12
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: I'll be anchoring. I'm doing pulling a double shift over

13
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: on Newsmax later tonight, but thinking about heading down to

14
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: Beal Street later this evening. The great thing about Memphis

15
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 3: it's now safe to go outside, and we're so excited.

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: I was so, I was talking to somebody who's done

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: at the Peabody Hotel and they saw the ducks and

18
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: they said, Todd, the ducks aren't wearing kevlar. This is

19
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: great news. And it's all because of Donald J. Trump.

20
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 3: And so I mean We're expecting thousands and thousands of

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 3: people down on Beal Street to ring in the New Year.

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: They used to drop but what was it a guitar

23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 3: or something that was back in the day. I think

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: now it's just a regular ball. So we're going to

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: have to work on that. But we got to drop something.

26
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: Drop it like it's hot. Anyway, We got to do that,

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: and we'll work on that. Nashville is going to be

28
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: insane down on Lower Broadway, and of course Times Square,

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: which is I don't know, they are doing something. They're

30
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: expecting about a million or so people to turn out.

31
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: And I remember years ago, back when I was at

32
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: Fox News Channel, that was my job every every New

33
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: Year's Eve. I was anchoring our coverage there in Times

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: Square and it was you know, look I enjoyed. It

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. We We actually had a

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: pretty good location. We were set up right in front.

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 3: If you've been to New York City Times Square, they

38
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: have an olive garden there and the olive garden. Right

39
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: in front of the olive garden is where the Fox

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 3: News satellite truck would set up. And that was our

41
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: sort of our base camp for New Year's Eve. Coverage

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: and had a good time. The only time it was

43
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 3: really bad is when it was snowing. Not so much snow,

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: but when you get the freezing rain, and that's that's

45
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: always an unpleasant thing. So anyway, we're very excited to

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: be with you broadcasting this afternoon. We're going to be

47
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: taking your calls. Got any New Year's resolutions? What are

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,040

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 3: a call nine oh one two six zero five nine

50
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,

51
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 3: nine two six, And we're going to be taking your

52
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: calls throughout the program, sort of like an open line Friday,

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: except it's open line. What day is it? Wednesday? It's Wednesday.

54
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: The past two weeks, I've I've lost track of time.

55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's just me, but I'm I

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm coming or going. So look, there's

57
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: been a lot of angst over the past past couple

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: of days. People are really frustrated around the country. Carrie

59
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: Lake among them, and she is among many that are

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: saying this is this is out of control. We're not

61
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: doing what we promised the voters we were going to do.

62
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: We've got to start seeing people arrested and thrown in jail.

63
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: And I don't disagree with that. As a matter of fact,

64
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: I will say this that if we don't start seeing

65
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: people thrown in jail pretty durn quickly, then I'm that

66
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: I'm afraid we never will. And because the administration, the Republicans,

67
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: they've talked a good gain, they really have. I mean,

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: they've held the hearings, they've collected the evidence, and they've

69
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: been doing this for years. So it's not a matter

70
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: of Okay, well, you know, give us a few more months. No,

71
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: we don't have a few more months. The arrest need

72
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: to happen now. All of this Minneapolis fraud, this Minnesota

73
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: fraud that's been coming out, they've been investigating that for years,

74
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 3: for years. They've got the evidence, they got the goods,

75
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: they know who's responsible. Nobody's been arrested, nobody's been charged.

76
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: We're still waiting for people to be arrested. On the

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Russia Russia, Russia. Nobody's been charged, nobody's in jail. The

78
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 3: Justice Department doing nothing. And I know there are so

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: many of you. Author you love Dampongino, Cash Bettel, you

80
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: love Pam Bondi, and there are many of you that

81
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: believe that Bongino could do no wrong. Bongino, he I

82
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: just don't get this. He built his career, his entire career,

83
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 3: on how they had all this evidence, but the FBI

84
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: refused to prosecute that lives are in danger. I mean

85
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: every single day he was dropping these huge bombshells, and

86
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 3: he promised that once he got to the FBI, he

87
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: was gonna adjust it and just expose everything. We've got nothing,

88
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: nothing at all. And so there's there's concern because there

89
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: are a lot of people that have seen I've been

90
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: talking about this for about three weeks now. There are

91
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: others who are just now coming around to by way

92
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: of thinking, and I'm glad they do. And that's typically

93
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: how it works. You know, we were talking about these issues,

94
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 3: and it takes people time to catch up to where

95
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 3: we are. But if there's one thing I'm good at,

96
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: it's reading the general public. And we the people are

97
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: getting pretty frustrated here. And I'll explain why just a moment.

98
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: But here's Carry Lake on Newsmacks last night, cut sixteen.

99
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: There's not a damn person in handcuffs, yet they dragged

100
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: Roger Stone out of his House, they raided mar A Lago,

101
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: they attacked President Trump. When are we going to see

102
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: some effing handcuffs on some effing criminals in this country.

103
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 4: The American people have had it up to hear and

104
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: we want some people locked up, prosecuted, behind bars for

105
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: the rest of their lives. We're sick and tired of it.

106
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Carry Lake really encapsulates how a lot

107
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 3: of people feel around the country right now. I mean

108
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: all the things they did to Donald Trump, raiding mar

109
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: A Lago, the arrest, all of the fake the fake

110
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: criminal charges, all of that. Nobody's been arrested, nobody's been charged.

111
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: Look at what's happening in Congress right now. We can't

112
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: even get the United States Senate to pass the Save Act.

113
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: That's a pretty simple piece of legislation. And you know why,

114
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: because John Thune is hiding behind the traditions of the Senate.

115
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: There's no law that says we have to have a filibuster.

116
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: It's a tradition. There's no law in the Senate that

117
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: says we have to have the blue slip. It's a tradition.

118
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: And John Thune would rather protect Senate traditions than advance

119
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: the America First agenda, and the America First agenda is

120
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: not just President Trump's agenda, it's our agenda, right, I mean,

121
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 3: that's that's what we're all about. That's why we sent

122
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: everybody to Washington in the first place, and it was

123
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: primarily because of Donald Trump, the Republicans writing those coattails.

124
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: But the reality is Congress is not getting a lot

125
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: a lot done. Really they're not. By the way, here's

126
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: Congressmanship Roy talking about why we have to pause immigration.

127
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: Cut one empower the American people to do what they

128
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: do best, and we've got to pause immigration. I introduced

129
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: a bill to pause immigration because we've got to stop

130
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 5: this massive abuse of our system using H one b's

131
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 5: using diversity visas. President Trump is exactly right to have

132
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 5: frozen the diversity visas, to have stopped that, to freeze

133
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: the flow from countries of concern. Remember that in nineteen

134
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: twenty when we had a high percentage, we froze immigration

135
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: for forty years and our country vanquished. You know, the

136
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 5: Nazi Nazis in Germany freed the world. We did great

137
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 5: things in those forty years. We can do it again.

138
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 5: That's why I introduced legislation that pause immigration. The President's

139
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: right to do that, and I'm supporting them in that effort.

140
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we've got to do that. We have to

141
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: do that. So as as we go to break here,

142
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: we're going to open up the phone lines. We're calling

143

00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: the administration has done over the past year? How would

147
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,239
Speaker 3: you grade the Trump administration? How would you grade Congress?

Speaker 6: Tier.

168
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 7: What I'm calling about really is the war in Ukraine.

169
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 7: And what bothers me the most is we have the

170
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 7: European Union. There is a bunch of flackles as far

171
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 7: as I'm concerned, because what's happening really is Putin went

172
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 7: into Ukraine because he wants to re establish the former

173
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 7: Soviet Union. Ukraine falls. All those little countries all around

174
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 7: Ukraine are going to be next he can win over Ukraine.

175
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 7: They're going to fall like a house of cars, like dominoes,

176
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 7: all those little countries.

177
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: Sonny, Why is that our fight? Why should we be

178
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: concerned about that?

179
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 7: Why should we be concerned about that? Is because well,

180
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 7: technically you can say we don't have to be. But

181
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 7: these other countries don't seem to give a damn. Now

182
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 7: we have the UN in the United States, in New York.

183
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 7: It sits on six and the half acres of Manhattan.

184
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 7: Manhattan's real estate sells by the square foot. There's six

185
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 7: and the half acres of nothing. You haven't heard a

186
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 7: word about the UN going there after Russia or somehow

187
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 7: or the other, or condemnum or anything. I know, I haven't.

188
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 7: Maybe they have, I don't know. But are you pretty

189
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 7: up on all this stuff? Because I'm listening to the

190
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 7: radio good eight hours a day, if not longer, and

191
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 7: I didn't hear anything. By heard was how the EU

192
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 7: is being forced into helping out a little bit, but

193
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 7: it's not enough.

194
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: So you think, what do you think we ought to

195
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: do here? Sonny? Do you think we ought to send

196
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: American soldiers over to Ukraine to fight Russia.

197
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 7: I would think that you might be able to get

198
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 7: some volunteers to do that. Yeah, I volunteers.

199
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 3: Here's the problem I've got with that, Sonny. It's not

200
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 3: our fight. This is not our fight. I think we've

201
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: got to let you know, first of all, Ukraine is

202
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: not an ally They're not a part of NATO, and

203
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: if NATO's concerned about it, well they can handle it.

204
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 3: But I still to this day, I do not understand

205
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: why we need to be involved in this war between

206
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 3: Ukraine and Russia. Sonny, I got to run. Good call,

207
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 3: Happy New Year to you. Let's go to Salem, Oregon. Cathy,

208
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: listening to us on k Y kN Hi Canthy, what's

209
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 3: going on?

210
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 8: Good morning? Do you think that you were talking about

211
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 8: nobody's been arrested or charged or anything. He thinks can

212
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 8: have something to do with the fact that the Senate

213
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 8: is not letting the president appoint any judges that might

214
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 8: be on the side of Wall.

215
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 3: Well, it could be, Kathy. You know, there's an interesting

216
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: story out of your neighborhood, by the way, your town,

217
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: and it's going viral on social media. There's a guy

218
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: that was convicted of murdering a teenage girl in nineteen

219
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 3: ninety four, got a life sentence for that crime. Is

220
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: a pretty heinous crime, murdered a teen girl. Your Democrat

221
00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: governor commuted his sentence, and now he's been This guy

222
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: has been placed on the police review board in Salem, Oregon. Cathy,

223
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: this is insanity. To your point, and this is why

224
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: we need those kinds of judges, and we need these

225
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: kinds of elected leaders that are going to be tough

226
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: on crime.

227
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 8: I thought that President Trump went to the Supreme Court

228
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 8: and said, can you make these judges follow the law?

229
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 8: And I thought that they the Supreme Court told them

230
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 8: to knock it off.

231
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: Well, there is a there's a process, you know. Congress

232
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: can go in. They can impeach these federal judges if

233
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: they if they you know, if they violated their oath

234
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: of office. They can certainly do that. But I'm just

235
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: this Congress has been really it makes them very queasy

236
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 3: to do the right thing in many cases. And you

237
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: know we've I get blowback when I call them the

238
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: do nothing Congress, but they really aren't the do nothing Congress.

239
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 7: Right.

240
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 8: Well, let's hope first some better judges than twenty.

241
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: Six and most definitely and canthy appreciate you calling in,

242
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: and let's hope the folks there in Salem, Moregon. I

243
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: can't believe the story the guy they voted five to

244
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: four to put a convicted murderer on the police review board.

245
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: He was freed after his life sentence was commuted by

246
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: a Democrat governor Governor Kate Brown. The guy's name is

247
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: Kyle Headquist. This is insanity, ladies and gentlemen. Oh sorry, Kathy,

248
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: didn't realize you were still on What were you saying? Oh?

249
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say yeah.

250
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 8: But the Conservatives and even Democrats by the petition this

251
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 8: past month and we handed in three times as we

252
00:15:52,920 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 8: actually needed to keep them from taxing us again. Did

253
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 8: you hear about it?

254
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 9: Uh?

