1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: From the mighty nine to ninety Broadcast Centers.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: You're waking up in Stars Country with Todd Starns.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 3: And Happy Friday, everybody. This is Todd Searns. You are

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: listening to the mighty nine to ninety and there's still

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 3: a lot of snow out there on the ground.

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 4: Does it is it just me?

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 3: Or does it feel like we have had like two

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: weeks stuffed into this one week? This has been absolutely

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: insane across the mid South. By the way, broadcasting today

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 3: from our beautiful palatial Principal Toyota, Memphis Studios. And if

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: you are looking for a great car and a great

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: deal on a car, you've got to go check out

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: our friend Todd Lockner over at Principal Toyota.

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 4: So anyway, yeah, it is.

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 3: It is getting a little bit better out there today.

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: Right now on at least stretches of Poplar there's like

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: one and a half sections of roadway. So we're certainly

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 3: not going to quibble about that. Curious to know how

19
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 3: road conditions are out there. I know a lot of

20
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: people have been asking on our socials about that. So

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: you folks, all you kwhim travel experts, please share that

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 3: intel with us. On our socials this morning. DeSoto County,

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: I my heart goes out to you guys. I'm just

24
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: going to say this. Your county was not prepared, and

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: that I mean period. That's it. It really doesn't matter.

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where you are in DeSoto County, the

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: entire county, whether you're in a municipality or whether you're

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: in the county proper. Everybody let you down that you elected.

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: That's pretty much the gist of that, and hopefully, I

30
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: think really the only solution is warmer weather, which is

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: not going to be coming for a few more days,

32
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 3: so just hang in there. DeSoto County now urging emergency

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: travel only because now they're dealing with staffing shortages and

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: they're also having issues with supplies as well, ice melt

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: and whatever they're putting out on the roadways there. So

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: it's really unfortunate what happened in DeSoto County. You folks

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: can remedy that at the ballot box. There were also

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: decisions made in South Haven, of all places, not to

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: purchase snowplows and other equipment that could have mitigated what is,

40
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: quite frankly a disaster. And you know, my heart goes

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: out to all of the business owners who had to

42
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: shut down. You've got employees that were not able to

43
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: go to work. I mean employees that are not going

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: to get paid for the week, especially those restaurants. And

45
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: I want you to make a mental note of something

46
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: if you don't mind when when the thaw happens, the

47
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: first places that you ought to check out are those

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: locally owned restaurants. Give those folks a helping hand, because

49
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: this is going to be a tough slog for everybody.

50
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: So anyway, we'll get into that. Let us know if

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: you're into Sodo County how things are out there. I

52
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: know there is just a ton of frustration even in

53
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 3: the in the Germantown area. And I still stand by

54
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: what I said yesterday, folks audit. These municipalities ought to

55
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: reach out to Bartlett and see how they did it.

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 3: Because Bartlett did a great job of getting those roadways

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: and those major intersections cleared. We are still it's just

58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 3: it's it's really sort of laughable in Germantown, what we're

59
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: dealing with over there. It took me forty minutes. A

60
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: normally ten minute commute took me forty minutes on average.

61
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: Takes forty minutes all this week because of the rush

62
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: hour one lane traffic fare. So anyway, our telephone number

63
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six,

64
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: that's nine oh one two six zero five nine two

65
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: six coming up. And if you think we've got it bad,

66
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: and we've got it pretty bad around here. If you

67
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: think we've got it bad, what's happening in Nashville is

68
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: off the charts bonkers. And we when you look at

69
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: what's happening in Nashville right now, this is the result

70
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: of electing woke leftist morons for office and also hiring

71
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: woke leftist morons to run very important things, like say

72
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: the electric company. Over one hundred thousand customers are still

73
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: without power in Nashville. And one of the reasons why

74
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: we're going to talk to Steve Gill and Pamela Furr

75
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: in a little while. They're going to give us the

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: lowdown on what's happening. Steve gil told me the outlying

77
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: areas that are actually controlled by Republican governments, everything's getting

78
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: back to normal. But in Nashville, in dark blue Nashville,

79
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: which is just like Memphis, it is bad. It's really bad,

80
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: and the people are enraged. Turns out that one of

81
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: the reasons they had so many trees falling on the

82
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: power lines is that the woke leftists in charge of

83
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: the power company he didn't want to cut down any

84
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: trees then it would affect the tree canopy in Nashville. Well,

85
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: how did that work out for him? So we're gonna

86
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: check in with Steve gil Pamela for it is a mess,

87
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: a mess in the music city this morning. All right,

88
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: let's go to the phone lines here nine one one

89
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. Cindy is calling

90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: us from South Haven. Cindy, good morning to you. What's

91
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: it like over in South Haven?

