1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd starts this American.

3
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: In Happy New Year to you America. Hello everybody, I'm

4
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: Todd Stearns. Thank you for joining us today and by

5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: the way, thank you for making us your choice on

6
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: the radio noon to three Eastern. And a what an

7
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: insane weekend. We all just survived. What an insane weekend,

8
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: not only for the world, but especially for the United

9
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: States of America. We've got a lot of stuff happening.

10
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: On today's show, We're going to be checking in with

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: our good buddy, a General John Tygert, former Air Force

12
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: General Commander Edward's Air Force Base and Joint Base Andrews.

13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: He's going to give us the blow by blow of

14
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: what happened down in Venezuela, which is still resonating across

15
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: really the world. Also, Vicky Palladino, who serves on the

16
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: New York City Council, is going to drop by and

17
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: she has a lot to say about Zoron Mamdami, who

18
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: was sworn in on January the first, and once New

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 2: Yorkers to embrace the warmth of collectivism. So we'll talk

20
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: to the city council a little bit about that, and

21
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: my good buddy rob Astorino, one of the Newsmax host

22
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: is going to be here in just a little while.

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: We're also going to be taking your calls, getting your

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: reaction to really this new doctrine that's come out of

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: the Trump administration, the Trump Doctrine, and a lot of

26
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 2: folks are just curious right now and they're wondering, Okay,

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: what is Venezuela I have to do with America? First? Well,

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm I'm going to explain that to you here momentarily

29
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: because there's something much greater afoot and there are things

30
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: that we don't know about. I have my suspicions, but

31
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: I and I'm going to share those with you in

32
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: just a moment. But this is this was not about drugs.

33
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, part of it was about drugs, but the

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: reality is there's much more at stake here.

35
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: Now.

36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: You have to excuse my normally docile tones because I

37
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: think I think it was like last Wednesday, last New

38
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: Year's Eve, whatever New Year's Eve was, yours truly came

39
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: down with the ugh. I'm not sure what they call it,

40
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: but I've been dealing with this throat thing, this upper

41
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: respiratory thing, and I have been doing Niquell shots like

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: nobody's business. So I'm not even sure what day it is.

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: All I know is that I'm wearing pants, so that's

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: a good thing. But so bear with me as we

45
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: kept through today and the voice will hopefully persevere. We

46
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: don't have a plan B, so we're gonna have to

47
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: make it work. Maybe we could get Miss Patty from

48
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: States Full to substitute for us our telephone number nine

49
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Again,

50
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: Now what I find interesting about all of this hullabaloo

52
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: over what happened down in Venezuela and people are calling

53
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: it regime change? How dare the president? It's regime change? No, no,

54
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: actually it's not. You see, Nicholas Maduro actually lost his

55
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: last election in a landslide, so he decided to just

56
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: ignore the vote totals and retain control of the country.

57
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: That's what happened here, So there is no regime change.

58
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: We're arresting this guy because of a of an indictment

59
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: on American soil in an American courtroom and all of

60
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: that is happening today in New York City. But again,

61
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: as I mentioned at the start of the show, I

62
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: don't believe this is really I don't believe the drugs

63
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: and stopping the drugs was the motivating factor here. And

64
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: I say that because when you look at the top

65
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: nations where drugs are flowing into America, Venezuela is not

66
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: one of the top. As a matter of fact, that

67
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: would be Mexico, and then it would be Colombia. I mean,

68
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: Venezuela is on the list, but it's not like the

69
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: number one. If this was really about stopping the flow

70
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: of drugs, well we would have invaded Mexico. But that's

71
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: not what happened here. Now, there has been a lot

72
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: of talk and a lot of scuttle butt about China

73
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 2: and China and Russia, but predominantly China has been trying

74
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 2: to get a foothold in our hemisphere, and that's why

75
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: they have been doing a lot of work behind the

76
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: scenes with the Venezuelans. And a lot of it has

77
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: to with oil. And even then, we've got plenty of oil,

78
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: so it's not so much oil. It's not really about oil.

79
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: I mean it's great that we're going to be taking

80
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: over the oil production there, don't get me wrong, that's great.

81
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: And stopping the flow of drugs is great. These are

82
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: all great things, but that was not the motivating factor.

83
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: The motivating factor, I believe is the is the relationship

84
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: they have with China and Iran, and both countries have

85
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: very disturbing ties. If you've read any of Joel Rosenberg's novels,

86
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: and I'm a big fan of Rosenberg, We've had him

87
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: on the show a number of times. And Rosenberg has

88
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: this uncannyability within his novels to write storylines that eventually

89
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: turn out to be true in real life in some

90
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: form or fashion, and it's just it's really sort of eerie.

91
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: And in a lot of his novels he writes about

92
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 2: Venezuela and how Venezuela really becomes a world player, and

93
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Venezuela is really the focus of where attacks on America

94
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: have been have been crafted and have evolved, and there

95
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: is a lot of concern within military circles that China

96
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: or even Russia developing those relationships could put nuclear weapons

97
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: in Venezuela, much like the Russians, the old Soviets wanted

98
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: to do with Cuba back in the day, during the

99
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: JFK years. Many of you remember thirteen Days in September.

100
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: We came very close to a nuclear war during that time,

101
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: and there was no way, there was no way that

102
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: we were going to allow nuclear missiles to be placed

103
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: in Cuba, so much so that we did the big

104
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: naval blockade, much like we've been doing the blockade down

105
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. So I think that probably has more to

106
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: do with it than anything else. Not only that, and

107
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 2: hear me on this, there's been a lot of scuttle

108
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: butt about the electronics that were used in many of

109
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: the ballot boxes, and much of that is actually made

110
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: in Venezuela, So there has been some other scuttle butt.

111
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 2: And if you've noticed that Maduro looks pretty happy and

112
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: all the photos have you seen all the photographs of him,

113
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: but he looks like he's in a good mood. He's

114
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: had a lot of wardrobe changes. I've seen him in

115
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: like three or four different outfits, but he seems to

116
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: be in a good mood. And I'm wondering if deals

117
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: have already been hatched, if deals have already been made,

118
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: which is one of the reasons why the missus got

119
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: whacked too, because they can certainly use her for leverage.

120
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 2: But I do wonder if Maduro is about to spill

121
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: the beans. We know that a lot of members of

122
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: Congress on both sides of the political aisle, Republicans and Democrats,

123
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: are getting cash from Venezuela. So it could be that

124
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: Maduro is about to spill the beans on all of this.

125
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: And not only are we going to get hundreds of

126
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: millions of dollars worth of oil out of all of this,

127
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: we very well could find out once and for all

128
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: how the twenty twenty presidential election was stolen. A lot

129
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: of fascinating ways this story can go. And again I'm

130
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: just throwing this out as these are my theories about

131
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: why all of this went down. But as someone pointed out,

132
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: I think Miss Helen pointed out earlier today that the

133
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: entire raid to take out Maduro and his regime it

134
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: was what four hours, which was about half the amount

135
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 2: of time we needed to find out that the kid

136
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: on Stranger Things was gay. I mean, that was pretty brilliant.

137
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: And all these folks out there talking about Pete Hegseth

138
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: and talking about how hard oh he's he's a moron,

139
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: he's a he's dumb as bricks, that guy, Really, are

140
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: you sure about that? Because what I saw was one

141
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: of the most impressive feats of military action in modern

142
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: American history. That was unbelievably brilliant. And I think one

143
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: of the messages here to the rest of the world

144
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: is if you don't think it can happen to you,

145
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: you better think again. And we've got we've got ways

146
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: to come at you that you don't even know about.

147
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: And that's what I love about this. All right, we're

148
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: going to take a break going to the phone lines

149
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: as well. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

150
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: two six. I know a lot of people, Tucker Carlson

151
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: and Marjorie Taylor Green are enraged over all of this.

152
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Tucker has a bizarre theory that this is really about

153
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: making sure gay marriage is introduced in Venezuela. Take a listen.

154
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: We can safely discount democracy as a reason for affecting

155
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: regime change in Venezuela. We're not going to go kill

156
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: Nicholas Maduro because we don't like the way he's treating

157
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: his people. It's possible we're mad that he doesn't allow

158
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: gay marriage. That is a distinct possibility, but no one

159
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 4: will say that out loud, not defending the regime, just saying.

160
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: One of the most conservative.

161
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: Countries in North or South or Central America. Only El

162
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: Salvador really comes close, which is much smaller, of course.

163
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 4: And by the way, the US backed opposition leader who

164
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 4: would take Maduro's place if he were taken out, is

165
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 4: of course pretty eager to get gay marriage in Venezuela.

166
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: So those of you who thought this whole project was

167
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 4: globohomo not crazy, Actually, why.

168
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: Are we trying to install this woman? It makes no sense.

169
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: Well, because she'll bring gay marriage to Venezuela and that's important.

170
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we stand for. What No, I

171
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: don't know where he's getting all of this. So now

172
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: apparently the Trump administration is, I don't know, committed to

173
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: installing gay marriage in every country around the world. That's

174
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: the global homo is what they're calling it. Anyway, anyway

175
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: we can, we'll let your way on a Tucker Carlson

176
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: as well, he's he's out there on this one. But again,

177
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: Tucker now seems to believe that this Trump wants to

178
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: make sure that gay people in Venezuela can get married

179
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

180
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

181
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.

182
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Every so often a film comes along that challenges us

183
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: to look closer at what's happening in our own backyard.

184
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: Sexploited is that film, a gripping new four part Doncu

185
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: series that uncovers the reality of sexual exploitation happening in

186
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: every community in America. You will hear from survivors, law enforcement,

187
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: and advocates who are fighting to expose an end this

188
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: modern day slavery. It's not easy to watch, but it's

189
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: something every American needs to see. You can stream se

194
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: As Secretary Ruvio stated just yesterday, this is the Western Hemisphere.

195
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 5: This is where we live, and we're not going to

196
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 5: allow the Western Hemisphere to be used as a base

197
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: of operation for our nation's adversaries and competitors and rivals

198
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 5: of the United States. You can't turn Venezuela into the

199
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: operating hub for aaran, for law for gangs, for human

200
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 5: intelligence agents, and other malign actors that control that country.

201
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 5: You cannot continue to have the largest energy reserves in

202
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 5: the world under the control of adversaries of the United States,

203
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: under the control of illegitimate leaders, and not benefiting the

204
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 5: people of Venezuela, and stolen by a handful of oligarchs

205
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 5: inside of Venezuela.

206
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Mike Waltz over anth the United Nations just

207
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: minutes ago, reiterating what I just share with you. Is

208
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: my theory about all of this. We've got to stop

209
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: China from grabbing a stronghold in South America. We just

210
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: have to do it. We cannot allow that to happen.

211
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 2: And what that means for Taiwan, we will see. But

212
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: there is some speculation that we may have to jettison

213
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: Taiwan if, in fact, China decides to go in and

214
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: take over the country. And look, there are lots of

215
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 2: shoes to fall here, and we're going to get to

216
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: all of them. But I'm telling you this was a

217
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: brilliant thing that happened over the weekend. Nine oh one

218
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: two six to zero five nine two six A our

219
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five,

220
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: nine two six. So I want to play some audio

221
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State. Folks. Wow, I am

222
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: just so impressed with the work that Rubio has been doing,

223
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: getting out there and defending the policies of the administration,

224
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: delivering on the policies in the agenda restoring our I

225
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: would say, our leadership within the world community, the global community.

226
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: And you know what really fascinated me when you look

227
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: at all of the photographs, all of the video from

228
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: this past weekend, there was one person in particular who

229
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: was not there, and that was the Vice President, Jade Vance,

230
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: and it was hard not to It was hard not

231
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: to miss him. There was a reason why Rubio was

232
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: not there, and so much so that the administration had

233
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: come out and put out a statement saying Rubio was

234
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: doing something else somewhere else. No, no, no, no. The only

235
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: place that that Advance was supposed to be was at

236
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: that meeting right or at the meetings at mar Lago.

237
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: As all of this was going down, the fact that

238
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: he was not makes me really wonder if he is

239
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: in step with the Trump administration on this, because there

240
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: are many people within the party and within the movement

241
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: who support jade Vans, who are strongly opposed to what

242
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: happened in Venezuela, strongly opposed GOT number two.

243
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: This is a president of action, Like, I don't understand

244
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: yet how they haven't figured this out. And now if

245
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: you don't know, now you know, because this is the

246
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 6: way it's going to play out. And I think people

247
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 6: need to understand that this is not a president that

248
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 6: just talks and does letters and press conferences, and you know,

249
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 6: if he says he's serious about something, he means it.

250
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: And this is something that.

251
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 6: Was a direct threat to the national interest of the

252
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 6: United States, and the President addressed.