255
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Did not hear about that, Canthy. We'll look into it,

256
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: but I got to run. Thank you for that, Kanthy

00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero two six. Who does that?

260
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 10: Who?

261
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: Actually? Who in their right mind would appoint a convicted

262
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: killer to a community police review board? Who does that?

263
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: And this board reviews complaints about police conduct and then

264
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 3: they provide recommendations to the to the police chief. The

265

267
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 10: Said.

268
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: To think that we're providing education on kind of how

269
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: we do what we do to someone with that criminal history,

270
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem very well. No, it doesn't seem smart

271
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 3: at all, unbelievable, but again, this is what happens when

272
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 3: you elect Democrats. What can I tell you? All Right?

273

Speaker 3: over Mobile Festival. And at the stroke of midnight they're

330

339
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: Happy to have you with us today on this New

340
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: Year's Eve. I want to go right away to our

341
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 3: Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. Say hello to a great talk

342
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 3: radio host. His name is John Justice and he is

343
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 3: the number one talk radio host in Minneapolis twin Cities

344
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: News Talk. John. Hope you're doing well today. Happy New

345
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 3: Year to.

346
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 11: You, Minnesota. Thank you so much for having me on here.

347
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 11: In Minnesota, we enjoy fraud pie, so unlike the moonpie,

348
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 11: we have fraud pie here that we'll be enjoying this

349
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 11: evening as we head into the new year.

350
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 3: Hey, look, however you celebrate, we don't judge here on

351
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 3: the show, my friend, absolutely nothing to talk about in

352
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: the new years in Minneapolis, John, I've never seen such

353
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: a dull news cycle in your state.

354
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 11: I take this vacation that I'm on right now. Every

355
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 11: single year I have throughout the decades of my radio career,

356
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 11: I have never seen this level of news coverage. Ever

357
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 11: during this time of year. It's been absolutely insane, to

358
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 11: the point where I feel like I haven't even been

359
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 11: on vacation. But again, please to join you to talk

360
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 11: about what's been happening here in Minnesota.

361
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's fascinating when you watch the coverage over

362
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: the past Well, I don't have forty eight seventy two

363
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: hours now, Nick Shirley, the twenty three year old independent

364
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: journalists going out there and discovering what he's saying is

365
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: about one hundred and ten million dollars in fraud. But

366
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: the reality here, John is, and I didn't realize this,

367
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 3: but you've got people there that have been investigating this

368
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: for a number of years now.

369
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, this has been going on for This has

370
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 11: been going on for as you mentioned, for years here

371
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 11: in Minnesota, the revelations from Nick Shirley and what he

372
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 11: did with the video, and I applaud him for his efforts,

373
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 11: and you know, here in Minnesota, we are incredibly thankful

374
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 11: that this is getting the coverage that it's getting outside

375
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 11: the state. But honestly, it's nothing new. We've had on

376
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 11: the ground reporters here that have gone to these outlets

377
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 11: in the same way that Nick Shirley has, and we've

378
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 11: been stuck in this vicious cycle where you have potential

379
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 11: fraud red flags, these centers are investigated, it ends up

380
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 11: hitting the media late. They're usually kind of late to

381
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 11: go and cover it. You'll have a Democrat or Governor

382
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 11: Kim Walls, if it is worthy enough, if there's enough outrage,

383
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 11: come out and say we're going to do something about it,

384
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 11: and they'll make some statement, and then it disappears and

385
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 11: nothing gets done. And we've been in this vicious cycle

386
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 11: now for the past five six years. Hopefully that ends

387
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 11: now with the amount of coverage and the spotlight that's

388
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 11: on Minnesota on what's actually been going on for.

389
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 4: Quite a long time.

390
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: Is it true because We've heard the reports that there

391
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 3: have been some communities that have not been able to

392
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 3: get much needed resources because there was no money because

393
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 3: of all this fraud that's been going on.

394
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 11: Well, it's been really difficult to keep track of who

395
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 11: actually is getting assistants and who needs assistance because of

396
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 11: just how convoluted a mess all of this has become

397
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 11: within our social service programs. Let me back up a bit.

398
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 11: I'm convinced at this point that once these investigations, and

399
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 11: hopefully they're thorough, are done, we're going to find out

400
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 11: that a lot of these programs that have been discovered

401
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 11: to be fraudulent weren't even necessary to begin with. They

402
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 11: were designed to create this type of redistribution of wealth

403
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 11: and fraud taking place. And so yeah, there are certain

404
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 11: segments of our population that are suffering from a lack

405
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 11: of services, and yet you have, in the instance of

406
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 11: daycare centers, these abundance of daycare centers and aren't even

407
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 11: serving children. It's been wild to watch, and I think

408
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 11: it's hard for a lot of people outside of Minnesota

409
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 11: to Charlie Court sort of get a grasp on what

410
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 11: actually has been transpiring under Democrat leadership here.

411
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 3: So It's very similar, I think in a way to

412
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: what was happening in Memphis, Tennessee, which is my hometown,

413
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: one of the deadliest cities in America, and people just

414
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: could not comprehend the level of crime and violence here

415
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: until Trump, you know, sent in the National Guard, and

416
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: now crime is now at a twenty five year low

417
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: thanks to the efforts of the National Guard. And I'm

418
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: wondering if we could see something very similar to that

419
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis. Well, I know that ICE has been boots

420
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: on the ground doing some of these raids, but it

421
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 3: seems to me they've got a massive job ahead of them.

422
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 11: Well, this is what I'm hoping happens. But I'm a

423
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 11: I'm a states right, freedom and liberty kind of guy.

424
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 11: But unfortunately, with what we've seen happen here in Minnesota,

425
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 11: we need this assistance, We need this intrusion from the

426
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 11: Trump administration and the federal government to come in here

427
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 11: to uproot what has been taking place. And again, I

428
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 11: don't like the idea of having to have the federal

429
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 11: government get this heavily involved, but at this point it

430
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 11: almost demands it if we're going to see any sort

431
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 11: of accountability. Much in the same way that you've seen

432
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 11: these consent decrees during you know, Democrat years in the

433
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 11: White House, where you had the DOJ taking over the

434
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 11: police departments or putting forward guidelines like they did here

435
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 11: in Minnesota. We need something very similar relating to fraud

436
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 11: now here in the state, just like we saw when

437
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 11: it comes to law enforcement and use of force efforts we.

438
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 3: Were we had the Republican was a Speaker of the

439
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: House on my Newsmax TV show a few days ago,

440
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: and are you confident that the Republicans you have there

441
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 3: in the state are going to be fighters? And they're

442
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 3: going to be I mean, because you're going they're going

443
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: to have to use blow They're going to have to

444
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: use megaphones to get the messaging out here.

445
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 11: Well, now, listen, I am. I think that Republicans in

446
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 11: the state, they catch a lot of heat, and a

447
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 11: lot of it's on warranted. They Republicans have attempted over

448
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 11: the course of the past several years to implement safeguards

449
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 11: over and over again. And the Democrats had all the

450
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 11: power they had to the trifecta in twenty three and

451
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 11: twenty four, and they ignored all the warnings from Republicans,

452
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 11: all the efforts to put in safeguards for fraud because

453
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 11: we knew it was happening. And even in the wake

454
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 11: of last year's election, wherein the Democrats had a slight

455
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 11: majority in the Senate by one or two votes, but

456
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 11: it was a completely divided house in the legislature, again

457
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 11: Republicans attempted to put in safeguards and they were constantly

458
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 11: voted against by Democrats. Republicans have been speaking out, they

459
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 11: often do not get any sort of amplification from local

460
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 11: media outlets. That is all changing right now. So the

461
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 11: big question for me heading into next year is are

462
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 11: we finally going to have those voices amplified. And I

463
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 11: do trust because they've been putting forth the effort of

464
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 11: Republicans to continue to move forward to get something done

465
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 11: about this at the local level.

466
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 3: Well, John Justice joining us on our Patriot of old

467
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: Newsmaker line today from Twin Cities News Talk. You know, John,

468
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm curious what your listeners have been saying. I know

469
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: you're on vacation, but the radio station, you guys must

470
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 3: be inundated with lots of callers.

471
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, listen, people are outraged, they're frustrated. I mean, I'm frustrated.

472
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 11: These are you know, you hear them the dollar amount

473
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 11: coming from the video of Nick Shirley. When you back

474
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 11: up and you look at the totality, I mean, it

475
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 11: is in the billions of dollars. There are some estimates

476
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 11: that the amount of fraud that has occurred here in

477
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 11: Minnesota is actually going to be more than the actual

478
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 11: GDP of Somonia. You know, considering the fact that ninety

479
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 11: percent brought has been perpetuated by the Somala community. We're

480
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 11: talking eight, nine, ten, eleven billion dollars. And as a

481
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 11: taxpayer who had taxes going up in this state, it's

482
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 11: it's frustrating. I echo the sentiments of my listeners that

483
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 11: I hear every single day. We are outraged and accountability

484
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 11: has to happen. You mentioned it, you know before the segment.

485
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 11: We have to go and get something done about it.

486
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: It was even Eric Trump was tweeting about this last night.

487
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: He said, arrest have to be made in Minneapolis that

488
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 3: they've gone to.

489
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 11: Well, here's and this is the frustrating part, because the

490
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 11: justice system moves slow. And I know that's hard. It's

491
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 11: hard for people to sort of wrap their head around,

492
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 11: you know, the amount of time and be the manpower

493
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 11: necessary to put forward the cases to go and try individuals.

494
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 11: You're right, but that being said, everybody's going to need

495
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 11: to just be patient to let this this play out.

496
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 11: And going back to what we were saying a moment ago,

497
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 11: given the fact that so much of this is getting

498
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 11: this level of coverage during what is usually the slowest

499
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 11: news time of the year. When Monday hits next week,

500
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 11: I mean, you think that it's loud now, I think

501
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 11: the floodgates are going to open even more so when

502
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 11: when do we get fully into the new year?

503
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: This is this is shocking. I'm reading this News Nation

504
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: piece earlier today and it's not just the daycare centers,

505
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 3: it's assisted living facilities as well. And they're saying one guy,

506
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 3: Gandhi Mohammed was indicted for laundering a million dollars. In

507
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: one particular case, his LLC owns homes across Minneapolis last year.

508
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: Those homes brought in what two point three million dollars

509
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: from the state. It's just every single day, it's like

510
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 3: the it's almost like, you know, when you talk about

511
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: the invasion of our country, you think about the illegals

512
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: coming across the border, you don't think about what happened

513
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 3: with all the intentional relocation of immigrants. You know, two

514
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: places like Minneapolis for example.

515
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 11: Well, you know, the situation regarding illegal immigration is very

516
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 11: similar to what we're dealing with now. You know, Compassion

517
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 11: is not allowing people to pour over our southern border

518
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 11: or northern border into the country. Compassion is taking away

519
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 11: the ability of people to go and make that you know,

520
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 11: unlawful choice. It's border security. And the Democrats, you know,

521
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 11: the Biden administration allowed those individuals to come into the

522
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 11: country illegally, and we've been dealing with the ramifications of

523
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 11: that now. And now we see something very similar when

524
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 11: it comes to what's happened with fraud. These programs that

525
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 11: have turned out to be fraudulent, and I'm convinced that

526
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 11: the majority of the social service programs that they're funded

527
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 11: by medicaidor taxpayer dollars.

528
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 7: I would be.

529
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 11: Hard pressed to find a program that probably isn't riddle

530
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 11: with broad air in Minnesota. But all these programs were

531
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 11: designed for low barriers of entry. You had Democrats in

532
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 11: the legislature two weeks ago during a fraud committee hearing

533
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 11: who said that the state was taking a trust, but

534
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 11: don't verify approach to the individual that we're opening up

535
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 11: these autism centers and daycare centers because they didn't have

536
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 11: the man power to investigate. Those are the excuses that

537
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 11: we are getting as to why nothing has been done

538
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 11: about this.