92
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 5: Good morning Toime. I'm on State Line Road. I'm actually

93
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 5: at State Line in sixty five right now, and it's good.

94
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: State Line Road yesterday was surprisingly clear, much clearer than Goodman.

95
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 6: Road the day before.

96
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: And I'm most surprised with the city of Germantown. That's

97
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: where my commute is, and I was just shocked that

98
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 5: Wolf River Boulevard had had no treatment at all. That's

99
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 5: the worst part of my commute is getting is Germantown

100
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: Road in Wolf River Boulevard, and that area seems to

101
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: have not been treated at all.

102
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Cindy, I thought, you know, because I knew how popular

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: was going to be, and people loved to ride your bumper,

104
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: especially when there's completely snow covered roads. So I thought,

105
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: you know what, I'll try Wolf River. I either a

106
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: popular or Wolf River. I got to Wolf River in

107
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: South Germantown, that big intersection, and I thought, sweet Mercy,

108
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: it was insane, so I had to. I just did

109
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: a big U turn right there and went the other direction.

110
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: But you're right, and I've heard from a lot of

111
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: people because that is the medical district, and you're and

112
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: you're telling me, tell us describe the road conditions that

113
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 3: you saw there this week. It's just you.

114
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 5: Know, sacked up, solid sheet of ice, you know, snow

115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 5: covered with ice. There's some ruts where some trucks have

116
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 5: gone through, so if you don't have a truck, it's

117
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 5: a little bit difficult navigating over back. Now this morning,

118
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: I'm actually in my car. This is the first day

119
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 5: I have not been in a truck. But I feel

120
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: like used to in the past that would put like

121
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 5: gravel at the intersections, and I haven't seen any of that.

122
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's something they don't do anymore,

123
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: but I do see gravel on State Line Road. State

124
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: Line Road is very heavily traveled with truck traffic between

125
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 5: fifty five and and two lane road, and I think

126
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 5: that's what's cleared it. But I will tell you I

127
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: picked up a friend on star Landing Road in Lake

128
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 5: Comrade and from sixty one west on star Landing Road Wednesday.

129
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: That's the clearest road I have seen. And it's a

130
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 5: very rural area, but somebody flowed that street and it

131
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: was beautiful.

132
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: Is that right?

133
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 5: Yes, I've been on Highway sixty one. I took sixty

134
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 5: one Wednesday. It was a little treacherous but passable. Took

135
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: Tomplar Avenue, which I usually avoid because I figured it

136
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: would be the most traveled. I've been on Walnut Grove

137
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 5: yesterday and it was pretty well, you know, clear, just

138
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 5: you know, one lane of traffic, everybody mostly being courteous,

139
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 5: you know, just being patient, and everybody staying in that

140
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 5: one one lane. And so this morning and it looks

141
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 5: much better on fifty five. Of course, it's some of

142
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: it melted and blew off, and the dry the dry

143
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 5: road is clear this morning. But I'm gonna be curious

144
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 5: to see what it looks like when I get to

145
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 5: Wolf River in Germantown this morning, because I have a

146
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: feeling it's gonna look the same as it has all weeks.

147
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: It's uh yeah, I would not be surprised. And let

148
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: me know, Cindy, I haven't even turned down that way.

149
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: I've just been, you know, trying to pray I don't

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: get stuck in the mediums. The mediums are still, of course,

151
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: you know, giant snow hills. But also we've got to

152
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: give a shout out, though, Cindy, to everybody into Soota

153
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: County who's been out literally just citizens, volunteers have been

154
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: grabbing pizzas food.

155
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 4: They were bringing them to all.

156
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: Of the stranded trunk drivers and motorists on the interstates there,

157
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: and that really says a lot again about the heart

158
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: and the character of the good people here in the

159
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: Mid South.

