I appreciate you 30 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: guys being patient. I'm back, but back behind the microphone, 31 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: I think for good. So we don't have any major 32 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: events planned for a law time. And I was really 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: jealous because I wanted to be here to give you 34 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: my take on the State of Union address. And I 35 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: will say this, ladies and gentlemen, this was exactly what 36 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: President Trump needed to do. President Trump needed to knock 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: this out of the ballpark, and he blew it away. 38 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: This was, quite frankly, one of the best speeches that 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 3: the president delivered in his entire presidency. It hit all 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: the right notes. And by the way, the guy is 41 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: so funny, Donald Trump and his sense of humor and 42 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: the way he was the self deprecating humor went so far. 43 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 3: We need to see a smidge more of that from 44 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: this president. People they relate to it, they love it. 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: They were laughing along with him. And if anything else, 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: the most important takeaway from what happened at the State 47 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: of the Union on Tuesday is this. This one thing 48 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: is that President Trump and the Republican Party is standing 49 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: with the American people and the Democrats are not in 50 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: a very literal and a very figurative way. That's what 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 3: That's what we all learned. And when the President, when 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: the President invited people to stand up, if they if 53 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 3: they believe that we should put the well being of 54 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: American citizens first, the only people sitting on their butts, 55 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: on their derrires, on their hind quarters, or the Democrats, 56 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: that's it, that's who they are. While the Republicans were 57 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: standing up for the American people, you had other Democrats 58 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: that were out there cavorting with furries. That was a 59 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: little discombobulated. That was just disconcerting and discombobulating to watch 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: all of these Democrats dancing around on stage with people 61 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: dressed in animal costumes. What's going on there? 62 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 4: You know? 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: And again it's I hear this all the time from 64 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 3: the conservative world. Well, these just aren't very serious people, Todd. No, 65 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 3: they are serious people, and that's why you should be 66 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: very alarmed. We can't ever allow any of these people 67 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: to get anywhere near power. Again, by the way, there 68 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: are a lot of There are a lot of Democrats 69 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: like James Carvill. And I know James Carvill, is I 70 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: know a sleeze bag. Is he a likable sleeze bag? 71 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. I just i'd have him on the show. 72 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: I would invite James Carvill to go on the show. 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: But the guy really hates Trump, and but he's also 74 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: pragmatic about things. And Carvill is losing his mind right 75 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: now because he understands that the Democrats are being portrayed 76 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 3: as a bunch of lunatics because they're behaving like lunatics. 77 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: I mean, when you have people like Gavin Nuskamp, who's 78 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: out there degrading the intelligence of every Southern man and woman, 79 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: black and white. When you've got AOC out there and 80 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: Ilhan Omar screaming like some sort of Islamic jihadist at 81 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: President Trump, when you've got Rashida Talib out there accusing 82 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: people as they're changing USA for for the men's hockey team. 83 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: She's out there mouthing the words KKK. These are these 84 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: are very serious people. You should you should listen to them, 85 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: and you should heed what they are saying, because they 86 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: aren't targeting all of you, and they're gonna be coming 87 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: after all of us. You know. That's the big that's 88 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: the big threat coming from the Democrat Party. Put us 89 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: in power, and we're gonna punish all these Trump supporters. 90 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 3: They're gonna go after the Homeland Security agents. They're gonna 91 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 3: go after ice, They're gonna go after a border patrol. 92 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: They're gonna go after a conservative talk radio host. They're 93 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: gonna go after anybody who stood their ground for Donald Trump. 94 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,359 Speaker 3: And you should believe them. These are very dangerous people 95 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: we're talking about. There really has been a aw evolution 96 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: that's been happening in our nation on these public school 97 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: campuses across the country, and this is the result of it. 98 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: I mean, it is I don't know. I call it 99 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: Islamo communist is really I think the appropriate terminology here. 100 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: And when I was in Houston, I was just really stunned. 101 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: That's that is a huge issue in Houston, is that 102 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: they are literally being overrun the Lone Star state is 103 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: literally being overrun right now by these Democrats that are 104 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 3: flooding into the state and by the rise of Islam. 105 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 3: There are more mosques going up than Baptist churches in 106 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: the state of Texas right now. And I'm not sure 107 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: that the Republicans in charge, even in Texas understand the 108 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: seriousness of that issue. I will say this that the 109 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 3: ladies at the Village Republican Club certainly understand it, and 110 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: they understand exactly what is coming down the pike. So 111 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: we got a lot to talk about, a lot to 112 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 3: catch up on, a lot. By the way, Hillary Clinton 113 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: being deposed today, there is a lawmaker under fire, a 114 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: Republican congressman under fire for seeing some pretty for doing 115 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: some pretty awful things that led to the suicide of 116 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: a of an under well of a younger staff member. 117 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: We're going to get into that story. Also, there are 118 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: apparently more Epstein files that have that have yet to 119 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: be released. And ladies and gentlemen, as I have said 120 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: from day one and have not wavered from this position, 121 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: release everything everything, Just release it, and if there are 122 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: if there are caveats, include the caveat, but just release 123 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 3: the blasted files, all of them, and let's be done 124 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: with this once and for all. If if grown people, 125 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: if men and women. I don't care if you're wealthier 126 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: or not. I don't care if you're a celebrity or not, 127 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: or if you're powerful or not. But if people committed 128 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: crimes against these young girls, they should be held accountable, 129 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: every single one of them. They should be held accountable. 130 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: All right, Well, let me give out the telephone number here, 131 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six. 132 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six. 133 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 3: Let me say this before we go to break. I 134 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: truly believe that President Trump set the stage for what 135 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 3: could be a big win for Republicans in the midterms. 136 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: That being said, the fact that you've got the Majority 137 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 3: leader John Thune, who was called out during the State 138 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: of the Union address. Thune was called out and President 139 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: Trump said, we've got to get the Save Act passed. 140 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: You've got to get into my desk. And John Thune 141 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: is still defying the President of the United States. Do 142 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: you understand the significance of this moment that the Republican 143 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: leader of the Senate is openly defying Donald J. Trump. Now, 144 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: I have a couple of theories about that, and I'll 145 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: share that. I'm sure you may have some theories as 146 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 3: well as to why Republicans will not move forward. Now 147 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: here's where I'm going to get myself in a little 148 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: bit of trouble, and I really don't care because I'm 149 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 3: no longer a Republican. I should probably explain that. Maybe 150 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: I'll do it after we come back from the I'm 151 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 3: no longer a Republican. I've decided I'm going to be 152 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 3: voting for the best man the best woman for the job, 153 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: and if they happen to be a Republican, that's great. 154 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 3: But I'll explain that part of the story in just 155 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: a little while. But the issue here is that the 156 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: Republicans in the US Senate. Have you noticed that many 157 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: of them, They'll come onto this program, they'll come on 158 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: to my NEWSMAC show, and they will say, oh, we 159 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: believe the we believe that the Save Act should pass, 160 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 3: we support the Save Act. And yet these same individuals, 161 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 3: these same senators, will not they will not condemn Leader Thuon. 162 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: Have you noticed that not a single member of the 163 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: Senate is out there condemning John Thune? And why is that? 164 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: Because John Thune is a very powerful man, ladies and gentleman. 165 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 3: You don't hear a lot about you don't hear a 166 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: lot about the majority leader, but he is a very 167 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 3: powerful man. And clearly somebody got to him, somebody got 168 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 3: to thuon and said, this legislation is going to die 169 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: in the Senate. And it just seems to me that 170 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: a lot of Republicans are using John Thune as cover 171 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: right now, and they're using that as their excuse, Oh, 172 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: we support the legislation, but there's really not anything we 173 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 3: can do about it. You know, they're not going to 174 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: bring it to the floor for a vote. We're not 175 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: going to do the filibuster. Oops. Sorry, which we could 176 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: help you out, but we've got you. I don't believe that, 177 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, I don't believe any of 178 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: the Republicans in the US Senate. But it actually wants 179 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 3: to the filibuster. Otherwise they would be screaming about it 180 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: on cable news, they would be screaming about it on 181 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 3: conservative talk radio. But they're not doing that. And the 182 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 3: reason why is they've been bought and paid for two 183 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: And I guarantee you, people with very deep pockets have 184 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 3: told John thune you will do as we say or 185 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 3: the money dries up. I think it's really that simple, folks, 186 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: I truly do all right.

This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. 208 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: Happy to have you with us today. I find this 209 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 3: interesting that the reaction coming from the media about the 210 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 3: US men's hockey team and these four guys are are 211 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: just getting just slaughtered by the national media. I mean, 212 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 3: it's really disgusting. And if you still hold a subscription 213 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: to USA Today or the New York Times or the 214 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 3: San Francisco Chronicle, you need to cancel your your subscription 215 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: because you're supporting this sort of anti American sentiment. And 216 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: again going back to the US hockey team being honored 217 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: at the State of the Union address, by the way, 218 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 3: the fake news around the US women's hockey team, they 219 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: too were invited, but their team took a pass. Their 220 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: team took a pass. So this is not on Donald Trump. 221 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 3: President Trump wasn't showing favoritism. He was He had simply 222 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: invited both teams and only one team agreed. To come. 223 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 3: So that's on the woke gals over at US Ladies High. 224 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: So anyway, USA Today is writing a piece as well 225 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: as the New York Times, and they're condemning the men's 226 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: hockey team. This is the headline from the New York Times. 227 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 3: The US men's Olympic hockey team won gold and then 228 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 3: lost the room. Well how exactly did they do that? Well? 229 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 3: The writer of this piece a guy by the name 230 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: of Jerry Brewer, who is a far leftist. And I 231 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 3: don't know why these far leftists are now attracted to 232 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 3: sports pages, but they are. And here's what Jerry Brewer 233 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: had to say. This is not a neutral president, this 234 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: is not a neutral climate, and a nation of this polarized. 235 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: The proximity carries weight, whether the players are being intentional 236 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 3: or merely naive. America no longer experiences these rituals in 237 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: the same way, and it may never again. Athletes would 238 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: be wise to recognize us. Really, it's not a problem 239 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: when the athletes are invited by Joe Biden, only when 240 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 3: Donald Trump invites the athletes to the White House. So 241 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: the New York Times condemning the hockey team, as did 242 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: USA Today, but ultimately This goes back to something. And 243 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: by the way, they're not being naive. These young men 244 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: love their country. They love American over and over and 245 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: over again. They have been wrapping themselves in their red, 246 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: white and blue. Meanwhile, the male figure skaters and that crowd, well, 247 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 3: they hate America and they use their platform to take 248 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: cheap shots at our country. Nobody in the media complained 249 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: about that. It's only when the kids who love America 250 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: get up and say something that it becomes a problem. 251 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: Look at what's happening in our public schools right now. 252 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 3: Over the past forty eight hours, there have been multiple 253 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: reports of young people who are pro ice pro Trump 254 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 3: getting beaten up on their school campuses by these mobs 255 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: of little thugglings. And for you folks and Barthholesville, Oklahoma, 256 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: thuglings are what we call underage thugs. Thuglings. So this 257 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: is happening all over the country where you've got these revolutionaries, 258 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: and let's be clear, these are little communists, and they're 259 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: going after your kids who love America. They're going after 260 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: anthletes who love America. Go all the way back to 261 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 3: President Trump when he was first running for office, and 262 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: he said the reason why they're attacking me is because 263 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: they can't attack you. Well, now they're attacking all of us, 264 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: and they feel emboldened. And one of the reasons they 265 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: feel emboldened, one of the reasons why, is that they 266 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: know there are no repercussions. That's the problem. Right when 267 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk got assassinated and they started firing all of 268 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 3: these teachers. Got news for you, folks. Most of those 269 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: teachers are already back in the classrooms and they were 270 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: given tens of thousands of dollars in damages. There are 271 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: no penalty, Which is why I have been sounding the 272 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: alarm that if we are going to win in twenty 273 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 3: twenty six and beyond, we've got to shut down the 274 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 3: Department of Education, dismantle, defund send control back to the states, 275 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 3: send control back to the local communities, and cut off 276 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: cut off this radical leftist union out there representing the teachers. 277 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 3: And what was it a couple of days ago, you 278 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 3: had the Education secretary, her name is Linda McMahon, and 279 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 3: she gave a speech and said, teachers, you are not 280 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 3: obligated to join a teachers union. You don't have to 281 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 3: do that because all of that money is being used 282 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: to fund this anti American propaganda. So as great as 283 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: President Trump's speech was, unless we tackle the issue that's 284 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: happening in our public schools, we're going to lose the 285 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: day because now they're coming after all of us. And 286 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: that's the bottom line here. With the men's hockey team, 287 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: their only punishment was they won the gold medal medal 288 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 3: and they stood at attention when the national anthem was 289 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 3: being played. By the way, did you catch I don't 290 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 3: know if you caught the celebration of Miami Dyllan. You know, 291 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 3: they were at a big night club and the guys 292 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: went out there Miami Beach. You know, they got all 293 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: the fancy nightclubs, and they went to an adult establishment. 294 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 3: It looked like it was very popular from what I 295 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: could tell. 296 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 5: I've not seen this. 297 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 3: Well yeah, well they well they're in there and everybody's 298 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: drinking their adult libations and they have young ladies scantily clad. 299 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 6: Polls. 300 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 3: If that's helpful, I'm picking up where they were, all right, 301 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 3: It wasn't church. May have been close, but it wasn't church. 302 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 3: And I noticed that as soon as they started then 303 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, they started playing the national anthem 304 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: in the in the nightclub and some bod. He panned 305 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: the video around and the dancing girls were standing at 306 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 3: attention by their polls, hands over their hearts. Right, God 307 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 3: bless America. God bless the dancing girls. That's why I'm 308 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 3: telling you America is back in the Democrats. They hate it, 309 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: They absolutely hate it.