253
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: It, and he certainly did. He went on Stephanopholis's show

254
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: called Snufflopigos George Snuffloppigus over on ABC and it was

255
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: just he just destroyed George cut number six.

256
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 6: First of all, what's going to happen here is that

257
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 6: we have a quarantine on their oil that means their

258
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 6: economy will not be able to move forward until the

259
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: conditions that are in the national interest of the United

260
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 6: States and the interests of the Venezuelan people are met,

261
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 6: and that's what we intend to do, so that leverage remains.

262
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 6: That leverage is ongoing, and we expect that it's going

263
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: to lead the results here.

264
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: We're hope, so hopeful that it does.

265
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 6: Positive results for the people of Venezuela, but ultimately, most

266
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 6: importantly for us, in the national interest of the United States,

267
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: we will no longer have. Hopefully, as we move forward

268
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 6: here will set the condition so that we no longer

269
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 6: have in our hemisphere of Venezuela, that's the crossroads for

270
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 6: many of our adversaries around the world, including Iran and

271
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 6: has Belah. Is no longer sending US drug gangs, is

272
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 6: no longer sending US drug boats. Is no longer a

273
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: narco trafficking paradise for all those drugs coming out of

274
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: Columbia to go in through the Caribbean and towards the

275
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 6: United States. And obviously, we want a better future for

276
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: the people of Venezuela. We want them to have an

277
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: oil industry where the wealth goes to the people, not

278
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 6: to a handful of corrupt individuals and stolen by pirates

279
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 6: all over the world. That's what we're working towards, and

280
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 6: we intend to use the leverage we have to help

281
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 6: achieve that.

282
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 5: Let me ask the question again, what is the legal

283
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 5: authority for the United States to be running Venezuela.

284
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 6: Well, I explain to you what our goals are and

285
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 6: how we're going to use the leverage to make it happen.

286
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 6: As far as what our legal authority is on the quarantine,

287
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 6: I'm very simple.

288
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 2: We have court orders.

289
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 6: These are sanctioned boats, and we get orders from courts

290
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 6: to go after and seize these sanctions. So I don't

291
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 6: know as a court not a legal authority. So is

292
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 6: the United States running Venezuela right now? Well, I've explained

293
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 6: once again, I'll do it one more time. What we

294
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 6: are running is the direction that this is going to

295
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 6: move moving forward, and that is we have leverage. This

296
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 6: leverage we are using and we intend to use. We

297
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 6: started using already. You can see where they are running

298
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 6: out of storage capacity in a few weeks, they're going

299
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 6: to have to start pumping oil unless they make changes.

300
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 6: And that leverage that we have with the armada of

301
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 6: boats that are currently positioned, allow us to seize any

302
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 6: sanctioned boats coming into or out of Venezuela loaded with

303
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 6: oil or on its way in to pick up oil.

304
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 6: And we can pick and choose which ones we go

305
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 6: after we have court orders for each one that will

306
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 6: continue to be in place until the people who have

307
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 6: control over the levers of power in that country make

308
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 6: changes that are not just in the interest of the

309
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 6: people of Venezuela, but are in the interest of the

310
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 6: United States and the things that we care about.

311

Speaker 2: or Rubio, our great Secretary of State, on ABC and

313
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: he actually called one of the reporters, was it a CBS,

314
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: NBC called or a Borod? It was well deserved. Anyway,

00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: you are the first caller of the new year. Welcome sir,

344
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. In other words, well don't well

345
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: that's just all that to say. Don't screw it up, Steve.

346
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 2: It's got to be a good strong call.

347
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 7: Well it's it's one another one of my conspiracies. Uh.

348
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 7: I found it interesting that that Fox News supposedly paid

349
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 7: eight hundred dollars eight hundred million dollars in out of

350
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 7: court settlement on the litigation to Dominion voting machine, and

351
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 7: supposedly that's what Kyles Tucket's coughing his guy at Fox News,

352
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 7: that neither one of them are talking much about the

353
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 7: vote and the voting machine and wanting to get the

354
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 7: trees out of what really went on. You would think

355
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 7: that would kind of be uh important to them.

356
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: Well you would think so. And I think there were

357
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: other conservative networks as as well that were in the

358
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: same boat. So yeah, but I suspect that there were

359
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: there were other issues with Tucker, so that was you know, again,

360
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: I have no inside knowledge, but I can tell you

361
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: that there there was probably something else.

362
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 7: Going on there there there very well could be. My

363
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 7: My conspiracy thing for the day is I've never had

364
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 7: believed that Fox needs paid any kind of settlement. I

365
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 7: always thought that was a kind of a show litigation

366
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 7: billity and supposedly big money payoff from from a network

367
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 7: to make everybody air set up and quit talking about it.

368
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Well, it could be. Again, I think that you know,

369
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of money, and I mean they

370
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: could have they had the money to pay it if

371
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: they wanted to pay it. But but again it's this

372
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: is all look, we have to get we have to

373
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 2: get the election issue settled once and for all. And

374
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: if it is, it's really troubling to me that we

375
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: have Majority Leader John Thune who simply refuses to do

376
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: what needs to be done, which is to get to

377
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: the filibuster so we can get through the Save Act.

378
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: If we don't pay, if we do not protect the

379
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 2: ballot box, Republicans are going to continue losing. So we've

380
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: got to get that done. And it's just I'm telling you, Steve,

381
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 2: it is a big, big, big problem. We've got it.

382
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: We've got to convince the Senate majority to do the

383
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: right thing here Steve, thank you for calling in, Thank

384
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: you for listening. Let's go to Charles in Statesville, North Carolina, WUS.

385
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: I see hi, Charles, Hi Todd, and happy New Year

386
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: to you, Hampy New year.

387
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 8: So Todd, I wholeheartedly support what President Trump did in

388
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 8: Venezuela with Maduro. That being said, I was out and

389
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 8: about this weekend watching football. Of course, the topic good

390
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 8: discussion was, you know, the capture of Maduro. But I

391
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 8: tell you I heard one underlying thing among people like

392
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 8: myself and who are Magus supporters, and it's this where

393
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 8: there's this same level of passion to hold people accountable

394
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: and bring in the justice. When is that going to

395
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 8: be directed for people that perpetuated the Russia hoax, perpetuated

396
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 8: the rigged and skull a election of twenty twenty that

397
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 8: weaponized justice. When are we going to see Barack Obama,

398
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 8: Peter Struck, James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper and company.

399
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: When are we going to see them arresting, walking at

400
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 8: in the handcuffs and being held accountable too? Because I

401
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 8: just hope that they're not trying to throw the MAGA

402
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 8: base the bone with Maduro. You know, I saw Lindsey

403
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 8: Graham on Air Force One with President Trump yesterday. I mean,

404
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 8: it's all good that we got him, and we have

405
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 8: to protect our hemisphere. But it's been one year, Todd,

406
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 8: and none of these people that I mentioned have been

407
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 8: held accountable, not one. And where are you sick of it?

408
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that you are. You and

409
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: I may be the only people in America that are

410
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 2: sick of this because because again it's nobody seems to

411
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: be taking that seriously. I mean, it's all talk. And

412
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: my issue is we've spent millions of dollars to investigate.

413
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: We've apparently got the goods if we're to believe everybody,

414
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: and if we do, then why aren't we prosecuting these individuals?

415
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 8: Well, I'd like to know the same thing. You know,

416
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 8: to Mars the anniversary of the fifth year anniversary of

417
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 8: J six, and I was there. I saw what happened,

418
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 8: and I saw how they completely turn that on its head,

419
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 8: and a lot of that the actual events, and you know,

420
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 8: people like Nancy Pelosi, I mean, and their cronies in

421
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 8: the media, and it's just like nothing's being done, and

422
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 8: you wonder, you know, do they have something on you know,

423
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 8: Cash Patail, the pamp Bondie. I mean, I just don't know.

424
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 8: But I mean, if they think that we're you know,

425
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 8: this is gonna we're gonna forget about it, you know,

426
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 8: because of the capture of Maduro or other bad actors,

427
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 8: they're mistaken. I mean, I'm glad we did, but I

428
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 8: just I just hoped that Trump will refocused on America first, bringing.

429
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 9: People to justice.

430
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 8: And maybe he is. I don't know, but so far

431
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 8: I haven't seen it. And like I said, Tod, I

432
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 8: just think people are getting frustrated.

433
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: Well, and it may be that there are other people

434
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 2: out there. I think you and I though, are the

435
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: only people that have actually, on a pretty regular basis,

436
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: been reminding people, hey, we got a big problem here.

437
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 2: You know, we had people in our own country who

438
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: trying to overthrow a duly elected president. We just rated Venezuela,

439
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: you know, in part over that. So again to your point,

440
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: you know, the other thing I find interesting, Charles, is

441
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: the change in attitude regarding the military we got in

442
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: we got out of one of the most heavily fortified

443
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: areas of Venezuela. I wonder what I wonder, and I

444
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: was thinking about this over the weekend. What would the

445
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 2: aftermath of nine to eleven look like if we actually

446
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: had Donald Trump in office and we had Pete Hagseth

447
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 2: running the Pentagon? Do you think we would be in

448
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: a we would have been in a twenty year war

449
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: with Iraq and Afghanistan. I don't think we would have.

450
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 8: I don't think we would have either. I think rather

451
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 8: than and I don't think we would have the Patriot Act.

452
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 8: I don't think we would have any of.

453
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 10: What we had.

454
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 8: I think that they would have been more laser focused

455
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 8: on the people that actually that are the threat. You know,

456
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 8: maybe we wouldn't have seen the TSA patting down Miss

457
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 8: Johnson instead of you know, letting Akmed get on the airplane.

458
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 8: But I just think it would have all been different.

459
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, Charles, it's look, it's it's a

460
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 2: good thought. You raised real quick. I know you're close

461
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: to Charlotte. And of course, over the weekend we got

462
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: word the FBI thwarting at what would have been a

463
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: terrorist attack there in the Charlotte area. I just didn't

464
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: realize how bad things had gotten down there in the

465
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: Queen City.

466
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 8: Oh it's bad thought. I mean, you don't have to

467
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 8: drive too far to see, you know, protests and and

468
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 8: everything else. And there's just you know, an undercurrent of

469
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 8: resistance down there. And you know, yesterday they were out

470
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 8: in the streets to Charlotte protesting Venezuela. I mean, you

471
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 8: had all these people that have never ever lived under

472
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 8: communism or socialism protesting the uh, you know, capturine of

473
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 8: a brutal dictator, and you had just the people of

474
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 8: Venezuela that I have actually lived under that that are cheering.

475
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 8: So yeah, I mean think about that for a second, you.

476
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: Know, Charles, I want to qualify that, because there is

477
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: we saw that happening all over the country. You've got

478
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: the Venezuelans and they're cheering, celebrating, having massive parties. None

479
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: of this is getting covered in the national news, by

480
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: the way. We're talking thousands of people marching in the streets.

481
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: But also here in this nation, you've got Venezuelans who

482
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,239
Speaker 2: are refugees and they are beyond thrilled. The people that

483
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: you see out there protesting, Charles, those are American communists.

484
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: That's who those people are. We got to call them

485
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: what they are. They're American communist and that's why they're

486
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: out there protesting.

487
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, and they're being funded by these radical organizations in

488
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 8: card Look how quickly they organized. I mean within two

489
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 8: hours they were out here, they had signs made.

490
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: Exactly. It's true, It's true. All right, Charles, I gotta run,

491
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 2: my friend. Happy New Year, till you're looking forward to

492
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: the conversation of the coming coming months. I got a

493
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: letter from our good buddy Noah Noah down that he

494
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: owns the great radio station in past Google of the

495
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: news talk station. And I got a I got a

496
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: letter from one of his listeners, and I wanted to

497
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: share this with you, and and I'm going to answer

498
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: this this. This guy his name is Calvin, and Calvin

499
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: is a regular listener. And I know that because he said,

500
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: Dear Todd, I'm a regular listener and fan. But today

501
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: I was puzzled and hurt. You told me over and

502
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: over again by radio that this is a Christian country. Yes,

503
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: all the founders were Christians, and the majority of Americans

504
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: are Christian, but just barely forty percent in a recent

505
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: poll I saw were no religion, atheist or agnostic. That

506
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 2: sounds like the mindset so many Islamists utilized to justify

507
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: the killing of non Muslims in their theocracies in Iran

508
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: or I e Iran. Recently, I retired from family practice

509
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: after sixty years. The first forty years I worked eighty

510
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: plus hours a week, in the last twenty only fifty

511
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: hours a week. I worked holidays, Holy days, missed my

512
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 2: children's birthday, soccer games, etc. I earned my stripes as

513
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: a first class citizen. I dare say I contributed more

514
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: to my community than you did, and you do. Yet

515
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: you attempt to invalidate my belief system because yours is better,

516
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: because I do not believe in the apothesis of Jesus. Yes,

517
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: I am Jewish. Well, let me stop here for a

518
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: second and try to explain this. And I first of all,

519
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: I appreciate any of you who take the time to

520
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: write me a letter, and if you give me permission,

521
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: as Calvin did, to read it on air, I'll read

522
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: it on air. But Calvin, I can promise you that

523
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: I've said nothing negative against the Jewish people at all.