160
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 5: Yes, it is heartwarming to see people coming together, neighbors

161
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 5: helping and the people that, as you said, I just

162
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 5: want to get out and do what they can to help.

163
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 3: Somebody well said, all right, Cindy, you be safe out there,

164
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: and good luck traversing Wolf River.

165
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: Thank you for that.

166
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 3: And by the way, she's not the only person that's

167
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: been reaching out about that Wolf River district. By the way,

168
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: this is an insane story. Channel three talking to Ashley Lord.

169
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 3: Her daughter, Lydia, is a student at Rhodes. She had

170
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 3: been stuck on Highway seventy two in Mississippi since Wednesday night.

171
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: Her mom said she hit Highway seventy two on the

172
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: twenty eighth and pretty much has been dead stopped on

173
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: the highway since about five o'clock last night. Now, she says,

174
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: the problem is, and you know, she's been in touch

175
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: with her daughter, and her daughter got stuck on the median,

176
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: which is where a lot of people are getting stuck.

177
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: Yesterday on Poplar I'm telling you that's where people were

178
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: getting stuck. And it's getting dangerous because a lot of

179
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 3: those big pickup trucks they're using those snowy mediums to

180
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: pass pass all the cars and they're not seeing. I

181
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 3: almost saw a major accident last night because the truck

182
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: driver just wasn't paying attention. Anyway, the mom says, the

183
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: problem here is there is no communication coming from any

184
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: Mississippi leaders. She said, and get this, she contacted the church,

185
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 3: a church that was near where her daughter was stranded.

186
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: And the church. The youth pastor and his wife were

187
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 3: able to get out there. They walked her to their

188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: home and fed her breakfast and gave her coffee, and

189
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: she was able to sit by the fireplace. It's unbelievable.

190
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: That's the kind of spirit and hospitality. But again, Mississippi,

191
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: you guys are gonna have to come to Jesus meeting

192
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 3: with your folks.

193
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: Nine oh one.

194
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: Two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.

195
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

196
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 4: Coming up.

197
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: Two Memphis City Council members are claiming that all of

198
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 3: the snow that fell is is not real. It's it's

199
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: fake and this is it is No, this is not

200
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: Babylon Bee, this is real life. This is Memphis. And

201
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: we're gonna tell you who those any council members are,

202
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 3: and we're gonna tell you what they think that snow is. Also,

203
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 3: I have a question for all of you moms and

204
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 3: dads out there, and this is this is a crazy story,

205
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: but I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on this.

206
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: So the Today Show is doing a big thing saying

207
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: that little boys, like boys especially, need to stop wearing

208
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: shorts and T shirts when the weather is cold. So

209
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: my question is do you let your kids wear the shorts,

210
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: wear the T shirts when it's like freezing outside, or

211
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: do you let them pretty much wear whatever you want

212
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 3: to they want to wear. Nine oh one two six

213
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: zero five nne two six are number. That's nine oh

214
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. Let's check

215
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: in with Commander and Chuck standing by with a look

216
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: at your traffic and welcome back. Good morning. You are

217
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: in Sterne Country this morning. I'm Todd Sterns twenty seven

218
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: degrees outside. Laura Hockeby is going to be along in

219
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: just a little while with your weather forecast. Our telephone number,

220
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: by the way, nine one two six zero five nine

221
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: two six. The big story from the Memphis Flyer. Two

222
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: Memphis City Council members are claiming that the snow outside

223
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: is actually man made. Winter storm Fern Ladies and Gentlement,

224
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: it's man made. That would be Pearl Walker and Yolanda

225
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: Cooper Sutton. They are both claiming now that the snow

226
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: was artificial, posting videos and stories on Facebook this week,

227
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: and they're not the only ones. So Yolanda Cooper Sutton

228
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: posted a video and she says her husband was trying

229
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: to melt a chunk of snow with a lighter, and

230
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 3: she said it wasn't melting and it stunk when you

231
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: set it on fire. She said, OMG, what is happening?

232
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: She said, we decided to see what was really falling

233
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: when it hit the ground. It's not melting. And then

234
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: she puts it back in slow motion showing the flame

235
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: licking the snow but no water drips, and she set

236
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 3: it to a musical musical selection called the Tragedy of Ignorance.