This is from the reporting of The 334 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 3: Hill dot Com. Two Republican lawmakers are floating an amendment 335 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 3: to an abortion bill that would bring homicide charges against 336 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 3: expecting mothers who choose to terminate their pregnancies. This was 337 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: House Bill five seventy and Senate Bill seven thirty eight. 338 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 3: According to Nashville's local TV affiliate WSMV, they got a 339 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: hold of the text and here's what the Republican lawmakers 340 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 3: in Tennessee want to do. The amendment reads like this, 341 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: all preborn children should be protected with the same criminal 342 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 3: and civil laws protecting the lies of born persons by 343 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 3: repealing provisions that permit natal homicide and assault, which is 344 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: what they're calling abortion so according to The Hill, by 345 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: treating abortions like homicides under the law, mothers would be 346 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 3: exposed to charges that carry sentences of up to death 347 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 3: or life in prison. Tennessee already has one of the 348 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 3: country's most strict abortion bands. Performing the procedure is a 349 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: Class C felony in Tennessee, resulting in up to fifteen 350 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: years in prison and fines for doctors. The amendment does 351 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: not make exceptions for rape or incest, but does exclude 352 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: life saving procedures and miscarriages from prosecution. That's according to 353 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: The tennesseean newspaper. The Hill reached down to Barrett and 354 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: Pody for comment, Pody telling the TV station the amendment 355 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,959 Speaker 3: does not currently have significant support in the Senate, adding 356 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 3: he planned to sound out colleagues in the coming days. 357 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: Senator Pody says, we want to be very open and 358 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: have a conversation, whether it's controversial or not. Let's hear 359 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: from all sides to see where we are as Tennessee 360 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 3: and where we stand talking to some colleagues. We don't 361 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 3: have the votes to move something like that in the 362 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 3: Senate at this moment. So the issue here is whether 363 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 3: or not let's just say a woman decides, for whatever 364 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: reason to go and abort her baby, and if she 365 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 3: does that, if this becomes if this is introduced and 366 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 3: becomes a law, then she would be she would be 367 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 3: committing a crime that could lead to her her execution 368 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 3: or life in prison, which is the penalty for killing 369 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: somebody in the state of Tennessee. And it is creating 370 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 3: a firestorm of controversy across the state. And in some cases, 371 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: you have some in the pro life community that stand 372 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 3: opposed to this because they believe that the mothers are 373 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: in fact the you know, these moms that are going 374 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 3: to abort their babies are in fact victims themselves. There 375 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: are others, though, who say, wait a second. If you're 376 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: saying that this unborn child is a child, and you 377 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 3: abort that child, you kill that child, then by golly, 378 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: that's murder, and you've got somebody's got to pay for 379 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 3: that crime. So it is quite the debate that's being 380 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 3: had across the state of Tennessee right now. And I 381 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 3: just find it interesting because some within the pro life 382 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: community actually oppose the significance of this legislation and they say, no, no, no, 383 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: we should not be treating these women as criminals. So 384 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 3: curious how you feel about that. That's it's a fascinating, 385 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: fascinating conversation. We will see if this legislation moves forward. 386 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 3: But I think it's interesting because the reason I say 387 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: it's interesting, it's a super majority of Republicans that control 388 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 3: the Senate and House, so if they wanted the legislation 389 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 3: to go through, they could go through. They got the votes, 390 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 3: they have more than enough votes. But even some Republicans 391 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 3: believe that this would be a bridge too far and 392 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 3: that there's no way that that moms who decide they 393 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 3: want to kill their babies, and look, I mean that's 394 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: what it is, right, you're if you're committing an abortion, 395 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: if you're having an abortion, you're killing your unborn child. 396 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 3: And I know there are some in the pro life 397 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: community that say we shouldn't use that sort of language 398 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: because it's insensitive. Yeah, but you know, it's like, oh, 399 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 3: what's the word I'm looking for yet, murder? I'm just 400 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 3: I'm just saying so anyway, well, let you know how 401 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: all of that turns out. But it looks like that 402 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: legislation is really not going anywhere, certainly starting up a 403 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: lot of controversy right now on whether or not the 404 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 3: women who abort their babies, because again, if you're going 405 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: to punish the here's the thing, if you're going to 406 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 3: punish the doctor, why would you not also punish the 407 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 3: person who is who is aborting the baby. That would 408 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 3: be the argument there. Nine oh one two six zero 409 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 3: five nine two six hour telephone number. That's nine oh 410 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 3: one two six zero five to nine two six. All right, 411 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: this crazy story out of out of Milan, France, and 412 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 3: it involves Vogue magazine. You know that's one of the 413 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 3: Gurly Magaze. That's the girly magazines, right, the fashion magazine, 414 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 3: you know, the Gurly mags. 415 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 5: Sorry, that's I think there's a difference there. 416 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,959 Speaker 3: There's a slight difference. One ass clothing the other doesn't 417 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 3: this This Gurly magazine has clothing. Vogue magazine. Anyway, a 418 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: former editor of Vogue was heading over to Milan. You know, 419 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 3: they do fashion week, and they used to do that, 420 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: or they still do it, I guess in New York City. 421 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 3: And it was always funny because I would walk home 422 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: through the fashion district and they would wear some of 423 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 3: the craziest stuff. One guy had a pompadour that was 424 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 3: about two feet high. I don't know how he got 425 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 3: that hair that big, but you know, they were all 426 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 3: everybody was. You know, it's a big deal. So anyway, 427 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 3: Gabrielle Johnson, Gabriella Johnson is the former editor for Vogue, 428 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: and she was heading over to Milan for fashion Week. 429 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 3: So she booked, as I suppose the editor of Vogue 430 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 3: would do, or the former editor of Vogue would do. 431 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 3: She booked a first class ticket. And I fly first class. 432 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: That's pretty much all the time. Not that big of 433 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 3: a deal, but you pay for an experience, and you 434 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 3: also pay for a little bit of extra space and 435 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: a little bit of peace and quiet. Well, miss Johnson 436 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 3: was enraged because it turns out she was the only 437 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: black person in the first class cabin, and it was 438 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 3: a smaller first class cabin, so there weren't that many 439 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 3: and she was surrounded. There were six seats, five of 440 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 3: them were occupied by middle aged white guys. And I'm 441 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 3: not sure this was an international This must have been 442 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: a connecting flight, because those international flights, those are those 443 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: have very large first class seating areas, and especially the 444 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: ones overseas, because you get your own little like a 445 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 3: little cubicle and you can lay down. You've got a 446 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 3: bed there, you've got your TV. It's really nice. And anyway, Della, 447 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: when we took here, I took your grandparents over to Israel. 448 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: We flew Virgin Atlantic and everybody had their own little cubicles. 449 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: They had old bar that you could hold, you know, 450 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 3: chairs the whole nine yards. That was the Austin Powers trip, yes, 451 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 3: where they played the theme song to Shaft as they yeah, 452 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 3: we don't have time today. So anyway's really a nice thing. 453 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 3: I've never really even noticed skin color or before, right, 454 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 3: I didn't think that was a big deal. So miss 455 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 3: Johnson is writing on her social media platform and she 456 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: said that she was surrounded by these five middle aged 457 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: white guys. She was the lone black woman, and she 458 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 3: surmised that because she is black, that she would be 459 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 3: the one subjected to bad service, substandard service, because the 460 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: flight attendant was also a white dude. And so she's 461 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: wailing about this, and so she immediately started suffering these 462 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 3: microaggressions as soon as she sat down in first class, 463 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: and she was so enraged that she jumped up and 464 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 3: demanded the airline immediately downgrade downgrade her to a business 465 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: class ticket. How dare you? How dare you serve me champagne? Sir? 466 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 3: How do I want a cup of water? I mean, 467 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 3: it's insane. So she said that. She goes on to 468 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 3: say she would gladly sacrifice physical comfort to protect her 469 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 3: emotional and mental well being. She slapped crazy nuts and 470 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: she's telling us anyway, I was trying to figure out 471 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 3: what airline, and so I went on her social media. 472 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: I'm like, what airline was it? She won't say what 473 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 3: airline it was. She also did not disclose the nature 474 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: of the micro aggression that actually set her off. And 475 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 3: I'm going to take a stab of this. I think 476 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 3: they forgot to give her one of the hot hand towels. 477 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 3: They're very refreshing, by the way, right, and they're lemon scented. 478 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: Put them to your face. It's kind of like getting 479 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 3: a facial, right ah. And then you can wash your 480 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 3: hands with it, and they come back with tongs and 481 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 3: they pluck it right out of your out of your seat. 482 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: They probably forgot. I'm wondering, though, Dylan, do you think 483 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 3: she had an even larger microaggression when they ended up 484 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: giving her empty first class set to another middle aged 485 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 3: white guy. 486 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 5: She made herself enraged at that point. She did it 487 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 5: to herself. 488 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: Where's my chicken parm meal with that's gluten free that 489 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 3: I ordered? Mam, you're in business class. You can have 490 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: pretzels from peanuts. 491 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 5: A small cant, small can of. 492 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 3: Coke, tiny cat. Yeah, and you can't even ask for 493 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 3: the whole can, right, They just pour you a little 494 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 3: droplet of them. Oh, I was flying first Classroom United 495 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: yesterday and uh oh, I was actually seated next to 496 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,959 Speaker 3: a black lady. We had a great conversation. We were 497 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 3: trying to figure out where the plugins were for the devices, 498 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 3: and we were both using our cameras. It was like 499 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 3: tag team. We never could figure it out, and we 500 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 3: had the big widescreen TVs. These are first class problems, seriously, 501 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 3: but we got it, so hold on, this is funny. 502 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 3: So the flight attendant came through and she had like 503 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 3: a little champagne flutes and she's that's what they put 504 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 3: the water, And she goes, would you like, would you 505 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 3: like they can call it tap water? What do they 506 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 3: call it? They called it something else, but it was 507 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: tamp water or sparkling. And I said, oh, I had 508 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 3: this sparkly. I like club soda, and I was parched. 509 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: I was very thirsty. So I chug it and it's champagne, 510 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 3: and it was like you couldn't. I was like in 511 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 3: mid gulp, when you realize. 512 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 5: That you can't stop mid gold.