524
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I am a firm supporter

525
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: of the Jewish community. I yours, truly. Todd Starns, gentile

526
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: happened to be an honorary member of the Jewish Republican

527
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: Club in Memphis, and as far as I know, I'm

528
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: a member in good standing. Although there was an incident

529
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: when I brought some barbecue. I didn't know about the

530
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: pork thing, but I learned. I learned. I'm kosher now,

531
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: well not really anyway, I digress. But all that to say,

532
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: just because I say that America is meant to be

533
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: a Christian nation doesn't mean that Jews are not welcome

534
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: or anybody else. I'm saying that our teachings were founded

535
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 2: on the Old and New Testament. So there is a

536
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: Judeo Christian philosophy at play here, but it's under the

537
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: Christian founding of the nation. Let me just qualify that

538
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: even further. Our nation was founded by Protestants, right they

539
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: were escaping England, and they were escaping religious persecution in

540
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 2: England in the United Kingdom. So overwhelmingly our founding fathers

541
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: were Protestants. Let me continue here. My community contributes mightily

542
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: to the greatness of the country, and the arts, science, commerce, professions, etc.

543
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: Way out of the proportion to our numbers. One of

544
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: the first contributors was Higham Solomon, who donated his entire fortune,

545
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: so Washington could win the Pivotal Battle and Yorktown and

546
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: defeat the British. Solomon died penniless. There's nothing in the

547
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: constitution that makes this a Christian nation unless I badly

548
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: failed my Civics class. Todd. I appreciate your angst. This

549
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 2: is barely a Christian country and by recent accounts sliding fast, which,

550
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 2: by the way, I do not like. We do not want.

551
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: We do not want Islam to replace Judeo Christian moral values.

552
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: It is evil. But come on, Todd, why do you

553
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: have to offend the Jewish community? We are not second class? Calvin.

554
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: What are you talking about here? Where have I I

555
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: want someone to explain to me how yours truly has

556
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: offended the Jewish community. When have I ever said anything

557
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: that would give you pause to think that I was

558
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: treating Jews as second class citizens. It's simply not right.

559
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: That's not correct. He goes on to say, you can

560
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: do better, Todd. We share a belief system, and I

561
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: understand the old anth neew To. I get that he

562
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: says that should seal us as the foundation of a

563
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: great America, even if we do not accept the apothesis

564
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 2: of Jesus kindness regards Calvin, PS. I hope this letter

565
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 2: gets to you. I am still a listener, so talk

566
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: to me about your answer by radio or email. And

567
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: I'm doing that. But again, Calvin, it's because of the

568
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 2: Christian belief system that people of all faiths are able

569
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 2: to practice their religion without fear of persecution, the fact

570
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: of the and look, if the Mayflower were filled with

571
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: Jewish pilgrims, then we would be. I would say, we

572
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: were founded to be a Jewish nation, but we're not.

573
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: We're founded to be a Christian nation, one nation under God.

574
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: And when you read the writings of all of our

575
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: founding fathers, let me pause for a moment, a majority

576
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: of our founding fathers, you understand that they too found

577
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 2: their hope and they put their faith and trust in

578
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Almighty God, and that that is not a slight to

579
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 2: any other religion at all period. As a matter of fact,

580
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: this radio station is is proudly pro Israel, and I

581
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 2: catch a lot of flag for that these days, a lot.

582
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I would contend that WPMO

583
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 2: down there in Pascagoula, Mississippi, WPMO stands with Israel. So Calvin.

584
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate, I appreciate the letter, but I really fear

585
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 2: it's off base because we have done nothing to offend

586
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: the Jewish people on this program except promote pulled pork,

587
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 2: and I cannot apologize for that. I just can't. All Right,

588
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: we got to take a break. Nine oh one two

589
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,680

590
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: letter of the Talvit. I greatly appreciate, and thank you for

00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: listening to WPMO. Nine oh one two six zero five

Speaker 2: nine two six. We'll be right back, all right, welcome back, everybody.

593
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: Good to have you with us. Let's go to the

594
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: phone lines here. Nine oh one two six zero five

595
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: nine two sis. Oh calla Florida. Sonny is on the line. Hey, Sonny,

596
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: Happy New Year to you.

597
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 11: Happy your time. Uh, this stuff with Maduro and what's

598
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 11: going on here, I wish somebody would just study history

599
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 11: a little bit. There's a thing called the Monroe Doctrine,

600
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 11: which was signed you on too, by all the country

601
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 11: surrounding me and basically in this hemisphere, in the southern

602
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 11: part of it. And uh, it's not the first time

603
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 11: about Panama. While we got it's the dictator there that

604
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 11: wasn't Trump, that was somebody else. But their g just

605
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 11: so totally wrong. It's unbelievable.

606
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 2: Well, well, Sonny, let me say this. One of the

607
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 2: reasons why, and I suspect this may be the case.

608
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear a thought on this. One of

609
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: the reasons why is they're just not teaching our kids

610
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 2: American history. And you're right what President James mon Roode said,

611
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: and they saw what was going to happen all the

612
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: way back in eighteen twenty three, and they said, you

613
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 2: know what, we can't we can't be having these European

614
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: countries come over, coming over and colonizing our hemisphere. So

615
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 2: that's going to stop now. And that's in essence what

616
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: became the Monroe doctrine. But Sonny, they're just not teaching

617
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 2: this to the kids.

618
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 12: The teacher, they're not teaching a lot of things to

619
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 12: our children. And this is something that is totally amiss,

620
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 12: and everybody seems to want to look the other way.

621
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 12: I don't get it. We're losing our country by littles

622
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 12: and all of a sudden, one of these days we'll

623
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 12: have a Maduro sitting in the White House.

624
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 2: Sonny to Sonny to that point to that point. Look

625
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: how look how long it took for Venezuela to go

626
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 2: from one of the wealthiest countries in the world to

627
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: eating zoo animals. It took one generation. One generation, that's

628
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 2: all it took. Sonny, gotta leave it there, my friend.

629
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 2: Great to hear from you, And that's the warning to

630
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: the rest of us. It doesn't matter how prosperous we are.

631
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: All it takes is one generation. You're going from drinking

632
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 2: what five dollars lattes at Starbucks to eating a puma

633
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: down at the zoo. And nobody wants that. All right,

634
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 2: gotta take a break. He can tie everybody. Hour two

00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 2: in the old Miss Victory reel. Did you see the videos.

Speaker 3: Yes, I got to see those. That's pretty cool.

645
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,200

648
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 3: ole miss. That is that one.

649
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm just concerned that your uncle did not Maybe

650
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: my invitation got lost in the mail. Did you get

651
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: an invite.

652
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: And I didn't tuck the junk mail though?

653
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 5: Maybe?

654
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: Oh well, that could have been it. That could have

655
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: been it. How about that hotty Toddy.

656
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: Haughty Toddy. I you know, I think some people are

657
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 3: saying they're going to go all the way, but they

658
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: have to run into Indiana.

659
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 2: Indiana. Yeah, oh my goodness, what a great game that was, right,

660
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: and just I mean it was pretty anytime you can

661
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 2: just crush the Crimson tide, it's a great tay.

662
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 3: I would argue both Georgia and Alabama going down as

663
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 3: like the best New Year's that we could start off with.

664
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: It pulled a little pep in my step. Nor could

665
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: have been the you know, the Nike will I was

666
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,680

Speaker 2: real quick, over four thousand college football players now entering

668
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. Oh boy, I mean, how long before

669
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: Trump actually steps in and saves college football from itself?

670
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: That's what I want to know.

671
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 3: Sooner than later.

672
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. That's that's what we got to

684
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 13: Happy New Year, Todd.

685
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 10: Yeah.

686
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 13: I loved the college football over the last week, and

687
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 13: of course the NFL that game last night. I don't

688
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 13: just saw that Steelers Ravens game. That was a crazy

689
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 13: fourth quarter and finish.

690
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: So this is you know, there's a there's a Catholic.

691
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: There's a Catholic storyline here. It turns out before the

692
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: game Pittsburgh had a priest blessed blessed the end zone

693
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 2: where the guy missed the kick.

694
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 13: I know, isn't that crazy? And I feel bad for

695
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 13: the kicker too. He's a rookie, and he had written

696
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 13: a prayer that he read before the game to himself,

697
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 13: and of course he reread the prix city. We read

698
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 13: the prayer after the game anyway. But yeah, Pittsburgh's pretty

699
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 13: Catholic city, and the Rooney family who had owned it

700
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 13: for so long, you know, they were very, very Catholic

701
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 13: and very involved in the Catholic church. So to have

702
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 13: a priest bless the end zone is pretty funny. And hey,

703
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 13: maybe it were.

704
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: You know, you're going to have to I think I've

705
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: got this story if I remember the story correctly. It's

706
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 2: not just it's not just Pittsburgh, but you know, New

707
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 2: Orleans and my dad got transferred down to New Orleans

708
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, So the Saints became a

709
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: favorite team of mine, you know, as a teenager. But

710
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: they were so bad. People used to wear grocery bags

711
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 2: over their face. Remember that the end they call themselves

712
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: the Aints because they couldn't win, and a lot of

713
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: that was because they believe that voodoo queens or these

714
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 2: voodoo people had placed curses on the on the stadium,

715
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl Superdome curse.

716
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 13: Those were even though Manning was a great quarterback, those

717
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 13: were some horrible, horrible Saints teams.

718
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 2: Oh brutal, This is brutal. So anyway, but anyway, you

719
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 2: gotta love the Steelers and what a great game. And

720
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:32,760
Speaker 2: you're right, it was just it was a nice escape

721
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 2: after all the chaos of the news cycle the past

722
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: couple of days.

723
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's true, that's true. You know it was. I mean,

724
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 13: it's just been crazy obviously. You know, look, Trump. The

725
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 13: greatest thing about Donald Trump is there will never be

726
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 13: a boring day. There will never be even when it

727
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 13: says on his schedule he has no public events today,

728
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 13: for the next four days, he has no public events.

729
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 13: You know, something's gonna happen. Oh boy, did it on Saturday?

730
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 2: Hey Rob, are you originally from from the New York

731
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: City area?

732
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 10: Yeah?

733
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 13: Yeah, born and raised just North and Westchester County where

734
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 13: I live, and but I had I have been in

735
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 13: New York City as a you know, in business and

736
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 13: work for a lot of my adult life other than

737
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 13: the eight eight there was when I was Westchester County Executive.

738
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 13: But other than that, I've been, you know, a commuter

739
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 13: into New York City and love New York City. Just

740
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 13: take what is happening now, you.

741
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 2: Know, it's funny. We were we were joking earlier today

742
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 2: about I had actually lived in Brooklyn for fifteen years

743
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 2: and I lived and, believe it or not, Park Slope,

744
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: which is probably the most liberal area of Brooklyn.

745
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 13: And yeah, you're the last person I would ever expect

746
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 13: wandering the streets of Park Slope with all the with

747
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 13: all the hipsters.

748
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 2: You know, It's funny because I sort of like exude

749
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: this whole like Republican vibe, and you know, I would

750
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: walk by and people are like, oh god, we're being gentrified.

751
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: If this is there, goes the neighborhood.

752
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 13: I guess saw a poll by the Way that New

753
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 13: York City residents. A majority of New York City residents

754
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 13: that were polled think that they love the way the

755
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 13: city is going, they love the socialism, and fifteen percent

756
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 13: of those think that they have not gone far enough less.

757
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 13: So this is a city that obviously elected Mamdami, who

758
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 13: is going to be the biggest disaster and a real

759
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 13: experiment in not just New York but in American politics.

760
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 13: And we forget about Katie Wilson, who just got sworn

761
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 13: it in Seattle. By the way, she is way over

762
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 13: her head. I watched her inauguration speech. I mean, it's like,

763
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 13: it's incredible that she would be taking over Seattle, but.

764
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 8: She is that.

765
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 13: She's a community organizer, just like Mamdamie. They never did

766
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 13: this thing in their life, and now they're running. They're

767
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 13: running major US cities. So it's going to be an interesting,

768
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 13: interesting experiment and very costly one, but hopefully it's an

769
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 13: eye opener on what this country is, what's been built,

770
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 13: on why it's successful, versus the failures that we're seeing.