237
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: How ironic. So she's not the only one. Walker commented

238
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 3: on the post and said this was man made. This

239
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 3: was man made snow. She also posted a link to

240
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: another Facebook video from Angela Thacker. In that one, Oh

241
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: Sunshine Thacker Angela Sunshine Thacker. Thatcker said that when she

242
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: first picked up the snow, it was different and that

243
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 3: she would not use it to make snow cream. Now,

244
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: I just want to say something here, I wouldn't recommend

245
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: making snow cream anywhere in the Mid South, to be

246
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: perfectly blunt about it. So now people all across the

247
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 3: Mid South are alleging this is some sort of I

248
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,359
Speaker 3: don't know what is it. Elon Musk is Elon responsible

249
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: for all the man made snow out there. Another person

250
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: wondered why the snow was not dripping and why it

251
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: was turning black sunshine. Thacker says she really doesn't know

252
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: why she's not making any kinds of accusations. But that

253
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 3: brings in Hunter Dempster, who is right now at war

254
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 3: with the Republican Party in Shelby County, and I'll tell

255
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: you about that in a moment. Hunter Dempster is actually

256
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: attacking the two city council members and says it's disheartening

257
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: to see several city Memphis City council members literally pushing

258
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories about man made snow. He said, we are

259
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: screwed as a species. And so now now walk Now

260
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: now all the Libs are fighting each other, which is

261
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: really sort of fun. So I don't know, maybe make

262
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 3: yourself a snow cream and to sit back and enjoy

263
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: the chaos. There are these your elected city council members,

264
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, and two of them believe all of

265
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 3: this snow is some sort of a vast what right

266
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: wing conspiracy? Are they blaming Trump yet for sending more

267
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: ice to the mid South. Is that it nine oh

268
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine

269
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Then

270
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: then you've got a situation where Hunter Dempster, who runs

271
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: he runs one of these activist groups. I don't know

272
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: if it's Defecate Memphis.

273
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: Or one of the other ones.

274
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: Anyway, Uh, he was all upset because the Republicans have

275
00:15:54,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 3: invited Joey Sellipek to mc the big Lincoln den. Well,

276
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: it's the medium sized Lincoln dinner they're having over at

277
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 3: Shelby Farms at the Fedec Center. And I don't know

278
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 3: what he was accusing, you know, Solipekov or what he

279
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: was accusing the Republicans up, but it's really insane. These

280
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: leftist groups, they will attack anything and anybody. It's like,

281
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 3: come on, folks, jeez alone. All right, coming up, we're

00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: or every Friday and Monday with those sports weekend sports

313
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: updates coming up a little bit later, we'll check in

314
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: with Aid Impettit has a look at what's happening in

315
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: entertainment across the mid South. By the way, this is

316
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: a funny story out of Virginia where they just elected

317
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 3: all these Democrats and now they're introducing fifty new taxes.

318
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: The Democrats are taxing the wazoo out of the good

319
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 3: people in the Commonwealth of Virginia. And I think it's

320
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: a beautiful thing.

321
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: You get. Look the people voted for this.

322
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: And now even Democrats are having buyers remorse. I want

323
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: you to listen to this. Apparently the Democrats have greenlit

324
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: a two hundred percent increase in electricity prices. Take a

325
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 3: listen to this liberal.

326
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 7: I just got my energy bill for the month Dominion

327
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 7: Energy out of Virginia. My bill has tripled. Like I

328
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 7: usually pay about two hundred bucks, you know, on a

329
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 7: regular three hundred on a high note, six and twenty

330
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 7: one bucks. That's more than my car payment. What the

331
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 7: actual hell is going on?

332
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what's going on. You people got snookeered.

333
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: You voted for Democrats. What did you think the Democrats

334
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: were going to do? How did you think the Democrats

335
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 3: were going to pay for all of this nonsense? And

336
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: by the way, if you think that's bad, wait until

337
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 3: you see what's going to what's about to happen in

338
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: New York City. They have something like a billion dollar

339
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: deficit up there.

340
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: People are going to be.