We have. 519 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 5: Bottled water? 520 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 3: Is that what they served back on the back. I've 521 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 3: often wondered. 522 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 5: Bottled water. 523 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 9: Wow, no champagne, but there might be champagne. You have 524 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 9: to request it. You may have to pay for it too, definitely. Yeah, 525 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 9: they credit cards.

We talked about this 558 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 3: on Monday, Jimmy's Famous Seafood, and we're gonna be getting 559 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 3: the owner on the show to talk about what all's 560 00:34:54,480 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 3: transpired since they politely invited those who appose America to 561 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 3: go blank themselves. And so now Jimmy's Famous Seafood going 562 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 3: viral and the Baltimore Sun is coming out and is 563 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 3: now attacking the restaurant. I mean, these folks have been 564 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 3: around for ages and it's just really, really shameful how 565 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 3: they're being treated. God bless Jimmy's for at least being 566 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 3: pro America. The Huntington Post sending out a tweet and 567 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 3: this was the caption of waiving the American flag or 568 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,280 Speaker 3: chanting USA turns you off right now, You're not alone, 569 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 3: And of course Jimmy's Famous Seafood responded by saying, go 570 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 3: blank yourself. I'm still going to chuckle out of that. 571 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 3: The exchange went viral. Are you ready for this? Over 572 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 3: seventeen million views in forty eight hours. Seventeen million, and 573 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 3: so now now people are attacking the restaurant. By the way, 574 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 3: some Maryland lawmakers are weighing in. This is from Kathy Zaliga. 575 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 3: If my apologies, if I butchered your last name. There 576 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 3: Camfy restaurants and businesses are no longer afraid of the 577 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 3: woke mob, although Jimmy Seafood has never been afraid. Shop 578 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 3: and dine where they share your values. And you know, 579 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 3: that's an interesting thing that we don't talk a lot 580 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 3: about on this program, but it really is important to 581 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 3: shop and dine at places that share your values. Why 582 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 3: would you allow your money to be used to advance 583 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 3: some sort of a left wing cause? Why would you 584 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 3: do that? Of course, Jimmy's being bashed by the Baltimore 585 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 3: Sun and there, of course that's a far left newspaper newsrag. 586 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 3: They hate everybody one headline. Foul language is never helpful. Well, no, 587 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 3: but it's meant to make a point, and I think 588 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 3: the point the point is very clear. So God Boss 589 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 3: you Jimmy's Famous Seafood for really saying what I think 590 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 3: everybody in the country, even a lot of you Baptists 591 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 3: were thinking when it came to the Huffington Post and 592 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 3: all these other folks that are out there attacking our 593 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: boys on that hockey team. It's just really shameful. But 594 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 3: so anyway, we love to hear from our Baltimore listeners 595 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 3: on WCBM, but I think a lot of people are 596 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 3: ordering ordering crab cakes. Oh is it? Oh yeah, Jimmy said, 597 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 3: if you're on the hockey team, the US men's hockey team, 598 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 3: you're getting free crab cakes for life. You metter believe, 599 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 3: and I hear they're very good crab cakes, but apparently 600 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 3: they ship. So I hope all you folks, if you're 601 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 3: next time you're having seafood, you might want to order 602 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 3: from Jimmy's and have them delivered. All right, nine oh 603 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 3: one two six to zero five nine two six hour 604 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 3: telephone number.

It's 625 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars. 626 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 10: Amaritan. 627 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 3: You know what I find really interesting when you look 628 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,839 Speaker 3: at the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, and I had 629 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 3: had these conversations with our crew about a week or 630 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 3: two after the assassination of Charlie. By the way, welcome 631 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 3: to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. I am your host, Todd. 632 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 3: Great to be back with you. But I told the crew, 633 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 3: I said, because people at the time we're talking, oh 634 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 3: my god, Turning Point USA is going to explode, is 635 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,280 Speaker 3: going to be all over the place and we're gonna 636 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 3: have I mean, it's it's the launch of of a movement. 637 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 3: And I said, I I don't know about that. And 638 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 3: I told the crew, I said, I'm not going to 639 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 3: say this on air, but I don't think this is 640 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 3: going to be a long lived entity. And the reason why, 641 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,319 Speaker 3: and it's nothing nefarious at all, but the reason why 642 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 3: is because Turning Point USA was really built on and 643 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 3: around Charlie Kirk. I mean, Charlie Kirk was Turning Point 644 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 3: USA so much so that one of the big one 645 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 3: of the big challenges and this was this was a 646 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 3: challenge when when Charlie was alive, is that there was 647 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 3: so little infrastructure. So a lot of the times when 648 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,440 Speaker 3: you would have a Turning Point USA chapter startup on 649 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 3: a university campus by the end of the semester and 650 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 3: be gone, there was no infrastructure at all. There was 651 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 3: really nothing funneling people or you know, information or resources 652 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 3: to these university clubs, and that became a big problem. 653 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 3: And yeah, we certainly saw a massive growth of chapters 654 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 3: after the assassination, but the reality is, I'm not sure 655 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 3: that that's going to last. And it was interesting as 656 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 3: I heard President Trump talking about Charlie during the State 657 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 3: of the Union address, it really moved me because I thought, 658 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 3: for said, wow, it's yeah, that happened in September. It's 659 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 3: not that you forget about it. But the country's moving 660 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 3: on and turning point at least up until now, has 661 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 3: not met the moment. And I think that's shocked a 662 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,320 Speaker 3: lot of people. I am not surprised by that, and 663 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I wish them nothing but the 664 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 3: very best, and I hope they I hope they can 665 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 3: rally back, and I hope they can find that leadership 666 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,480 Speaker 3: they so desperately need, because right now they are wandering 667 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 3: in a wilderness and it is it is not a 668 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,400 Speaker 3: good thing. They are platforming people that they should not 669 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 3: be platforming. You know, we were we were talking a 670 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 3: couple of days ago when I was at NRB with 671 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 3: with some folks about the rise of anti Semitism and 672 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 3: outright jew hatred within the conservative movement, and those people 673 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 3: have no business being platformed by Turning Point USA or 674 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,799 Speaker 3: any other conservative group for that matter. And it's incredibly 675 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 3: troubling what's happening. But I say all of that because 676 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 3: there's there's a fierce war that's going on right now. 677 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 3: And you've got Candice Owens and Megan Kelly and Tucker 678 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 3: Carlson going at it against Ben Shapiro, and I don't 679 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,719 Speaker 3: know Mark Levin would be another one. I've sort of 680 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 3: stayed out of the fight. I've observed it. I've weighed 681 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 3: in here and there, but it is not my job 682 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 3: to police the so called social media influencers. That's not 683 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 3: what I do here. I can tell you one thing. 684 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 3: One thing I can tell you about Candice Owens and 685 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 3: Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson and all of that crowd. 686 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 3: I can tell you one thing. Their opinions change all 687 00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 3: the time, but my opinion has never wavered. Look at 688 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 3: Mark Levin. What Mark Levin has believed and has spoken 689 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 3: on his radio program for a decade, well over a decade, 690 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 3: It has never wavered. What Ben Shapiro has said on 691 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 3: his short lived radio program, it never wavered his message. 692 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 3: And so you do wonder if you're one of these 693 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 3: so called conservative media influencers and you're out there, and 694 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 3: is it possible that your opinions are actually based more 695 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,920 Speaker 3: so on how much money you're getting as opposed to 696 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 3: what you just truly believe, your personal belief system, your 697 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 3: your value system. I know that's a question that all 698 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 3: of those folks have to answer for themselves. But I 699 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,680 Speaker 3: say all of that to mention that, you know, not 700 00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:33,400 Speaker 3: having a youth organization that is and not having a 701 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 3: leader of a youth organization that is out there pounding 702 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 3: the message home to young people, that's a dangerous thing 703 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 3: because right now what we're looking at with and there 704 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 3: are more schools today that are letting the kids out, 705 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 3: they're using school resources, your tax dollars to protest ice 706 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 3: and god knows what else. That that sort of voice 707 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 3: is still on the school campus. The question is how 708 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 3: long will the conservative voice be on those campuses. And 709 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 3: by the way, what sort of resources are these kids 710 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,920 Speaker 3: getting that are starting these I think they're calling him 711 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 3: Club America at the high school level now. And turning 712 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 3: point USA chapters on these college campuses. I want to 713 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 3: play some audio. This just happened in Florida in the 714 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 3: state House. It's shocking. You're going to hear the voice 715 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:32,680 Speaker 3: of Florida State Representative Ashley Gant, and she is enraged 716 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 3: because the state of Florida wants to honor Charlie Kirk, 717 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 3: and she is opposed to that. Take a lesson. 718 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,439 Speaker 11: We want to talk about exercise and free speechlet's ball 719 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 11: so the First Amendment protects free speech. We don't need 720 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 11: this day of remembrance for a man that was mediocre 721 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 11: and racist, and I say mediocre at best. He was 722 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 11: not a Floridian. He had no ties to Florida other 723 00:45:54,520 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 11: than owning property. We have a number of Floridians, both 724 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 11: individuals and organizations that promote free speech that is not 725 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 11: divisive like this individual was. If we want to talk 726 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 11: about free speech, let's talk about being precise with our words. 727 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 11: When we hear assassination, that's typically related to a person 728 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 11: and a political position. Charlie Kirk died from gun violence. Okay. 729 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 11: We continuously advocate for gun policy legislation that would ensure 730 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 11: that people that probably shouldn't have a gun don't have 731 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 11: a gun. So was his passing tragic for those who 732 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 11: love him, Absolutely, there is no denying that. But he 733 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 11: was not assassinated, and words being accurate matters. It was 734 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 11: a death by gun violence. That is an issue here 735 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 11: in the country that we should all be on the 736 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 11: same page with addressing. And if we want to talk 737 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 11: about free speech, you know, a lot of people say 738 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,320 Speaker 11: that was some white on white crime. Why are we 739 00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 11: addressing it in that regard? 740 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 5: What are we doing about? Why don't like crime? 741 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 11: So Charlie Kirk was not someone that children in the 742 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 11: state of Florida should be subjected to honoring. 743 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 3: All Right, there you go, folks. That is an elected 744 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 3: representative in the state of Florida. And again this is 745 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 3: nothing new. We've certainly reported on a lot of this rhetoric. 746 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 3: But the fact that these people that they have no 747 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 3: they've got no shame, they're more than happy to go 748 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 3: out there and ridicule. Imagine if somebody would have brought up, 749 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 3: for example, Martin Luther King Jr. Imagine for just a 750 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:45,800 Speaker 3: moment somebody bringing up MLKA Junior and his extra material affairs, 751 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 3: which is all very well documented. What would happen if 752 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 3: you were to do that during the on MLK Day 753 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,839 Speaker 3: or his ties to communism, What do you think would 754 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 3: happen out there? How do you think? How do you 755 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,480 Speaker 3: think that person would be handled? They would be run 756 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 3: out of town. That's exactly what would have happened. They 757 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 3: would have been run out of town. Nine oh one 758 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Our telephone number. 759 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 3: Let's go to the phones, Mike and Memphis listening to 760 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,839 Speaker 3: us on KWAM. What's to weigh in on TPUSA? Mike, 761 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 3: what's on your mind? 762 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 12: And greetings Todd. Yet, I would say that it's not 763 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 12: a leadership issue. It's a message issue. And the fact 764 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 12: is these children are very astute, they're very able to 765 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 12: read a Bible, and they're not Christian Zionists. They're Christian. 766 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 12: They're not all for Israel. And that's the problem is 767 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 12: that you're pushing a pro Israel agenda. They're all about christ. 768 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:46,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's you know, so look you when you talk 769 00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,560 Speaker 3: about the messaging here, what sort of message do you 770 00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 3: think TPUSA ought to have. 771 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 12: I think Charlie Kurtin nailed it in the last few 772 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 12: months that he was on He was talking about the 773 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 12: stand for the truth, and when he pointed out the 774 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 12: genocide in God and the government of the United States 775 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 12: being controlled by the government of Israel. 776 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 3: Where's your proof of that, Mike? Hold on? And by 777 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: the way, what about the genocide that happened against the 778 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,040 Speaker 3: Israeli people in October? What about that? 779 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 12: Yeah, we discussed that that was a false flag allowed 780 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 12: they stood down for hours. 781 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 3: They are so those bodies, hold on, hold on it. 782 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 3: So the bodies were not real. The babies that were 783 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 3: shoved into the ovens and baked, that was all fake. 784 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:25,839 Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying. 785 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,000 Speaker 12: I don't know about babies put in ovens, but I 786 00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 12: know that Israel routinely kills their own people. 787 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 3: Know they How do you know that?

