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: High School next Thursday feeding. Our job is to provide
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Chick-fil-A breakfast. to the Turning Point USA kids over there.

• 30:31

  Speaker 2: We've got to take a break. And again, if you'd

  Speaker 2: and you pick up a pair of tickets to see
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Kool and the Gang tomorrow night, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Let's
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: go to Justin in Collierville. Justin, I understand you want
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to weigh in on Mayor Young.
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning, Todd. So what you're seeing happen with
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Mayor Young, is a symptom of how he ran his election.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: So if you remember, that was a crowded race. I
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: think Mayor Paul Young got only like 20% of the vote,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: but what he did was he got a good percentage
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: of the Republican vote. He took away from Floyd Bonner,
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: but he galvanized the progressives, the Amber Shermans, the Black
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Lives Matter, you know, the Awkwerfer people. And so he
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: went into his administration saying, being divided. He's really been
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: an ineffective mayor because he's trying to play both sides.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: So now his base is mad at him, the more
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: progressive side. Well, they should be because he ran on
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: a platform that he would serve them. And, you know,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: this whole big tent, you know, approach doesn't work because
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: you don't go into representing the people that you say
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: that you will. So good on the progressives that get
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: mad at him. I wish Republicans, we had a backbone
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: like that to keep our elected officials accountable. But, you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: Paul Young calls this when you put your foot in
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: both sides of the party and tell them that you're
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: going to do something for them and it doesn't happen.
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: I like what he's done, but he misrepresented himself coming
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: into office.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: So you're saying that basically he deserves what he's getting
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: here because he portrayed himself as a progressive to the progressives,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: and it turns out he's not a progressive.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: Well, I think Mayor Paul Young is a practical mayor,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: and he's doing what he can being practical.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: But you can't do this. You can't play with this
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: side and expect different results. You have to tell the
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: people what you are. what you're going to go into
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: office and do. So this is why you've got people
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: so upset at him because he's not being who he
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: said he was going to be.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, Justin. We got to leave it there,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: my friend. This story is not going away. And this
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: is going to have ramifications politically down the road across
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: the city.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Justin. 901-260-5926. Let's go to Memphis. Michaela is
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: on the line. Michaela, how are you doing today?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Michaela, I'm doing well. Are you surviving the heat? That's
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: the big question. And if so, how are you doing it?
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. Unfortunately, I am.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: It's brutal out there, Michaela.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I think, you know, over at Walmart,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: they're making a run on the kiddie pools. People are
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: dying to get into a swimming pool. Michaela, are you
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: having a good day? Are you having a good start
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: to your day?
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: All right, we're going to make your day a little
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: bit better because, Michaela, you and a guest are going
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to see Kool and the Gang live at the Garden.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Congratulations. Michaela, here's what we're going to do.

• 35:23
  Speaker 2: giving away two more pairs of those tickets. So if
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: you want to go see Kool and the Gang, you'll
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: be able to do that tomorrow. But we'll have a

• 35:42
  Speaker 2: a great concert tomorrow night. Be sure to hydrate because
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: it's going to be awesome.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Hot.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, that is the word of
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: warning to everybody going to the big game Saturday at
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Liberty Bowl. They're advising people to drink plenty of water,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: stay hydrated. That's the big Tigers, what, UT Martin game.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I was impressed that Secretary Hargett actually knew about that.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, I want to give a big shout
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: out to the Libertarian Party, of Tennessee. They're watching us
• 36:17

  Speaker 2: to be talking to one of the independent candidates, Lauren Pinkston,
• 36:32
