28
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: to hit those free throws. It's hard, difficult. By the way,

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: who was that last night? Was I watching this last night?

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: I may have been imagining all of this. Uh, there

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: was somebody trying to make a somebody trying to make

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: a free throw? Was this Miami when the entire men's

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: swimming team came like literally storming down like in front

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: you know where the gold post is, and then you know,

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: you've got the student section behind the gold post and

36
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: you have the stairs and the entire men's swim team

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: came down in their speedos. Wow, and the poor guy

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: missed the shot.

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: Ah, all that for nothing.

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: It was a little distracting or a lot distracting. You know,

41
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: whatever floats you're both there. So it was a visual

42
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: So anyway, I've got Tennessee going all the way. By

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: the way, this is my bracket. I've only got Tennessee

Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna get I'm gonna get this done. I'm

66
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: gonna get this done. By the way, we have a

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: man just say. We have a great line up today.

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: Kathy Lee Gifford is going to be with us today.

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a great conversation. Also our good buddy

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: John Lott and Senator Tommy Tubberville. He and I made

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: some headlines. We went a little viral earlier this week

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: over our Newsmax interview, and many of you love that

73
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: interview so much we wanted to have him join us

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: on the radio show for a longer form edition as

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: he warns America about the rise of Islam. But I

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: want to start with what happened to our good friend,

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the great governor of Arkansas. Is that

78
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: the natural state? I think it's the natural state. Now,

79
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: I'm just going to tell you right out of the gate.

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: I'm pretty I'm pretty disturbed by all of this. So

81
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 2: the governor was going to lunch at a fancy little

82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: it's not really a fancy wrestling You had to have

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: the French restaurants what do you call them, the patisseries,

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: if you will. And so anyway, she was going to

85
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 2: one of these places in Little Rock, Arkansas. And it's

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: a weird name. It's the the Croissanteria. It's very strange.

87
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of a spoof off of the Croissolm. And

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: I'll say something about that in just a moment. So

89
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: the governor and a couple of her girlfriend's moms, they

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: all decided, you know what, let's go have just say

91
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: it's a lady's place. I guess I don't want to

92
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: offend any of the I don't want to offend anybody's sensibilities.

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: But they're not serving cheeseburgers and you know, nachos there, right,

94
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: This is this is sort of like an upscale place

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: that ladies would like to go. And I'm not I'm

96
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: not trying to stereotype anybody, ladies and gays. Can we

97
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: say that? Because because there is a gay component here,

98
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: how many people can I possibly trigger in the first

99
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: five minutes of this program today we are about to

100
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: find out. So anyway, she goes there and she's got

101
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: her security team and they're sitting down in their order.

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

103
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what they ordered, but anyway, it was

104
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: it was just an it was a lunch for moms

105
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: just to get away from everything. And so the governor

106
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: had her state police detail, and so they were served

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: their meals and then they paid for the meals, and

108
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: then all hellbro clues. So the owner of the restaurant

109
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: comes over to the security detail and says she's got

110
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: to go. I guess somebody figured out that that was

111
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: Governor Sarah Sanders, and the owner of the restaurant and

112
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: Little Rock, Arkansas said she's got to go, and she's

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: got to go now. So then the staff gets involved

114
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: and they get all huffy, and I'm just going to

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: tell you that a couple of them are actually members

116
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: of the LGBT community, and one of the gay dudes

117
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: went on his social media page and just ripped Governor Sanders.

118
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in just a moment, but the

119
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: owner said that her staff felt threatened and uncomfortable because

120
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:53,239
Speaker 2: of the governor's politics. Now, the gay staffer wrote about

121
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: this on his Facebook page, and it's sort of you

122
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: can read all of this at Todd Sturne dot com.

123
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: By then, we've got the full story, we've got Governor

124
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: hockeyby statement, we've got the restaurant owner's statement, and i'd

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: encourage you to go and read the story at Todd

126
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: Stearns dot com. So one of the gay stanfers is

127
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: just overjoyed because he's he feels emboldened because he got

128
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: the governor kicked out of the restaurant, and here's what

129
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: he wrote. No amount of evil you send our way

130
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: can ever take our smiles away. I'm proud AF to

131
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: work here, I'm proud AF to be kay, and I'm

132
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: proud af to be ur keyans in. I'll teach you

133
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: you had a row. I just threw that in. He

134
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: didn't write that. I was in the moment. So anyway,

135
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: the restaurant releases a lengthy statement saying they were surprised

136
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: and uncertain how best to respond when the governor showed up. Well,

137
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: let me give you a clue. Darling. What you do

138
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: is say, welcome to the croissant joint. Here's a menu.

139
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: What would you like to drink one of those little

140
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: fruity drinks with the old umberella. Sure we could do

141
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: that for you. Welcome. I mean, that's what I would do.

142
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: But that's not what happened. I want to read the

143
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: statement here. This was provided a sebious muse and here's

144
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: what the owner said. As business owners and members of

145
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: this community, we recognize that any course of action carried consequences.

146
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: Allowing her to stay risk being perceived as a lack

147
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: of support for the community that makes up the majority

148
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: of our team, as well as their families and friends

149
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: and lovers. I just threw that in there. Conversely, asking

150
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: her to leave could be viewed as denying service based

151
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: on differing beliefs. Oh, oh, I see, it was a quondring.

152
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 5: Oh.

153
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: She didn't know what to do. It was she was

154
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: at a moral fork in the road. The owner decided, yeah,

155
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: it's better not offending the gays. So we're gonna make

156
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: Howckeby go. And that's what happened. Ultimately, reading back from

157
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: the statement, I'm gonna read the long it was just

158
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: outrageously long. Ultimately, we made the decision to support our

159
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: employees and guests who expressed they were uncomfortable. Now, as

160
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: they were leaving, some guy starts screaming, get out of here,

161
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: and then somebody else like gives her the middle finger.

162
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: This is like a this is a fancy little French joint.

163
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: The governor said, our Kansans are known for their hospitality,

164
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: and while the restaurant certainly does not meet that standard.

165
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: My administration, we'll focus on lifting our Kansans up, not

166
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: tearing others down with discrimination and hate.

167
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 6: Now.

168
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, Sarah Sanders was then working as the

169
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary for our great President Donald J. Trump,

170
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: and she and her family, her entire family. They went

171
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: out to a lovely little restaurant in Lexington, Virginia called

172
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: the Red hen Many, if you may remember this story,

173
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: and before they could even order, the owner of the

174
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: restaurant came over and said, you're not welcome here. You

175
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: will not be served here. And the owner flat out

176
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: told her it was because of her support of the

177
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: Trump administration and working for Donald J. Trump. Now, I'm

178
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: just curious to hear your thoughts here. How would you

179
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: have handled this situation had you been to the restaurant?