539
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: And again at Bears repeating your governor, we call him

540
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: tampon tim on this program. He's still adamant of the

541
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: majority of crime committed to your states committed by the

542
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: white man. That's the bigger problem in Minnesota. The white guy.

543
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 11: Yeah, no walls is an absolute for food.

544
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 8: Listen.

545
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 11: He's a true believer in the Democrats when they had

546
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 11: the trospective for those years that I mentioned. You can't

547
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 11: go all in on redistribution policies. It's not going to

548
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 11: be accepted by the public right as far left Marxist ideologies,

549
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 11: and so instead they kinker around the edges. I'm convinced

550
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 11: this is all just a redistribution of wealth. It's designed

551
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 11: to be just that it's unsustainable, and we're learning about

552
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,239
Speaker 11: that now. But they allowed this to happen, and they

553
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 11: turned the blind eye because they desperately want that voting

554
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 11: block every single election cycle. And so now you see

555
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 11: Republicans pushing back on the individuals perpetuating the fraud and

556
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 11: the lets goes in Christ racism, when the truth of

557
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 11: the matter is, it's the less in the democrats fault.

558
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 11: They allowed this to happen. They took advantage of this

559
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 11: community and allowed them to go to go and perpetuate

560
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 11: this level of fraud.

561
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 3: All right, John, We're gonna leave it there, and amen,

562
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: I really appreciate it. I mean, I didn't realize you're

563
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: on vacation. We would have we could have set something

564
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: up for next week, but we appreciate you taking some time.

565
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 3: Come on, by the way, John, we aren't thinking of that.

566
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 3: We're in the early stages of this, but you know,

567
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: ebody else is doing it, so we aren't thinking about

568
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: launching our own Somalian daycare center, working working name we

569
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: little warlords. So if you want in, just let it.

586
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: talked a few moments ago about the moonpie drop in Amobile, Alabama.

587
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: Someone weighed in on our YouTube live stream and by

588
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: the way, we do stream the show live. You can

589
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 3: watch us on YouTube or rumble and we we monitor

590
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 3: and I love to engage with folks in the in

591
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 3: the live chat. And someone brought up a very interesting

592
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: point about New York City. So they're already allowing people

593
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 3: to get to their spot in Times Square, but you

594
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: can't leave. So once you get your spot, you're there

595
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: until the ball drops. That that's it. And so a

596
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: lot of people you can't go to get water, you

597
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: can't get anything to eat, You got to bring it

598
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 3: all with you, and you're not allowed to go to

599
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: the bathroom, so there are no bathrooms available to you.

600
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 3: So someone pointed out in the live stream, which is accurate,

601
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 3: people wear diapers and that's what they do. So they

602
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 3: literally go to the they go to the bathroom and

603
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 3: their pants a little poopy pants. And I will just

604
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 3: tell you from personal experience. Now, we didn't have to

605
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 3: do that as journalists because we had you know, press passes,

606
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: so we could just go back and forth. Fox News

607
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 3: headquarters is just a block off Times Square, so we

608
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: were able to do you know, do that. But the

609
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 3: right around ten thirty or eleven, there's a unique odor

610
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 3: that permeates Times Square. I'm just going to leave it.

611
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 3: Leave it at that. It's it's not a very pleasant odor,

612
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: and you don't want to beat downwind. The problem with

613
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: our Fox News location, which is Athey Olive Garden, is

614
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: that you were you were getting that smell coming and going.

615
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 3: It was it was not a it was not a

616
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 3: fragrant odor. I'll just say that. By the way, speaking

617
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: of New Year's Eve, there are lots of other things

618
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: that actually drop around the nation. You know, many towns,

619
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 3: many cities have their own have their own celebrations. I

620
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: know in Georgia they used to drop a peach. Do

621
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 3: they still drop the peach there in downtown Atlanta? And

622
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 3: of course in what is it, North Carolina, I believe

623
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 3: it was bald Doab. For years they would drop a

624
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: possum at the stroke of midnight, and the possum was No,

625
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 3: they didn't literally drop the possum. The possum was in

626
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 3: like a glass case, plexiglass case, and so once midnight,

627
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 3: you know, you hit midnight, and then the possum is

628
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 3: humanely lowered to the ground and the people celebrate. It's

629
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 3: like a high flute, and I mean, that's a really

630
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 3: fun event. But apparently PETA got involved and they said

631
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 3: it was inhumane, and the people in charge of the

632
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 3: annual possum drop trying to explain to Peta that actually,

633
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 3: this was the safest place for the possum to be

634
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,720
Speaker 3: because historically, once they you know, once the plexiglass box

635
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 3: hits the ground, they open it and the possum scurries

636
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 3: across the road and immediately gets, you know, hit by

637
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: a pickup truck. So it seems to me that if

638
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 3: you're you know, I mean, if you're peta, you would

639
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: rather than be in the polsiglass case as opposed to

640
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 3: being roadkill on the you know, on the highway. But

641
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 3: that's just me. But that's just me. So anyway, I'm

642
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 3: curious if you guys are dropping anything in your local communities.

643
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: I know that, for example, in North Carolina, mount Olive,

644
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 3: you guys drop a giant pickle over at the mount

645
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 3: Olive Pickle Company. That sounds like a lot of fun,

646
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: kosher too. All right, hanging tide, everybody gotta take a break.

647
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

648
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Sterns Show on New Year's.

649
00:38:41,640 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 2: Eave, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

650
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: It's America's conservative blowtorch.

651
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 4: That says.

652
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: American Todd starts Wenday. Oh, Happy New Year's Eve. Everybody,

Speaker 3: You can call in talk about whatever is on your

Speaker 3: mind today. Also, we want to know about your local

661
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: New Year's Eve celebrations. We've told you about the possum drop.

662
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: We've also told you about the great moonpie drop in Mobile, Alabama.

663
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: Just got a note from our good buddy Noah down

664
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: in Pasca Google, Mississippi, at our great affiliate there, and

665
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: he said, Todd, in Pascagoula, they do an anchor drop

666
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: off the top of the tallest building in town, which

667
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: is only about one hundred and fifty feet tall, but

668
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 3: still that's pretty tall. So you don't want to be

669
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: under the anchor when it falls, I guess. Also in

670
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 3: Bay Saint Louis they do a giant oyster drop. And

671
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: in Pensacola, he says, they used to do a giant

672
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,800
Speaker 3: two hundred foot pelican drop. What is a pelican? You

673
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 3: don't want to be under repelican droppings something. You don't

674
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: want to do that. But anyway, they stop doing that

675
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 3: because of COVID. You know, the pelicans, all the birds

676
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 3: they always hit my cadle like I don't know what

677
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 3: it is with that anyway, great to have you with us.

678
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

679
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 3: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

680
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: five nine two six. Well, I want to go to

681
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. And there are a lot

682
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 3: of great organizations that are rising up accosternation to fight

683
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: the mass migration of people invading our nation, also fighting

684
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: for their state's heritage, and that's exactly what our next

685
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 3: guest is all about. Nathan Roberts, who's the co founder

686
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: of Save Heritage Indiana. And Nathan, good to have you

687
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: with us today.

688
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.

689
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 12: Happy New Years.

690
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 3: Well, happy New Year.

691
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 4: Now.

692
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 3: I know that you're in the Indianapolis area. Do you

693
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 3: guys have like a big celebration there in Indianapolis.

694
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 13: I don't think so. You know, I don't really build

695
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 13: it downtown Indianapolis very much because it's still as like

696
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 13: helpless in Crime right now. There's like a Christmas celebration,

697
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 13: but I don't know if there's a New Year's thing.

698
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 13: But I will say Indiana football, Indiana University, they're playing

699
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 13: Alabama at the Rose Bull tomorrow, so everybody's going to

700
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 13: be watching that.

701
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 3: I think you guys have sort of become the Cinderella team.

702
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a great football program, but I think

703
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people are really rooting for the for

704
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 3: the Hoosiers.

705
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 13: I think so too, because it's not really a great

706
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 13: football program at all. Actually, it's historically the worst program.

707
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 13: They have the most loss of any team ever in

708
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 13: college football. They don't want anything in my entire lifetime.

709
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 13: And now they have a bunch of like three star

710
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 13: recruits and they're favored by seven points against Alabama.

711
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 3: And a he Trophy winner.

712
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 13: Yeah, I trupy winning. People say it's like the greatest

713
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 13: turnaround in sports history. That just took two years. So

714
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 13: I don't know if coach Signetti their head coach, has

715
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 13: given the players steroids or what the secret sauce is,

716
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 13: but it's pretty incredible.

717
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't ask, don't tell there, Nathan, Just let it go,

718
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 3: Let it go, Just enjoy the moment. Let's let's talk

719
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 3: about what you guys are up to over at Save

720
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: Heritage Indiana. You say on your website our home is

721
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 3: being invaded. That ends today. How bad is it there

722
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 3: in Indiana?

723
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 13: Well, it's really bad. Indiana has had the largest foreign

724
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 13: born increase between the years of twenty twenty one to

725
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 13: twenty twenty five, the foreign born percent in Indiana has

726
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 13: increased by fifty percent, which is the highest of any

727
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 13: state in the country. So a lot of states have

728
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 13: had this problem, especially when Biden took office, but Indiana

729
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 13: is number one in that regard. And that is despite

730
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 13: Indiana voting for Trump three times, having Republicans US senators,

731
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 13: US House members, it's super majority in the Republican State

732
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 13: House and State Senate. But despite that, we've had the

733
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 13: largest born born increase. Which obviously there's never there's never

734
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 13: been a discussion on it. It's never been a political topic.

735
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 13: It's happened totally behind the scenes.

736
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 3: What is it that compelled you to jump into the

737
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 3: political fray?

738
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 13: Well, so I was talking to my friend and well,

739
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 13: he actually wasn't my friend at the time. He was

740
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 13: just somebody I met on Twitter and he had ran

741
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 13: a previous nonprofit group. But we really realized the time

742
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 13: to do this is right now. In Indiana. There's groups

743
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 13: that deal with every single issue. At the state House.

744
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 13: You have pro abortion, anti abortion dogs, cats, healthcare lobbyists,

745
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 13: pro gun, anti gun educator, but there's nothing on immigration.

746
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 13: Despite immigrations being always the first or second issue that

747
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 13: matters the most to voters, and Republican voters especially, and

748
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 13: all it takes is one Democratic president to get back

749
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 13: into the White House, which probably will happen at some point,

750
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 13: and then they just open the borders again and don't

751
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 13: enforce the laws, and then states are totally helpless to

752
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 13: that unless they have strong laws at their own level

753
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 13: to protect against that. So that's what they've heard it

754
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 13: Indiana's trying to do. It's pretty unique, I think, because

755
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 13: a lot of people when they're focused on immigration only

756
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 13: do like federal stuff, but states have tons of power

757
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 13: to protect themselves from the legal immigration as well.

758
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: You guys have this terrific quote on your website from

759
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 3: Teddy Roosevelt, and Roosevelt was a ferocious patriot. He says,

760
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: we have room for but one flag, the American flag.

761
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 3: We have room for but one language here, that is

762
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 3: the English language. And we have room for but one

763
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people.

764
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 3: And yet, Nathan, I don't know if you've noticed, well,

765
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: I guess you have noticed this, this new batch of

766
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: migrants we're getting and the refugees. They don't want to

767
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 3: embrace the American way of life. They want to bring

768
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,319
Speaker 3: what they fled and they want to implement it here

769
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 3: on American soil.

770
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 7: Absolutely.