Let's go to 817 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 3: the phones. Here, Atlanta B is listening. To us, Hi, B, 818 00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:13,879 Speaker 3: what's on your mind? 819 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 13: Hey was going on? I just was listening to your 820 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 13: station about pp USA, and yeah, it exploded, man, right 821 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 13: after that horrible ancidym man, it has seemed to kind 822 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 13: of bluddle down. I've noticed some kind of powern you 823 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 13: have and it was very exciting. They're right there forgetting. 824 00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 3: What you say. Well, I certainly think so, and I 825 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 3: think a lot of people were wanting to do something. 826 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 3: They were wanting to continue the mission, and I think 827 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 3: it's still strong. But again, when you look at the 828 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,959 Speaker 3: longevity right now, the leadership is just it's just not there. 829 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,320 Speaker 14: Yeah, No, I definitely agree. And I was listen to 830 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 14: the last gentleman I believe his name was Mike right 831 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 14: from Memphis. And I don't sounding you haven't had conversations before, 832 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,239 Speaker 14: but I do want to ask you this, all right, 833 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,439 Speaker 14: how much and it's just a I don't have any 834 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 14: It's just an open question. How how much of this 835 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 14: dwindling down as TPUSA do you think has anything to 836 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,800 Speaker 14: do with the state of visual Do you think he 837 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 14: has anything to do with the kind of differences and 838 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 14: you know, and maybe maybe the young some of the 839 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 14: younger crowd. I guess maybe that just kind of isn't 840 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 14: I don't know, Maybe they're just so much looking out 841 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,879 Speaker 14: for their own interest here in the State that when 842 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 14: I don't know, I don't know too much about the 843 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 14: pro Israel message that I guess that TPUSA pushes. I 844 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 14: don't know if if there is one, but I don't know. 845 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 14: Maybe do you think that that Israel has any type 846 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,440 Speaker 14: of influence on what could be happening with TPOs No. 847 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 10: I don't. 848 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 3: I don't believe at all, to be perfectly blunt about it. 849 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 3: I And again, when you look at support for the 850 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 3: Nation of Israel, this is nothing new. This nation, and 851 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,000 Speaker 3: especially conservatives have supported the Nation of Israel for generations. 852 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,960 Speaker 3: So my concern is this, and I think this is 853 00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 3: what we need to look at. When you have these 854 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,240 Speaker 3: social media influencers like, for example, a Tucker Carlson, who's 855 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 3: I'm just asking questions, just asking questions. When you have 856 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:27,520 Speaker 3: somebody like a Tucker Carlson who has changed his position 857 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 3: on an issue, Mike, I think it deserves an answer. 858 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,800 Speaker 3: Why did you change your position? Are you are you 859 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 3: being funded by organizations that might oppose Israel or for 860 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 3: and you know what be just for the sake of 861 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 3: the argument, I'll flip it. Let's just say that you've 862 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,359 Speaker 3: been anti Israel for you know, for years and years, 863 00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you become pro Israel. I 864 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,719 Speaker 3: would be curious to know, Okay, well, why did you 865 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:56,000 Speaker 3: change your opinion? Is somebody is somebody paying you to 866 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,600 Speaker 3: change your opinion? And I think those are legitimate questions 867 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 3: that we all to be asking. 868 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 14: No, Yeah, I think definitely. You know, it's it's kind 869 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 14: of clear these days to see that our government, at 870 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,840 Speaker 14: least individuals in our government, you know, on both sides, 871 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 14: the kind of you know, they're kind of bought, you know, 872 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 14: the lobbying and all that stuff. I think people have 873 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,360 Speaker 14: seen enough of that to kind of kind of understand 874 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 14: that there's money pushed behind these the congressional seats, no. 875 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 3: Doubt about it. 876 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 14: I mean, it's pretty no doubt about it about that, right, Yeah. 877 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 14: And it's just something that has not been in the 878 00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 14: open side. I truly just think, and let me ask 879 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 14: you this before I say what I think, do you 880 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,680 Speaker 14: do you think that like, like let's say my for example, 881 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 14: let's say somebody likes Mike right, and but he has 882 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 14: a little bit more I guess a little bit more 883 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,480 Speaker 14: interested in it. But let's just say another younger person 884 00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,000 Speaker 14: or whatever. 885 00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,560 Speaker 3: Let's get to the question. Let's get to the question. 886 00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,680 Speaker 14: I know, yeah, yeah, do you think that uh, do 887 00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,359 Speaker 14: you think that you wouldn't think that like they would 888 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 14: like hate Israel? Ask any. 889 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 3: Look. I think a lot of this is being blown 890 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 3: out of proportion. You know, Israel is a strategic partner 891 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 3: in the Middle East. Israel is also a longtime ally 892 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 3: of the United States, and we have written treaties in place. 893 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,080 Speaker 3: So for me, I'm looking at this now. I am 894 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,720 Speaker 3: also a Christian person, and I believe, as a Christian 895 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,479 Speaker 3: man that we have a responsibility as Christians to stand 896 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 3: alongside Israel. I do believe that they are the Jews, 897 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 3: are the chosen people, as the Bible tells us. But 898 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,879 Speaker 3: that is not influencing my political support of Israel, which 899 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,720 Speaker 3: is entirely on a strategic need to have an ally 900 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 3: in that part that region of the world. I got 901 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,359 Speaker 3: no problem with that at all. B I gotta run. 902 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,960 Speaker 3: Thank you for the call. Let's go to Gary and 903 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,239 Speaker 3: Daytona Beach. Gary, what's on your mind? 904 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,719 Speaker 10: Too much? Be lifting there and unpacked in some of 905 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,399 Speaker 10: that time thanks for taking my call involving a miss 906 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:12,320 Speaker 10: Dant representative from my place I call home, Florida. The 907 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,000 Speaker 10: first word out of her mouth to me would be 908 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:17,640 Speaker 10: that I was a racist if I told her that 909 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 10: Martin Luther wasn't assassinated, it was gun violence. It was 910 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 10: just gun violence, ma'am. And if I said something like 911 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,920 Speaker 10: that to her, I would be a racist in her eyes. 912 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,440 Speaker 10: So it's pretty rich of her to go to the 913 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 10: white on white and gun violence over assassination of Charlie Cooks. 914 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny that you mentioned that, Gary, because 915 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 3: there's been a lot of people accusing President Trump of 916 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:55,200 Speaker 3: being racist without any proof whatsoever. And you do have 917 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 3: to wonder, you know, at what point does that just 918 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,359 Speaker 3: lose all because that used to be a big thing. 919 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 3: You never wanted to be called a racist, and now 920 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 3: every every time a white person breathes, you're accused of 921 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 3: being a racist. 922 00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 10: And you're right on TP on turning point, they still 923 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 10: are doing a lot of registrations of young people, but 924 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 10: I don't see as much of like you mentioned it 925 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 10: sticking around in a lot of uh. But they're giving 926 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,919 Speaker 10: a lot of registrations from young people, but it's gonna, 927 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 10: like you said, it's gonna take more than that, a. 928 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 3: Lot more than that. And they've got to have that 929 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 3: infrastruction and they don't have it. They didn't have it 930 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,280 Speaker 3: when Charlie was alive, and so that's it's gonna be 931 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 3: a challenge.

But they had their own country 985 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 2: since the beginning of time. 986 01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 3: Well, yes, and as Governor Hockey gotten a little bit 987 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:45,480 Speaker 3: of hot water when he said, according to the Bible, 988 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,640 Speaker 3: they should have a lot more land than what they 989 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 3: already have.