341
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: Moving south, and we say welcome y'all, but leave your

Speaker 3: Todd Stearns dot com. But we can tell you that

356
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: late last night in Los Angeles, federal authorities arrested ex

357
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: CNN host Don Lemon. This is going to be an

358
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 3: explosive story today. Lemon has been arrested for his role

359
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: and charged in his role in storming an Evangelical Christian

360
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: church in Saint Paul that was city's church. His attorney

361
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 3: telling The New York Times that Lemon was taken into

362
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 3: custody by the federal agents where he was covering the

363
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: Grammy Awards. So we will keep you updated again that

364
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: story over on Todd Stearns dot com. Well, I want

365
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 3: to go right away to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker lines

366
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: and we are honored to have two good friends with us,

367
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: Pamela furr And from Americans for Prosperity Tennessee and Steve Gill,

368
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: the publisher of TriStar Daily dot com. And guys, good

369
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: to have both of you with the US. Pamela, I

370
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 3: want to start with you, tell us about the conditions

371
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: there in there in middle Tennessee.

372
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 4: How are things well?

373
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 8: They are improving, but not improving as fast as they

374
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 8: could be. And I will also say, you're getting temperatures

375
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 8: in the forties today. We are not, and we have

376
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 8: another chance of snow today. So so this is not

377
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 8: good news from the middle Tennessee area.

378
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: Steve, I know that you've been covering this around the clock,

379
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: and there's been so much frustration. I think Klay Travis

380
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: is coming on glued right now over the incompetence of

381
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 3: the electric company down there. Tell us about that. I

382
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 3: know you've been covering a lot of that. That's that

383
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: that angle of the story on TriStar Daily.

384
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll pointed out, you know, we're seeing some improvement

385
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 6: in power being restored in Nashville Davidson County, but very

386
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 6: very slowly over eighty thousand homes. And again you need

387
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 6: to remember, you know, you don't have one person per home,

388
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 6: so you have maybe four or five people living in

389
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 6: a lot of these homes. So we're talking still hundreds

390
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 6: of thousands of people that are being affected. And the

391
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 6: nes Nationale Electric Service keeps saying, oh, yeah, we've restored

392
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 6: powered to seven thousand homes in the last twenty four hours.

393
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 6: Well at that rate, looking at another ten to twelve

394
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 6: days before people see their power restored. So people are

395
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 6: getting frustrated. They're increasingly getting angry, and they're asking questions

396
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 6: about three different I guess levels of incompetence by the

397
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 6: electric service. First, the lack of preparation on the front end.

398
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: They knew the storm predictions, they were not staging properly,

399
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 6: the number of linemen. You have other electric utilities in

400
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 6: the surround carries around Nashville that were staging more alignment,

401
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 6: more preparation than Nashville did, with a lot more service

402
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 6: outlets to have to deal with. And then on Saturday,

403
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 6: when the storm hit it was apparent that this was

404
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 6: bigger and worse than they had anticipated. They still did

405
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 6: not respond properly to get more linemen, more people to

406
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 6: cut down trees and deal with the devastation that was

407
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 6: already being wrought. It took literally several days for them

408
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: to increase the number of linemen utility workers from about

409
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 6: three hundred to where it's now about nine hundred or

410
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 6: one thousand, and there are reports that they were turning

411
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 6: down assistance from other utility.

412
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: Companies that go help Steve Steve holdtight. I want to Pamela,

413
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 3: you're saying you're agreeing with Steve here, are you seeing

414
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: the same thing.

415
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 6: Yeah.

416
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 8: Absolutely, Yeah. There have been lots of reports and lots

417
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 8: of firsthand people that I have heard on different radio

418
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 8: stations and TV stations here in Nashville of linemen saying

419
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 8: they were turned away linemen from other areas saying that

420
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 8: they were wanting to help, and we're told by any

421
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 8: s we don't need you, and so, I mean that's

422
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 8: absolutely egregious. See other thing too, is that when you're

423
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 8: dive into this, they being Nashville Electric Service, came up

424
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 8: short in twenty twenty five for the tree maintenance that

425
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 8: they were scheduled to do, so they didn't do half

426
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 8: of what they were scheduled to do, and come to

427
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 8: find out they weren't even scheduling enough because they wanted

428
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 8: to quote save the trees. And I'm not joking on that.

429
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 8: That has become a bit of a scandal here in

430
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 8: Nashville as well. Steve can attest to that.