771
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 13: I mean, man, Tommy coming out and condemning, you know,

772
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 13: not condemning Trump, but also putting his arms around Maduro.

773
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 13: I mean, so, I mean, this guy's gone full Marxist.

774
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 13: We knew that he's not covering up anymore. He ain't

775
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 13: like the same, he ain't put the bag over said,

776
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 13: he's proud of what he is. And so we're going

777
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 13: to see we'll see what America has in store.

778
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 2: I was to your point. I thought that he would

779
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: sort of, you know, hedge a little bit of you know,

780
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 2: the the verbiage during the inaugural address, But he just

781
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 2: ripped that band aid off. I want to play this

782
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 2: SoundBite when he's talking about individualism. Cut number four, Please.

783
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 14: And welcome the change. For too long, those fluent in

784
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 14: the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask

785
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 14: agendas of cruelty. Many of these people have been betrayed

786
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 14: by the established order. But in our administration, their needs

787
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 14: will be met. Their hopes and dreams and interests will

788
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 14: be reflected transparently in government. They will shape our future.

789
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 14: And if for too long these communities have existed as

790
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 14: distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together.

791
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 14: We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the

792
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 14: warmth of collectivism. If our campaign demonstrated that the people

793
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 14: of New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government

794
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 14: foster it. Because no matter what you eat, how you pray,

795
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 14: or where you come from, the words that most define

796
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 14: us are the two we all share. New Yorkers.

797
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: All right, Rob, your take on what we just heard

798
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: from the mayor.

799
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 13: Oh my god, I'm so excited. So but he is

800
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 13: a very good speaker. And you know, I watched him

801
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,439
Speaker 13: and I actually said on the air months and months

802
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 13: and months ago that he was going to win that primary.

803
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 13: He was going to catch and beat Cuomo. And the

804
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 13: reason is he excites people. Let's given his due. Okay,

805
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 13: he's a good speaker. He presents well, he doesn't he

806
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 13: talks in platitudes, which is what that speech was. And

807
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 13: he reminds me of Barack Obama in many ways. He

808
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 13: really does. You know, somebody that people want to project

809
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 13: goodness on and excitement about and a cause to get behind.

810
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 13: And so that was Obama, right, you know, his big

811
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 13: war one country.

812
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 15: Blah blah blah, blah blah blah.

813
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 13: But he was a trojan force and all the bad

814
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 13: seeds that he planted, the racism that he ruled upon,

815
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 13: you know when he was president, and just the drip

816
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 13: to the left and all the bad things about the

817
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 13: Obama presidency that you know, ballooned into the garden. And

818
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,920
Speaker 13: then the Biden people around him are all Obama people.

819
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 13: This is what's happening right now in New York and

820
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,440
Speaker 13: you know where you are in Memphis or across the

821
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 13: bridge in Arkansas, or anywhere else in this country. People

822
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 13: are probably like, well, who cares about New York? Who

823
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 13: cares about New York City? Let it burn. The problem

824
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 13: is what happens there with this guy with Mamdami is

825
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 13: a spark to too many people in this country. Too

826
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,959
Speaker 13: many people are ignorant. But they're controlling a major party

827
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 13: right now in this country, and the Democrats, and you're

828
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 13: gonna have the Chuck Schumers of the world, who are

829
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 13: supposed to be the adults in the room. They are

830
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 13: so scared of their left that they're just gonna be

831
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 13: the yes people. They're gonna throw money and policy whatever

832
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 13: they want, just so just so they can stay empowered themselves.

833
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 13: And they're gonna feed the beast. And it's gonna get

834
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 13: worse and worse. And that's why it's a very dangerous experiment.

835
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 13: But it's one that's happening right now, and it's got

836
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 13: to be snuffed out. Yeah, but it's scary.

837
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,280
Speaker 2: Newsmax host Rob Astorino joining us on the Patriot Mobile

838
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 2: Newsmaker line. And you know, the other concerning factor is

839
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: New York is really the communications hub for the nation.

840
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: And so the spin that's going to be coming out

841
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: surrounding this, this socialist move and socialist movement, I think

842
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: it's going to be off the charts. I thought it

843
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: was funny and maybe you could weigh in on this.

844
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 2: They were promoting this huge like block party, celebrating Ma'm dommi,

845
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 2: all this food and festivities, and it turned out to

846
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 2: be a complete dud.

847
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 13: Well, it's a lie, like everything else, he says, and

848
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 13: it will do right. It's a socialism lie. Uh, this

849
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 13: is only for the few of us who are going

850
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 13: to control everything. We're behind the barricade. The rest of

851
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 13: these people, we fooled you, and we're going to take

852
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 13: your money, by the way, and you ain't getting free buses.

853
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 13: So this is I think, a perfect you know, paradox

854
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 13: of what we're going to be dealing with right now.

855
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 13: This is again, this matter what happens in New York

856
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 13: City now over the next four years, it matters to

857
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 13: the rest of America. Yeah, as you mentioned, the communication

858
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 13: is to finance all that kind of stuff that's almost secondary.

859
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 13: He takes hold and this s Browns and this become.

860
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 8: You know, little Mam Dammis or you know, all.

861
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 13: Over the country now and they start to win. This

862
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 13: is a very dangerous, perilous time for this country going forward.

863
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 2: When you look back at what just happened in Venezuela.

864
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: That all started back in the what gosh, mid nineteen nineties.

865
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: So within a generation you went from having one of

866
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 2: the most prosperous democracies in the nation, in the world

867
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 2: rather to a situation where the people are forced to

868
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 2: eat food out of the local zoo. It's amazing how quickly,

869
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 2: you know, you can lose your freedom and lose your liberty.

870
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, and too many quote educated people don't understand that.

871
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

872
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 13: I saw the they were putting on the video of

873
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 13: the protests against Trump yesterday and he quoted and dictator

874
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 13: blah blah blah. What they weren't really showing in Times

875
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 13: Square and in other places like Miami were the Venezuelan

876
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 13: flags of people jumping for joy, like they've been liberated

877
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 13: and they could go home again. And I love the

878
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 13: comments by the you know, the former Venezuelans or I

879
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 13: guess still Venezuelans or here in the US, that they

880
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 13: were just shouting back at these imbecills, and you know,

881
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 13: they were highly quote highly educated. I love that there

882
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 13: over educated white liberal rich imbeciles that have no clue,

883
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 13: and they were being shouted at by those who went

884
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 13: through the oppression that you know nothing what you're talking about.

885
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 13: And and you didn't see a lot of that. What

886
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 13: you saw was the anti Trump protests.

887
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, real quick, we've got to leave it there, Rob,

888
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: But you're doing a just a terrific job on Newsmax.

889
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,760
Speaker 2: Isn't it refreshing that we have a cable news channel

890
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 2: that we can talk about these kinds of issues.

891
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,359
Speaker 13: Yeah, because if you watch the networks or you watch

892
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 13: the other cable channels, you're not getting any of this stuff.

893
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 13: You're getting to spin that is again part parcel of

894
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 13: Democratic Party, which is very dangerous.

895
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said Rob. We'd love to get you back

896
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:25,160

Speaker 2: Chick fil A of course now doubling down, and Chick

912
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 2: fil A says they are going to embrace diversity, equity

913
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: and inclusion. Let's take a listen to that conversation. Tony Perkins,

914
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,799
Speaker 2: Family Research Council president joins us. Now, Tony, good to

915
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 2: see you. Now, you guys have been leading the charge

916
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 2: with sort of outing Chick fil A here, what can

917
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 2: you tell us about their woke policies?

918
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 16: Well, Todd, as you just pointed out, the tide has

919
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 16: turned on DEI. We have major corporations target in. We've

920
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 16: got Coca Cola, and we've got others that are moving

921
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 16: away from DEI. But yet we have Chick fil A

922
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 16: that really has dug in on this, which is quite

923
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 16: astounding given there as you pointed out, their faith background.

924
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 16: I mean if they have a constituency, a customer base

925
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 16: that you know not only likes their chicken, but if

926
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 16: you go back about thirteen years when they're their owner

927
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 16: founder who's no longer alive, took a stand on marriage.

928
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 16: You know, that's really what put them on the map,

929
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 16: because they began to be boycotted by those who were

930
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 16: pushing this leftist agenda, and they said, no, we stand

931
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 16: for marriage between a man and a woman.

932
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: And you might remember.

933
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 16: Governor Huckabee, then Governor huckemy now ambassador to Israel, supported him.

934
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 16: We did, and it's quite astounding that they are stuck

935
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 16: in this DEI rut Tony.

936
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 2: Do you regret Do you regret supporting Chick fil A?

937
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 16: Well, first of no, I mean I would support any

938
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 16: entity that stands up for biblical values, and that's what

939
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 16: their founder, true Kathy did, and so I supported that

940
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 16: they've changed change, Clearly they've changed. I thought they were

941
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 16: going to come back to to to understanding of what

942
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 16: is right and what is wrong with biblical understanding and

943
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 16: hold to that and their values as the corporation. Even

944
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 16: I've had conversations with some of their corporate leaders. But

945
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 16: you know, these latest revelations about celebrating same sex marriage,

946
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,720
Speaker 16: and some of their stores.

947
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: Clearly shows that they have not.

948
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 16: I mean, I don't think they understand, Todd, what many

949
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 16: other corporations understand. The wages of THEI are death business wise,

950
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,839
Speaker 16: and so I think more than the government weighing in

951
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 16: on this, I think consumers need to say, Hey, you know,

952
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 16: I'll pass on that chicken sandwich, I'll have a burger,

953
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 16: or I'll go to another Chicken establishment if that's what

954
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 16: you want to do. It's one thing to hold yourself

955
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 16: out as a faith based company, but then to embrace

956
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 16: values that are counter to that. That's that's the problem here.

957
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 2: It's an interesting thought, and I'm wondering, if you are

958
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: a person of faith, do you feel betrayed by Chick

959
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 2: fil A now that they've decided to embrace diversity, equity

960
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: and inclusion. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

961
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 2: two six our telephone number. We'll take your calls on that.

962
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

963
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 2: Hang Ty, gotta take a break. This is the Todd

964
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: Sterns Show, you know, Dylan, I think I still have

965
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: a hangover from the niquel shots. I just had this

966
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 2: like Dejaen who experienced like it was weird. I was

967
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 2: supposed to do something that maybe I haven't done yet

968
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 2: that I forget got to do it. I can't remember

969
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: what it is.

970
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: Wow, that's that's probably the most terrifying thing, other than

971
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 3: maybe seeing your sleep Paralysis teamon still awake.

972
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 2: It's driving me insane right now. It's and and here's

973
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 2: how bad it is. I'm doing the throat coat tea

974
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 2: and I think I've got the original with slippery elm.

975
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 2: So maybe that's it. Maybe maybe I'm getting some sort

976
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 2: of a HIGHCA help you. I don't know, I don't know.

977
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: I should have called in today. This is the problem.

978
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 2: I hate being away from the microphone and I should

979
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: have just stayed home and gotten back.

980
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 5: You know.

981
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm also on a major book deadline, and I had

982
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 2: all these there was one day. There was one day

983
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 2: where I completely slept through the entire day. I think

984
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 2: it was Friday.

985
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 3: That's yeah, Well, I know you and I know that

986
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 3: you would rather do the show from your bed than

987
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 3: miss work. So you're very hard work.

988
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: It's you know, it is what it is. Oh, I

989
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: remember what it is now, Thank you. See I was

990
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 2: able to work through the issue. We've got to We

991
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 2: don't do this very often, but I need to do this.

1015
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 2: good buddy, Steve Gill, publisher of tri Star Daily dot Com,

1016
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 2: joins us. Steve, A happy New Year to you, my friend.

1017
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 10: Happy New Year, and man, it's been a crazy first

1018
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 10: five days, hasn't it.

1019
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: It has been insane, absolutely insane.

1020
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 10: By the way, there's some breaking news. President Trump, who

1021
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 10: renamed Gulf of Mexico Golf of America, has now apparently

1022
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 10: decided that Venezuela should be known as Trumpezuela and that

1023
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 10: Caracas will henceforth be known as Coralago.

1024
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Oh I like that. It's got a nice ring to it.

1025
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with the Seaside Villa and wow, okay, well

1026
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: breaking news here on the Tom Stems radio show. There

1027
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 2: you go, you know, Steve as we're following all of

1028
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 2: the developments with what's happening in Venezuela, what's happening with

1029
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 2: New York City, and ma'm domi. We just had Rob

1030
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 2: Astorino on from Newsmax. You know, the reality is we

1031
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 2: are now launching full bore into election time. Midterms right

1032
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 2: around the corner, and I'm wondering how things are going

1033
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 2: to play out, you know, MTG last day up on

1034
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. How do you think this is all going

1035
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 2: to go for the Republicans?