180
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: The governor didn't make a scene, you know, she complied,

181
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: They all got up and they left. I just think

182
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: every freedom loving patriot in Little Rock, Arkansas needs to

183
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: spend the weekend manning picket lines outside the Cross Aulteria.

184
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: That's what I think ought to happen. And I'm not one.

185
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: I'm not one to boycott, but I'm getting a little

186
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: bit sick and tired of this nonsense, and I hope

187
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: you are too. Here's the thing I'm concerned about is

188
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: what if what if somebody on that staff knows that

189
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: you are a I don't know conservative. I mean, they

190
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 2: could be spitting in your chicken salad. They could be

191
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, wiping their butts on with the croissants

192
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: and then putting it on the plane. We don't know

193
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: what these people are capable of. I mean, honestly, I

194
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: would say a good health inspection might be in order

195
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: just because and look and hear me on this, because

196
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: of what happened is here. This is why I do

197
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: not eat out as much as I used to. I

198
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 2: normally just make my prepare my meals at home because

199
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: you just never know, and especially for you know, if

200
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: you're a recognized person, you never know if that person

201
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: is going to tamper with your food. This is why,

202
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: for example, when we got the lip balm the other day,

203
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: and I made sure that Dylan tried it first.

204
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: You're so kind for that.

205
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: Forgot to tell you about that, but I wanted to

206
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: make sure that you got a good make sure you're

207
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: as When you said that your lips stingly, I h

208
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: oh h oh, that's not good. That's not a good sign.

209
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: How are you feeling, by the way.

210
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great, all right, good, good, good, all right.

211
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: So so again I'm not one for boycotts, but we've

212
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: got to start sending a message here. And as a

213
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: fair warning, if you're wearing a maga hat or something

214
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 2: that identifies you as a conservative and you go into

215
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: a restaurant, you do risk the staff, the weight staff,

216
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: the cooking crew tampering with your meals. It's hampened far

217
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: too many times. And again I don't want to I

218
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: don't want to overly frighten people, but I'm just saying

219
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: so one final thought here, and my recommendation of the

220
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: governor is next time you're going to a restaurant, you

221
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: might want to go to a restaurant that serves biscuits

222
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: instead of croissant a croissant. And the reason why is

223
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: that Southern hospitality is so much better than the French,

224
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: so much better. So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen,

225
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: what would you have done if you'd have been Governor

226
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: Sarah Sanders nine oh one two six zero five nine

227
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five

228
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: nine two six. Go to the website, read the story,

00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: upset over there. Hello Jerry, Yes, sir, you're on the air. Jerry.

252
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: Let's get to it.

253
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,239
Speaker 7: Oh, this is Jerry from Milwaukee.

254
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Milwaukee, Jerry, I'm so sorry. All right, Jerry, what's

255
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: going on?

256
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 7: Okay? Yeah? One, if I was the restaurant manager, I

257
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 7: would not have kicked her ound specifically, But do they

258
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 7: have the right to do that? Yeah? Because look, person, conservatives,

259
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 7: maybe not yourself specifically, have said that, you know, if

260
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 7: you don't want to sell a wedding cake to a

261
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 7: gay couple or a gay person, you don't have to,

262
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 7: and you should support the right of the baker to

263
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 7: do that. Fine, Okay, if they have the right, then

264
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 7: this restaurant has the right to make that choice about

265
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 7: Sarah Sanders, and Sarah Sanders should stand up to the

266
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 7: people and say, you know what, this restaurant has the

267
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 7: right to make that choice. If if a baker has

268
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 7: a right to not to sell a wedding cake to

269
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 7: a gay couple, this restaurant has a right not to,

270
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 7: you know, to decide. I'm not a patron there, It's

271
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: that simple.

272
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: So so, Jerry, your philosophy is if the You know, again,

273
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: if you're going to force this restaurant to serve conservatives,

274
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: then you're gonna have to force the bakers to make

275
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,479
Speaker 2: the Christian bakers to make the gay wedding cakes.

276
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 7: Well, it's it's about choice. I mean, if someone has

277
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 7: a choice as a business owner to do that, you

278
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 7: should stand by their choice, even if you don't like

279
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 7: who's being discriminated against, even if you support a person who's,

280
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 7: you know, a Republican. People have the right to discriminate

281
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 7: against someone because they're Republicans.

282
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: All right, Jerry, we got your thought. Let's we're gonna

283
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: try to work in as many calls as we can here.

284
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve in North Carolina, Steve.

285
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 8: Bie Todd.

286
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 9: My thought on that was, if I was a patron

287
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 9: in that restaurant when that happened, no matter where I

288
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 9: was at in the process of ordering or eating, I

289
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 9: would immediately stand up, walk up to Miss Sarah and

290
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 9: say I stand with you. And I would say to

291
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 9: the staff, if you don't want her business, you obviously

292
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 9: don't want mine either, and I would walk out with

293
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 9: Miss Sanderson.

294
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I look, I'm not a big fan of the boycotts,

295
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: but all I'm telling you is I'm getting a little

296
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: sick and tired of this. And I will say that

297
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: there is a difference between the bakers not baking a

298
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: cake based upon their religious beliefs and their deeply held

299
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: convictions as opposed to a bunch of gay servers who

300
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: got triggered because Sarah Sanders is a Republican. I think

301
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: there's a big difference between the two.

302
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 9: I think so as well. I noticed that it's one thing. Uh,

303
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 9: It's it's one thing as far as a Christian baker

304
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 9: refusing a to bake a cake for a homosexual couple.

305
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 9: But what if I wanted to go to a Halil

306
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 9: butcher and ask for non.

307
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: Holy on meat, Well it is it's a great question,

308
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: or or quite frankly, a rack of ribs. I don't

00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: Nero and Paul how the Gospel of Grace defeated the

337
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: ruler of Rome. Kathy Lee Gifford, a legendary TV host

338
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: and just an incredible author and an all around great lady.

339
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: And Kanty Lee, I didn't realize this, but you're also

340
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: a Tennesseean Well.

341
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 10: No, that is she was born and raised here. But

342
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 10: I have a home here.

343
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, I love it. Well, we love the here.

344
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: We count you as it will count you as a

345
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee and it's a it's a beautiful state.

346
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 11: And beautiful yeah.

347
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 10: And it's a culture of kindness here that I needed

348
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 10: in my life after forty some years in New York.

349
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 10: And then yeah, it's the culture of chaos now up there.

350
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 10: And I saw it creeping up over the years, and

351
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 10: I went, I don't want to be a part of

352
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 10: this anymore.

353
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 11: It's toxic to my soul, you know.