What's 994 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 3: making this even more disgusting is that you've got a 995 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 3: lot of these so called conservative influencers that are being 996 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:15,840 Speaker 3: well funded by some of these by some of these 997 01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,760 Speaker 3: Muslim countries. And so this is not something that's organic. 998 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 3: I believe this is something that is very well orchestrated 999 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:23,840 Speaker 3: and very well planned. 1000 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 2: It's a shame because and like I said, they've done 1001 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 2: nothing wrong. And there are SI brothers and sisters. You know, 1002 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,720 Speaker 2: we just have we have the same Bibles. 1003 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:41,960 Speaker 3: Just continues, Amen, my friend, Amen, Ray, I got to run, 1004 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,960 Speaker 3: but thank you for that call. Just a few moments ago, 1005 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:49,200 Speaker 3: Jade Vance, the Vice president, he was speaking at an 1006 01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 3: event in Wisconsin. Let's take a listen, and. 1007 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,960 Speaker 16: To my right is some Republicans, but mostly the Democrats. 1008 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 16: And so I see the reaction of all the congressional 1009 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 16: Democrats and it's one of the most amazing things I've 1010 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 16: ever seen. So you say, like, for example, you have 1011 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 16: this beautiful little girl, had such a sweet moment with 1012 01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,400 Speaker 16: her dad. You may remember she was probably. 1013 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:10,919 Speaker 3: Six years old. 1014 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 16: She had been assaulted by an illegal immigrant. She had 1015 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 16: had a very bad, I think, medical prognosis, but it 1016 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:18,920 Speaker 16: turned out that she was okay. This six year old 1017 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,480 Speaker 16: girl hurt by a human being who never should have 1018 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 16: been in this country in the first place, who was 1019 01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,440 Speaker 16: led into this country by Joe Biden the Democrats, and 1020 01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,840 Speaker 16: she's hugging her dad and she's so excited, and you 1021 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 16: can tell, and I think everybody's heart feels very you know, 1022 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,480 Speaker 16: you get that warm and fuzzy feeling. And then I 1023 01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:40,520 Speaker 16: look over the Congressional Democrats and they're just scollon. They 1024 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 16: cannot clap their hands for a six year old who 1025 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,040 Speaker 16: survived an attack from an illegal alien. 1026 01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 7: What is that? 1027 01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 16: What kind of a person can't stand up and cheer 1028 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 16: for an innocent young girl who's doing well, who's showing 1029 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 16: the entire country strength and resilience. And then the President said, 1030 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 16: have this line. I'm not going to get it exactly right, 1031 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,479 Speaker 16: but he said, if you believe, stand up and cheer, 1032 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 16: if you believe that the American government's first priority should 1033 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 16: be to look after American citizens instead of illegal aliens. 1034 01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 16: And all the Republicans, including Derek and everybody else, stands 1035 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 16: up and starts cheering, and then you look over the Democrats, 1036 01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 16: complete silence, no reaction at all. The one thing that 1037 01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 16: got at least some of the Democrats to stand up 1038 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,680 Speaker 16: and cheer was the Olympic hockey team, which were of 1039 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 16: course very proud of. But you got to ask yourself, 1040 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 16: ladies and gentlemen. What is it about a political party 1041 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,400 Speaker 16: that cannot stand up in cheer for a six year 1042 01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:42,920 Speaker 16: old girl who survived in attack. What is it about 1043 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:45,760 Speaker 16: a political party that can't stand up and cheer for 1044 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:49,280 Speaker 16: the fact that we have rising wages and low inflation 1045 01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:52,320 Speaker 16: for the first time in a very long time in 1046 01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:53,520 Speaker 16: the United States of America. 1047 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 3: All right, that is the Vice President speaking in Wisconsin. 1048 01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:01,280 Speaker 3: I want to bring into the conversation Republican strategist Luke's symbol. Luke. 1049 01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,680 Speaker 3: You heard the Vice President just a few minutes ago, 1050 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 3: and I think that this State of the Union address 1051 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 3: is really going to go down in history, and I 1052 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,400 Speaker 3: think it could have an impact in the midterm elections. 1053 01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 3: What say you? 1054 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 17: I completely agree. Donald President Trump revealed to the country 1055 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:25,960 Speaker 17: just how despicable elected Democrats are, the vast majority of 1056 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:31,760 Speaker 17: which refused to stand to support American citizens over illegal aliens. 1057 01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:36,720 Speaker 17: They refuse to support the cleaning up of our healthcare mess. 1058 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 17: They refused to support cracking down on crime and the 1059 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 17: economic policies that have turned this country around in a year. 1060 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 17: They are radicals, and the Governor of Virginia to be 1061 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 17: given to be giving the Democrat address after the State 1062 01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:57,000 Speaker 17: of the Union should tell the entire country. When these 1063 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 17: Democrats run and they try to sound moderate, they are 1064 01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,640 Speaker 17: lying to you. They are radicals. They are out of 1065 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,240 Speaker 17: touch with the American people. And Donald Trump revealed that 1066 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 17: not only to the country, but to the world. And 1067 01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,200 Speaker 17: I agree with you, Todd. I think, honestly, it was 1068 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,800 Speaker 17: the best State of the Union speech I have ever seen. 1069 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 3: Here's what I don't get is the Democrat response. First 1070 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,800 Speaker 3: of all, they said they had a rally out on 1071 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 3: the mall, and they had another event which was inside 1072 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,920 Speaker 3: the rally on the mall. I think there were actually 1073 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 3: more reporters there than actual spectators, and that was a 1074 01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:31,760 Speaker 3: complete debacle. But the other one that featured all of 1075 01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 3: these furries and people dressed up and dancing. I mean, 1076 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,480 Speaker 3: if I'm Democrat leadership and I've been hearing that Democrat 1077 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 3: leadership is horrified by the images and the optics of 1078 01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 3: what just went down over the past forty eight hours. 1079 01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 17: Sure they're horrified by the optics, but that is their base. 1080 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 7: That is. 1081 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:55,440 Speaker 17: The elected Democrats all support that. Apparently the vast majority 1082 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,560 Speaker 17: of them do. Anyway, And when you're looking at races 1083 01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 17: across the country. When you see that Jasmine Crockett is 1084 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 17: leading in the Democrat polls in Texas to be the 1085 01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:08,959 Speaker 17: next Democrat nominee for Senate from Texas, that just tells 1086 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 17: you everything you need to know about the modern Democrat Party. 1087 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 17: They're anti American, they don't support positive economic policies, they 1088 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 17: don't support cracking down on crime, and they put illegal 1089 01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 17: aliens over the interests of American citizens. And we've been 1090 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,320 Speaker 17: talking about that, but now it is on full display 1091 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 17: for everybody to see it. 1092 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I think the first ads 1093 01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 3: have already started popping up of that of the President's 1094 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,480 Speaker 3: question and then the reaction to it. I thought it 1095 01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,720 Speaker 3: was interesting Chemmick actually sat with the Democrats and she's 1096 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,120 Speaker 3: stood up, which is a great visual because she's right 1097 01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 3: in the thick of all these Democrats and they're all 1098 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 3: sitting down. 1099 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 17: Wearing her bright pink or red in the middle of 1100 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,240 Speaker 17: the Democrats, so you could see her. You know what's interesting, 1101 01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,160 Speaker 17: Todd is I've known her for many years when I 1102 01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,680 Speaker 17: was on in leadership with the Young Republicans for Tennessee 1103 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 17: and we would go to these national conferences. She was 1104 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,600 Speaker 17: hugely supportive of Young Republicans. Was a young Republican herself, 1105 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:05,720 Speaker 17: or still is, and I had so many friends texting me, hey, 1106 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 17: who's this, Who's this? What she did has risen her 1107 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 17: national profile, and so many Trump supporters who did not 1108 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,439 Speaker 17: know who she is appreciate her willingness to go into 1109 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,760 Speaker 17: the lines then and sit in a sea of Democrats 1110 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,360 Speaker 17: and be the only one to stand up and support 1111 01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,880 Speaker 17: these common sense policies. The optics there were excellent, and 1112 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:28,439 Speaker 17: I congratulate her for doing something. 1113 01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:31,000 Speaker 3: It was a brilliant I mean, just that whole night, 1114 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,600 Speaker 3: and I just I'm hoping it was all organic, but 1115 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,800 Speaker 3: I don't think it was now and I would. I mean, 1116 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,480 Speaker 3: it may have been, but just think for a moment here, 1117 01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 3: this could be a glorious thing. If all of this 1118 01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:45,919 Speaker 3: was actually planned out. That was a brilliant plan. 1119 01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,000 Speaker 17: One of my favorite parts of the night watching it. 1120 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 17: I was watching on YouTube and flipping amongst the various 1121 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,480 Speaker 17: camera angles, and the Democrats started looking around at each 1122 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 17: other nervously, and they would lean over. Should we stand up? 1123 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,120 Speaker 17: Should we clap? They didn't know what to do. They 1124 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 17: were so embarrassed. And to have these immigrants who are 1125 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:11,680 Speaker 17: now congress people shouting at the President elon Omar to leave. 1126 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:16,240 Speaker 17: I mean, they were so disrespectful to President Trump. If 1127 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 17: a Republican had done that, they would have been thrown 1128 01:08:18,280 --> 01:08:19,200 Speaker 17: out of the Chamber. 1129 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,080 Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And then, oh my favorite part though, 1130 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 3: was yan Al Green, the Democrat from Texas holding the 1131 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,120 Speaker 3: sign that says blacks aren't apes, but his there was 1132 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,839 Speaker 3: something covering it up, so it said his sign actually 1133 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,759 Speaker 3: read I mean, if you're watching it, blacks rent apes 1134 01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:37,400 Speaker 3: and we're like, wait, what. 1135 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,720 Speaker 17: If you have to put it on a sign? 1136 01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 5: I mean, it just makes oh my god. 1137 01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,439 Speaker 17: And we have to make fun of them. That is 1138 01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 17: a super important part of delegitimizing the other side is 1139 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,360 Speaker 17: when they they deserve to be ridiculed, and we need 1140 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,880 Speaker 17: to ridicule them. We all need to say they are 1141 01:08:58,000 --> 01:08:59,920 Speaker 17: not serious, they don't care about. 1142 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 5: Them, because they don't. 1143 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 17: They refuse to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens. 1144 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:08,599 Speaker 17: The modern Democrat Party is un American, and we need 1145 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 17: to say it loudly and proudly, and we need to 1146 01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:11,599 Speaker 17: mock them. 1147 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:14,559 Speaker 3: All Right, Luke Symbol, can you hang out with us 1148 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 3: for a little while?