771
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 13: I think the best test if you're a clinical assimilated

772
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 13: American is do you consider yourself to be one hundred

773
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 13: percent Americans, have no foreign allegiances, no foreign sort of loyalties,

774
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 13: or do you consider yourself the one hundred percent of

775
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 13: the people, No doubt about it. There are some immigrants

776
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 13: many I have met who's part of our organizations, that say,

777
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 13: I consider myself the one hundred percent American and I

778
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 13: love what you guys are doing. There's a lot of

779
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 13: these immigrants that come here and they still want to

780
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 13: just be They want to have their little enslave of

781
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 13: the country that they left. Who are the ones that

782
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 13: really do not like what we're doing because we're calling

783
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 13: out that sort of behavior. It's bad for everything. You

784
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 13: don't want your to raise your children in an area

785
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 13: where people have so many different sort of belief systems

786
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 13: and they don't even agree on the basics of what

787
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 13: America is, what the constitution is, what politics are. That's

788
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 13: that's why people love to blame sort of politicians like

789
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 13: Ilhan Omar and AOC and Zora Mamdani on all these

790
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 13: random issues. But it really is I think seventy percent

791
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 13: of the people that voted for Zora Mamdani in New

792
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 13: York were either foreign born themselves or had somebody in

793
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 13: their family who's born or in someone in their household

794
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 13: who's forn born. And it's like, how do you expect

795
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 13: those people to understand arguments against Zaara mam Donni when

796
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 13: we're talking about like the First Amendment or the Second Amendment,

797
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 13: or Christianity or things like that. They didn't grow up

798
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 13: in that sort of environment, so of course they're going

799
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 13: to vote for people like Zara Mamdani.

800
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 3: You know, I think about even my own family, my

801
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 3: mom's side of the family. They came from They fled

802
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 3: Germany during World War One and came to America, and

803
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 3: my grandfather was a small child. He went on to

804
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 3: serve in the military and World War Two. And you know,

805
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: our family history is we fled from a different land,

806
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 3: a foreign land. We came here, we learned the language,

807
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 3: you know, we adapted to the culture, and you know,

808
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: we certainly celebrate, you know, those the heritage, but again

809
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 3: when they came here. My great grandparents were Americans, and

810
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 3: I don't think that, you know, our we have no

811
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: assimilation anymore, and that's that's one of the biggest problem

812
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 3: us I see in the country right now.

813
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 13: Absolutely, if anything, I would say there's kind of a

814
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 13: reverse assimilation that's going on. A lot of people who

815
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 13: who've been in the country for fifty years, their grandkids

816
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 13: are much less patriotics than the first generation immigrants that

817
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 13: came themselves. There's a famous sort of statistic which said

818
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 13: that in the UK, which is obviously slightly different, but

819
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 13: it's similar to America. In the UK, there was more

820
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 13: Muslims there that joined ISIS in the twenty tens and

821
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 13: joined the British military. It's much harder to join ISIS

822
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 13: in the military, but you had radical emoms, radical Muslim

823
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 13: emoms in Britain that were preaching hate against that country,

824
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 13: and then a lot of their kids and grandkids in

825
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 13: them joining ISIS more so than the British military. So

826
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 13: it's not at all a guarantee that just because somebody's

827
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 13: here for a long period of time they will assimilate.

828
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 13: You have to have a culture that says no, it's

829
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 13: not a choice. You have to assimilate. And I'm not

830
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 13: anti immigration. I'm not anti immigrants. There's tons of immigrants

831
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 13: that come here I'm sure are perfectly good. But you

832
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 13: can't just bank that they'll bank on them assimilating over time.

833
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: You have to enforce it, all right, Nathan Roberts with

834
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 3: us on the website, folks, and I want you to

835
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,919
Speaker 3: check this out Save Heritage Indiana dot org. That Save

836
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,479
Speaker 3: Heritage Indiana dot org, and you'll be able to find

837
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 3: all sorts of great information about the work there. What

838
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: is the most pressing thing that you guys are doing.

839
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 3: What is the first step, the first thing you guys

840
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 3: want to accomplish there in Indiana.

841
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 13: Well, right now, there's two competing immigration bills that are

842
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 13: going through the Statehouse in twenty twenty six. Basically both

843
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 13: will do some version of e verify, which basically mandates

844
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 13: that employers have to know who they're hiring and make

845
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 13: sure they're here. I llegally that's extremely important because as

846
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,760
Speaker 13: much as I mean, I would tend times increase ICE funding,

847
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 13: but you're not just going to build to deport everybody

848
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 13: with ICE. That's so much work, that's tons of money.

849
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 13: If you're required to do that. So the best way

850
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 13: to tackle this problem is basically to find out what

851
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 13: the economic leaders that are bringing them into our country are.

852
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 13: So everify is super important. We're supporting bills that will

853
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 13: not recognize the illegal immigrant and driver's license from other states,

854
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 13: because there's about twenty states that do give driver's license

855
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 13: to illegal immigrants just California and New York. There's some

856
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 13: states like Florida, Tennessee, and Wyoming that have said we're

857
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 13: not recognizing illegal immigrant driver's license. That's super important. Right now,

858
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 13: in Indiana, you can take the driver's test in certateen languages,

859
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 13: which I think is ridiculous because there's no language on

860
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 13: any road signs designed English. And also we support a

861
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 13: remittance pact because a lot of these immigrants they undercut

862
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 13: wages and then they just send all the money back home.

863
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 13: So I don't really see what we're getting out of that,

864
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 13: not at all.

865
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 3: It's yeah, this is there's so much that and we're

866
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: going to get you back on the show. This is

867
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 3: such an important issue for all of us who love

868
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 3: our country, and folks, i'd encourage you to go and

869
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 3: check out Save Heritage Indiana dot org. Nathan, We're going

870
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 3: to have to leave it there. I hope you and

871
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: your family have a happy New Year.

872
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 7: Thank you sir.

873
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 12: Happy New Year.

874
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 3: All right. There you go. Just just a terrific organization

875
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 3: out of the Heartland. And again you would not think

876
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 3: that Indiana would have such a big problem with this,

877
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 3: but they do. And it's exciting to see people mobilizing.

878
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: This group Save Heritage Indiana. I suspect is going to

879
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 3: grow pretty quickly. They've already got over seven thousand folks

880
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 3: there in the Hoosier State that are that are signing

881
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: on for their programs. All right, we're going to take

882
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: you know, before we go to the break, I want

883
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 3: to work in a call here. Let's go to San Francisco.

884
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 3: Lisa is on the line. Lisa, Happy New Year's Eve

885
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 3: to you.

886
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 14: Happy New Year's Eve to you too.

887
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: What's on your mind?

888
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 14: Well, I wanted to originally give more of an internationalist

889
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 14: perspective about New Years and what that means for people

890
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 14: around the world.

891
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 9: And I was listening.

892
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 14: What I like to do sometimes on New Year's Eve

893
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 14: is listening listen online to different radio stations around the

894
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 14: country to hear whatever people are listening to and I've

895
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 14: got to tell you, man, I'm feeling very, very discouraged

896
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 14: by this very clear anti immigrant attitude of the last

897
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 14: caller you had. I understand that everybody has the right

898
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 14: to have their opinions, and I respect that, but I'm

899
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 14: going to just give a very quick, very quick international

900
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 14: perspect Well no, no, no.

901
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 3: No, Well, I'm more interested in the American perspective, Lisa,

902
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 3: and I just want to ask you what exactly is

903
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 3: anti immigrant about what our previous guest said.

904
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 14: Well, first of all, you're not taking the consideration the

905
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 14: fact that during the most most of the last one

906
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 14: hundred years, America, or the United States more appropriately, because

907
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 14: America is actually a continent, has been involved in pursuing

908
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 14: its interests, not the American people's interests, but the interest

909
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 14: of global the interest basically a big business, you know,

910
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 14: like the oil companies and things like that, by invading

911
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 14: many of these different countries or inflicting dictatorships like the

912
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 14: like the United States CIA inflicted the dictatorship against Chile

913
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 14: in nineteen seventy three.

914
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 3: Okay, but what but he didn't have anything, He didn't

915
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,760
Speaker 3: say anything about that. So I'm just wondering you said

916
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 3: the previous guest said things that were anti immigrant, and

917
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm wondering what specifically is anti immigrant about what he said.

918
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 14: Well, he's implying that people come here and they don't

919
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 14: follow the laws or the rules, or that they don't

920
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 14: want to, you know, assimilate into the American way.

921
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 3: Well they don't. We've got the evidence. People are. People

922
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 3: are marching in the streets with Palestinian flags, Somalian flags,

923
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: Mexican flags, and I'm one.

924
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 14: Of them because in fact, the United States has been

925
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 14: funding genocide for the last two years, and also the

926
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 14: United States has been supporting and talking about it.

927
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 3: What genocide? WHOA what genocide have we been supporting? It

928
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,959
Speaker 3: seems what genocide that.

929
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 14: People have been supporting the genocide against.

930
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 3: So you said, you made a pretty heinous accusation there

931
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 3: what genocide?

932
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,359
Speaker 14: There's a genocide happening right now in Gaza where two

933
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 14: million people are being forcibly starved and have been.

934
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 3: Bombed to the past two Yes, and you know who's

935
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 3: responsible with that, Not the United States, not Israel, but

936
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 3: Hamas the terrorists.

937
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 14: In October seventh, We've been no.

938
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 3: It certainly did start people.

939
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 14: That will completely white work that we're completely ethically in

940
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 14: nineteen forty eight, and the United States has.

941
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 3: Been supporting You want to talk about ethnic cleansing, let's

942
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 3: talk about that. Let's talk about what happened to the

943
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 3: Jews during World War Two. All right, we got we

944
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 3: gotta run here, Lisa. I'll have more to say about

945
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 3: this after the break. We'll be right back, all right.

946
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: I wish we had more time with Lisa, who, by

947
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 3: the way, as a seminar caller. So some of these

948
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 3: leftist groups they get folks to call in, and look,

949
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 3: she was going after Nathan Roberts or something. He did

950
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: not say. Just because we want people to come into

951
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 3: this country legally and assimilate once they get here does

952
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 3: not make you anti immigrant. It doesn't make you xenophobic.

953
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 3: She was trying to throw all these accusations at us.

954
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 3: And when you're gonna call in and you're going to

955
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 3: take me to task for something, and I welcome those calls,

956
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 3: but you have to come armed with the facts. You

957
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 3: just can't spew the talking points of these left wing groups,

958
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 3: and you can't expect me not to respond to those things.

959
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 3: So anyway, maybe Lisa will do her homework next time

960
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 3: and give us a call back and she'll be able

961
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,799
Speaker 3: to make her point. But I don't think she's got

962
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 3: a point to make. That's ultimately the You. All right,

963
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 3: let's go to Tom in Georgia. Wdun Tom, what's on

964
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 3: your mind?

965
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 7: Hey?

966
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,360
Speaker 15: Happy New Year, Todd, to you, your staff and everybody listening.

967
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 3: Thank you.

968
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 15: So we my wife and I a few years ago

969
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 15: we conquered the New Year's Eve blues because we ain't

970
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 15: young enough to put up with ABC. We don't like

971
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:22,759
Speaker 15: to meet, you know, we used to watch that rock

972
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 15: and Christmas Eve, but not no more. So what we do?

973
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 15: And then I want to talk about Mobile real quick.

974
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 15: We watched comedy We started with Tim Hawkins a couple

975
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 15: of years ago, and we we've had to be careful

976
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 15: with our oridors leading up to midnight when we swallered,

977
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 15: because because if we did it, if we swallowed at

978
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 15: the wrong time, it didn't end up going down the throat,

979
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 15: it ended up going out in the air somewhere.

980
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 12: So we do that.

981
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 15: And last last year we watched them Old Dean Martin

982
00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 15: Celebrity Roast.

983
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, still four.

984
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 15: Thirty am Wow done. That's if we dated Now Mobile Todd.

985
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 3: Tom, Hang tight, Tom, hangtime all right, computer is going

986
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 3: to cut us off, but I want you to finish

00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 3: your thought, so don't hang up. Let's put tomball to hold. Folks,

988

Speaker 3: All right. Happy New Year's Eve to you America. Real quick.

990
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 3: Before we get to Lise Peak, I want to finish,

991
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 3: finish up our conversation with Tom and Georgia. So, Tom,

992
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 3: you were telling us about the big moon Pie drop

993
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 3: in Mobile, Alabama.