354
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: You know, I was watching your interview with Tommy larn

355
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: just a few days ago and just talking about the view,

356
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: and again it's how you know, it's one thing to

357
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: be disagreeable, but man, these days people are just downright mean.

358
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 12: Yeah.

359
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 11: I don't like the way it's going. I don't.

360
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 10: I was on the view many many, many times when

361
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 10: Barbara Walter was a friend of mine. She's the reason

362
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 10: I joined Regis. That's another story. But I don't want

363
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 10: to get political, you know that I'm here to sell. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

364
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 10: so let's lose some time for that. But yeah, I mean,

365
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 10: it's just it breaks.

366
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 11: My heart really because I know whoopee, I know Joy,

367
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 11: I have for years and we always got along.

368
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 10: It's fine, and you know, I think we need to

369
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 10: agree to disagree and just treat people the way Jesus

370
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 10: did with kindness. It's kind of simple. It's the golden rule.

371
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 10: Do you want to be screamed at? Do you want

372
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 10: to be you know, mocked and criticized your It's just gosh,

373
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 10: what's wrong with people?

374
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 11: People? It seems to me.

375
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 2: You know, it's a great point. And to put a

376
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: bow on this. You know what happened with Sarah Sanders

377
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: going out for a nice afternoon lunch and being told

378
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: to leave because this taf got triggered by her politics.

379
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: And of course Sarah is a very gracious lady and god.

380
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 11: Oh I love her and I love her father.

381
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, and apparently, by all accounts, she's doing a phenomenal

382
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 10: job in Arkansas with education, especially in crime. And yeah,

383
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 10: so you know, I don't care what your politics are,

384
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 10: I truly don't, but treat people with kindness and dignity.

385
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 10: The people that are wrong in this thing are the

386
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 10: people that got triggered. Oh my gosh, you know what,

387
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 10: are they four years old?

388
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 11: Come on? No, you treat every customer exactly the same.

389
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 11: But it's just it's just it's it's wrong. That's all

390
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 11: I can say.

391
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: Can'thy Lee, Doesn't it go back? I mean, you look

392
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: at all problems that are facing the nation and really

393
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: the world right now, and it all goes back to

394
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: a central thing. It's that you've got to get back

395
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: to the Bible. You've got to get back to the

396
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 2: foundations of who we are as a nation, and that

397
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: foundation is built on Christ. And I think a lot

398
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: of people, quite frankly, I think we need a good

399
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 2: old fashioned revival in this nation.

400
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 10: Well, it seems to be happening with the children with

401
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 10: kids because they found that the world's way is the

402
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 10: wrong way. You know, I had a choice to make

403
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 10: years ago when I asked issue with Jesus.

404
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 11: Into my heart. It was what are I going to go?

405
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 10: The world's way, or I felt like I heard his

406
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 10: voice and he said, Kathy, I love you and I

407
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 10: want to make something beautiful of your life.

408
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 11: Trust me, and I'll make something beautiful of your life.

409
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 11: And he has.

410
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 10: That doesn't mean I haven't had a lot of trials

411
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 10: and tribulations like everybody else. But ultimately the Kingdom wins.

412
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 10: And that's basically the point of our new book about

413
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 10: and it's the second in a series of ancient evil

414
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 10: and living hope. Because people think that there's more evil

415
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 10: in the world today, Todd, there is not. Evil is

416
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 10: has been there.

417
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 8: It was.

418
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 10: It was in the garden of Eden, and but we

419
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 10: hear more about it now because of cable news. We

420
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 10: hear more about it because of our We see it

421
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 10: more in our phone phones. Things I wish I'd never seen,

422
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 10: but somebody happened to catch it on an on an iPhone.

423
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 11: You know.

424
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 10: So it's it's you can get your sunses get assaulted.

425
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 10: But the evil that we talk about in our first book,

426
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 10: Herod and Mary, and our second book now Nero and Paul,

427
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 10: it's it's we juxtaposed.

428
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 13: The excruciating evil of these different leaders in their day

429
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 13: opposite somebody as pure as Mary was God was present

430
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 13: in this in her womb, even when Herod was doing

431
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 13: his evil.

432
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 10: And then with with uh Nero, Nero didn't fiddle while

433
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 10: that that's that's not true. You'll learn all kinds of

434
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 10: things historically they're that are not accurate because we're very,

435
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 10: very careful to be historically not perfect. Nobody's perfect, but

436
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 10: we didn't anywhere we think something might not be.

437
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 11: We don't know.

438
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 10: There's just some question we footnoted so people can make

439
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 10: up their own minds. I'm a libertarian at heart in

440
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 10: that sense. I want people to use their God given

441
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 10: gifts to figure things out.

442
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that. The name of the book,

443
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: folks Nero and Paul, How the Gospel of Grace Defeated

444
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 2: the Ruler of Rome. It is available in bookstores all

445
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: over the country, and of course you can also get

446
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: it online. I want to ask you about that process, So,

447
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Kathie Lee, of writing and doing the research, because you're

448
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 2: balancing this historical you know, being historically accurate with a

449
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: narrative that sort of brings you know, first century Rome

450
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 2: to life, how did you do that? How difficult was that?

451
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 6: Well?

452
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 10: I had a co writer, I needed it this time

453
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 10: because I couldn't do all the research. He has several

454
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 10: PhDs and written a ton of books, and doctor Brian Litvin,

455
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 10: and we've written both of these together because I didn't

456
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 10: want to take I don't have five years of my

457
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 10: life to research these books.

458
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 11: You know. It takes a year for me to write them.

459
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 10: And I co wrote them with Brian because he did

460
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 10: all the heavy lifting. So I want to give him

461
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 10: all the credit for that. He's a brilliant scholar. I

462
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 10: have studied with brilliant scholars and with the greatest biblical

463
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 10: scholars in the world. So people think when I talk

464
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 10: about something, they think, oh, I didn't know you were

465
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 10: this biblical scholar.

466
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 11: No I'm not. I'm not, and I never will be.

467
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 10: I've brought out a time to become a scholar about

468
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 10: anything except life, you know. And yeah, so our part

469
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 10: was how do we make it a thriller? That was

470
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 10: my son's ideas. My son got his master's degree at

471
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 10: Oxford University in all this kind of stuff, and he's

472
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 10: a brilliant, brilliant young man. And I said, oh, yeah,

473
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 10: I don't know how to write Wheer's I said. He said, well,

474
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 10: that's only because you have never done it before. Mom,

475
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 10: you know you can do it.

476
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 11: And so we put.

477
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 10: Our mutual acts together and uh, the first one was

478
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 10: super successful and this one is turning out to be

479
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 10: even more.

480
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 11: So we're really grateful to everybody.