431
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 6: Yes, Steve, Yeah, we literally have the tree hugging CEO

432
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 6: and president, you know, Teresa Boyle's alpin of the Neees

433
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 6: bragging just a few months ago that we were going

434
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 6: to protect the canopy, protect the trees rather than cutting

435
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 6: back the limbs that were overhanging power lines, and I

436
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 6: was driving around yesterday. We've got a story up at

437
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 6: pristardaily dot com showing you still have tree limbs over

438
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 6: hanging lines that fillery threat of falling and collating and

439
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 6: creating more power outages. And again they did not cut

440
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 6: down the trees or cut down the limbs that were

441
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 6: threatening power lines because, as Pamela pointed out, they wanted

442
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 6: to protect the trees. Literally, three huggers have e exacerbated

443
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 6: this problem, you.

444
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: Know, Pamela.

445
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a reporting out there that the International Brotherhood

446
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: of Electrical Workers is now claiming that National Electric Service,

447
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 3: which is a power company there, declined offers of help

448
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: from multiple union crews.

449
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: Is that true? Are we? Are you hearing those reports

450
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: as well?

451
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 8: Hearing those reports as well? Eneus is denying that, But

452
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 8: I mean, who at this point here are you going

453
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 8: to believe? Because if if that were not true, they

454
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 8: would have a lot more people helping union or otherwise,

455
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 8: a lot more people would be here helping to try

456
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 8: to get that power of restored. So yeah, that is

457
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 8: that is absolutebsolutely the rumor, if you will, and I

458
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: think just the facts on the ground just proves that

459
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 8: that's got to be true.

460
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 6: Steve, and find seventeen Nest Build Fox Channel New Channel

461
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 6: WKRI and seven or WV seventeen has the receipts. They

462
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 6: have emails confirming this as well. So now we have

463
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 6: ANYS compounding it and some of the union workers they're saying, oh, no,

464
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 6: it's not true. Channel seventeen has the receipt Steve.

465
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 4: Real quick here.

466
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: I'm curious about the outlying areas because you have I

467
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: mean Nashville, Davidson County deep blue like Memphis. But what

468
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: about the suburbs where maybe you have Republicans controlling those

469
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 3: areas those communities are similar conditions or are things different?

470
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: These court conditions have the same or at least in

471
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 6: Franklin Brentwood to a similar level, even worse with the

472
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: blood large number of trees causing problems. But they've been

473
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 6: served by Middle Tennessee Electric, who put out more alignment

474
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 6: per capita than any s did. And and the areas

475
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 6: in the surrounding counties that are still having problems. I know,

476
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 6: Sumner County, parts of Williamson County are those served by

477
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 6: nationale Electric Service. So it's it's not just the incompetence

478
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 6: of the mayor and the ins folks, and by the

479
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 6: way that they are held a separate press conference from

480
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 6: Ans yesterday, trying to distance himself from the incompetence that

481
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 6: he's been a part of. But the Nashville mayor are

482
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 6: far less liberal. Mayor is the one who's now trying

483
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 6: to distance himself from the disaster he helped create. But

484
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 6: in the surrounding counties they're doing much better than where

485
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 6: we're depending on. Innes I'm still out of power where

486
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 6: day six. I talked with Senator Bill Haggerty yesterday. They're

487
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 6: telling him that maybe another five or six days till

488
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 6: his house gets power.

489
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: Wow, that's so, you know, it's bad if the senators

490
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: don't have power.

491
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 6: Right.

492
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: Well, let's just get I mean from you know and Pamela,

493
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: I know you cover a lot of entertainment news and

494
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: the entertainment industry in Middle Tennessee, in Nashville and nash Vegas.

495
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 3: Is what is the impact to all of the musicians

496
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 3: and those concert halls.

497
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 8: Well, I mean the impact is huge because you don't

498
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 8: have people going to these clubs to go hear their music,

499
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 8: so they're not getting I mean, they get paid by

500
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 8: the gig right, and so your entire music community at

501
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 8: this point is shut down. There's no power in some places,

502
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 8: and if there is power there, the musicians themselves are

503
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 8: having a hard time getting to those gigs. So it's

504
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 8: a huge impact not only on that, but the gig economy.