994
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 15: Yes, sir, so, in my bucket list I don't have

995
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 15: the normal bucket list. One of them is to go

996
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 15: to Mobile, have some wonderful seafood on New Year's Eve

997
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 15: and watch the moonpie come down. But here's what's missing.

998
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 15: Where is rc co Cola. They need to get into this,

999
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 15: and I want to buy them one of them. Surets

1000
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 15: it says, you know, I was at New Year's Eve

1001
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 15: two thousand or whatever, and I have me an arc

1002

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you there. There needs to be an

1005
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 3: Arcy Cola. You gotta have one nearby to wash down

1006
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 3: the moonpie. I completely agree with you, Tom. I will

1007
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 3: tell you this. You got to go down there. It's

1008
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 3: so much fun and it's a family friendly event. You're

1009
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 3: gonna love it. Happy New Year to you, and let's

1010
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 3: go to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line. Soay, hello to

1011
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 3: our good friend Liz Peak. And Liz, I am curious.

1012
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 3: Have you ever been to the mobile Alabama Moonpie Drop

1013
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 3: for New Year's Eve?

1014
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 16: I sure havepen obviously I have not lived, so you

1015
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 16: know it's sad to.

1016
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 3: Miss it, Liz, I can. I can sense that in

1017
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 3: your voice, Liz Peak? Do you guys? Do you know

1018
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people think that the crowd in Times

1019
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 3: Square for New Year's Eve is actually New Yorkers. I

1020
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 3: found that not necessarily to be the case. What say you?

1021
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 16: No, I definitely not. I think my kids tried to

1022
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 16: do it one year and it's pretty daunting.

1023
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 11: I must say.

1024
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 16: We have never gone, although I've got to tell you

1025
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 16: one year we went thow boneheaded. I got theater tickets

1026
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 16: for my husband and myself. I thought, well, this would

1027
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 16: be a sort of fun different thing to do on

1028
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 16: New Year's Eve, because I think we sort of shy

1029
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 16: away from these huge extravagant parties and whatnot. So we

1030
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 16: went to the theater and halfway through, we kept hearing

1031
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 16: all these sort of rumbling and like crowd noises. I'm thinking,

1032
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 16: what is that? Well, of course, duh. The theater district

1033
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 16: is right next to Times Square, and we happened to

1034
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,280
Speaker 16: be in a theater that was perilously close to Times Square.

1035
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 16: So when we got out, there were crowds of that

1036
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 16: horrifying thing of crowds of people sort of surging one

1037
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 16: way and then moving another way. And I'll tell you what,

1038
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 16: we just started walking west to get away from it,

1039
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 16: and we did. But huge crowds like that scare the

1040
00:59:58,320 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 16: dickens out of me.

1041
00:59:59,040 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 13: I would never go to.

1042
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 3: That, Liz. One year I got caught up. I was

1043
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 3: over on the seventh Avenue side, and you're right, those

1044
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,560
Speaker 3: crowds are so massive you have to literally go where

1045
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 3: the crowd is going. And I think I finally was

1046
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 3: able to jump out of it at like twenty third streets.

1047
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 3: So it's it's quite the.

1048
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 16: Same, creepy yeah, And you kind of think what happens

1049
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 16: is somebody gets frightened by something. I mean, that's the thing.

1050
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 16: I mean in this day and age where there's so

1051
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 16: many untoured events and shocking things that happen. Oh my gosh,

1052
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 16: I can't even imagine anyway. You know, everyone has something

1053
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 16: they want to do on New Year's Eve. We're going

1054
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 16: to spend it with our children and grandchildren and at

1055
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,400
Speaker 16: an event called the Cinderella something or other and it

1056
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 16: ends at ten pm. Oh wow, I think it's pretty terrific.

1057
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 3: Then get home and watch everything else on TV tonight.

1058
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 3: So there you go, exactly you have you have? You

1059
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: have a great new column up at Fox us dot com.

1060
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: Five unforgettable lessons we all learned in twenty twenty five,

1061
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 3: but some gret still did not. And I love that

1062
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 3: you start out with climate because just a view days

1063
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 3: ago we played Dan Rather from nineteen eighty two saying

1064
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 3: that by this time Florida would be completely underwater because

1065
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: of climate change.

1066
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 16: And I meant, Florida, guess what, we're breathing normal air.

1067
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 16: It seems perfectly fine, you know. Honestly, there, as I

1068
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 16: approached the end of the year Todd, I kept thinking, Wow,

1069
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 16: they were wrong about this, they were wrong about that.

1070
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 16: And the goodness is it isn't just people on the

1071
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 16: right saying this. Obviously, when Bill Gates, who's a longtime

1072
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 16: climate warrior, writes a sort of a piece and says,

1073
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 16: guess what, this is not going to kill humanity. We're

1074
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 16: going to manage this, and it's really more important right

1075
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 16: now to focus on people's well being. Well, yes, that's

1076
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 16: the message that many of us have been talking about

1077
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 16: for a decade, that yeah, you can basically shut down

1078
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 16: human life and emissions will go to zero. Congratulations, you've

1079
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 16: killed everybody, But hey, the climate is in great shape.

1080
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 16: What a stupid premise. And in fact, it has been

1081
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 16: variations on that theme that has propelled any number of

1082
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 16: Democrat governors and mayors to adopt policies that are just

1083
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 16: antithetical to the well being of their citizens. For example,

1084
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 16: in New York State, of course they banned fracking some

1085
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 16: time ago because that was politically acceptable, But then they

1086
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 16: also banned the importation of natural gas via pipeline. No

1087
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 16: new pipelines to be built. Well, guess what, everybody cooks

1088
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 16: the natural gas, They heat with natural gas. It is

1089
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 16: essential to the well being. So now, all of a sudden,

1090
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 16: Kathy Hokola died in the wool climate challenged person governor

1091
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 16: of New York, following in the footsteps of the ghastly

1092
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 16: Andrew Cuomo, who initiated this whole flot law on fossil

1093
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 16: fuels in New York. Sure enough she has done a

1094
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 16: one and now she is allowing a new natural gas

1095
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 16: pipeline to be built. And of course the climate zellas

1096
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 16: are up in arms. But meanwhile, you can't get a

1097
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 16: hook up in a lot of towns now in New

1098
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 16: York State. If you build a new house, you can't

1099
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 16: get natural gas brought in. So it's just plain stupid.

1100
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 16: And they've tried to push everybody to electricitic, electrical, heat,

1101
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 16: electrical everything, but guess what, the grid isn't there, the

1102
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 16: power's not there, and so it's been just unbelievably short termism.

1103
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 16: And by the way, same thing in California. All these

1104
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 16: states that adopted these absurd regulations on fossil fuels trying

1105
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:40,240
Speaker 16: to get rid of them, they're now having to rethink.

1106
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 16: And by the way, same thing's happening in Europe, where

1107
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 16: basically you've lost a decade of growth. This is a

1108
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 16: fact because of climate regulations that simply haven't mattered, haven't

1109
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 16: mooned the needle on global climate emissions, but has really

1110
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 16: really dumbed down the opportunities and well being of Europeans.

1111
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 16: I mean, it's just fine, stupid.

1112
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 8: You know.

1113
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 3: It's interesting, Liz here in Memphis where we base our show,

1114
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 3: and my home is in Memphis. Two things observations whole foods.

1115
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 3: I kind of I go shopping there, you know, I

1116
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 3: try not to catch in my conservative street cred, but

1117
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 3: they got, you know, pretty good stuff. I've noticed nobody

1118
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 3: ever parks in the in those charging stations, you know,

1119
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 3: and that's prime parking zone, and I've always thought that

1120
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 3: was odd. And then just a couple of weeks ago,

1121
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 3: they announced that Ford, which was building Blue Oval City

1122
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 3: just right outside Memphis, the largest Ford production plant for

1123
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: EV trucks, they ever got to the battery power trucks.

1124
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 3: They just announced they're scrapping the whole thing and they're

1125
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 3: just gonna build the old fashioned gasoline powered pickup trucks

1126
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 3: because nobody wanted to drive them.

1127
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean, and that was That's been clear, I

1128
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 16: would say for five to ten years. But the inconvenience

1129
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 16: of having an EV is significant, and for a lot

1130
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 16: of Americans, they simply just don't work. By the way,

1131
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 16: if you want an EV, that's great, I want I mean,

1132
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 16: that's terrific. But the idea that we were going to

1133
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 16: force conversion to electric vehicles, which is what Joe Biden

1134
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 16: wanted to do, and put in place mandates that would

1135
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 16: make that happen, it was preposterous. So Ford has lost

1136
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 16: tens of billions of dollars trying to comply with unpopular

1137
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 16: and unnecessary government mandates. Top down decision making for American consumers,

1138
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 16: where we're going to decide what kind of car you

1139
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 16: should buy? And boyl boy, what a disaster for Ford

1140
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 16: Motor Company. So, you know, better late than never, And

1141
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 16: now this is late, but at least now I think

1142
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 16: the country has understood that, Yeah, this whole climate thing

1143
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 16: is it's not a hope. President Trump shouldn't say.

1144
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 17: That because the Earth has warmed somewhat.

1145
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 6: But the.

1146
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 16: Approaches to fixing that and to ameliorating the damage done

1147
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 16: by warming have been totally wrong. And I think now,

1148
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 16: thankfully again, people are kind of getting onto that.

1149
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 3: Liz peaks one.

1150
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 11: I mean, oh, yeah, some are things they're wrong about.

1151
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 3: Liz, I want to I want to mend your ear

1152
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 3: on the end. By the way, she got to go

1153
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 3: read the column at Function News and she points out

1154
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 3: five key points here. But I got to ask you

1155
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 3: about the economy because I mean things are really it

1156
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 3: looks like the table has been set in twenty twenty five,

1157
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 3: And that was the phrasing that Scott Bessont used, how

1158
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 3: are things looking and what do you what do you

1159
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 3: what do you see hampening in twenty twenty six when

1160
01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 3: it comes to the economy, Well, I.

1161
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 16: Do think the table has been set. You've had a

1162
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 16: tremendous amount of investment coming in and pledged to come

1163
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 16: into the United States. That has begun, Todd. I mean

1164
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 16: I have been tracking as others have, you know, shovels

1165
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 16: in the ground. There are a lot of new factories

1166
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 16: under construction that's just going to develop and meaning more

1167
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 16: construction people being hired. Eventually those factories will also be

1168
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 16: hiring people. I think that whole tariff related effort to

1169
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 16: onshore production in the United States has been very positive

1170
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 16: and I think it will help. The other thing, of course,

1171
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 16: is the Big Beautiful Bill, which because it wasn't in

1172
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 16: effect last year, people I think will be happily surprised

1173
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 16: to find that their withholding has gone down because that

1174
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 16: they're getting taxed on tips, taxed on Social Security at

1175
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 16: a certain level, et cetera. They will find that their

1176
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 16: taxes are reduced and the child tax credit has been increased,

1177
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 16: So that is going to have a big impact on

1178
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 16: average Americans. Maverage Americans are going to find that themselves

1179
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 16: thousands of dollars better off. That is huge to me.

1180
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 16: And then the final thing is that the whole hysteria

1181
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 16: about tariff has waned. And I think now people, all

1182
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 16: those you know, very clever economists and analysts who said

1183
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 16: the world was coming to an end are big I

1184
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 16: need to realize that this really has been a very

1185
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 16: positive program. Yes, some prices have gone up very modestly

1186
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 16: as a result, but the government's taking in hundreds of

1187
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,960
Speaker 16: billions of dollars in revenues, and I really sincerely hope

1188
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 16: the President doesn't squander that on sending checks out to people. Yeah,

1189
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 16: we all want to get a check in the mail,

1190
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 16: but it's much more important to begin driving down our

1191
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 16: deficit on our debt because ultimately that leads to higher

1192
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 16: interest rates, that leads to higher payments from the government,

1193
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 16: and all kinds of other programs that are very important

1194
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 16: get crowded out. So anyhow, I'm optimistic that all these

1195
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 16: things take effect, and Americans are going to be better

1196
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 16: off as a result.