Listening to us on 1198 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,840 Speaker 3: our flagship station. Kwam him, Mark, what's going on? 1199 01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:48,040 Speaker 10: Hey? God? 1200 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 12: Hey Luke, Hey hey. I think last night the most 1201 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:56,240 Speaker 12: important thing that Trump did was to call Foon out 1202 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 12: on the Save America hat. I think that that is 1203 01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:05,479 Speaker 12: the most important thing to do next, besides guarding our 1204 01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 12: military and taking care of our military people. That is 1205 01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 12: the way to save our country. 1206 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Luke, what do you think of I'm with Mark here. 1207 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 3: I think Trump did a great job, and I think 1208 01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 3: you should have made him stand up. I wanted to Mark, 1209 01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,960 Speaker 3: I wanted to see the President lecturing him with a 1210 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:25,400 Speaker 3: thun right to his face. 1211 01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:27,920 Speaker 17: I totally agree. We have got to get this passed 1212 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 17: as quickly as possible because you know, the leftist judges 1213 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,800 Speaker 17: are going to declare it unconstitutional. We've got to get 1214 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:35,479 Speaker 17: it all the way up to the Supreme Court, and 1215 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 17: we have to safeguard our elections. It's a fantastic bill. 1216 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,800 Speaker 17: It passes constitutional muster, and we just have to get 1217 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:41,160 Speaker 17: it done. 1218 01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:47,080 Speaker 12: That was the only, uh, the only thing that is 1219 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 12: important because the only way they win is cheating. The 1220 01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:53,839 Speaker 12: only way they win is through corruption. 1221 01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:55,720 Speaker 13: It's being exposed. 1222 01:12:56,280 --> 01:13:00,160 Speaker 12: I always wonder where are all these crazy people that 1223 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,200 Speaker 12: are voting for the Democrats, I don't think they exist. 1224 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,759 Speaker 17: It's a small small portion of the population that exists. 1225 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,479 Speaker 17: And the Democrats know they need mass migration to keep 1226 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 17: their votes up and they need those mail in ballots, 1227 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,080 Speaker 17: and Donald Trump said that specifically, no more mail in ballots. 1228 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 3: Well, Mark, we be sure to appreciate you calling in. 1229 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 3: Thank you for listening to Kwan by the way, and 1230 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 3: we appreciate all of our great listeners across the country. 1231 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,520 Speaker 3: You know, final thoughts, Luke. We're moving into the midterms, 1232 01:13:28,680 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 3: and my concern is what you just referenced. For example, 1233 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,479 Speaker 3: in Texas, you've got Jasmin Crockett. In the Memphis area, 1234 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 3: You're going to have a radical, a far leftist named 1235 01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:43,439 Speaker 3: Justin Pearson challenging Steve Cohen, who is a radical leftist 1236 01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:46,719 Speaker 3: in his own right. Cohen looks like a Mitt Rodney 1237 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,400 Speaker 3: Republican compared to this guy. 1238 01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,160 Speaker 17: It's really amazing. I never thought I would find myself 1239 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,719 Speaker 17: rooting for Steve Cohen and the Democrat primary. But Justin 1240 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 17: Pearson is basically like Jasmine Crockett's twin brother. I mean, 1241 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,600 Speaker 17: they are so simler. They change their accents depending on 1242 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,439 Speaker 17: to whom they're speaking. They change their look depending on 1243 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 17: to whom they're speaking. Their total phonies, their total frauds, 1244 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:13,479 Speaker 17: and their policies are destructive to America. That they live 1245 01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,719 Speaker 17: to bring divisiveness to America by focusing on the things 1246 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:19,800 Speaker 17: that make us different, in the things that divide us, 1247 01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:22,639 Speaker 17: rather than the things that bring us together. And it's 1248 01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:25,840 Speaker 17: it's actually I think it's pure evil. But you know 1249 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,679 Speaker 17: that is that is the modern Democrat Party? 1250 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:31,680 Speaker 3: No, well, it's it's a fair point. And again when 1251 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:33,960 Speaker 3: you look at I mean these people, they couldn't even 1252 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:37,040 Speaker 3: stand for the team USA, the US men's hockey team 1253 01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:38,200 Speaker 3: for crying out loud. 1254 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,360 Speaker 17: Perhaps the most unif what should have been the most 1255 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 17: unifying moment of the night. And they can't support anything 1256 01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 17: that honestly makes America look good. 1257 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,040 Speaker 3: In my opinion, do you think though that that this 1258 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,680 Speaker 3: is going you know, the behavior of the Democrats. Do 1259 01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,720 Speaker 3: you think it's going to change hearts and minds? Do 1260 01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 3: you think people are are going to be able to 1261 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 3: wake up and see these these are very very dangerous 1262 01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,639 Speaker 3: American people were talking about. 1263 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:03,760 Speaker 17: I hope so, and I hope that the state of 1264 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 17: the Union is the turning point. We have been getting 1265 01:15:06,160 --> 01:15:08,240 Speaker 17: a lot and you know, the mainstream media is all 1266 01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 17: in on helping the Democrats, and we saw that with 1267 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,919 Speaker 17: these ice protests. We saw how they were framing the narrative. 1268 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:16,000 Speaker 17: But I think that the state of the Union was 1269 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:20,439 Speaker 17: a reset, and I do think independence You cannot if 1270 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:22,679 Speaker 17: you say that you're independent and you care about this country, 1271 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 17: you cannot support the Democrat Party. And honestly, no matter 1272 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,840 Speaker 17: how moderate a Democrat tries to sound like the governor 1273 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,559 Speaker 17: of Virginia, they are radical and the minute they get 1274 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,120 Speaker 17: in office they support the most radical leftist policies and 1275 01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:37,920 Speaker 17: they're lying.