505
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 8: When you're talking about uber, when you're talking about list,

506
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 8: when you're talking about any kind of ten ninety nine

507
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 8: if you will, employment, it's heavily impacted.

508
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 6: At this point.

509
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 8: You got to get the power back on, first of all,

510
00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 8: to save live and then to say you're income absolutely.

511
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: Steve Gehl go ahead.

512
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 6: One of our mutual friends Pam andized friends John Rich

513
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 6: is also without power, So a lot of the entertainers

514
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 6: are suffering like the rest of us. One of the

515
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 6: biggest beneficiaries right now, Todden Pam, is in the hotel

516
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 6: industry because people who are without power are either huddling

517
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 6: in thirty two degree temperatures in their homes or they've

518
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 6: moved into hotels. I'm downtown at the Embassy Suites near Vanderbilt.

519
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 6: It's like snow camp. I mean, there are dozens of kids.

520
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: I've seen more of these golden doodles it's one of

521
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 6: the few hotels that allows animals. So people have moved

522
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 6: into the hotels and you know, are filling the hotels

523
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 6: to capacity. And to their credit, a lot of the

524
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 6: hotels have offered cut rates. But keep in mind, and

525
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 6: again back to our blue Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell, they

526
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 6: raised the hotel motel taxes just a year or so

527
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 6: ago dramatically to build the new Titan Stadium. So it

528
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 6: was intended to punish touring. It's now punishing residents who

529
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 6: are not only suffering from the ineptitude of any s,

530
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 6: but also the higher taxes than Nashville imposed on hotels

531
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 6: to punish tourists that are now punishing residents.

532
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 5: All right, real quick, you both know this.

533
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 8: When you're talking about hotel rooms in the downtown area.

534
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 8: They're expensive anyway, and then you add tax onto that,

535
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 8: some people are paying three hundred dollars a night just

536
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 8: to be able to stay warm and stay alive. That's

537
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 8: I mean, that's outrightous to me.

538
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: All right, guys, we're gonna leave it there.

539
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: Steve gil Pamela fur Steve with TriStar Daily dot Com,

Speaker 3: Impettit standing by with a look at your entertainment report.

551
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 3: All right, the breaking news Don Lemon arrested in Los Angeles.

00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 3: Expected in court this morning, and no doubt we'll be

Speaker 3: keeping you updated throughout the day. Right here on the

554
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: Biday nine ninety we will have full coverage on my

555
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: national show, which you can listen to or watch at

556
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 3: eleven o'clock right here on the mighty nine ninety a

557
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: one oh seven point nine FM. So over on my

558
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 3: NEWSMAC show, we had a wild conversation about my idea

559
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 3: to help all of these far left female activists find

560
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,959
Speaker 3: husbands so they won't be so angry at the world.

561
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen to that conversation.

562
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 4: Mary, you know my.

563
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: Heart here and I just I want to help people,

564
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 3: and I feel bad for these the gogs. I call

565
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: them gals of girth. So I'm thinking about starting a

566
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 3: life coach, a nonprofit life coach program to help these

567
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: gals find husbands learn how to bake a cancer role.

568
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 4: What say you?

569
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: Why would you.

570
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 9: Do that to men? Do you hate them? This is

571
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 9: a horrific idea. Why this is a punishment?

572
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: You should?

573
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 9: First of all, So the left is fascinating because I

574
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 9: have no idea what's happening with these women at all?

575
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 9: Like none, I got nothing on this. I've been trying

576
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 9: to noodle this one out.

577
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: For a while.

578
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 9: But have you noticed on the left the women are

579
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 9: manlier than the men right? So why would you towards

580
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 9: the men on the left? Why would you torture any

581
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 9: of them? None of them want to get married to

582
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 9: each other? And for good reason. The women want to

583
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 9: hang with their people and the men. I don't know

584
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 9: what they're doing, but the women tend to hang around together.

585
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 9: They don't want men that group. I know some of

586
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 9: them are in that group. They're either never married or

587
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 9: how to Ma, that went south really badly? And now

588
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 9: you're right, they hate men. So the only way that

589
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 9: I think you should start this is if you want

590
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 9: to fill just spectacularly.

591
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: Kate, Kate, what say you? I still think this is

592
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: a pretty good idea, Kate, what say you?