1036
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 10: You know, I think the economy is ultimately going to

1037
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 10: be what matters most of people, you know, how they

1038
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 10: feel about their pocketbooks. Come you know, primary season, come

1039
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 10: general election season next November, and we're a long way

1040
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 10: from that. But I think that the winds will be

1041
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 10: blowing in the right direction for Republicans as we see

1042
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 10: the benefit of the Big Beautiful Bills start to kick in.

1043
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 10: The lower taxes, the fact that we avoided the higher

1044
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 10: taxes that the Democrats would have foisted upon it said,

1045
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 10: we got passed the Big Beautiful Bill. I think the

1046
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 10: fact that you're going to see Jerome Powell's exit from

1047
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 10: the Fed and we will see lower interest rates, will

1048
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 10: help the mortgage rates, it will help rental rates, to

1049
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 10: help people buying cars. So all of these things are

1050
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 10: going to move in the direction that will benefit the Republicans.

1051
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 10: And then it's oil prices and bread prices and milk

1052
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 10: prices and other come down, people will feel the benefits

1053
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 10: in their pocketbooks as well of lower energy prices, which

1054
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 10: are probably going to even intensify after what's been happening

1055
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 10: in Venezuela. So I think the economy is going to

1056
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 10: be the issue that's going to matter most. And the

1057
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 10: fact that Democrats are, you know, wanting to march in

1058
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 10: the streets and support a dictator and maybe have Margarita's

1059
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 10: with the illegal aliens and support Somoli daycare centers. I

1060
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 10: think in the long run, those are going to have

1061
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 10: less impact than the economy by the time Republicans roll

1062
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 10: into the mid terms, and I think that bodes well

1063
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 10: for Republicans.

1064
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 2: You know, another big issue that we've heard, We've heard

1065
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 2: from so many of our younger listeners, those Jenalpha's and

1066
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 2: gen z ers out there, is the affordability issue. And

1067
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 2: there's a report out from the National Association of Realtors.

1068
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 2: They say that housing prices are coming down, the interest

1069
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 2: rates are coming down, and this is going to be

1070
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 2: an incredibly healthy market over the next little while for

1071
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 2: young people to get out there and buy that first

1072
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 2: starter home.

1073
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 10: Well, and tod we know that the Socialists and Democrats

1074
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 10: are really bad at mass and even worse at economic policy.

1075
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 10: But you know, some rules still apply regardless of whether

1076
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 10: Democrats like them. Gravity is real. What goes up does

1077
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 10: come down. And when you look at at the costs

1078
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 10: that we're bearing of the illegal immigrants by the millions,

1079
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 10: being a drain on our economy in terms of the

1080
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 10: cost of free health care and daycare and everything else

1081
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 10: we're seeing roll out of the Somali situation. But also

1082
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 10: the law supply and demand is real, and as you

1083
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 10: have the illegals exit, that lowers the demand on apartments

1084
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 10: and housing and will reduce the prices so that lawful,

1085
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 10: legal Americans will get the benefits of that. Now, this

1086
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 10: stuff doesn't happen overnight. The tariff readjusted Trump did with

1087
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 10: our foreign adversaries who were keeping us out of their

1088
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 10: markets and using us and ours. Our farmers are going

1089
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 10: to benefit. But you don't plant props today and harvest

1090
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 10: them tomorrow. So the benefits of a lot of these

1091
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,919
Speaker 10: Trump policies, including the Big Beautiful Bill, including bringing back

1092
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,200
Speaker 10: investments to the US to create more factories, more manufacturing,

1093
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 10: and more jobs, does take time, but a lot of

1094
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 10: that time is going to bear fruits by November well.

1095
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 2: And again some of it will take a little time.

1096
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,240
Speaker 2: For example, grocery prices, Well, we've got the price of

1097
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: diesel has not come down yet, and those prices of

1098
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 2: the supermarket are not going to come down until they

1099
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 2: can get a handle on diesel. So again, I think

1100
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 2: overall we're looking at a very bright economic future here

1101
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 2: leading into the midterms. I think a lot of it

1102
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 2: now turns to the Senate. Will Majority Leader Thoon finally

1103
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,600
Speaker 2: agree to lift the filibuster due away with the filibusters,

1104
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 2: so we get we can get the Save Act passed.

1105
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, we've got to pass the Save Act. We've got

1106
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 10: to pass you know, some of the other legislation that

1107
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 10: has passed the House. And and I'm frustrated as you

1108
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 10: are that the House is, you know, only working part

1109
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 10: time rather than continuing to pass legislation. But you got

1110
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 10: a bottleneck where the Senate won't even bring things up

1111
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 10: so thet's passed anything where you know, essentially one Democrat

1112
01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 10: vote can block everything from appointments to the passing legislation.

1113
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 10: So the ball is in the court of John Boone

1114
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,960
Speaker 10: to adapt the rule. And these are not laws, this

1115
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 10: is just a rule of the Senate. That allows the

1116
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 10: Democrats to block legislation that is passing an House and

1117
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 10: that the American people overwhelmingly support. So soon needs to

1118
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 10: pass the Save Act make sure that we're going to

1119
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 10: have honest, legitimate elections to prevent the next election cycle

1120
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 10: from being one of steps like we've seen in the past,

1121
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 10: is now being completely proven that they uh, you know,

1122
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 10: rig the elections in the path. Let's stop it moving

1123
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 10: forward and let's pass the other legislation. I know Tim

1124
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 10: Burchet's on your show regularly. We're still sending forty million

1125
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 10: a week to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Let's stop the

1126
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 10: stuff that's training the pocketbooks of the American taxpayer, and

1127
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 10: that requires action by the Senate.

1128
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. By the way, Burchet wants

1129
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 2: to be chair of the Doche Committee. I would support

1130
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 2: that one thousand percent.

1131
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 10: Except that he's going to require everybody to wear Carhart

1132
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 10: jackets at the meeting, and I'm not sure that. I'm

1133
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 10: not sure that's the right approach.

1134
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 2: That's not not.

1135
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 10: Wrong very often that would be the only wrong.

1136
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's a fair point, by the way. I

1137
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 2: don't know if you've seen there has been an uptick

1138
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: in outrage over nil and I also understand what four thousand,

1139
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 2: more than four thousand athletes jumping into the transfer portal.

1140
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: You think, do you think it's going to take Congress

1141
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,160
Speaker 2: or President Trump stepping into save college sports.

1142
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 10: It's gonna take somebody stepping in, because look, even the

1143
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 10: NFL doesn't allow you to change, you know, mid season

1144
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 10: or at halftime from one jersey to the next, you know,

1145
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 10: because you get an uptick and what somebody's willing to

1146
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 10: pay you. They need to have contracts, they need to

1147
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 10: have longer term contracts. And I think there are a

1148
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 10: lot of good solutions out there, but the NCAA completely

1149
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 10: drops the ball in setting a system that would have worked.

1150
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 10: Congress failed to act to give protections to colleges and

1151
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 10: universities to be freed from, you know, the spread of

1152
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 10: anti trust action. So I think there's a lot of

1153
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 10: hands that now that dip into the cookie jar to

1154
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 10: fix things. And the sooner the better, because this idea

1155
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 10: that you know, you've got some of these kids that

1156
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 10: are playing for four different colleges in four years and

1157
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 10: simply upgrading their their revenue from one year to the next.

1158
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 10: It's just an out of control system that no other

1159
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 10: support system has in place.

1160
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: It's true, it's a fair point. And again, these are

1161
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 2: supposed to be student athletes, and the student part of

1162
01:07:58,480 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: that's getting left out of the equation.

1163
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 10: Well, and again, if I'm a quarterback in three or

1164
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 10: four million dollars, I better be sharing the wealth with

1165
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 10: my lineman or it's going to be amazing how many

1166
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 10: miss blocks end up taking out my knees.

1167
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough, And what a great weekend where

1168
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,320
Speaker 2: Georgia and Alabama go down.

1169
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 10: Yeah, the best thing about this this start of this

1170
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 10: New Years I didn't have to hear roll tied at

1171
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 10: all this week, and that's always a good week from

1172
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,639
Speaker 10: my standpoint. I do think it's hilarious that you've got

1173
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 10: Lane Kiffen who left Ole Myth for LSU. He just

1174
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 10: turned a half million dollar bonus because ole mis won,

1175
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 10: and therefore he gets a half million dollar bonus from

1176
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 10: LSU because his carefully negotiated contract gives him the benefit

1177
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 10: of whatever Ole Myth does. Yeah, he's up for I

1178
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 10: think another seven hundred and fifty thousand if they win

1179
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 10: this next round, and a million if they win a

1180
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 10: national championship. Although Karma does still know Lane Kiffen's address.

1181
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 10: He has to play at both Old Myths and in

1182
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 10: Knoxville this coming season.

1183
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 2: He sure does. And that's gonna be a wild, a

1184
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 2: wild game at at Oxford. I can tell you that

1185
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 2: right now, Steve, because people are rightfully so. I mean,

1186
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin really is not a good, decent human being,

1187
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 2: and that's that's the problem here. He's a sleeves ball.

1188
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 10: I think the boopers in Oxford and Knoxville are already

1189
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 10: warming up their lungs, you know, eight months ahead of

1190
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 10: the tame.

1191
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt about it, all right, Steve, we gotta

1192
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 2: leave it there. Try stardaily dot com. Steve is publisher

1193
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 2: that great website. You gotta go check it out. Try

1195
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 2: appreciate it. My goodness, I've been drinking this. Uh. I

1196
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: had another gallon of the tea here, I put it

1197
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 2: in the microwave. Dylan, I'm it's a slow process. Yeah,

1198
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 2: it's a slow no. I wish it was. I wish

1199
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 2: it was. All right, We're going to take a break,

1200
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 2: going right to your calls, and if you are listening

Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

1206
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show.

1207
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:26,200
Speaker 7: You know.

1208
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:29,679
Speaker 2: One of the fun things about what we do here

1209
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 2: on the Todd Stern Show. We have a lot of

1210
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,519
Speaker 2: great young people working for the program, and many of

1211
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: them are interns and then they go on to other

1212
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 2: things in life. And I got to give a big

1213
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 2: shout out to Jeremiah Poff, who worked with us for

1214
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 2: several years while he was in school and then afterwards

1215
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 2: and has just been named as the opinion editor for

1216
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: the Washington Post. So that's sort of exciting because Jeremiah

1217
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 2: is a rock solid conservative. So congratulations to Jeremiah. Just

1218
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,719
Speaker 2: got married I think last year, So big doings there,

1219
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 2: and we certainly celebrate all of the great work that

1220
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 2: our alumni are doing here on the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

1221
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the phone lines. Nine oh

1222
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine

1223
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,759
Speaker 2: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Wayne

1224
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 2: and Newbern, North Carolina, listening to us on detalk station. Hi, Wayne,

1225
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 2: what's going on?

1226
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 17: Well, I just would like to give my support to

1227
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 17: the mission in Venezuela. I may be a little partial

1228
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 17: of the retired Marine Corps, but so proud of the

1229
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:44,360
Speaker 17: military and their ability to execute the mission. So well,

1230
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 17: what I'm calling about is the yesterday I watched the

1231
01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 17: Face Nation where the Secture State Reveal was being interviewed

1232
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 17: and the lady, I mean, she's kind of bad room

1233
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 17: trying to badge them anyway and say, how how come

1234
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 17: they didn't get the other people that were indicted as

1235
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 17: well as as Madero and his wife, which would take

1236
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 17: who knows where they all were. But that was kind

1237
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 17: of a crazy question, I thought. But my comment would

1238
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:23,600
Speaker 17: be that now that that Delsi Rodriquez is sworn in

1239
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 17: as the president and she says she's cooperating, uh, you

1240
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 17: know with the United States, why don't we ask her

1241
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 17: to return those other people indicted as a as a

1242
01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 17: good state that she's actually really cooperating or that might

1243
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:42,880
Speaker 17: push your button to show that she's really not cooperating.

1244
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's that is an interesting thought. As we go,

1245
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 2: you know, again, as we go through all of this,

1246
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 2: I think they are going to be more shoes to drop. Wayne,

1247
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 2: what do you think the real story here is? Do

1248
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 2: you think it's really about the drugs or you think

1249
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 2: it's about something else?

1250
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 17: Well, I actually believe it's I mean, drugs is so huge.

1251
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 17: I do believe it is about the drugs. But from

1252
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 17: my knowledge of the oil and stuff like this that

1253
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 17: in the past, they haven't had the capability to process it.