A lot happening in world affairs, 1411 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,680 Speaker 3: and we thought it would be great to have a 1412 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:10,600 Speaker 3: conversation with Tommy Piggott, who is the principal deputy spokesperson 1413 01:23:11,040 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 3: over at the State Department. Let's take a listen in 1414 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,320 Speaker 3: all right, let's go right to the Patriot Mobile news 1415 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,080 Speaker 3: maker line. And as we said, Tommy Pigott is with us. Tommy, 1416 01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:24,759 Speaker 3: you guys have to be celebrating after this tremendous State 1417 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,640 Speaker 3: of the Union addressed the other night. 1418 01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,560 Speaker 19: It really was tremendous, and I think it was a 1419 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,479 Speaker 19: clear vision that the President laid out from the foreign 1420 01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,000 Speaker 19: policy perspective, I think one of the most important lines 1421 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,519 Speaker 19: the night was when the President said that he seeks 1422 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 19: peace where we can, but he will not hesitate the 1423 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 19: standout for America where we must. And I think that 1424 01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 19: is the real definition of peace through strength. And we 1425 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,760 Speaker 19: see that not just in words from the speech, but 1426 01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:50,960 Speaker 19: in actions from this president. I feel like at all 1427 01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:52,800 Speaker 19: of the ways that he's advanced America's interest. So I 1428 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:55,639 Speaker 19: thought an incredibly powerful speech, so many different emotional moments 1429 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:58,200 Speaker 19: and a real clear vision from this president about what 1430 01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 19: he's accomplished, but also about where we're going. 1431 01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 3: And that's a big part of it. Certainly, there's been 1432 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,960 Speaker 3: a lot of concern about what's going to happen next 1433 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 3: in Iran. I thought it was somewhat sobering to see 1434 01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,559 Speaker 3: even a Senator Chuck Schumer, coming out of a private 1435 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,880 Speaker 3: briefing saying, hey, look, this is a serious situation here. 1436 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,920 Speaker 3: What is the situation Tommy, and what can you share 1437 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:24,280 Speaker 3: with us? 1438 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 19: Well, I think putting this in context is an important 1439 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:29,559 Speaker 19: place to start in the sense of the maximum pressure 1440 01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,560 Speaker 19: policy that President Trump reinstituted from the beginning of his administration, 1441 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,400 Speaker 19: and those were sanctions and other actions that were implemented 1442 01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:39,320 Speaker 19: that are meant to deny the regime the revenue they 1443 01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,040 Speaker 19: need to continue their malicious activities, and that includes the 1444 01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:45,799 Speaker 19: nuclear weapons program, that includes ballistic missiles, that includes funding 1445 01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:49,200 Speaker 19: their foreign terrorist proxies. I think fundamentally, and the President's 1446 01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,719 Speaker 19: made this clear. The bottom line is that the Ranium 1447 01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:55,400 Speaker 19: regime cannot have a nuclear weapon. And if anyone doubts 1448 01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,479 Speaker 19: that President Trump means what he says, all they need 1449 01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 19: to do is look back to the last time that 1450 01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,120 Speaker 19: the Arranum rigs refused a deal and we saw Operation 1451 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:02,559 Speaker 19: mi ind. 1452 01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 3: That Hammer, Well, we did no doubt about it. There 1453 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:10,519 Speaker 3: is a lot of military hardware in the Middle East 1454 01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:17,280 Speaker 3: right now. It certainly appears that the President is sending 1455 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,320 Speaker 3: a message here. I'm wondering if the Iranians are actually 1456 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 3: getting that message. 1457 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 7: Well. 1458 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:25,760 Speaker 19: I think, first of all, the force posture reflects our 1459 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,760 Speaker 19: interests in the region. We have US troops in the region, 1460 01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,040 Speaker 19: we have allies in the region, and as Secretary Rubio 1461 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:32,720 Speaker 19: has described, we have a force posture that reflects that. 1462 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,240 Speaker 19: I think it also is indicative of President Trump's approach 1463 01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 19: of peace through strength. He's built the most powerful military 1464 01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:41,280 Speaker 19: in the history of the world, but he is a peacemaker, 1465 01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,839 Speaker 19: he is a deal maker. So I think fundamentally, the President, 1466 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 19: as he's made clear, wants a deal here. Who wants 1467 01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,080 Speaker 19: to see the Iranian regime make a deal. But as 1468 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,800 Speaker 19: the President has also made clear, if they refuse to 1469 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 19: make a deal, it will be very bad for them. 1470 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,799 Speaker 19: So I'm not going to preview exactly what the President 1471 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,960 Speaker 19: made aside that's ultimately his decision, but he's been clear 1472 01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 19: he wants to see a deal, and Raianian regime refuses, 1473 01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:02,280 Speaker 19: it'll be very bad for them. 1474 01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've wondered how you guys respond to even people 1475 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 3: within the Republican circles who say we should not be 1476 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,120 Speaker 3: we should not be doing anything with Iran. We should 1477 01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,160 Speaker 3: be isolationists, we should only be concerned with what's happening 1478 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:22,120 Speaker 3: right here in America. You know, these are the folks 1479 01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,000 Speaker 3: that are saying, you know, to hell with Israel, we 1480 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,400 Speaker 3: should not be helping Israel, our most cherished ally, how 1481 01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 3: do you guys respond to that kind of criticism coming 1482 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,840 Speaker 3: from our own side of the aisle. 1483 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 19: Well, everything comes back to making America safer, stronger, and 1484 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,960 Speaker 19: more prosperous. Everything does. That's the standard that from the 1485 01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 19: first day the Secretary came into the State Department, he 1486 01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:43,720 Speaker 19: told all of us that that was the standard by 1487 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:45,839 Speaker 19: which we should judge every single one of our actions. 1488 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,080 Speaker 19: And as the Secretary discussing, as President Trump said in 1489 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 19: his speech at the State of the Union, we see 1490 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:53,920 Speaker 19: in a rane regime that is threatening US interests through 1491 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,960 Speaker 19: their ballistic missile program. We cannot also allow we cannot 1492 01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:00,599 Speaker 19: allow the world's leading state sponsored terrorism, which is the regime, 1493 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 19: to have a nuclear weapon. We cannot allow it to happen. 1494 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 19: That is a direct threat, that would be a direct 1495 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,639 Speaker 19: threat to the national security of the United States of America. 1496 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,439 Speaker 19: But make no mistake, we're continually putting America first. That's 1497 01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:13,200 Speaker 19: what we're doing here. All of these actions are about 1498 01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 19: making America stronger. And I think undeniably, if you look 1499 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 19: at the results of the last year, we see a 1500 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,160 Speaker 19: stronger America. We see America that's respected. We see in 1501 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 19: America that is standing up for our interests in terms 1502 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,679 Speaker 19: of withstrong from international institutions that are working against our interests, 1503 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,320 Speaker 19: and America that is pushing for our allies to step 1504 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,719 Speaker 19: up when it comes to defense spending. For NATO, for example, 1505 01:27:31,760 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 19: seeing our allies spending five percent of GDP, a revamped 1506 01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,560 Speaker 19: assistance program that is aligned with our national interest to 1507 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,000 Speaker 19: make sure that all of our assistant programs are further 1508 01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 19: our national interests, and we're working with partners to make 1509 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 19: sure one day they don't need that assistance when it 1510 01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,639 Speaker 19: comes to eight or otherwise that they're building their own capacity. 1511 01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 19: So we see a United States of America under President 1512 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 19: Trump that is putting America first, putting our national interests firsts, 1513 01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:54,280 Speaker 19: and always fighting for the American people. 1514 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 3: And that's the bottom line. And sometimes, Tommy, that means 1515 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,880 Speaker 3: that you have to take action against a nation like 1516 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:06,679 Speaker 3: Iran for example. Just we're hypothetically speaking here, but somebody 1517 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,559 Speaker 3: if another nation is doing something that puts American people 1518 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:12,799 Speaker 3: in harm's way, of course the President's going to react 1519 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:13,040 Speaker 3: to that. 1520 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:14,639 Speaker 5: Well. 1521 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:17,400 Speaker 19: As the secretary said, it makes it's not a secret. 1522 01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:19,320 Speaker 19: It's been something we discussed for a while that the 1523 01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:23,000 Speaker 19: Araignan regime is developing that ballistic missile program. Ballistic missiles 1524 01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:25,040 Speaker 19: that are intercontinental that they're trying to develop that. So 1525 01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:28,040 Speaker 19: that's something the Secretary discussed again, a real threat to 1526 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:31,120 Speaker 19: America's national interests, and the President retained his options. He 1527 01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:33,560 Speaker 19: retains his options to defend the national interest of the 1528 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:36,200 Speaker 19: United States of America. Like I said, he is a peacemaker, 1529 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,439 Speaker 19: he's a deal maker. But his bottom line here is 1530 01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:41,720 Speaker 19: that the Arraigning regime, again the leading state sponsor of hair, 1531 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 19: cannot have a nuclear weapon. That is the bottom line. 1532 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:46,679 Speaker 19: President Trump has made that very clear. If they weren't 1533 01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:48,639 Speaker 19: have a nuclear weapon, that would be a direct threat 1534 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:49,599 Speaker 19: to the United States of America. 1535 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 3: On the Patriotobal Newsmaker line, we're honored to be speaking 1536 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,560 Speaker 3: with Tommy Peggott, who is the principal deputy spokesperson for 1537 01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:00,320 Speaker 3: the State Department. You know, Tommy, looking closer to home, 1538 01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 3: what's been happening in Mexico and these cartels. I think 1539 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,080 Speaker 3: a lot of people were really surprised to know that 1540 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,519 Speaker 3: these cartels, We're not just talking about gangbanger thugs. I mean, 1541 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 3: these are very well organized cartels. They have criminal organizations 1542 01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,760 Speaker 3: and they have military power down there. 1543 01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:25,280 Speaker 19: These transnational criminal organizations are a real threat. We have 1544 01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:27,840 Speaker 19: seen actions from the State Department of the Trump administration 1545 01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:31,000 Speaker 19: to designate these cartels as what they are, narco terrorists. 1546 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:35,000 Speaker 19: And we see these transnational narcoterrorists operating in different countries 1547 01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 19: across our region, sometimes even with more military capability than 1548 01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,240 Speaker 19: the nation in which they are operating. That is the 1549 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:44,080 Speaker 19: level of threat that we are dealing with the Trump administration. 1550 01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 19: President Trump has enacted an all of government approach to 1551 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,360 Speaker 19: combat these narco terrorists to address the flow stop the 1552 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 19: flow of deadly fentanyl into our country. That includes securing 1553 01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,080 Speaker 19: the border, but that also means working with our partners 1554 01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:59,760 Speaker 19: across the region to combat these narco terrorists where they 1555 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,280 Speaker 19: offer rate to stop their operations, to stop the flow 1556 01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,040 Speaker 19: of deadly drugs into our country. The leading cause of 1557 01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:07,879 Speaker 19: death for Americans age eighteen to forty five, our overdose 1558 01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,160 Speaker 19: is fueled by illicit fentanyl. So this is something we 1559 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,200 Speaker 19: were taking incredibly seriously that we're addressing. We're stopping. President 1560 01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:15,000 Speaker 19: Trump mentioning in the State of the Union how we 1561 01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 19: have seen the level of illegal fetanyl across the border 1562 01:30:17,520 --> 01:30:20,000 Speaker 19: dropped north of fifty percent since he took office. But 1563 01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 19: we're not stopping. We're continuing to combat these narco terrorists. 1564 01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 19: And when it comes to Mexico, something I wanted to 1565 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 19: mention there. When we saw the recent events, the State 1566 01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,720 Speaker 19: Department acted swiftly to set up a twenty four to 1567 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 19: seven hotline for Americans needing assistance, fielding hundreds of calls 1568 01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 19: for Americans, mostly doing with flight cancelations, but asking what 1569 01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:39,760 Speaker 19: they should do, asking for information. So we had that 1570 01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 19: hotline set up very swiftly, twenty four to seven, fielding 1571 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,920 Speaker 19: those calls, really living up set commendment that our highest 1572 01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,840 Speaker 19: commitment is the safety and security of the American people. 1573 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:51,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, well said all right. And the Secretary he got 1574 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,439 Speaker 3: a nice shout out there. I mean, he's doing all 1575 01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,679 Speaker 3: these jobs for the president. I'm telling you, your boss's 1576 01:30:57,720 --> 01:30:58,800 Speaker 3: crushing it these days. 1577 01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:00,360 Speaker 7: He is. 1578 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:01,920 Speaker 19: Indeed, it's an honor to work for him. Honored to 1579 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,880 Speaker 19: work for President Trump. Really the whole administration. There's a 1580 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:06,960 Speaker 19: spirit here about putting America first. I think it goes 1581 01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,400 Speaker 19: to that Munich speech that the Secretary gave, where he 1582 01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,320 Speaker 19: laid out President Trump's vision about revitalization, a revitalization of 1583 01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,160 Speaker 19: our country. That decline is a choice that we can reject, 1584 01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,640 Speaker 19: and we are rejecting it. Under President Trump, and I 1585 01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:22,680 Speaker 19: think that infuses everyone here about the opportunities ahead of us. Yes, 1586 01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,680 Speaker 19: the challenge is we need to address but the opportunities 1587 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,360 Speaker 19: that are waiting for us if we position ourselves to 1588 01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 19: take advantage of it. Yeah, and so we are every 1589 01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 19: single day working for that, working for the American people. 1590 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:33,120 Speaker 19: And it's in honor to do it. 1591 01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:35,640 Speaker 3: All right, Tommy, always good touch on base with you. 1592 01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,160 Speaker 3: Thanks again, thanks for having me on. All right, there 1593 01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:42,720 Speaker 3: you go, folks, and they're discrushing it over there at 1594 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 3: the State Department and the entire administration. My recommendation to 1595 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:49,760 Speaker 3: all of you folks again, don't go on vacation in 1596 01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:52,560 Speaker 3: Mexico right now. It's just too dangerous, too dangerous. And 1597 01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,800 Speaker 3: if you want to experience something south of the border, 1598 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 3: go to Taco Bell. They'll be happy to help you out. 1599 01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:10,040 Speaker 3: We'll be right back. So, Dylan, when when Matt Alasquez 1600 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:13,000 Speaker 3: picked me up at the at the airport Houston, was 1601 01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:16,800 Speaker 3: that Houston International, Bush, inter Continental whatever it's. That thing 1602 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:21,560 Speaker 3: is massive and it's under like massive construction and you 1603 01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 3: have to take a subway. But Dylan, the subway cars 1604 01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:28,719 Speaker 3: are like teeny tiny from like the nineteen forties or something, 1605 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,080 Speaker 3: and they fit like two people and you're just like 1606 01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:36,240 Speaker 3: rattling along. I'm like, what, I landed at one terminal, 1607 01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,040 Speaker 3: but then I had to go to an entirely different 1608 01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 3: terminal to get my luggage. 1609 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:40,400 Speaker 5: That sounds like a nightmare. 1610 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,639 Speaker 3: I'm like, I know, and I'm thinking, what happens if 1611 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 3: this thing breaks down? How do you get out? 1612 01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 7: You know? 1613 01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:48,639 Speaker 3: And it's very strange. 1614 01:32:48,800 --> 01:32:50,799 Speaker 5: That sounds like a claustrophobes worst nightmare. 1615 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:52,840 Speaker 3: It's sort of like if you've been to the top 1616 01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:53,880 Speaker 3: of the Saint Louis Art. 1617 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 5: That's what that reminded me of. 1618 01:32:55,680 --> 01:32:57,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what it reminded me of. 1619 01:32:57,640 --> 01:32:59,960 Speaker 5: My mom was so mad at me because I refuse 1620 01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:02,040 Speaker 5: used to go up there at the ripe age of 1621 01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,760 Speaker 5: like twelve. I shouldn't have been scared at all. 1622 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 3: No, you should have been scared. 1623 01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:07,320 Speaker 11: I was. 1624 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,120 Speaker 3: I was a grown man when I when I went 1625 01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 3: up for the first time, and we finally get up there, 1626 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:15,840 Speaker 3: and I'm like, is it just me or is this 1627 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:16,759 Speaker 3: thing moving? 1628 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:17,280 Speaker 10: Oh? 1629 01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:19,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, and it is.

And I 1683 01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:19,080 Speaker 20: couldn't think of any other speech in history that was 1684 01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 20: more powerful than that one. 1685 01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, what about you, I mean you're a young guy. 1686 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 3: I'm a young guy, Chris, So what what was your takeaway? 1687 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:25,920 Speaker 6: Well? 1688 01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,720 Speaker 21: My first thought, I'm a student of history, and to 1689 01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,960 Speaker 21: see one of the last great men from the greatest 1690 01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,800 Speaker 21: generation get honored with Medal of Honor was just a 1691 01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:36,680 Speaker 21: privilege to be able to see that. I got to 1692 01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:40,679 Speaker 21: watch that on TV. But to be able to see 1693 01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 21: what else is going on, the victories, the wins. I 1694 01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,519 Speaker 21: think too often, especially young Americans, we get bogged down 1695 01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,200 Speaker 21: in the bad news of the day, right, because that's 1696 01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:51,120 Speaker 21: that's what catches our eye first. But if you want 1697 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,639 Speaker 21: to look two steps ahead and you get to see, hey, 1698 01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:56,880 Speaker 21: what exactly are we winning at? How are we getting ahead? 1699 01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:58,599 Speaker 21: Where are the victories we can say, hey, we're doing 1700 01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:00,479 Speaker 21: this right, We're doing it well, we're doing it the 1701 01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,960 Speaker 21: right way.

I've got a one year old 1735 01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:20,760 Speaker 20: at home and I had a rough night last night, 1736 01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:22,880 Speaker 20: so I had to get an extra shot of energy 1737 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:23,840 Speaker 20: before I came on the radio. 1738 01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 3: No, I was looking for one of those at the 1739 01:38:25,600 --> 01:38:28,759 Speaker 3: airport yesterday.