481
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 10: And and I write cinematically. I'm a director, I'm a

482
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 10: I'm a performer, I'm an entertainer, so I am I'm

483
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 10: a visual person. And so we wanted to write it

484
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 10: that to take you back into Nero's world. At the

485
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 10: same time that that Paul is is an excruciating agony

486
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 10: in one of his you know, rotting, I've been to

487
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 10: the cell where he was held in captivity.

488
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 11: Uh, it's still there in Rome.

489
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 10: It's the same one apparently that at another time Peter

490
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 10: was in And so it is just that you can't

491
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 10: even imagine years of suffering in this we describe it.

492
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 10: It'll make you sick. In our book, we're very honest

493
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 10: about things like that. But the point of our book,

494
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 10: and I know we're running out of time, is that

495
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 10: what happens to people. We're all born babies, and babies

496
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 10: come straight from heaven. Weren't perfect when we come out

497
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 10: of the mother's womb. We just are we came straight

498
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 10: from heaven. I believe that's all my heart. And then

499
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 10: the world, you know, creeps in on our lives and

500
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 10: then we make different decisions about it.

501
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 11: What are we going to do?

502
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 10: Herod and Nero and the same that they had this

503
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 10: lust for power. Look all over the world today, Todd,

504
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 10: we see a lust for power and then a lust

505
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 10: to keep it once we get it.

506
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 11: And what these these caesars did because.

507
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 10: They weren't governed by any other authority than themselves. They

508
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 10: were beyond ruthless, they were beyond beast, youal, they were

509
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 10: beyond evil. And we go into all the depth of

510
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 10: that our story well, I'm not going to give it away.

511
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 10: We don't have time, but unbelievable and none of their

512
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 10: stories end up right or well, none of them have

513
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 10: a good ending, I believe.

514
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,479
Speaker 2: Before you're right, our time is quickly rapidly expiring here.

515
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: But I do want to want our listeners to understand

516
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 2: here that even though this is a book about Nero

517
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: and Paul, but the issues they were facing in their

518
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: own lives are issues that all of us are facing today.

519
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: And I know you cover things like persecution and being

520
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: resilient and faith and how that resonates in today's world.

521
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 10: Well, nobody was more persistent than Paul once he became Paul,

522
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 10: after he was Saul, because he said, I'm the chief

523
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 10: of sinners, because he had been murdering he thought in

524
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 10: a righteous way. He had a zeal for power too,

525
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 10: same thing, but a different empire, the empire of the

526
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 10: Jews in Israel at the time, and he wanted to

527
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 10: be in the Sanhedrin.

528
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 11: He wanted to be in the.

529
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 10: New Caiaphas the high priest. He had the same lust

530
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 10: for power, but he thought it was for God. But

531
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 10: he didn't know that he was killing God's children, God's followers.

532
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 10: Jesus's followers at that time are called people of the Way.

533
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 11: He was the Way, and Saul of Tarsus had this

534
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 11: zeal to.

535
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 10: Kill those people because he didn't think they were righteous

536
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 10: until they found out that that Jesus of Nazareth happened

537
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 10: to be the Messiah he claimed to believe in.

538
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 11: Who was coming.

539
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 10: Eventually he didn't know he had already come, And so

540
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 10: then his life changes. And you see the juxtaposition of

541
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 10: how both of them then went about their lives. And

542
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 10: Nero's known to this day, but not as well known

543
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 10: as Paul, and his letters are all over the world

544
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 10: for billions of people.

545
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: It's really an incredible story. And I was not familiar

546
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: with the story of Nero and Paul. And this is

547
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: such an exciting book, folks, you got to get a

548
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: copy of it, and it is. It is going to

549
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: be one of those impactful reads. And Kathie Lee also

550
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: want to give you a plug for your first book,

551
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: the first of this series, and tell us the name

552
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: of that, so folks can get a copy of that

553
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: as well.

554
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 11: Harod and Mary and these are dense historical books.

555
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 10: So I did the audio on both of them, and

556
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 10: people are loving the audios if they take me four

557
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 10: days to record, because I'm an actress at heart too,

558
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 10: started out doing that before anything else. So if it

559
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 10: seems a little dense and heavy for you, you can

560
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 10: get the audio version and I do all the heavy

561
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 10: lifting for you on those.

562
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I've written not as many

563
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: books as you, but they've asked me to do the

564
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 2: audio version. I thought, you know, it's a talk radio

565
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: host piece of cake, no problem. I got to tell you, Kathley,

566
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: that's one of the hardest things to do is to

567
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: do the audio narration. At least it was for me.

568
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 10: Yes, I enjoy it when it's a children's book that

569
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 10: I'm doing the audio version.

570
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 11: These things are hard and I.

571
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 10: Work super hard to get them right. You pronounce things properly,

572
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 10: say the name of the place is properly. I am

573
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 10: a perfectionist that way. I'll get things wrong once in

574
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 10: a while, but it's not because I didn't try, you know.

575
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: Well, Kathya Lee, thank you for coming on the show,

576
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: and we'd love to get you back on down the road.

577
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: Congratulations on this great, very impactful new book, Nero and Paul,

578
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: how the Gospel of Grace defeated the Ruler of Rome.

579
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, Kathy Lee.

580
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 11: Thank you God, bless you. Shalom shalom.

581
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 2: All right, and folks, you'll be able to watch Kathy

00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 14: You know, Todd, My suggestion that Sarah Huckabee would be

616
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 14: they should pull a Tyler Perry or Perry and all

617
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 14: dress up like Medea and various dresses and whatever. And

618
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 14: then that way nobody would recognize them, and the staff

619
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 14: would relate to that and their food would be safe.

620
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 11: Just figured i'd throw that out there.

621

630
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 2: an effort at it.

631
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: Are you? Are you watching the games right now and

632
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: during your show?

633
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: No, I'm not doing that me either. Oh I did

634
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 2: let them I move by you.

635

636
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: you can't really be doing any more of your bracket though.

637
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 3: I hate to tell you this. The games have already started,

638
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: so anything that you do right now doesn't really count.

639
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 2: So if Tennessee doesn't win, I'm done.

640
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: For Yeah, You're you're completely out.

641
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's terrible. Coming up, we're gonna tell the

642
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: story of afro Man, Dylan. This may be my favorite

643
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: story of all time.

644
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 3: I came in today not knowing who Afroman was, and

645
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 3: now he's probably my favorite person of all time.

646
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: So coming up, we're gonna We're gonna tell you the

647
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: story of afro Man and why this guy is a

648
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: great American hero. And man, does that guy have a fro?

649
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: I mean it's he kind of reminds me of Cedric

650
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: the entertainer.

651
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 3: I don't know who that is.

652
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: Have you not seen Barber Shop?

653
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: How old is this show?