1254
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 17: That's why we were partners with them. And then at

1255
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 17: some point the communists took over the country and our

1256
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 17: companies over there. So I think it's a combination of

1257
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 17: that and the oil is truly big, and we'll make

1258
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 17: the biggest difference on our economy and the direction we're going.

1259
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 2: Wayne. It's a good point and we will see how

1260
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 2: all this plays out. I think I think the American

1261
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 2: people are going to be surprised. This is not the

1262
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,720
Speaker 2: last step we're going to be taking, and it's not

1263
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 2: just Venezuela. Over the weekend we had an unusual amount

1264
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 2: of aircraft bound for the UK, which is a leading

1265
01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 2: folks to wonder are we getting ready to make a

1266
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: strike on Iran? Where And again this is a little

1267
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 2: reported story where you've got thousands of Iranians that are

1268
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 2: taking to the streets protesting the Ayatolas. So the shaw

1269
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:15,799
Speaker 2: of the Shaw of Iran could be reinstalled in a

1270
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:19,080
Speaker 2: very short amount of time. So we're looking at massive

1271
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 2: changes that are happening around the globe that will have consequences,

1272
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 2: I think positive consequences on the America First movement.

1273
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 17: I'm all for it all.

1274
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you, Wane, and I know there and

1275
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate that call, thank you. And I know there

1276
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 2: are a lot of folks out there, and you've got

1277
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 2: the mtgs and the Candice Owens and the Tucker Carlson's

1278
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 2: of the world, and they're acting as if we are

1279
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 2: launching World War three. What they don't understand here is

1280
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 2: that Trump is preventing World War three. But Trump is

1281
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 2: also protecting the homeland, which is in fact an America

1282
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 2: First Agenda item. And for the President to do that,

1283
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 2: he needs support, not criticism. And it's unwarranted criticism from MTG.

1284
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 2: And keep in mind, all of you folks in Georgia

1285
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 2: know this, MTG. The only reason she turned against President

1286
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,840
Speaker 2: Trump is that they told her the truth, and they

1287
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 2: told her that she would not be able to win

1288
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 2: a statewide race in the state of Georgia, and that

1289
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 2: was the end of the relationship. That's that's how that

1290
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 2: went with Tucker and Candice Owens and the others. They're

1291
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 2: just right now. There's Tucker is going through something. And

1292
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 2: I raised this issue back when remember Tucker just what

1293
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: is it? A couple of months back talked about how

1294
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,639
Speaker 2: he thought he had a dream that he was fighting

1295
01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 2: with a demon and he woke up and he said

1296
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 2: his entire body was covered in scratches and he was bleeding,

1297
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 2: and something's not right there, Something is not right. All right,

1298
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,200
Speaker 2: We've got to take a quick break. Coming up, General

1299
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 2: John Tiger going to talk about what the Air Force

1300
01:15:57,880 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 2: did down in Venezuela. Also New York City Councilwoman Vicki

1301
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 2: Palladino and your calls. This is the Todd Sterns Show,

Speaker 2: Live from.

1303
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 1: The Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's favorite,

1304
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: gun toting, bible clinging, deplorable America.

1305
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:40,839
Speaker 2: That's loves American. Todd starts. Welcome and hello, everybody. Welcome

01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:47,479
Speaker 2: Big Show. Wow you know, we had a lot of

1308
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 2: Navy fans in town for the Liberty Ball. What a

1309
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 2: great ball game. It rained cats and dogs. It was

1310
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:58,840
Speaker 2: so miserable, but had a really boisterous crowd. There are

1311
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: a lot of folks in town. It was sort of

1312
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 2: expecting to see our next guest. I know he's an

1313
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Air Force fellaw a General John Tigert, former base commander

1314
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 2: at Edwards and Joint Bass Andrews. But you have some

1315
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 2: connections to the Naval Academy as well.

1316
01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 15: God I do good afternoon. It's another great day to

1317
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 15: be an American. And my wife is a chemistry professor

1318
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 15: at the Naval Academy. And that team dominated this year.

1319
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 15: They went eleven and two. They won the Bowl game

1320
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 15: there in Memphis, and we are so proud of them.

1321
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,479
Speaker 2: They did a great job. And of course, you know,

1322
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:32,920
Speaker 2: we have a lot of Navy veterans here in the

1323
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 2: Memphis area with the what do they call it's in Millington,

1324
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 2: which is used to be a naval base and now

1325
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 2: I know they do a lot of support work out

1326
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 2: of there. But we have a lot of great, great

1327
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 2: veterans here in the Mid South, and it was good

1328
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 2: to see. It was good to see Navy put on

1329
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 2: a great game.

1330
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,320
Speaker 15: They had a superb season. They beat up on Army,

1331
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 15: which is the most important game of the year. But

1332
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 15: it was awesome to see them win that bowl game

1333
01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 15: and really have a stellar season all around.

1334
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 2: And we can't leave out Vanderbilt, which you have another

1335
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 2: connection to, but they had a tremendous season. That was a.

1336
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:10,720
Speaker 15: Shocking they did. My son goes there. In fact, he's

1337
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 15: painted his body. He's been a bee, he's been a y,

1338
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 15: he's been a t And they really had a great season.

1339
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 15: They sizzled out there in the bowl game. But I'll

1340
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 15: tell you a big win against Tennessee in Knoxville at

1341
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,520
Speaker 15: the end of the season punctuated what was a magnificent

1342
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 15: year for Vandy.

1343
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,599
Speaker 2: You didn't have to bring that up, John, Come on, now,

1344
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 2: come on now, I know I should got to be polite, Jenner.

1345
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:37,839
Speaker 2: Retired General John Tigert joining us here on the Patriot

1346
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 2: Weble Newsmaker line, and we'll tell you about his book

1347
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 2: in just a minute. He's a great writer. John Tygert

1348
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 2: dot com is the website address. And I have to

1349
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 2: tell you it was really just jaw dropping to watch

1350
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 2: the events unfold in Venezuela, and a lot of people

1351
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: were filming the video on their smartphones down there. Take

1352
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 2: us through what happened. I mean this this was a

1353
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,040
Speaker 2: really brilliant strategy coming from the Pentagon.

1354
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:07,440
Speaker 15: It was todd and it really was a brilliant demonstration

1355
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 15: of dominant US military capability. The President characterized it with

1356
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 15: the words like speed, power, precision, and competence. But I

1357
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 15: love the press conference where the Chairman of the Joint

1358
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 15: Piece of Staff, General Raisin Kane, described in detail one

1359
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 15: hundred and fifty aircraft from twenty different bases converging to

1360
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:32,719
Speaker 15: one place at one time with a singular mission focus,

1361
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:36,759
Speaker 15: which was to nab A Maduro and to ex fill

1362
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 15: out from Venezuela. And the fact that they did so

1363
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,520
Speaker 15: with no American loss of life in such a densely populated,

1364
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 15: highly dense air defense area really just demonstrates to the

1365
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 15: rest of the world how no one comes close to

1366
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 15: the United States of America.

1367
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 2: You know, over the weekend one of the you know,

1368
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 2: you know how social media is, and they've got people

1369
01:19:57,080 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 2: watching all the flight paths and all that sort of stuff.

1370
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 2: There was a lot of hullabluo about an increase in

1371
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 2: air traffic from the United States to the UK. This

1372
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:10,600
Speaker 2: is going to sound like a silly question, but is

1373
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 2: that problematic for the military? You know, they're trying to

1374
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 2: maybe have some you know, stage some sort of surprise attack,

1375
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 2: and you've got folks on X that are tracking aircraft

1376
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 2: and whatnot.

1377
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 15: Pod it is and it makes it all the incumbent

1378
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 15: upon military planners to have enough deception thrown into the

1379
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 15: mix about air travel, so it throws people off the say,

1380
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 15: you know, you and I had a conversation on the

1381
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 15: impending attack against the RAN back in June. Similarly, you've

1382
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 15: got to weave into your planning a deception plan so

1383
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 15: that people are thrown off of the set of what

1384
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 15: you're likely to do.

1385
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 2: It's interesting, though, when you look at at Hegseth as

1386
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 2: the War Secretary, and he has gotten so much grief

1387
01:20:53,400 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 2: from the media, from Democrats, even some Senate Republicans, and

1388
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 2: yet I mean, it looks like he's doing a pretty

1389
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 2: darn good job of things right now.

1390
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 12: Todd.

1391
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 15: I think it's important to realize that our recruiting and

1392
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 15: retention numbers are through the roof.

1393
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 10: It's because we're.

1394
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 15: Getting back to a focus on the mission we're getting

1395
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 15: back to a focus on lethality and readiness. And by

1396
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,200
Speaker 15: the way, it doesn't hurt when we demonstrate capabilities that

1397
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 15: only the American American military can accomplish, like we did

1398
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 15: in Iran in June and like we did Friday night

1399
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 15: in Venezuela.

1400
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,759
Speaker 2: I'm wondering, General, when you look at at what's happening

1401
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:34,440
Speaker 2: in Venezuela. I know the President mentioned Colombia, maybe Mexico

1402
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:39,560
Speaker 2: and Cuba from a strategy standpoint, From a military standpoint,

1403
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,400
Speaker 2: how important is it for us to keep our enemies

1404
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 2: like China, like Russia out of our hemisphere?

1405
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 15: Todd, The biggest outcome from what happened on Friday is

1406
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 15: knowing that She in China is watching, or Putin in

1407
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 15: Russia is watching her, Kim Jong un in North Korea

1408
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 15: watching because the turrns. The ability to stop your enemies

1409
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 15: from doing the things you don't want them to do

1410
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,320
Speaker 15: comes down to them believing you have strength of capability

1411
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,840
Speaker 15: and strength of will. And we provided an unquestioned demonstration

1412
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 15: of that strength of capability and will on Friday night.

1413
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:19,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was truly remarkable. And again is what under

1414
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 2: four hours? Is that what they said that was just remarkable.

1415
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 15: Well, and I think it's also important to realize that

1416
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 15: the mission was originally planned to take place four days

1417
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 15: prior but was called off because of weather. So what

1418
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 15: likely was happening is every single day those crews, the

1419
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 15: one hundred and fifty planes or so, and all of

1420
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 15: those that support them were ready to go, right up

1421
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 15: to the moment where the President did or did not

1422
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 15: make the decision to go. And it was four days

1423
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 15: of that until Friday night. The go order was sent

1424
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 15: at around ten twenty six pm Eastern time on Friday night,

1425
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 15: and we.

1426
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 2: Were hearing that there were CIA operations involved in this

1427
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 2: as well. They had boots on the ground assets. I

1428
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:00,839
Speaker 2: guess they had one of the ass such was actually

1429
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 2: within the inner circle there. How long does it take you,

1430
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,799
Speaker 2: on average to plan and prepare and execute a mission

1431
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 2: like we saw take place over the weekend?

1432
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 15: Todd, Well, part of it goes back years because those assets,

1433
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 15: maybe in Maduro's inner circle, are human intelligence assets, and

1434
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 15: it takes years to cultivate those types of assets. But

1435
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 15: specifically for a plan like this, I suspect did Chairman

1436
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 15: and the US Southern Command commander drew up options for

1437
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 15: the president as far back as four months ago, updated

1438
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,160
Speaker 15: those options for the president, and finally the President made

1439
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 15: a decision to go on Friday Night.

1440
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: John Tigert joining US great website John Tygert dot com.

1441
01:23:44,840 --> 01:23:48,160
Speaker 2: That's T E I C H E R T. And

1442
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,640
Speaker 2: not only are you a great speaker, I mean you're retired,

1443
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 2: but I don't think you actually retired. I mean you're

1444
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 2: busier now than I think you were in the military.

1445
01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 10: Todd.

1446
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 15: I didn't get out of the military because I wanted

1447
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 15: to start playing a lot of golf, even though I

1448
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 15: like golf. But I did so so that I could

1449
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 15: make a more greater impact on our country than I

1450
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:10,040
Speaker 15: could in the military. And I'm working towards that by speaking,

1451
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 15: writing media, and who knows, maybe another US Center run

1452
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:13,799
Speaker 15: in the future.

1453
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 2: Well you'd be great up on Capitol Hill, no doubt

1454
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 2: about that. I want to talk about your book, and

1455
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 2: you've got a couple of books out. This one is

1456
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:26,400
Speaker 2: on leadership Boom leadership that breaks barriers, challenges convention, and

1457
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:30,839
Speaker 2: ignites innovation. You know, sometimes when people, you know, they

1458
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 2: write books about leadership, they leave out the part about

1459
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 2: service as well, which I have to imagine is a

1460
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 2: big part of being a leader. What is the key

1461
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 2: to being a great leader?

1462
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 10: Todd?