593
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: Now?

594
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 10: So I don't mean to pull out the social scientist card,

595
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 10: but I'm gonna pull it out right here because I

596
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 10: spent a lot of time trying to analyze this. You know,

597
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 10: I spent a lot of time living in California. I

598
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 10: also used to have crazy colored hair, the piercings, the tattoos.

599
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 10: I still got the tattoos. They don't go away. They're permanent.

600
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 10: Kids don't get them. But here's what I've found. All

601
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 10: of my crazy lefty liberal friends, all of them made

602
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 10: that switch, a heavy switch to the other side.

603
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: Never went back.

604
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 10: It never goes the other way, right, Like you don't

605
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 10: have someone who's conservative who goes to the blue pink

606
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 10: hair side. But all the women who really made that

607
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 10: switch are all now incredible mud. So, yes, I do

608
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 10: think it's a man thing, but I don't think it's

609
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 10: just sort of like any man. What I did, which

610
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 10: I thought was very sensible, was I started looking at

611
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 10: the men in California and realized that most of them

612
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 10: were kind of useless. They lived in cities, they were useless,

613
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 10: they can really do anything. They would take their cars

614
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 10: to some other guy to fix them. We had this guy,

615
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 10: Gavin Newsom, who was in charge. You guys might have

616
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 10: heard of him. Terrible representation of a man, terrible, just useless,

617
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 10: is all cair and teeth. So what I did was

618
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 10: I got out of there. I moved to the South.

619
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 6: Guess what happened.

620
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 10: Year later, I had already met my now husband.

621
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: Two years after that, well three years after that.

622
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 10: I can't even remember how many years it's been now

623
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 10: because it's all blurred into one pregnant, happy, thriving. So

624
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 10: get these women out of the cities, get them a

625
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 10: nice southern gentleman, get them pregnant, and make them realize

626
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 10: they're not the most important people in the whole universe.

627
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 10: They're bunch of narcissists. And get them back to their

628
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 10: natural hair color.

629
00:34:59,600 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 6: All block.

00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: I like this, and mir here's the deal. And I

632
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 3: think Kate brings up good point. You don't want a

00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 3: the woods. Yes, that's that's the kind of guy you made.

637
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 5: It is.

638
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 9: But now my husband can My husband cannot field dress

639
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 9: anything in the woods. Okay, but he's very handy. He

640
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 9: can do a lot of things around the house. He

641
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 9: can do stuff with the cars. He could do like

642
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 9: a lot of really handy stuff. So that's fantastic. But

643
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 9: I want to know where case theory, what do we

644
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 9: do with the aging hippies that are out there all

645
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 9: the time. You see like that over sixty crowd. And

646
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 9: I when I was living in DC, I played a

647
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 9: game aging hippie or homeless because you can't tell the difference.

648
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 9: So they they were in the state someone told him

649
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 9: in nineteen sixty eight that that hair looked good on them,

650
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 9: and so they're still wearing it, and they're all dressed

651
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 9: in the army fatigues, right, and their hair is all

652
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,360

00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 10: That is a great question.

659
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: Honestly. I think you can do a bunch of legal weed.

660
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 10: And give them to the conservatives and let him do.

661

665
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 10: be a Southern wife. Maybe it just needs to be

666
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 10: a sensible wife, right, like a nice conservative wife who's

667

669
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,359

Speaker 10: probably all right.

671
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 3: That's just a smidge of the interview. We have all

672
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 3: of that on my website, tod sterens dot com if

673
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: you want to go and watch the end our video

674
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 3: case smythe and Mary Walter. And it was a pretty

675
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: insane conversation. All right again, folks, we are following some

676
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: breaking news out of Los Angeles where Don Lemon, the

677
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 3: XCNN host, arrested on federal charges. We have a story

678
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 3: up at Todd Stearns dot com. We understand he was

679
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: taken into custody by federal agents last night while where

680
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: he was covering the Grammy Awards. His attorney says this

681
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: is an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent

682
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 3: attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing the

683
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: Trump administration. They're saying it is. They're going to fight

684
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 3: the charges vigorously. Here's the deal. You cannot storm any

685
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: church in America and disrupt their worship services. You can't

686
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,360