654
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: Barber Shop? It was like in the early two thousands. Yes,

655
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 2: that's terrible, not too bad.

656
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: I'll have to watch it.

657
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 8: Then.

658
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: So we've got Afroman and then a NASCAR driver has

659
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 2: been suspended indefinitely. I guess there's a stream he was

660
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 2: caught on. I guess what is in a hot mic

661
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 2: or you know, they were streaming, he and a bunch

662
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: of the buddies and they were streaming and they made

663
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 2: the guy talked like a gay person. And I don't

664
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 2: know what that means, but the allegation is that he

665
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: talked like a gay person and he has now been

666
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: suspended indefinitely because of homophobia. We'll get to that story

667
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 2: a little bit later on as well. Also, Senator Tommy

668
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: Tubberville is going to join us. Joe Kent has officially

669
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: made his debut on The Tucker Carlson Show. We're going

670
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: to play some clips from that as well, coming up

671
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 2: in the next hour. You know, it's really interesting about

672
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: Joe Kent. It turns out that he was under an

673
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 2: FBI investigation, got wind of the investigation and immediately tendered

674
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: his resignation. So there's a little bit more. Actually, there's

675
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: a whole lot more to this than meets the eye.

676
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: But the issue here, and I know Meghan Kelly and

677
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: all these others are out there saying, well, if the

678
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: FEDS arrest Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson, then it's on

679
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 2: it's war. The issue for me is very simple. You

680
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: either believe that Donald Trump is telling the truth or

681
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: you believe that Tucker Carlson and Joe Kent are telling

682
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 2: the truth. It's it can't be both. It's one or

683
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: the other. And all I can tell you is that

684
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has been honest with the American people from

685
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: day one, and I appreciate that. My allegiance is to

686
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: the United States of America and our commander in chief,

687
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 2: and that person is Donald J. Trump. But again, we're

688
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: going to play some of that audio. Will let you

689
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 2: design for yourself. All right, Nine oh one two six

690
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six is our number. This is

691
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 2: the Tod Sterns Show.

692
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

693
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd Stars.

694
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 15: This American.

695
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 2: And hello everybody. Welcome to hour two of the Big Show.

696
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: Great to have you with us today. Write down our

697
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: telephone number. You will need this if you plan on

698
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: calling in nine oh one two six zero five nine

699
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 2: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five

700
00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 2: nine two six. Secretary of State market Rubio. I like

701
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 2: that guy, and his stock certainly appears to be rising

702
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: within Trump world JD Vance. Not so much right now,

703
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: not so much right now. But Marco Rubio said something

704
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 2: the other day that that really hit home for me

705
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: when it came to this, this conversation, this debate that's

706
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 2: being had about about Islam cut thirteen.

707
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 16: Ultimately, all radical Islamic movements in the world identify the

708
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 16: West written large, but the United States in particular, as

709
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 16: the greatest evil on the earth. And every chance to

710
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 16: have the notion that somehow radical Islam would be comfortable

711
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 16: with simply controlling some province in Irock or Syria is

712
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 16: just not borne out by history. Radical Islam has shown

713
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 16: that their desire is not simply to occupy one part

714
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 16: of the world and be happy with their own little calife.

715
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 16: They want to expand it is. It is a revolutionary

716
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 16: in its nature. It seeks to expand and control more

717
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 16: territories and more people. And radical Islam has designs openly

718
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 16: on the West, on the United States, on Europe. We've

719
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 16: seen that progress there as well, and they are prepared

720
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 16: to conduct acts of terrorism in the case of Iran

721
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 16: nation state actions, assassinations, murderers, you name it, whatever it

722
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 16: takes for them to gain their influence and ultimately their

723
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 16: domination of different cultures and societies. That's a clear and

724
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 16: imminent threat to the world and to the broader West,

725
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,879
Speaker 16: but especially to the United States, who they identify as

726
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 16: the chief chief source of evil on the planet. The

727
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 16: reason why they hate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia the

728
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 16: leadership of the UAE of Bahrain is because they've allowed

729
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 16: the United States to partner with them. That's why they

730
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 16: hate them. They consider them infidels for it. They hate Israel,

731
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 16: but they also hate America, and they hate anywhere in

732
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 16: the world that we have influenced. They seek to attack it,

733
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 16: including here in the homeland. If you look at the

734
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 16: domestic terrorists that the attacks that happened here domestically, the

735
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 16: overwhelming majority of them have been inspired by radical Islamic viewpoints,

736
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 16: and that includes the shooting in the Poults nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

737
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 16: That includes the Saudi Pilot and Pensacola, my home state,

738
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 16: two attacks.

739
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 2: Well, I'm very interested to hear what my next guest

740
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 2: has to say about that. He is the president of

741
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: the Crime Prevention Research Center. He served as the Senior

742
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 2: Advisor for Research and Stats in the Office of Justice

743
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 2: Programs and the Office of Legal Policy for the Justice

744
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 2: Department back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and

745
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: he has a great piece up on real clear politics,

746
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 2: the terror threat that Americans aren't supposed to discuss. John

747
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: Lott joins us, Doctor lot. Always good to have you

748
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: on the program. Thank you for joining us today.

749
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 6: It's great to talk to you again. Thanks for having

750
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 6: me on.

751
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: So you just heard the Secretary of State there sort

752
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 2: of lay all of that out, and I know a

753
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: number of members of Congress are very alarmed at this

754
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: what they consider to be a threat to the United States.

755
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 6: What say you, Well, yeah, I mean a lot of

756
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 6: the media discussion on this makes the mistake of just

757
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 6: looking at the percent of attacks by Muslims, for example,

758
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 6: but doesn't adjust for their share of the population. We

759
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 6: collect data regularly on mass public shootings, so we looked

760
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,919
Speaker 6: at that have very detailed data from nineteen ninety eight

761
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 6: through now on it, and what you find is that

762
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 6: Muslims greatly disproportionately compared to their share of the population

763
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 6: are engaged in mass public shootings. In fact, it's a

764
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 6: ratio of about eighteen times their share of the population.

765
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,800
Speaker 6: It's not most of the cases, or even a huge

766
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 6: percentage of the cases, but you have to adjust for

767
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 6: their share of the population. And I'm sure without thinking

768
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 6: about it, people are familiar with a lot of these cases,

769
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 6: from the Fort Hood shooting with the major who is

770
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 6: in connection with isis all the way up to the

771
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 6: San Bernardino attack in California. You know, you've had eight

772
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 6: of these mass public shootings that have occurred over that

773
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 6: period of time that involved Muslims is supposedly doing instead,

774
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 6: you know, the Biden administration goes and focuses on things

775
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 6: that are not as common, you know, so called right

776
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 6: wing right, white supremacists, and uh, you know, it's just

777
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 6: been a misallocation of resources.