1463
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 15: One of those keys is genuine caring concern for the

1464
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 15: people that are around you, helping me to become the

1465
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 15: best possible version of themselves. But in order to innovate,

1466
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 15: you need to create a cycle that I call the listen,

1467
01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 15: consider act cycle, where everyone in your organization believes if

1468
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:03,839
Speaker 15: they've got an idea, someone is listening, someone will consider

1469
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,719
Speaker 15: it and they'll take action appropriately. And if you're caring

1470
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 15: for them to help them become the best possible version

1471
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 15: of themselves and listening, considering and acting, then you're going

1472
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 15: to unlock and eate human talent and you're going to

1473
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:15,719
Speaker 15: see your team thrived.

1474
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:20,320
Speaker 2: I love this when you're out talking and leading these seminars.

1475
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 2: Is there a typical question that you would normally get

1476
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:24,599
Speaker 2: from the audience?

1477
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,679
Speaker 15: People want to know, how do you get past toxic leaders?

1478
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 15: That's the common question. And my answer is that you

1479
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 15: find a way to resonate with the things that benefit

1480
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 15: that leader, that toxic leader so that you speak their

1481
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 15: love language, and when you do that, you actually find

1482
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,760
Speaker 15: a way around their toxicity and they align with what

1483
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 15: you and your team are hoping to do. And another

1484
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 15: trick to that is you tell them what you're doing.

1485
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 15: You don't ask permission because toxic leaders tend to say no,

1486
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,679
Speaker 15: and if you just tell them what you're doing and why,

1487
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 15: then they tend to leave you alone.

1488
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 2: I feel bad now. I just Dylan, I told you no,

1489
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: you wanted to take a day off last week, and

1490
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 2: I said, no, you can't do it. I'm a bad leader.

1491
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:09,639
Speaker 3: Can confirm that. Now.

1492
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 15: Sometimes you got to say no. You just explain the

1493
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,439
Speaker 15: why to the no, and then typically it's.

1494
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess I should I should have done that.

1495
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:20,480
Speaker 2: I should have explained and I said no, Are you crazy?

1496
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:23,240
Speaker 15: Well, I think you probably have a pretty good relationship

1497
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 15: with your team. They're Todd, and they.

1498
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 10: Know where your heart is.

1499
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're good folks. They're good folks. Here John Tiger

1500
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,519
Speaker 2: joining us. Also, I want to plug your devotion book.

1501
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 2: I was just reading this last night. I've got it

1502
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 2: on my nightstand, A ninety day devotional guide for American Christians,

1503
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 2: Prayers for a Nation. I just can tell you from

1504
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:46,000
Speaker 2: writing a devotion book that is a lot of work.

1505
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 15: It is, by the way, I love your books, all

1506
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 15: of your books, Todd, and the one that came out

1507
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 15: this last year was stellar, but it was something that

1508
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 15: was in my heart actually when I started a ministry

1509
01:26:57,479 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 15: a decade and a half ago plus pro lunchtime for

1510
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 15: the United States about how the least we should do

1511
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 15: and the most we can do is concern Christian citizens,

1512
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 15: is to pray for our country and our leaders, and

1513
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 15: that devotional book helps along those lines.

1514
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,960
Speaker 2: All right, folks, you can get those books wherever you

1515
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 2: buy your books, or you can go to John Tyker

1516
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 2: dot com and get them there. General always good, good

1517

1520
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:29,439

1540
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:49,679
Speaker 2: This is a disturbing story. Class action lawsuit customers across

1541
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 2: America suing McDonald's. They claim the McRib sandwich does not

1542
01:28:54,760 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 2: actually contain any pork rib meat. Really, there's surprised by that.

1543
01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 2: The lawsuit claims McDonald's is deceiving customers who reasonably believed

1544
01:29:08,720 --> 01:29:12,040
Speaker 2: that a product named the McRib would include at least

1545
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:16,800
Speaker 2: some meaningful quality of actual pork rib meat. Dylan, you

1546
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:18,240
Speaker 2: ever had a mcgrib sandwich?

1547
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 3: No, And this is the exact reason why I don't

1548
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 3: trust it.

1549
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 2: It looks like I mean, it looks like it could.

1550
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 2: It's sort of shaped like a McRib.

1551
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 3: Is it is looks can be deceiving you. It looks

1552
01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:31,080
Speaker 3: very It looks good because it's very saut saut up.

1553
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 2: It's got the white onion there and the bright green pickle. Yeah,

1554
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:37,360
Speaker 2: looks very tantalizing.

1555
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 3: It's true.

1556
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 2: The four plaintiffs alleged the sandwich does not contain any

1557
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,559
Speaker 2: rib meat, but instead, this is terrible. If you're eating

1558
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 2: a mcgrib's sandwich right now, just stop turn off the radio. Instead,

1559
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:53,559
Speaker 2: they say, the mcgrib sandwich is made up of ground

1560
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 2: up portions of pork shoulder, pork heart, and scalded stomach.

1561
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:05,880
Speaker 3: It's anything.

1562
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 2: I don't care how much barbecue sauce you put on.

1563
01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 2: That Is it true? I want to know how they

1564
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 2: found out. Is there like somebody inside McDonald's. It's like, yo,

1565
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 2: this is not really a rib sandwich.

1566
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 3: Probably the taste.

1567
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 2: McDonald's describes the McRib as a seasoned, boneless pork dipped

1568
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 2: in a tangy barbecue sauce, topped with slivered onions and

1569
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:33,120
Speaker 2: tangy pickles, all served on a toasted homestyle bun m.

1570
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 2: The lawsuit claims that McDonald's knows it is misleading consumers

1571
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 2: because it includes rib Why don't it it's called the

1572
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: mcbelly sandwich.

1573
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:49,960
Speaker 3: The mcart, the mcart, the mcliver any, Oh god.

1574
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I like the mcspleen combo meal.

1575
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 3: Police, why would you lie? I mean, McDonald's is a

1576
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,240
Speaker 3: huge company. Why would you not? I mean, I know

1577

Speaker 3: it's a fast food restaurant. Come on, but you know.

Speaker 3: Yeah, the nuggets.

1580
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,880

Speaker 3: Gosh, can't get past it. It's like this is how

1585
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 3: you know the sausage is made, and then there you go.

1586
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 2: It's literally like sausage.

1587
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,880

Speaker 3: I'm shocked people go to McDonald's for ribs.

01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,679
Speaker 2: That's that's a fair point esctually.

01:36:06,360 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 9: me flat, It went on the floor everywhere, right, okay.

1677
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 9: So I didn't want to get in trouble with my

1678
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 9: boss and the manager because it was during it was

1679
01:36:14,880 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 9: during rushed lunch hour and when this happened, and so

1680
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 9: I immediately went and grabbed a mop to mop it

1681
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 9: all up.

1682
01:36:20,840 --> 01:36:21,000
Speaker 5: Right.

1683
01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:23,880
Speaker 9: She comes around the corner from the front counter.

1684
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 10: She says, Mark, what are you doing? What are you doing?

1685
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 9: I said, I'm sorry, I said, I know, there's tensis

1686
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 9: to suspend it. I said, i'm I said, I've flipped it.

1687
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 9: It came back and flat on the floor. I said,

1688
01:36:34,960 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 9: I'm but I'm I said, I got under control. I'm

1689
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 9: still making the burgers. I got it, you know, I'm

1690
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 9: cleaning it up. She says, no, grab a spatula. I said,

1691
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:45,719
Speaker 9: I said, put that mop down, grab us speck because

1692
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:47,560
Speaker 9: we had these long spatualists. So we just flip like

1693
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 9: three or four burders at a time. She said, try

1694
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 9: not to touch the floor, but scrape up as much

1695
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 9: of that as you can with the spatuls if by

1696
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 9: skimming it on the top as much as possible out

1697
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:59,639
Speaker 9: touching the floor, and put it back in the container.

1698
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:03,000
Speaker 9: And then we'll just put the saran wrap it so

1699
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 9: we don't we don't waste that. And I was like, okay,

1700
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 9: so this is this is really happening, and that's what

1701
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 9: I had to do. So this is the stuff that

1702
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:15,320
Speaker 9: goes on at a McDonald's. Since it is nineteen eighty five,

1703
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 9: I had to it's so disgusting. Ever since then, no

1704
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:22,519
Speaker 9: matter where I get a burger from or whatever, I

1705
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 9: always order it plain and I'll just.

1706
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:28,120
Speaker 2: Put the com on myself. Just do it yourself. Do

1707
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 2: it yourself. Mark, you officially gross to me out today.

1713
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 2: telephone number, Vicky Palladino, our our favorite New York City

1714
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 2: council person is on the Patriot mobile news maker line. Vicky,

1715
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:51,680
Speaker 2: Happy New Year to you.

1716
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 7: Happy Todd, How are you?

1717
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,639
Speaker 2: You know, I'm doing good. I don't want to overly

1718
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 2: alarm you, but I think you guys have a commune

1719
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 2: in a city hall.

1720
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 20: Yeah, thanks all over alarm MUCKs now. We've been founding

1721
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 20: the alarm bells now, uh for probably eleven months.

1722
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,240
Speaker 2: You know what's fascinating, Vicky. I saw the guy. I

1723
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 2: mean I saw the inauguration address. You we thought that

1724
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 2: he would keep the mask on. He just ripped that

1725
01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:21,639
Speaker 2: mask right off your bet.

1726
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 20: Oh yeah, well, you know, to be fair, Todds, that

1727
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 20: mask has been coming off all during his campaign. Occasionally

1728
01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:33,759
Speaker 20: he would, you know, uh, lighten up what he was saying.

1729
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 20: But the message, no matter what, was still the same.

1730
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,880
Speaker 20: And and that was one of you know, it was

1731
01:38:42,120 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 20: it was socialists. But there I step out of the

1732
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 20: box as I always do, and stay were to hit

1733
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 20: the communists, you know.

1734
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:49,920
Speaker 13: Uh.

1735
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 20: He surrounded himself with abas he surrounded himself with hesbe

1736
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 20: law leaders. He's made no bones about where his stance was.

1737
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 20: We also talked about, you know, his father's teaching, you know,

1738
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 20: right out of the book of all marks at Columbia University.

1739
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 20: The person that he put in charge as his head

1740
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:23,320
Speaker 20: council in the city council was a lawyer. For the

1741
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 20: guy he appointed is uh Rave seen something I forgot?

1742
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 20: I'm sorry, and this is that good? And when we

1743
01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:37,360
Speaker 20: heard him walk, so many people were turning it on,

1744
01:39:37,560 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 20: turning it off. I listened to it and I just

1745
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 20: could not believe what was coming out of this guy's mouth.

1746
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 20: And he made it so as it didn't make it clear.

1747
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 20: In eleven months he founded that drum home that we

1748
01:39:55,439 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 20: are going to find the warmth of collectivism and we

1749
01:40:01,320 --> 01:40:05,400
Speaker 20: want to do away with rugged individualism. I mean that

1750
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 20: is called.

1751
01:40:06,240 --> 01:40:07,000
Speaker 13: Mock, is it not.

1752
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 2: I mean, it's right out of the playbook. And again

1753
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:15,560
Speaker 2: when he said that, my jaw dropped, because again we

1754
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 2: knew this is where things were going to go. But

1755
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 2: right out of the gate, Vicky, he's out there saying

1756
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:23,679
Speaker 2: this is a new day. I mean, when you look

1757
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:28,800
Speaker 2: at the person in charge of what the tenants, the

1758
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:31,840
Speaker 2: director of tenants there in New York City talking about

1759
01:40:31,920 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 2: taking away homes from white people. This is insanity.

1760
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 20: Yes, well, he mentioned that during his campaign. He says,

1761
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 20: he directs. It was the headline the post that he

1762
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 20: was coming after the white neighborhoods. And again people are

1763
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:53,000
Speaker 20: going to be surprised. I'm talking about a New York

1764
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,360
Speaker 20: but not doing your diligence in your homework. Taking this

1765
01:40:57,520 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 20: kid a state value not you didn't have to go deep,

1766
01:41:01,760 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 20: just how to scratch the surface a little bit and

1767
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 20: find out who he is. Question is, why doesn't somebody

1768
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 20: ask go ram Mondani? Is hes planning to be, like,

1769
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:16,760
Speaker 20: you know, the king of his own little city state here?

1770
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 20: Is he planned to be the supreme ruler and run

1771
01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 20: this step from the United States of America? Does he

1772
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 20: wanted to succeed from the succeeds from the United States?

1773
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:32,280
Speaker 20: Because he's talking as this everything he's talking about is

1774
01:41:32,880 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 20: completely goes to get American values and our constitution and

1775
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 20: what we've built this country on rugged individualism. Wake up,

1776
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:46,120
Speaker 20: Goran built this country. Okay. It just goes to show

1777
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 20: you very very clearly where he lies in his way

1778
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:57,640
Speaker 20: of thinking and what he filled his cabinet with and

1779
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 20: who's going to be ruling the roofs here? Very scary stuff.