I'm a doctor Pepper guy, so I 1743 01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:40,559 Speaker 3: think you're either Doctor Pepper or mister PIB and I'm 1744 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,719 Speaker 3: just curious, have does this interest you at all? Punching 1745 01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 3: peach or thrilling vanilla. 1746 01:38:46,720 --> 01:38:48,760 Speaker 21: If somebody told me almost vanilla, I think they'll call 1747 01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,599 Speaker 21: me boring. So boring, So I think punching peach seems 1748 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:53,759 Speaker 21: like more my style, Adam. 1749 01:38:54,040 --> 01:38:55,680 Speaker 20: I think I would go to the vanilla route just 1750 01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,960 Speaker 20: because I've had a vanilla coke before and I can't 1751 01:38:58,000 --> 01:38:59,360 Speaker 20: imagine it would taste much different. 1752 01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,800 Speaker 3: Tell us, are you a mister PIB guy or a 1753 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:02,800 Speaker 3: Doctor Pepper guy. 1754 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:05,800 Speaker 5: Mister PIB is like the off brand, and sometimes you 1755 01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:08,360 Speaker 5: can really tell. But I feel like the vanilla would 1756 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:12,679 Speaker 5: go better with that combination. I can't imagine a fruity 1757 01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:14,400 Speaker 5: taste with my doctor Pepper. 1758 01:39:14,600 --> 01:39:18,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, while both flavors are Oh that's that reminds me? 1759 01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:22,559 Speaker 3: Is there like a blueberry or BlackBerry Doctor Pepper?

What that is is 1792 01:40:57,520 --> 01:40:59,880 Speaker 21: we're not just gonna look at, uh, what if you're 1793 01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:01,840 Speaker 21: arms falling off and say, Okay, your arms falling off, 1794 01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,439 Speaker 21: I'm gonna fix that, when the reality is your whole 1795 01:41:03,479 --> 01:41:04,120 Speaker 21: body needs work. 1796 01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 7: Right. 1797 01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:06,960 Speaker 21: So what that means is we look at one hundred 1798 01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,000 Speaker 21: thousand foot view. Whether you are a young professional just 1799 01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:11,640 Speaker 21: starting a new job or a new career, you are 1800 01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 21: in the early stage. Is there any stage really of 1801 01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:17,320 Speaker 21: the family planning process with a spouse or if you 1802 01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:21,479 Speaker 21: are looking at a retire situation, Hey, I'm about to retire, 1803 01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:24,840 Speaker 21: thinking about retirement. I've got these assets, Where should they go? 1804 01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:27,559 Speaker 21: How do they work for me? How should I utilize them? 1805 01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 13: All? 1806 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,680 Speaker 21: Those are examples of times where it is crucial to 1807 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,000 Speaker 21: you have the right kind of guidance to be able 1808 01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 21: to go to and have those conversations with what works 1809 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,160 Speaker 21: best for me, I. 1810 01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:39,599 Speaker 3: Think a lot of folks, you know, they have this mentality. Okay, 1811 01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:43,400 Speaker 3: I'm just starting out, I'm barely making minimum wage, so 1812 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:47,000 Speaker 3: why do I do someone like me need a financial advisor. 1813 01:41:47,120 --> 01:41:49,639 Speaker 3: But it's really not about the money, though, I don't. 1814 01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,160 Speaker 20: Think it's about building your confidence. You know, it's really 1815 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:56,800 Speaker 20: us being able to sit down and say, this world's huge, 1816 01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,880 Speaker 20: the financial landscape is huge. Where do we start? And 1817 01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:02,840 Speaker 20: it's always about that first domino to fall. Once the 1818 01:42:02,880 --> 01:42:05,519 Speaker 20: first one falls, the rest fall right behind it. And 1819 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,640 Speaker 20: so that's what we want to do, is get out 1820 01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:09,880 Speaker 20: in front of it and say, hey, what you're thinking 1821 01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,439 Speaker 20: about is too broad. Let's narrow this down and let's 1822 01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:14,360 Speaker 20: put some steps in place to get it accomplished. 1823 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,519 Speaker 21: And it's another thing, Todd there you were asking me about, 1824 01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:17,960 Speaker 21: you know, as the young person, what I thought about 1825 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:21,240 Speaker 21: the state of the union. Something I think my generation 1826 01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:24,680 Speaker 21: has unfortunately bought into is the lie that hey, we 1827 01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:27,840 Speaker 21: can't have goals because they're unaffordable. We can't aspire to 1828 01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:30,240 Speaker 21: go achieve these things or buy a house or you know, 1829 01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,639 Speaker 21: own a business one day or start a business because 1830 01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:36,280 Speaker 21: we've attributed a number to it that we think or 1831 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:38,599 Speaker 21: we've been told is unrealistic and that's just not the case. 1832 01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,800 Speaker 21: And something Adam and I are trying to change the 1833 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 21: narrative on is that, Hey, you're allowed to dream those dreams, 1834 01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:46,200 Speaker 21: You're allowed to have those goals, and we're here to 1835 01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,160 Speaker 21: be able to help you think through those critically and 1836 01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,800 Speaker 21: strategically and hit those milestones when they count. 1837 01:42:50,880 --> 01:42:53,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it reminds you of a kid we interviewed years 1838 01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,960 Speaker 3: ago at Fox News and he had wanted to deliver 1839 01:42:57,040 --> 01:43:00,439 Speaker 3: a Valedictoria address for something and was not able to. 1840 01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:03,040 Speaker 3: And so anyway, he sort of kept in touch over 1841 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:04,800 Speaker 3: the years and sent me a note. He had just 1842 01:43:04,920 --> 01:43:09,559 Speaker 3: graduated from Grand Canyon University and he said, mister Seerns, 1843 01:43:09,640 --> 01:43:12,120 Speaker 3: I graduated, got a full time job, and I just 1844 01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:15,360 Speaker 3: bought my first house. And he's like, you know, twenty three, 1845 01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:18,360 Speaker 3: twenty three years old, so it's actually doable. And what 1846 01:43:18,439 --> 01:43:19,840 Speaker 3: I said, well, how did you how are you able 1847 01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,519 Speaker 3: to do that? He said, Well, most of his friends 1848 01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:23,960 Speaker 3: were going out and spending a lot of money on 1849 01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:27,240 Speaker 3: coffee and avocado toast. He was putting his money away 1850 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:28,760 Speaker 3: and he was he was saving it. 1851 01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,920 Speaker 21: Oh, it's about being intentional, right, It's it's entirely about 1852 01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:36,519 Speaker 21: being intentional and realizing, hey, uh, the good times don't last, right, 1853 01:43:37,040 --> 01:43:38,600 Speaker 21: and it's what you do during the good times to 1854 01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:39,800 Speaker 21: prepare you for the bad times. 1855 01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,040 Speaker 3: All right.

That's nine oh one 1861 01:43:57,320 --> 01:44:00,400 Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six of it is. 1862 01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:02,360 Speaker 3: I think it's almost a foreign concept for a lot 1863 01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:05,120 Speaker 3: of people. You know that they think financial advisors are 1864 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:09,000 Speaker 3: for super wealthy people. But what kinds of things can 1865 01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:12,000 Speaker 3: a financial advisor help with? Just beyond investments? 1866 01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,280 Speaker 20: Insurance is one thing that comes to mind. You know, 1867 01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:18,840 Speaker 20: one of the things like your gentleman that just graduated 1868 01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:20,840 Speaker 20: and bought a new house, Well, he took on some 1869 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:23,639 Speaker 20: debt and he's going to get married, have a family. 1870 01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 20: So we work with them to say, hey, what's the 1871 01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:29,639 Speaker 20: right insurance to put in place? Because if something happens 1872 01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:31,639 Speaker 20: to you, we want to be able to pay off 1873 01:44:31,720 --> 01:44:33,880 Speaker 20: that mortgage that your wife and kids don't have to 1874 01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:36,560 Speaker 20: worry about how we're going to make ends meet. And 1875 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 20: so that's what we call the risk mitigation of your planning. 1876 01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:43,559 Speaker 20: So we'll talk to you about an insurance solve disability insurance. Now, 1877 01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 20: a lot of people don't understand that your number one 1878 01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,840 Speaker 20: asset is your ability to earn an income. If we 1879 01:44:49,200 --> 01:44:51,680 Speaker 20: get disabled, then we can't go and do our job. Well, 1880 01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:53,560 Speaker 20: how do we pay our bills? So we work with 1881 01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:56,280 Speaker 20: people in that regard. And it's not just about investing 1882 01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:56,760 Speaker 20: in the market. 1883 01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:57,320 Speaker 5: Yes, that's a. 1884 01:44:57,320 --> 01:45:01,120 Speaker 20: Component, but the comprehensive plans. I want to know what 1885 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:02,760 Speaker 20: do I need to do. If you're that type of 1886 01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:05,519 Speaker 20: person says, does map it out for me, we can 1887 01:45:05,600 --> 01:45:06,240 Speaker 20: do that for you. 1888 01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:08,439 Speaker 21: And I'd add to that there are a lot of 1889 01:45:08,479 --> 01:45:11,880 Speaker 21: different components that people just don't really think about, things 1890 01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:15,040 Speaker 21: like an emergency fund, for one thing. Thinking about how 1891 01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,479 Speaker 21: retirement readiness doesn't start when you hit age fifty. Retirement 1892 01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,240 Speaker 21: readiness starts when you're twenty five, when you're twenty seven thirty, 1893 01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,200 Speaker 21: when you get into that full time career and you're 1894 01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:26,400 Speaker 21: looking at, okay, hey, what things do I need to 1895 01:45:26,439 --> 01:45:29,000 Speaker 21: put in place now? In terms of habits. Healthy habits 1896 01:45:29,240 --> 01:45:31,400 Speaker 21: are going to set me up for long term success 1897 01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:32,519 Speaker 21: when I need it to hit. 1898 01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,400 Speaker 3: And that's a great point because a lot of young 1899 01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:37,599 Speaker 3: people in this generation they're doing something very unusual. They're 1900 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,040 Speaker 3: getting married very early. You know a lot of folks 1901 01:45:40,120 --> 01:45:44,000 Speaker 3: in the millennial generation, they were putting marriage off until 1902 01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,560 Speaker 3: their thirties. Now you've got kids coming right out of 1903 01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:49,479 Speaker 3: college or in some cases high school, getting married and 1904 01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:51,639 Speaker 3: by the time they're twenty two twenty three, they've already 1905 01:45:51,640 --> 01:45:52,120 Speaker 3: got kids. 1906 01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:55,240 Speaker 21: Yeah, I mean, Todd, I've got about three clients all 1907 01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:58,519 Speaker 21: in a three couple clients, all under the age of 1908 01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,640 Speaker 21: twenty four, and two of them own and run their 1909 01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:05,439 Speaker 21: own businesses, and they're growing and they have goals. I 1910 01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:09,479 Speaker 21: love working with those kinds of individuals because they're one 1911 01:46:09,520 --> 01:46:11,360 Speaker 21: of two types of people dreamers who have learned how 1912 01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:13,160 Speaker 21: to be doers, or doers who have learned how to 1913 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 21: be dreamers. And they're so motivated, Todd to make their 1914 01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,800 Speaker 21: life the way they see and build their family away 1915 01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,599 Speaker 21: that will set them up for future success. And they're 1916 01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:23,120 Speaker 21: trying to do the right things now instead of make 1917 01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:24,800 Speaker 21: mistakes now and learning it later. 1918 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,840 Speaker 3: I love this again.