1197
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I think it was Senator

1198
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 3: Ron Johnson, I believe from Wisconsin is so wet, we

1199
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 3: don't have the money to give everybody one of those

1200
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars checks exactly. You know, it is interesting.

1201
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 16: Yeah, the president wants votes, and I hope that voters

1202
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 16: will be smart enough to kind to look through some

1203
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:04,679
Speaker 16: of the nonsense they're hearing from the left wing media

1204
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 16: and realize that, yeah, the country's doing pretty well, so

1205
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 16: you know, and hopefully that is more important than getting

1206
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 16: a check in the mail.

1207
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be more interested in getting all of this

1208
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 3: grift under control. You know, the story out of Minnesota

1209
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 3: and now California and New York. We've got to get

1210
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:25,879
Speaker 3: that under control. And again you're looking at maybe hundreds

1211
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 3: of billions of dollars in fraud.

1212
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1213
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 16: Well, and that's been going on for far too long,

1214
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 16: And honestly, it really took a very visible and ugly

1215
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 16: thing like this Somali cheating in Minnesota on all these

1216
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 16: different programs to alert people to the fact that, yeah,

1217
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,719
Speaker 16: guess what, when you start throwing big government money around,

1218
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 16: big government fraud takes comes next, and it's unacceptable and

01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:32,160

1246
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 17: Thanks Tat. Yeah, you were talking about dropping stuff on

1247
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 17: New Year's out here in San Francisco with the tall buildings.

1248
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 17: You know, those big strings of fireworks, you know, like

1249
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 17: two hundred or maybe even upwards a two hundred per string.

1250
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 17: Imagine dropping them from the top floor down under the

1251
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 17: alley below, and the noise resonating around the whole the

1252
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:04,480
Speaker 17: whole zip code is fantastic. And you know, we have multiple,

1253
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 17: multiple reasons to drop fireworks out here in multiple New Years.

1254
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:15,799
Speaker 17: Of course, We've got the solstice is the astronomical New Years,

1255
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 17: and then we've got our official americanized one. But then

1256
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 17: there's a Chinese one, there's tet We have so many

1257
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 17: New Years out here, I think I grow by five

1258
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 17: or ten years every year. So the thing I was

1259
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 17: your previous color though. You know, she was talking about Gaza,

1260
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 17: and to me, what's going on there is really an

1261
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 17: issue of fracking the Holy Land. They discovered natural gas

1262
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 17: at least the year two thousand down there, and they

1263
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,559
Speaker 17: also discovered oil underneath Gaza. And if you remember the

1264
01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 17: seminole of Classic Saddles where there's a discovery that they're

1265
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 17: going to run a railroad through a small town and

1266
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 17: the evil henchman decides to drive everybody out and he's

1267
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 17: going to be the corporate state. He's going to be

1268
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 17: the company town, and he'll destroy everybody in that town

1269
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 17: in order to get the goods. Same things going on

1270
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 17: in Gaza.

1271
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 3: Are you sure about that though, because I mean the

1272
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 3: natural gas that is actually that they've found there is

1273
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 3: in a field off the coast, and they, as far

1274
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 3: as all the experts, you're saying that there's no proven,

1275
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 3: commercially viable oil reserves in Gaza.

1276
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 17: Well that kind of refutes their previous interview with the

1277
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:54,640
Speaker 17: woman that was claiming that we don't need electrical systems,

1278
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 17: we don't need solar, we don't need wind power, We

1279
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,679
Speaker 17: just need old gasoline well, they discuss gas under there.

1280
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 17: Just go to the oil and gas journal. I mean,

1281
01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 17: they've got plenty of you know, the corporate newsletters for

1282
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 17: the industry. And the fact of the matter is is

1283
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 17: if you start looking at the idea that genocide is

1284
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 17: a funny word. If you're killing people just because you

1285
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 17: want their mineral rights, it's not a holy genocide. It's

1286
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 17: a killing them.

1287
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 3: So that there is that what you're alleging Israel is doing.

1288
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 3: Israel is killing gosms because they want the oil for

1289
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 3: the mineral rights.

1290
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 17: Absolutely, Who where's your proof of that?

1291
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 3: Well, where's your proof of that?

1292
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 10: Though?

1293
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 17: Well, let's go to Hebraic law.

1294
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 3: No, I just asked in your Look, I don't want

1295
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 3: to get into a Hebraic law discussion on national radio

1296
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 3: with you, but I'm just wondering, where is your proof

1297
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:54,480
Speaker 3: because it seems to me they weren't shooting at anybody

1298
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 3: until they were being shot at.

1299
01:14:58,439 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 17: Well, if you go to the the United Nations Commission on.

1300
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,919
Speaker 3: Trade and Development, Well, I think you lost the argument

1301
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 3: with me, David when you brought up the United Nations.

1302
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I think you have to

1303
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 3: go back to October seventh. Look, at what happened in

1304
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 3: October seventh. Israel was attacked and then Israel fought back,

1305
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 3: and that's what's going on. And if Gazup wants to

1306
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 3: do something about their current living conditions, they need to

1307
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 3: take that up with Hamas. All right, gotta take a

1308
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 3: break here, of folks, Hang tight. This is the Tom Stearns.

1310
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:06,720
Speaker 2: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.

1311
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 10: That says.

1312
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:11,840

Speaker 3: up for the midterm elections. Of course, one of the

1325
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 3: big races. We're going to be looking at the governor

1326
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 3: of Iowa, and there is a lot to discuss in

1327
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:04,879
Speaker 3: the great state of Ioways have a lot of listeners.

1328
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:09,719
Speaker 3: They're in the nation's heartland. Brad Sherman is an ordained

1329
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: minister and wants to be the next governor of the state.

1330
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 3: He joins us live on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line Brad,

1331
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 3: good to have you with us.

1332
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 12: That's great to be with you, Toad.

1333
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 3: So why why in the world do you want to

1334
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:24,919
Speaker 3: be governor of Iowa.

1335
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 12: Well, sometimes I wonder, but whenever I pray, God makes

1336
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 12: it very clear.

1337
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 3: Why.

1338
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 12: You know, I've been traveling around the state for years.

1339
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 12: I've been a pastor for forty five years. I've always

1340
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 12: been involved in trying to restore the founding principles of

1341
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 12: our nation. And those founding principles are based on well

1342
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 12: things just like the Declaration of Independence, which says that

1343
01:17:48,040 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 12: our rights come from God, not government, and the purpose

1344
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 12: of government is to protect those rights. Of course that's

1345
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 12: a paraphrase, but that's exactly the message that we get

1346
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 12: from the Declaration, and so, you know, we have to

1347
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 12: get back to those founding principles. And so that's been

1348
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 12: my campaign slogan since we started this race in February.

1349
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 12: And it's not just a slogan, it's been my heartbeat

1350
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 12: for over forty years.

1351
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 3: Well, I know that you have been embroiled in this

1352
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,879
Speaker 3: huge controversy there at the state House where the Iowa

1353
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 3: where they allowed a Satanic altar to be displayed in

1354
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 3: the state capital. Fortunately, my understanding is most recently the

1355
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:31,560
Speaker 3: request was turned down. This is from reporting back in November.

1356
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:34,479
Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people were stunned to realize, wait,

1357
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 3: a second Satanist in Iowa.

1358
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, that was back in twenty three when it

1359
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 12: was allowed in there. Twenty twenty three. That's when I

1360
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:47,719
Speaker 12: was in the state legislature, and you know, I wrote

1361
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 12: several articles. In fact, I think you mentioned it on

1362
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 12: your show once, and I was, you know, trying, I

1363
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 12: was asking the governor to remove it.

1364
01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 6: You know.

1365
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 12: Of course, the excuse they were giving was that it's

1366
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 12: a free speech issue, and I strongly disagree with that position.

1367
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 12: And in fact, the you know, one of the guys

1368
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 12: that the guy that allowed it from the Department Administrative

1369
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 12: Services is also a candidate for governor and he's a

1370
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 12: pretty good guy, but he's the one that allowed it,

1371
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 12: and he's his excuse for allowing it in twenty twenty

1372
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 12: three is it's a free speech issue. And so now

1373
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 12: they're taking a stand against it. But but back then,

1374
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 12: I was the first Bloce to speak up and say

1375
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 12: it's not a free speech issue, you know.

1376
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 6: I mean, the.

1377
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 12: Pre amble to our Iowa Constitution says that we we're

1378
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 12: grateful to the Supreme Being for the blessings we've hitherto enjoyed,

1379
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 12: and we feel dependence upon him for a continuation of

1380
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 12: those blessings. And so that lays the foundation, you know,

1381
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 12: for you know, this whole issue of free speech. We

1382
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 12: just have a twisted interpretation of the First Amendment these days,

1383
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 12: and we've got we've got to change that.

1384
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 3: And we also need Republicans like yourself who are willing

1385
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 3: to stand up and take a stand. I've noticed that

1386
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 3: the endorsement list for you is growing pretty pretty rapidly,

1387
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 3: So that's got to be exciting news.

1388
01:20:08,320 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, we're encouraged to have some endorsements, and you know,

1389
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 12: we haven't pursued endorsements much lately. We had some we

1390
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 12: the ones we got we got early on, and a

1391
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 12: few more are adding on that. We've got, you know,

1392
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 12: on a national level've got Jim Garlow. You're probably familiar with.

1393
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 12: Jim Garlow wrote those books called Reversed and Well Versed. Uh,

1394
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 12: you know, he's a friend and has endorsed us, and

1395
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 12: he's he's very much involved in teaching biblical principles for government.

1396
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:35,240
Speaker 12: And then we've got some of the some of the

1397
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 12: some of the most respected state legislators in the House

1398
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 12: and the Senate that are endorsing me. So so yeah,

1399
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:43,680
Speaker 12: we're very encouraged about that.

1400
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm curious what you would see as the number one

1401
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 3: most pressing issue there in the state of Iowa.

1402
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 12: Well, there are several key issues. I mean, the property

1403
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,240
Speaker 12: rights is a big one. You know that I mentioned

1404
01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,839
Speaker 12: the Declaration, you know, Live of Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness.

1405
01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 12: Pursuit of happiness is really primarily talking about property rights.

1406
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 12: And there's a big issue now where they're trying to

1407
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 12: use eminent domain, uh you know for a private companies

1408
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,800
Speaker 12: that for a product that's not a public utility, and

1409
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 12: you know, and it just shouldn't be happening. So that's

1410
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 12: a big issue. I've been fighting against the abuse of

1411
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 12: eminent domain inmate domain for private gains. The phrase that

1412
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:23,040
Speaker 12: gets passed around a lot, and so we've been fighting that.

1413
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:24,520
Speaker 12: That's that's a huge issue.

1414
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:25,519
Speaker 6: I think.

1415
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,799
Speaker 12: I feel, like, you know, there are lots of several issues.

1416
01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 12: I think education reformer is a big one. I think

1417
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 12: that goes to the underlying route of many of our

1418
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 12: problems with our education system has been has been basically

1419
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 12: taken over in large part and in many cases by

1420
01:21:41,880 --> 01:21:45,400
Speaker 12: left wing thinking people with the woke ideology and all that,

1421
01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 12: and so until we you know, this is this is

1422
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,799
Speaker 12: destroying the minds of our children and the next generation.

1423
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 12: So you know, we have to reform that. So I think,

1424
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:56,519
Speaker 12: I mean, that's a pressing issue for me. I think

1425
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,600
Speaker 12: the property rights is one of the more surface issues.

1426
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 3: Currently a big field of folks running. What is it

1427
01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 3: that sets you apart from other Republicans and the race, Well, I.

1428
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 12: Think I think just my ears of you know, doing

1429
01:22:13,360 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 12: a lot of grassroots work is one of the big issues.