778
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: And now you have folks like Tucker Carlson coming out

779
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: and saying, oh, Islam does not pose a threat of

780
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: violence in the United States. Where and other social media

781
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: influencers on what would be considered the conservative side of

782
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 2: the aisle, Where where are they getting all of this

783
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 2: that you know their information from.

784
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 6: I have no clue. I mean, Tucker Carlson's made many

785
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 6: of those statements. Usually it's he sarcastically just dismisses people. Look,

786
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 6: just the first two weeks of March, we've had a

787
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 6: number of cases, from the attack in Austin, Texas, to

788
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 6: the bombings bombs that were thrown in New York City,

789
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 6: to the Temple Israel attack in Michigan, to the Old

790
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 6: Dominion University attack in Virginia, where you know, the guy

791
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 6: in Austin was wearing a T shirt saying property of Allah,

792
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 6: and a couple of the other ones were yelling Akbar

793
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 6: when they were doing the attacks. The guy with the

794
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 6: Temple Israel his brother apparently was captain in Hballa in Lebanon,

795
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 6: and so you know, obviously there are connections that are there.

796
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 6: But what we tried to do and looking at this

797
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 6: was say, okay, well, well a lot of this recent

798
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 6: stuff is due to obviously in response to the war

799
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 6: in Iran, So we wanted to look at an earlier

800
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 6: period of time before that became an issue. So we

801
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 6: looked at all the data from nineteen ninety eight through

802
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 6: twenty twenty five, and of course there are other types

803
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 6: of attacks. Besides that. You have the truck that was

804
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 6: driven through the crowded people in New Orleans last year,

805
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 6: which fourteen people were killed and something like forty seven

806
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 6: people were injured. But the data has been put together

807
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 6: very clearly with all sorts of information on the background

808
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 6: for all the mass public shooters. So that was an

809
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 6: easy thing to go and look at.

810
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 2: And again when you go back and that is a

811
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: significant amount of time, you're able to see patterns certainly develop.

812
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 2: And according to your article, I want to read this,

813
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: that makes Middle Easterners the most disproportionate ethnic or racial

814
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 2: group involved in mass public shootings during this period. So,

815
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: I mean it's I'm not really surprised by this, but

816
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: it's really troubling that the administration, I have to imagine

817
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 2: they've got access to these numbers, the previous administration, the Democrats,

818
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: and yet they completely ignored that and try to cast

819
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: the blame on a group that was probably not as dangerous.

820
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I mean we can break it down different ways.

821
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,879
Speaker 6: We can look at their actual religious affiliation, we can

822
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,760
Speaker 6: look at their ethnic affiliation, you know, as you say,

823
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 6: so you can look to see whether there Muslims. You

824
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 6: can also see whether they're from the Middle East origin.

825
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 6: And you know, you look at the attacks in March

826
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 6: that we've had before that we just went through, all

827
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 6: those individuals had become naturalized US citizens, so you know

828
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 6: they were not born originally in the United States. They

829
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 6: were from Middle Eastern Muslim countries to begin with. But look,

830
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 6: one of the things that's interesting to me is the

831
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 6: media and the buying administration puts so much emphasis on

832
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 6: right wing white supremacists. If you look at just simple

833
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 6: political views, the vast majority of these attackers are non political.

834
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 6: You just have individuals who are suicidal. You have about

835
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 6: seven percent of the attacks involved somebody who's either anti immigrant,

836
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 6: racist of some type, or white supremacist. But what's missed

837
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 6: in the media coverage because they basically take anybody who's

838
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 6: anti immigrant or white supremacists as a right winger. And

839
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 6: if you actually go and read the diaries and manifestos,

840
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 6: what you find is that most of those individuals are environmentalists.

841
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 6: They don't like minorities because they're upset about people having children,

842
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 6: and they believe that minorities are having a disproportionate number

843
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 6: of children, and so I don't know. Maybe I live

844
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,839
Speaker 6: a very isolated life and don't talk too many conservatives.

845
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 6: You may know more than I do, but I'm not

846
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 6: sure I know too many conservatives that are upset about

847
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 6: people having children that that's somehow damaging the environment. And

848
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 6: it's more than that. You read things like the El

849
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 6: Paso Walmart tutor or the Buffalo mass murderer. Those individuals

850
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 6: classify themselves as environmental extremists. They call themselves socialists. They

851
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 6: talked about their ideal former government as being communist China,

852
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 6: and so I don't know. Maybe there are a lot

853
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 6: of conservatives out there who think that communist China is

854
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 6: kind of the ideal former government for people to have.

855
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 6: But you know, my guess is if you're going to

856
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 6: go look at politicians who are are most concerned about

857
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 6: people having kids, it's going to be more likely to

858
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 6: be somebody like AOC or Biden. Then it's going to

859
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 6: be any conservative politician that you can name.

860
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 2: Well, it's a great point, and again, folks, I want

861
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 2: you to read doctor John Lott's piece in Real Clear

862
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 2: Politics the terror threat Americans aren't supposed to discuss, and

863
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: he comes armed with stats, and I think those are

864
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: so very important, especially when you talk about winning the argument,

865
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 2: Doctor Lott. We're going to have to leave it there,

866
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: but congratulations, a great piece you wrote. Be sure to

867
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 2: appreciate you joining us on the show today.

868
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 6: That's great talking to you. Thanks very much.

869
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, everybody, doctor John Lott.

870
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: And again the facts, the facts, ladies and gentlemen, are

871
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: that Middle Easterners are more likely to commit acts of

872
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: terror in the United States more than any other other people.

873
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 2: Group nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

874
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 2: This is our number. That's nine oh one two six

875
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 2: zero five nine two six. Now I want to get

876
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 2: to some of this audio. Joe Kent was on Tucker

877
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 2: Carlson's program. And by the way, this was all planned out.

878
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 2: It was all planned, It was all planned in advance.

879
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: This did not just happen randomly that Joe resigned and

880
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 2: then immediately showed up on the Tucker Carlson Show. So

881
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 2: he's doing all these and we've got a couple of clips,

882
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,840
Speaker 2: but this one just really, I lo, it just rubbed

883
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 2: me the wrong way. Joe Kent revealing the last thing

884
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk said to him, take a listen.

885
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 17: And then you know, Charlie Kirk is killed publicly in

886
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 17: a very horrific way, and we're not really even allowed

887
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 17: to look into that at all. And Charlie Kirk was

888
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 17: one of President Trump's closest advisors, and he also advocated

889
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 17: heavily against a war with Iran. He was in the

890
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 17: Oval Office in the lead up to the Twelve Day War.

891
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 17: I wasn't particularly close with Charlie. He was very very

892
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 17: gracious to me when I was running for Congress, very

893
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 17: very supportive.