1780
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:06,719
Speaker 2: Vicky Palladino is a New York City council woman. Vicky,

1781
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 2: another thing that happened over the weekend, and I wanted

1782
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:10,920
Speaker 2: to get you to weigh in on this. I just

1783
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 2: I am so repulsed by the decision of the governor

1784
01:42:13,920 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 2: to celebrate Muslim American Heritage Month, and she's ordered all

1785
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 2: of these landmarks, including Freedom Tower, to be illuminated in

1786
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 2: what many have described as hamas green. I find I

1787
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 2: don't find that to be coincidental at all. I think

1788
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:32,719
Speaker 2: this was done intentionally. Your reactions as a leader.

1789
01:42:33,960 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 20: I was furious, Bee, I'm serious. You know, Kathy Hochel

1790
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 20: is a very bad governor. Now I have to say

1791
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 20: she's an evil governor. She's evil.

1792
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 19: Who could do this?

1793
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 20: Who in their right mind? This is such a snack

1794
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:56,479
Speaker 20: in the space. Who are firefighters the three thousand lives

1795
01:42:56,560 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 20: devil lost that day, and it's lives to fly fighters

1796
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:04,639
Speaker 20: that are continuing to die, for police officers, anybody who's

1797
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:08,360
Speaker 20: worked the pile, they're still dying from cancer related illnesses.

1798
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 20: This this attack on nine to eleven. I want to

1799
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:14,360
Speaker 20: know where she was on nine to eleven.

1800
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:15,640
Speaker 15: What was she?

1801
01:43:16,280 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 20: This is blatant knacking your face to every one of

1802
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 20: us who lived here. And I remember that day not

1803
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,880
Speaker 20: to make light as clear as a bell. It was

1804
01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 20: crystal clear that day, to tell you exactly where I

1805
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:37,000
Speaker 20: was standing, to tell you exactly who I was talking to.

1806
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:44,080
Speaker 20: My brother died of cancer related illnesses because you lived

1807
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 20: down there and hanover place. And I just cannot believe.

1808
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,680
Speaker 20: I know she took a knee, taking the knee repeatedly

1809
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 20: in the last six months to this man, young man,

1810
01:43:56,439 --> 01:44:02,519
Speaker 20: an experienced man. But to do this, you know, she's

1811
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 20: better better, she had better lose her reelection, which is

1812
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 20: coming up in November. We're running a Republican by the

1813
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 20: name of Bruce Blakeman against her. We don't know yet

1814
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 20: who the other candidates are going to be, but every

1815
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:27,479
Speaker 20: state Assembly seat and set its seat is up for

1816
01:44:27,640 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 20: grabs here in New York.

1817
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 2: Well, I will see, I will say this, Vicky. You know,

1818
01:44:33,200 --> 01:44:36,240
Speaker 2: going back to the I remember when they were beginning

1819
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:40,479
Speaker 2: the rebuilding process. Remember that there was an effort made

1820
01:44:40,560 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 2: to put a mosque at ground Zeroad. Do you remember that?

1821
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 20: Oh my, oh yes, I do, And that was literally

1822
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:53,280
Speaker 20: up the block by there, just about a block or

1823
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 20: half a block from the world, racing from the towers,

1824
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:03,879
Speaker 20: and the outrage. It was absolutely not to be believed.

1825
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 20: You know, here's another thing, not a blanket coverage or

1826
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 20: Muslims for the I of trouble one for doing that.

1827
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:12,760
Speaker 7: Uh.

1828
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 20: What has the Muslim community in New York City done

1829
01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 20: to build New York City? Who built those World Trade centers,

1830
01:45:25,360 --> 01:45:30,640
Speaker 20: the towers, who built the Empire State buildings? What have

1831
01:45:30,920 --> 01:45:35,320
Speaker 20: they contributed to the fabric of New York City?

1832
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 12: What are they?

1833
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 8: What are they?

1834
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:42,560
Speaker 20: What have they contributed? That we should light up buildings

1835
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 20: greed in honor of Muslims months? What about Christianity? What

1836
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:55,960
Speaker 20: about a month put aside for the Catholic? Do you

1837
01:45:56,120 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 20: see what's happening here? It started with Obama, when Obama

1838
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:06,840
Speaker 20: separated this country by color, economics, and all sorts of things.

1839
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:12,439
Speaker 20: And then we had other people, of course, successfully try

1840
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:15,920
Speaker 20: to separate it. Now we got min Dot who is

1841
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 20: preaching the comfort and the warmth of Collectivismess, you've gotta

1842
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:26,720
Speaker 20: be kidding me, Okay, Yet collectivism for food, so ran

1843
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 20: for food for you and those who look like you

1844
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 20: and worship like you. You know, New York City was

1845
01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 20: a melting pot for so many and we never judged

1846
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,800
Speaker 20: the person by color. We never judge the person by

1847
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:47,799
Speaker 20: religion or their economic status.

1848
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 2: Here.

1849
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:52,439
Speaker 20: I've lived here all my life. God, I'm seventy one

1850
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 20: years old, and I have to tell you this was

1851
01:46:56,720 --> 01:47:00,759
Speaker 20: a place where people came to aspire to be great things,

1852
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,639
Speaker 20: whether it be on the Broadway stage or a lawyer

1853
01:47:05,240 --> 01:47:09,320
Speaker 20: or anything that falls in between the newspaper business. Anything

1854
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 20: you came here to be, somebody knock tear it down.

1855
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 20: And this is what this guy is doing and the

1856
01:47:16,920 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 20: people with his mental capacity is trying to do to

1857
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:26,639
Speaker 20: New York City. The caveat is this, how much are

1858
01:47:27,320 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 20: we in the city council going to allow him to

1859
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:36,719
Speaker 20: get away with the State does dictate a great deal

1860
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:40,600
Speaker 20: to what happens here in New York. But we are

1861
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:44,160
Speaker 20: the governing body as a city council. We make the law.

1862
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 20: So when it comes to police in fire and first

1863
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:51,920
Speaker 20: responders and what gets built and where it gets built

1864
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:55,519
Speaker 20: and who gets to build it, it all comes from

1865
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,240
Speaker 20: us here as the city lover.

1866
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, we're gonna have to We're gonna have to

1867
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 2: ramp it there and I'm super late for a break,

1868
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:06,840
Speaker 2: but I want to get you back because we're gonna

1869
01:48:06,840 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 2: pay very close attention.

1870
01:48:08,040 --> 01:48:08,320
Speaker 7: This is.

1871
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a hard lesson for I think New

1872
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:13,960
Speaker 2: Yorkers to learn. But and I'll give you thirty seconds

1873
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,639
Speaker 2: here to respond to this, But I'm afraid they're gonna

1874
01:48:16,680 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 2: have to learn that lesson. And I think there's gonna

1875
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 2: have to be pain and there's gonna have to be

1876
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,880
Speaker 2: some suffering for these radical Democrats to get it through

1877
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:27,559
Speaker 2: their thick skulls that socialism will not work in America,

1878
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 2: that is for sure.

1879
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:32,400
Speaker 20: And we're gonna take a lot you. Look, I've watched

1880
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:37,479
Speaker 20: New York bern and anybody who knows the city a

1881
01:48:37,560 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 20: little bit of history here. We've watched the Brobs burn

1882
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 20: if we've built it back up, We've watched the Phoenix

1883
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:47,720
Speaker 20: rise again. And Uh, to just end this with a

1884
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 20: little bit of optimism, we've got to battle. We're ready

1885
01:48:51,640 --> 01:48:54,760
Speaker 20: to fight it. And like I said, we've seen it

1886
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 20: burned before, and we hope that this guy will not

1887
01:48:59,640 --> 01:49:02,599
Speaker 20: do measurable damage that we cannot come back.

1888
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 2: The Great, Yeah, the Great Vicki Palladino, Everybody on our

Speaker 2: the New York City Council. Real quick, I want to

1893
01:49:19,520 --> 01:49:23,240
Speaker 2: share some breaking news with you, breaking news now on

1894
01:49:23,400 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 2: the Todd starn Show. So the Department of Homeland Security

1895
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:30,879
Speaker 2: sharing this information and they brought they literally shared the receipts.

1896
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:36,639
Speaker 2: Hilton Hotels has launched a coordinating campaign to refuse service

1897
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:42,000
Speaker 2: to Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officers attempted to

1898
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:47,799
Speaker 2: book rooms using official government emails and rates. Hilton actually

1899
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:51,560
Speaker 2: sent emails to the officer saying that they would not

1900
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 2: be able to stay at any Hilton properties. We have

1901
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:58,599
Speaker 2: the story and we've got the photos of the receipts

1902
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:00,800
Speaker 2: on Todd Sterns dot com. Encourage you to go and

1903
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 2: check that out. Hold insecurity saying this, this is unacceptable.

1904
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:09,280
Speaker 2: Why is Hilton Hotel signing with murderers and rapists to

1905
01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:14,679
Speaker 2: deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission

1906
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 2: to enforce our nation's immigration laws. It is a great question.

1907
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 2: What say you, Hilton Hotels? Go to Todd sterns dot com.

1908
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 2: Read our story, you'll be able to comment about it there.

1909
01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:35,519
Speaker 2: We'll be right back everybody. All right, Just got a

1910
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 2: note from one of our Saint Louis listeners at Real

1911
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 2: Talk Radio, great radio stations there that carry this program.

1912
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 2: And to one of the listeners was like, oh, it's

1913
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 2: not true. It's not true. Stens just made this up.

1914
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 2: Sterens doesn't make things up, ladies and gentlemen. This is

1915
01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 2: a quote from New York City Mayor Mandami's tendant to

1916
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:04,080
Speaker 2: her name is Cia Weaver. Now she made these comments

1917
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:06,360
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. I want you to listen to what

1918
01:51:06,439 --> 01:51:10,960
Speaker 2: she's saying about property ownership in New York City.

1919
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 21: Cut One place I think the reality is is that

1920
01:51:14,640 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 21: for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good

1921
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,840
Speaker 21: and not a collective good. And we are going to

1922
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:27,439
Speaker 21: and transitioning to treating it as a collective good and

1923
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:31,240
Speaker 21: towards a model of shared equity will require that we

1924
01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:35,960
Speaker 21: think about it differently, and it will mean that families,

1925
01:51:36,160 --> 01:51:39,120
Speaker 21: especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners

1926
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:44,000
Speaker 21: as well, are going to have a different relationship to

1927
01:51:44,040 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 21: property than the one that we currently have.

1928
01:51:47,280 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 2: So again, I didn't make that up. These are the

1929
01:51:50,640 --> 01:51:54,000
Speaker 2: words coming from the woman who is now the tenant director,

1930
01:51:54,400 --> 01:51:58,160
Speaker 2: a member of the New York City Mayor's official cabinet.

1931
01:51:58,800 --> 01:52:03,080
Speaker 2: And it seems to me, if you are a white person,

1932
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 2: especially and own you own property in New York City,

1933
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 2: you may want to consider selling that property because it

1934
01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 2: certainly sounds as if they're treating home ownership as if

1935
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 2: it is a symptom of white supremacy and they're coming

1936
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 2: after you. So we're really doing all of you. And

1937
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:22,360
Speaker 2: by the way, this is going to impact but if

1938
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:23,920
Speaker 2: you want to know who it's going to impact, it's

1939
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 2: going to impact all you white libtards out there. I mean,

1940
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 2: that's ultimately who's going to be impacted by all of this.

1941
01:52:31,520 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 2: But it's a mighty sad day that, you know, you

1942
01:52:33,520 --> 01:52:37,360
Speaker 2: work all your life, you're buying and by the way,

1943
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:39,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not. There's not a lot of bang

1944
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:41,680
Speaker 2: for the buck when it comes to buying real estate

1945
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:45,000
Speaker 2: in New York City. But you've got your one bedroom

1946
01:52:45,080 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 2: apartment there and you're going to have to share it

1947
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:51,520
Speaker 2: with some guy named I don't know, Tomas from El Salvador.

1948
01:52:52,200 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 2: Because you can't own property in New York City anymore.

1949
01:52:57,280 --> 01:52:59,679
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. But again,

1950
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, we come armed with the truth and

1951
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,960
Speaker 2: the facts here on this radio program. Always remember that.

1952
01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 2: All right, we've got to get out of here. We'll

1953
01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:12,599
Speaker 2: see you tonight five o'clock Eastern on the Ton Sterns

1954
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:15,640
Speaker 2: TV Show Newsmax two. And we'll see you back here

1955
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 2: on the radio tomorrow at noon o'clock. We good to America.