1430
01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 12: And the broad range of experience I bring. I mean,

1431
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 12: I grew up driving dolgers and drag lines and doing

1432
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:23,960
Speaker 12: farm drainage work. And I always make the joke that

1433
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 12: I literally have swamp draining experience, and so that's that's

1434
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,160
Speaker 12: an interesting part of it. But now a lot of

1435
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 12: blue collar work, a lot of grassroots work, you know,

1436
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 12: in terms of being involved in the party. You know,

1437
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 12: I've been a LED caucus's county chair, convention delegate all

1438
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 12: the way to the national level, and then of course

1439
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 12: serving the legislature, so you know, I really understand the

1440
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 12: whole grassroots issue that how important that is here in

1441
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 12: Iowa and been deeply involved in that for many years.

1442
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 12: So that's a big thing, big thing. And then of course,

1443
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 12: and I've done home building and real estate development and

1444
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 12: some of that on the side as well during those

1445
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 12: forty five years of pastoring. But I think I think

1446
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 12: pastoring is underrated by many people because you help people

1447
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 12: all the way from you know, you know, you do

1448
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 12: their weddings, you dedicate their babies, you help them through

1449
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 12: tough times, and and then you know, bury their loved ones,

1450
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:18,799
Speaker 12: you know, and then you help them build their careers

1451
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 12: and their faith and so there's a there's a broad

1452
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 12: range of experience when you're actually you know, working with

1453
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 12: people face to face, all.

1454

1490

Speaker 9: that was a Karen. That's definitely a Karen. And the

1491
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 9: second call from San Francisco was Karen's friends.

1492
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:25,639

Speaker 9: we go. Don't get me started, Todd right now. Okay,

01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 9: when I heard her. If I could crawl through this phone,

1500
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 9: which I probably can't because I am ninety parents, I

1501
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 9: probably could crawl through the phone and probably could have

1502
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 9: kicked her rearring. I'm telling you, but listen, aren't like

1503

Speaker 3: Well, it's it's a little fun. It's sort of like

1520
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 3: a cat and mouse game, Paddy. That's why we let

1521
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,719
Speaker 3: the callers through, and we will. I really do hope

1522
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 3: that they come armed with some sort of an RN.

1523
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 3: But that's what was disappointing to me is that these folks,

1524
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 3: you know, they called into the show and they were

1525
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:06,799
Speaker 3: not prepared.

1526
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 9: Yep, did you expect any more? You're idiots, And they

1527
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 9: are the people that vote for Newsom. These are the

1528
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:21,640
Speaker 9: people that vote from Kamala Harris. Look, they have no brains.

1529
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 9: So when you see a street, we get the screen

1530
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 9: equal to stanfordis story whatever A lucky state. You know,

01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 9: grew up in a Republican household. My parents were both Republicans.

1535
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 9: My father was a Nixon fanatic. My father loved President Nixon.

1623
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:58,639
Speaker 3: ice rates. Those illegals better piece, they better be scared.

1624
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,240
Speaker 3: I have a question for you. Carl Rove is over

1625
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:08,640
Speaker 3: on Fox and he's throwing down against Trump, And he

1626
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 3: says the problem with Trump now is that his pace

1627
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:18,280
Speaker 3: is unrelenting. And he says the pace is also unsustainable,

1628
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:21,519
Speaker 3: and he said there are signs the public is tiring

1629
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:28,360
Speaker 3: of his hyperbole and his insatiable desire for retribution. Increasingly

1630
01:32:28,640 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 3: they may hear only the offensive or cruel things. He says.

1631
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 3: Has the President convinced himself that he doesn't need to

1632
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 3: sell his policies and actions. It appears that he believes

1633
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:45,000
Speaker 3: he can will He can will people into agreeing with

1634
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:48,719
Speaker 3: him by claiming his achievements are the biggest, the best,

1635
01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 3: and the most amazing in history. Rove goes on to

1636
01:32:52,960 --> 01:32:56,640
Speaker 3: say Trump's gone way too far by slapping his name

1637
01:32:56,720 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 3: on buildings the Donald J. Trump and JFK Center for

1638
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:05,160
Speaker 3: the Performing Arts, and government programs like the Navy's Trump

1639
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 3: Class Battleship. He might receive fawning reaction from his magabase,

1640
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 3: but the average American finds such narcissism off putting. Is

1641
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 3: is that how you you see the president's behavior? Do

1642
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 3: you see it as being narcissistic?

1643
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 11: Are you?

1644
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 3: Are you put off by the President's behavior of late?

1645
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 3: Just curious? I know Rove hates the guy's guts. He's

1646
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 3: never been a Trump fan, and I'm curious to hear

1647
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:42,719
Speaker 3: hear your thoughts on that. But Carl Rove on Fox

1648
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 3: talking about President Trump and says that it's leading to

1649
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 3: a very bad place in Republican politics. Our telephone number

1650
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:53,960

01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:05,640
Speaker 3: President Donald J. Trump to be off putting? You know

1654
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 3: what I find off putting. That nasty whiteboard that guy

1655
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 3: tot's around all the time. Unbelievable. All right, gotta take

Speaker 8: You know.

1658
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:39,519
Speaker 3: One of my favorite stories of the year came from

01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 3: our good buddy Jeff Katz over at WRVA, which happens

01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:50,760
Speaker 3: They should be carrying us noon to three eastern. They

1662
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 3: do not, but we're working on it. Jeff Katz joining

1663
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:56,880
Speaker 3: us on our Patriot Weble newsmaker line. Katz, can you

1664
01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 3: put in a good word for us?

1665
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:03,400
Speaker 18: I am putting in more multiple words, my friend, multiple words,

1666

Speaker 18: a lot of letters and everything in them.

1668
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:11,519
Speaker 3: So the whole this story that we're about to talk about,

1669
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm just shocked it did not happen in Memphis. This

1670
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 3: is really a Memphis story that is happening in the

1671
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 3: Richmond area. Can we talk about the drunk raccoon?

1672
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 18: Heck, yeah we can. I am wearing my trashed Panda

1673
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 18: sweatshirt today. In fact, you bet you so this raccoon,

1674
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 18: I mean, this was you. At first you think it's

1675
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 18: all made up, this is AI video, but it is that.

1676
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 18: It is an honest to good story about a raccoon

1677
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 18: that broke into a liquor store, got drunk, and then

1678
01:35:44,320 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 18: passed out in the in the bathroom. Yeah, now I

1679
01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 18: have to tell you some toddy. It was the Ashland

1680
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 18: ABC store.

1681
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 10: And how did I know that?

1682
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:56,880
Speaker 18: I recognized it from the from the photo, which is

1683
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 18: kind of sad, But that is my ABC store, my friend,

1684
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 18: that's my It's it's not more than a mile from

1685
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:03,759
Speaker 18: my house.

1686
01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 3: Wow, So hold on, I've got to stop you there.

1687
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,240
Speaker 3: So years ago, when I was at Fox, there was

1688
01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:12,560
Speaker 3: a barbecue joint. No, a church got kicked out of

1689
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 3: a barbecue joint in New York City. They rented it

1690
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 3: on Sunday mornings for their for their worship space, and

1691
01:36:18,439 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 3: they got kicked out because the owner of the barbecue

1692
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:25,000
Speaker 3: joint was was really upset over their views on gay

1693
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 3: marriage or something. So anyway, I asked the church, I said, oh,

1694
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 3: what barbecue joint? When they said, well, we don't want

1695
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,920
Speaker 3: to say, you know, we don't want to cause a scene.

1696
01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,640
Speaker 3: Well I took one look at the photograph and I

1697
01:36:35,720 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 3: knew exactly what barbecue joint it was. I'm like, holy cramp,

1698
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,639
Speaker 3: that's my barbecue joint. Ah, so I can relate, lunch,

1699
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 3: I can relate. So so you you saw the videos

1700
01:36:49,040 --> 01:36:51,640
Speaker 3: and you're like, holy cramp, I've been in that bathroom.

1701
01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,160
Speaker 3: So take us through what happened.

1702
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 18: Well, there is a very social raccoon, and as you know,

1703
01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:05,920
Speaker 18: south of the Mason Dixon line, we refer to raccoons

1704
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:11,080
Speaker 18: as trash pandas. And this guy was walking on the

1705
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 18: roof of that particular little shopping center and he came

1706
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 18: down some of the electrical wires and then kind of

1707
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,680
Speaker 18: crashed through the ceiling just a little bit, and then

1708
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:28,559
Speaker 18: he did some serious tippling and sampling and taste testing

1709
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:33,760
Speaker 18: and comparison shopping and he consumed what could only be

1710
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:38,640
Speaker 18: described as a massive amount of adult beverages and then

1711
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 18: staggered to the bathroom and passed out like probably one

1712
01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:46,759
Speaker 18: or two or ten college students have in the past.

1713
01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:49,719
Speaker 3: The poor raccoon was drunk as a skunk.

1714
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:56,760
Speaker 18: He was, indeed, and he was rescued by one of

1715
01:37:56,880 --> 01:38:01,400
Speaker 18: our Hanover County Animal Control officers, Officer Martin, who comes

1716
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 18: from a law enforcement family. Her dad was a captain

1717
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 18: in the Richmond Police Department. And the sad news was

1718
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 18: is she reported Todd that she had actually interacted with

1719
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:18,280
Speaker 18: this drunk raccoon drunk before and took him back to

1720
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:20,280
Speaker 18: the great outdoors and released him.

1721
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 10: And we're just waiting for the next sighting.

1722
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's you know, it's it reminded me. This whole

1723
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 3: story reminds me of the possum drop and was at

1724
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,479
Speaker 3: North Carolina, which they had to stop because Pete got upset.

1725
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 3: But I don't know, I just sort of saw some

1726
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:37,240
Speaker 3: similarities between the two stories.

1727
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:38,600
Speaker 6: Oh, it is.

1728
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:42,439
Speaker 10: It's an interesting story tied. Now here's the other thing.

1729
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:47,200
Speaker 18: I don't know how smart raccoons are, and this raccoon

1730
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 18: may not be the smartest, or he may need like

1731
01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 18: a twelve paw situation to get over it. But it's

1732
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 18: only a couple of doors down from a giant Food

1733
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 18: Lions supermarket. But he keeps going back back to the

1734
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 18: booze hut there instead of going and.

1735
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 10: Trashing the supermarkets.

1736
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 18: So he either has his priorities messed up or he's

1737
01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:11,759
Speaker 18: really learned how to make one heck of a martini.

1738
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 3: I seem to remember though, that raccoons, I mean, and

1739
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:21,280
Speaker 3: the Animal Kingdom are actually very intelligent and they actually

1740
01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:25,479
Speaker 3: have problem solving skills which were on full display in

1741
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 3: this video as the raccoon you know, got drunk.

1742
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, yeah, he figured out bottles, he figured out flavors,

1743
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:43,000
Speaker 18: and the Virginia ABC is now providing a raccoon endorsed

1744
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 18: selection list of certain beverages, and our handover animal control

1745
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 18: folks are selling t shirts and sweatshirts and I think

1746
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:57,240
Speaker 18: they've raised about one hundred thousand dollars to help animals

1747
01:39:57,280 --> 01:40:01,880
Speaker 18: here in Hanover County. So you know, we'll toast this evening.

1748
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:04,759
Speaker 18: Lift a glass and toast the little trash panda.

1749
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:07,560
Speaker 3: I love this. It's a great story, and for you

1750
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:12,599
Speaker 3: it went viral. I mean, everybody's talking and you're telling

1751
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,599
Speaker 3: of it, I think is really what set the stage

1752
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 3: for all of this.

1753
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:18,519
Speaker 10: Well, that's very kind. I don't know.

1754
01:40:18,760 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 18: I was totally sober. I should tell you that I

1755
01:40:21,840 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 18: may have known that ABC store, but I had not

1756
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 18: been to that ABC store.

1757
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 10: In a while.

1758
01:40:26,800 --> 01:40:29,720
Speaker 18: But it was it was the only thing that anybody

1759
01:40:29,880 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 18: locally could talk about. And you know how this is tied.