894
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:03,839
Speaker 18: So we knew each other.

895
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 17: And the last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this

896
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 17: earth was in June in the in the West Wing

897
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 17: in the stairway, and I said hi to him, and

898
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 17: he looked me in the eye and he said very loudly,

899
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 17: and it's a small you've been in the West Wing.

900
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 17: It's small, it's a tight space. And he said, Joe,

901
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 17: stop us from getting into a war.

902
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 18: With Iran, very loudly.

903
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 3: He was single minded, and he.

904
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 18: Walked off and he went, I believe, into the Oval.

905
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 17: So when one of President Trump's closest advisors, who is

906
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 17: vocally advocating for us to not go to war with

907
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 17: Iran and for us to rethink at least our relationship

908
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 17: with the Israelis and then he suddenly publicly assassinated and

909
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 17: we're not allowed to ask any questions about that.

910
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 18: It's a data point. It's a data point that we

911
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 18: need to look into.

912
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 19: What do you mean when you say we're not allowed

913
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 19: to ask any questions about that.

914
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 17: We've we've been told that this individual Robinson is a

915
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 17: lone gunman, and maybe he is. But the investigation that

916
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 17: I was a part of, the National Counterarism Center was

917
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 17: a part of. We were stopped from continuing to investigate.

918
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 17: And the FBI will say that that they stopped that

919
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 17: because they wanted to have every turn everything over to

920
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 17: the Utah state authorities. Everything's going to trial. It's very

921
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 17: very sensitive. But there was still a lot for us

922
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 17: to look into that I can't really get into. But

923
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,319
Speaker 17: there was still linkage for us to investigate that we

924
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 17: needed to run down. I'm not making any conclusions. I'm

925
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,880
Speaker 17: not saying, oh, I don't think you will because you

926
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 17: know because of this this happened. I'm not saying that

927
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 17: at all. I'm just saying there's unanswered questions. We know

928
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 17: the pressure because of the text messages, text messages that

929
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 17: have been made public that Charlie was under a lot

930
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 17: of pressure from a lot of pro Israel donors. And

931
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 17: again we know Charlie was advocating to President Trump against

932
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 17: this war with Iran.

933
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 2: All right, So a little bit to unravel here again,

934
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 2: How did this guy get a job inside the White House?

935
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: Is what I want to know. First of all, he

936
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: was a Democrat. He switched to the Democrat Party in

937
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen. This is from the reporting of Sarah Fields.

938
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: He voted for Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, and

939
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 2: he switched to the Republican Party in twenty twenty one.

940
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 2: So the guy, it seems to me that he does

941
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 2: come across as being an opportunist. And do we are

942
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 2: we really are we really supposed to believe that the

943
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 2: last words Charlie uttered to this guy, or We've got

944
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 2: to stop the war in Iran, when this guy is

945
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 2: on the record supporting war against Iran. And there was

946
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: also a rather there was an implication there that Israel

947
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 2: was somehow involved in Charlie Kirk's death. So look, here's

948
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: the deal. Bottom line. You're either going to believe Tucker

949
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 2: Carlson and Joe Kent or you're gonna believe Donald Trump

950
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 2: that both of them are saying polar opposite things. So

951
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: the issue now is who who do you believe? All right,

952
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 2: we've got to take a break. Nine oh one two

953
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 2: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd

954
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: Stearns Show. All right, here's the headline from NBC News.

955
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 2: NASCAR suspends driver Daniel die after he used a gay

956
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 2: voice on live stream. He has since apologized, saying I

957
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 2: chose my words poorly and I understand why it upset people.

958
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: So all of this was happening as they were doing

959
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: a live stream. Can we let's play that live stream there? Dylan,

960
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 2: I kind of know what he raised or anything.

961
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 15: We did some like Saint Pete promo stuff and he

962
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 15: was at it, and I thought he was one of

963
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 15: like the indie next guys, or like the Nauta guy

964
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 15: or something.

965
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 13: I read.

966
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 3: Sorry, he plays for the other team, I think.

967
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 15: And I was like, I was like, so, what do

968
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 15: you like you alas any olds and he was like distraughted.

969
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 15: I asked him that question, like, yeah, we raised Nashville

970
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 15: and in Iowa.

971
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my gosh, yes, oh that's it. So

972
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 2: that's the gay voice. All right, we're good, We're good.

973
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 2: That's the gay voice, right, So that's that's what got

974
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 2: the guy in trouble. He's like been suspended indefinitely.

975
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 3: Interesting for that. I guess he's mocking him? What David?

976
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 2: David Malucas is the guy they're mocking.

977
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 3: So that gets you suspended for the rest of the

978
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 3: what season?

979
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 6: See?

980
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: The problem is NASCAR's gone completely woke, right, yeah, they have.

981
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 2: So my question is, Okay, are they going to suspend

982
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: somebody for I don't know, mocking a redneck? Are they

983
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 2: gonna would they hold that them to the.

984
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 3: Same state line?

985
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 2: But apparently David Malucas is not gay, He's Lithuanian, So

986
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 2: maybe maybe that's how Lithuanian's talk. I don't know, Maybe

987
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 2: I know. I was kind of disappointed. I'm like, what

988
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: is it? What was he talking about?

989
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 4: Here?

990
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 2: Blow it out your tail pipe?

991
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 13: Boys?

992
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 2: Oh you make me want to tork your engine room room?

993
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 2: Now that I could see as being I don't know,

994
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,439
Speaker 2: maybe offensive, I guess, but to definitely suspend the guy,

995
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 2: jess Alu Nascar is a little sensitive these days. All right,

996
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: hang tight, everybody gotta take a quick break. This is

997
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 2: the ton Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This

998
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 2: is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. Honored to have you

999
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 2: with today. Senator Tommy Tubbervilt coming up, by the way,

1000
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 2: just got a note Monday, a Congressman Jim Jordan wants

1001
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 2: to drop by the show, So we'll look forward to

1002
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 2: that conversation. We're sort ofly becoming like the big stop

1003
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,959
Speaker 2: everybody's got to make as we head down the campaign trail.

1004
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 2: Want to welcome in our great friend, Republican strategist from

1005
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 2: right here in Memphis, Tennessee, Luke Symbol. Luke Hope you're

1006
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 2: doing well.

1007
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 20: I'm doing well, tought, except you had me crying laughing

1008
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 20: in that last segment. That was pretty good.

1009
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: It's insane. I mean, this is and by the way,

1010
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,920
Speaker 2: we knew NASCAR was going woke back when Phil Robertson,

1011
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 2: the late great Phil Robertson, was asked to pray and

1012
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,800
Speaker 2: they got upset because he prayed in the name of

1013
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.