1760
01:40:33,479 --> 01:40:35,680
Speaker 18: Do you come across something you think, man, this is

1761
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 18: so crazy, so bizarre. So and we've got video and

1762
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 18: support out the heck with it.

1763
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:43,559
Speaker 10: We're going to run with it. And it does seem

1764
01:40:43,640 --> 01:40:44,640
Speaker 10: like everybody's enjoyed it.

1765
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 3: But you buried the lead because Talker's Magazine. I don't

1766
01:40:47,680 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 3: know how they got this photograph. Someone was They were

1767
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 3: peering through your window during one of the shows and

1768
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:58,640
Speaker 3: there you are interviewing the raccoon and the raccoon has

1769
01:40:58,840 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 3: like cans.

1770
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 18: On his Well, heck yeah, I mean I want him

1771
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 18: to hear, you know, the background music and be able

1772
01:41:05,880 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 18: to hear the producer.

1773
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 10: You know, it's important to have the proper equipment.

1774
01:41:09,160 --> 01:41:11,600
Speaker 3: Todd, was he sober for the interview? That's what I

1775
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 3: want to know.

1776
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 18: Well, he began that way, but you know, after a

1777
01:41:14,920 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 18: few minutes of talking to me, he wanted a drink

1778
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:17,680
Speaker 18: or two.

1779
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 3: I was wondering what was in the coffee mugs. Oh

1780
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 3: my gosh, Jeffcats hanging out with U Wrva. By the way,

1781
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 3: you sent me some video. We've got to talk about this.

1782
01:41:30,200 --> 01:41:31,560
Speaker 3: A couple of weeks ago you said you got to

1783
01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 3: watch the podcast. So I'm watching Jeffcats in the Wild

1784
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 3: and you were like canoeing across some sort of like

1785
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 3: large body of water. What the heck was going on?

1786
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 18: Well, there is in the middle of the James River

1787
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 18: an island. It's called Sharp's Island, and in the late

1788
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:56,240
Speaker 18: eighteen hundreds, early nineteen hundreds, there was a family that

1789
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 18: actually built a two story stone home out there, and

1790
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:02,679
Speaker 18: through the year that that house has fallen into disrepair.

1791
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:05,960
Speaker 18: I think it's just now the foundation that's left. The

1792
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:08,200
Speaker 18: only way to get to the island, which is now

1793
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 18: owned by private people, including that guy Andy Thompson who

1794
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 18: was in the video, is to take a canoe. Now, Todd,

1795
01:42:16,479 --> 01:42:20,720
Speaker 18: you know that I pride myself on being the great indoorsman.

1796
01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:25,360
Speaker 18: Nothing bad has ever happened to anybody sitting on their couch.

1797
01:42:25,479 --> 01:42:27,720
Speaker 18: A bear has never chased them. They've never drowned in

1798
01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:31,560
Speaker 18: the water, you know, none of those things. And I

1799
01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:35,120
Speaker 18: was convinced that I should go and visit Sharp's Island.

1800
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 18: And this guy said to me, we will send a

1801
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:42,679
Speaker 18: boat for you. Now I had visions of the Queen

1802
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:47,200
Speaker 18: Elizabeth or the Queen Elizabeth too, or you know. It

1803
01:42:47,680 --> 01:42:51,759
Speaker 18: was a canoe, and well, Todd, here, I am fifty

1804
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:53,560
Speaker 18: plus years old. It was the first time I was

1805
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 18: ever in a canoe, and if everything goes according to plan,

1806
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:01,240
Speaker 18: that will be the last time that I'm ever in

1807
01:43:01,680 --> 01:43:05,479
Speaker 18: a canoe. But yeah, we went over to Sharp's Island

1808
01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:09,720
Speaker 18: and sat around a sort of like a fire pit

1809
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 18: and just talked about the issues of the day. It

1810
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 18: was actually a lot of fun.

1811
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:13,879
Speaker 3: It was a great interview.

1812
01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:17,840
Speaker 18: Yeah, it was outside, though outside Todd in the Great Outdoors.

1813
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 10: Yikes.

1814
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,840
Speaker 3: You know, Ben Dieter trying to get me go camping

1815
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:22,679
Speaker 3: once and I said, well, let me make a reservation

1816
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:26,240
Speaker 3: at the Ritz Carleton. And that's pretty much the extent

1817
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:27,720
Speaker 3: of my camping adventures.

1818
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:32,640
Speaker 18: You and I agree, Todd, that the Great Outdoors is

1819
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,360
Speaker 18: something you passed through on the way from your cab

1820
01:43:35,880 --> 01:43:36,639
Speaker 18: to the hotel.

1821
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 3: One thousand percent So when I bought k Ram, you know,

1822
01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:44,280
Speaker 3: our tower site is about fifteen miles away from the station.

1823
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 3: Our stations in East Memphis, and the tower is right

1824
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,439
Speaker 3: alongside the Mississippi River, and I own about thirty acres

1825
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:53,560
Speaker 3: of land there. So that's where the tower array is,

1826
01:43:53,640 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 3: three giant towers. And when I bought it, they said, well,

1827
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:00,840
Speaker 3: you need to buy a boat and a baseball And

1828
01:44:01,040 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 3: I said what for? And they said, well, during the

1829
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 3: flood season, you know, the river rises, and honest to goodness,

1830
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 3: she'll be like fourteen fifteen feet of water. Uh, Jeff Canson,

1831
01:44:10,560 --> 01:44:12,439
Speaker 3: you got to get a You've got to get from

1832
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:15,439
Speaker 3: the dry land to the tower, you know, the transmitter site.

1833
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:16,040
Speaker 1: Wow.

1834
01:44:16,200 --> 01:44:18,639
Speaker 3: And so I said, well, okay, that makes sense. I said,

1835
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 3: what's the baseball bat for? They said water moccasins.

1836
01:44:21,600 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 10: Oh my gosh.

1837
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:25,640
Speaker 3: So I made an investment not in a boat, but

1838
01:44:25,720 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 3: an engineer and a snake BikeE kit. And I said,

1839
01:44:28,040 --> 01:44:30,200
Speaker 3: have fun out there, have fun.

1840
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:33,960
Speaker 10: You take the meter readings. I'm sure they're fine.

1841
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 3: But I thought about you. As soon as I saw

1842
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:37,760
Speaker 3: you in that boat, I thought, Lord, that could have

1843
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:41,080
Speaker 3: been me. That's right, have been me, that's right. Well,

1844
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 3: I'm glad that you have not had to endure it. Man,

1845
01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:46,840
Speaker 3: I mean that is that's rough right there. Look, you're

1846
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 3: the boss, you own the place. Yeah, you you send

1847
01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 3: the engineer out there, that's right. I mean, it's send

1848
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 3: the Bible somewhere. Hey, I want to I want to

1849
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:58,080
Speaker 3: switch gears for a second and talk about radio. But

1850
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 3: there was there's been a lot of chaos, and you know,

1851
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:06,320
Speaker 3: social media, conservative influencer world, and I call these are like,

1852
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 3: you know, the mean girls and the jocks, right, it's

1853
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 3: like middle school kaffajem, notaorium all over again.

1854
01:45:12,840 --> 01:45:13,400
Speaker 10: Yep, yep.

1855
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:16,400
Speaker 3: And and somebody made I'm not going to name the name,

1856
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,560
Speaker 3: because first of all, I'm friends with a lot of

1857
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 3: these folks. But they made a comment about Mark Levin

1858
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:26,320
Speaker 3: and talking about how Levin is just an old, washed

1859
01:45:26,400 --> 01:45:29,200
Speaker 3: up radio guy. Nobody listens to radio anymore, and that

1860
01:45:29,479 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 3: really set me off because I know about you, but

1861
01:45:33,360 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 3: I've seen audiences growing and I think radio is more

1862
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 3: important now than any other time in recent memory. And

1863
01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,600
Speaker 3: I mean, you do this every single day, what say you?

1864
01:45:45,560 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 10: I completely agree with you, Todd.

1865
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 18: I understand that a lot of the folks in the

1866
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:53,240
Speaker 18: social media space and I know exactly who it is

1867
01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 18: that you're talking about. They have some wonderful products. I

1868
01:45:57,320 --> 01:45:59,400
Speaker 18: don't take anything away from them. I think that what

1869
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 18: they do can be quite valuable, quite important, quite meaningful,

1870
01:46:04,160 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 18: and and I wish them all the best. But to

1871
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 18: dismiss radio talk radio in particular in this day and

1872
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 18: age is folly. The reality is that folks like you

1873
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,800
Speaker 18: on the national level, I'd like to think folks like

1874
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:23,840
Speaker 18: me on a local level are as close to people

1875
01:46:24,040 --> 01:46:28,680
Speaker 18: as you can possibly get. And no offense to the

1876
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,160
Speaker 18: to those folks that we're talking about, But the reality

1877
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:35,719
Speaker 18: is we in the radio world are a lot closer

1878
01:46:35,800 --> 01:46:40,800
Speaker 18: to real people than they are with their social media platforms.

1879
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:46,600
Speaker 18: I don't know why some people are just determined to

1880
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:50,280
Speaker 18: start these skirmishes. I think Mark Levin is brilliant. He

1881
01:46:50,560 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 18: is I'm very, very proud of this. He and I

1882
01:46:54,479 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 18: are the only two conservative Republican Jewish guys to come

1883
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:00,559
Speaker 18: out of Philadelphia, so you know, we got to stand

1884
01:47:00,640 --> 01:47:05,120
Speaker 18: up for each other. But he's a brilliant guy, and frankly,

1885
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 18: he has so much to bring to the table. And

1886
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:10,120
Speaker 18: I think maybe some of these folks are a little jealous.

1887
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:12,200
Speaker 3: By the way you know, I agree with you one

1888
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 3: thousand percent. Did you know that the local you know, Memphis,

1889
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 3: we have a massive Jewish population, one of the largest

1890
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 3: outside of New York City, and uh so everywhere you

1891
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 3: go shalom, y'all. It's kind of like a thing here.

1892
01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,920
Speaker 3: And thanks to being, you know, being my time being

1893
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 3: spent in New York City, I have learned how to

1894
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 3: shmear a bagel correctly.

1895
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 10: So I am quelling Todd keelling.

1896
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 3: I say, yeah, I'm not sure what that means, but

1897
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:42,600
Speaker 3: I hope he's proud. Oh thank you. I'm getting the

1898
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:43,360
Speaker 3: vapors now.

1899
01:47:43,800 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 10: Anyway, how do you think you got that pyramid in Memphis? Sir?

1900
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 3: Well, well, that's fair enough. I've been named an honorary

1901
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 3: member of the Republican Jewish Club in Memphis, so I'm honored.

1902
01:47:58,360 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm one of their favorite gentiles.

1903
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:00,880
Speaker 10: I love it.

1904
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you are not going to believe the

1905
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:04,760
Speaker 3: spread they put on.

1906
01:48:05,040 --> 01:48:08,120
Speaker 18: I'm just telling you from a couple of hundred miles away,

1907
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:09,879
Speaker 18: I can tell you the food's going to be fantastic.

1908
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of the brisket. I'm going to

1909
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:15,320
Speaker 3: tell you that right now. I can throw down but

1910
01:48:15,840 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 3: to your point. Yeah, it's I mean, I think we're

1911
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 3: closer to our audience, and I think that, you know,

1912
01:48:21,560 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 3: there's an opportunity for our listeners to call in and

1913
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:28,520
Speaker 3: have conversations with us. You don't get that on the podcasting.

1914
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 3: And I'm honestly I know, believe it or not, I

1915
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:34,760
Speaker 3: know some of these people and they simply refuse to

1916
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 3: take calls those There are a couple that actually have

1917
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:39,800
Speaker 3: radio programs and they actually one of them actually told

1918
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:41,920
Speaker 3: their producer why would I want to talk to these people?

1919
01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 3: And I thought, wow, wow, yeah, wow, that says it all.

1920
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:51,240
Speaker 18: I love talking to those people because I don't know