1014
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 20: They are growing so woke and it's yet another example

1015
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 20: of an institution not understanding who their base is.

1016
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's unfortunately, I mean, let's get real. You know,

1017
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's a certain demographic watches Nascar,

1018
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 2: and the fact that you're going after that demographic now

1019
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 2: is just it's just a just absurd. By the way,

1020
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 2: President Trump coming to Memphis on Monday.

1021
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 20: Huge news touting the massive success of the Memphis Safe

1022
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 20: Task Force here in Memphis, that we have major crime

1023
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 20: down fifty percent across the board, some of these violent

1024
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 20: crimes down seventy percent. It because of President Trump and

1025
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 20: others who work together to get this Memphis Safe Task

1026
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 20: Force here with the National Guard, FBI, all the alphabet

1027
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 20: soup of agencies. It's like a new city. It's a

1028
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 20: new day in Memphis, and it's really encouraging. And I

1029
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 20: hope he takes a victory lap and commits the making

1030
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,440
Speaker 20: Memphis the safest city in America.

1031
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 2: It's really remarkable. And of course, his son's very involved

1032
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 2: at Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital and they actually have

1033
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 2: a lot of friends here in the Memphis area.

1034
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 20: They do, and you know, Saint Jude is really a

1035
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 20: jewel here for Memphis. And a couple of years ago

1036
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 20: that research doctor was shot in downtown Memphis and Saint

1037
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 20: Jude finally started beating the drum of saying we love Memphis.

1038
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 20: We love being here, but we can't stay here when

1039
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 20: we cannot attract talent because Memphis is too dangerous to

1040
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 20: get the doctors here. And so that woke a lot

1041
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 20: of people up. And I'm telling you, Todd, you know,

1042
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 20: I live in Memphis, I own a home in Memphis.

1043
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 20: I'm investing in Memphis. I love Memphis.

1044
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: And it had.

1045
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 20: Gotten really, really discouraging in twenty twenty three and twenty

1046
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 20: twenty four. And if you had told me then that

1047
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 20: the President of the United States would be zeroed in

1048
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 20: on solving our crime crisis, I would not have believed you.

1049
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 20: It's so encouraging. And so we just thanked President Trump

1050
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 20: for his willingness to do so.

1051
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: Earlier, we talked about what happened to Sarah Huckemy Sanders

1052
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 2: right across the Mississippi River in Arkansas, being told to

1053
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: leave a restaurant because her political views were triggering to

1054
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: the staff. It's just it's really shocking that this kind

1055
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 2: of stuff goes on.

1056
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 20: It's so annoying. I mean, come on, you know, and

1057
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 20: culture likes to say you're no longer discriminated against when

1058
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 20: you move into a neighborhood and the home values around

1059
00:59:58,680 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 20: you go up.

1060
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 2: That's how it is with the gays.

1061
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 20: People When they move into a neighborhood, they clean up

1062
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 20: the house, they redo the landscaping, and the values go up.

1063
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 20: People welcome them with open arms. Just stop being annoying.

1064
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 20: You're no longer discriminated against.

1065
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 2: And they stop it. Yeah, these servers, you know, they

1066
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 2: go on. They don't understand that they could end up

1067
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 2: being on the unemployment line. Yeah, I mean stupid.

1068
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 20: It's totally stupid. And can you imagine if a gay

1069
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 20: couple went into a restaurant to get some croissants and

1070
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 20: the staff said, oh, no, we don't like gay people,

1071
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 20: please leave. It would be a national news story. And

1072
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 20: yet the mainstream media has no interest in this. So

1073
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 20: thanks for bringing it to light. It's so frustrating and annoying.

1074
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 20: It just gives gays around the country who are no

1075
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 20: longer discriminated against the bad name.

1076
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1077
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 2: I just don't get that at all. We've been following

1078
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 2: a lot of weird news coming out of Washington. If

1079
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: I were a betting man, I would say that Tulsi

1080
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 2: Gabbard is probably a short termer in the administration. I

1081
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 2: just just by what i've been hearing and what I've

1082
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 2: been observing. But this Joe Kent guy, so now we

1083
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: know that apparently he was under FBI investigation for leaking

1084
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 2: classified intelligence documents, got wind of it, resigned and then

1085
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: immediately shows up on Tucker Carlson's show, and they are

1086
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 2: clearly as a matter of fact, Dylan, let's play that

1087
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 2: other piece of audio. I want this was a cut

1088
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 2: number eighteen.

1089
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 19: Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?

1090
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 17: No, they weren't, you know, three weeks ago and this started,

1091
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 17: and they weren't in June either. I mean, the Irians

1092
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 17: have had a religious ruling of Fatua against actually developing

1093
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 17: a nuclear weapons since two thousand and four. That's been

1094
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 17: in place since two thousand and four. That's available in

1095
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 17: the public sphere. But then also we had no intelligence

1096
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 17: to indicate that that Fatua was being disobeyed or it

1097
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 17: was on the cusp of being lifted. The Iranian strategy,

1098
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 17: it's actually pretty pragmatic. The Iranians are obviously aware of

1099
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 17: what's taking place in their region, and their strategy was

1100
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 17: to not completely abandon their nuclear program because they saw

1101
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 17: what happened to market Afie and Libya when he said, hey,

1102
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 17: I've got no more nukes.

1103
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 18: I'll do what you say. I'll give up my.

1104
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,640
Speaker 3: Nukes, and we gave them peace price.

1105
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 17: Yeah, we regime changed him and he was you know,

1106
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 17: executed by his own people in the most horrific bayonet.

1107
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 14: Right.

1108
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,200
Speaker 19: Okay, So that's what that's the lesson I think that

1109
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 19: the entire region took from that when Hillary Clinton.

1110
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 17: Unfortunately, that's what the the neocon neoliberal warmongers, that's the

1111
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 17: lesson that they showed everyone in the region. And then conversely,

1112
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 17: the Iranians also knew that if they came out and said, okay,

1113
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 17: we've we've got a nuke, whether they were bluffing or not,

1114
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:44,959
Speaker 17: Saddam Hussein Iraq right.

1115
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 18: Next door, so they kind of had hung.

1116
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 17: I think he was hung by his own people, you know,

1117
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 17: after a bloody, you know war that's still essentially going

1118
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 17: on inside of a rock. So the the Iranians position,

1119
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 17: when viewed from the lens of the region, was actually

1120
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 17: fairly pragmatic. They were preventing, you know, themselves from developing

1121
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 17: a bomb, but they still wanted the ability. They wanted

1122
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 17: the ability to enrich, they wanted the ability to have

1123
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 17: some components. So that they weren't completely stripped of it,

1124
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 17: and when we always assessed that they were either several

1125
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 17: months or a year, two years away from actually being

1126
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 17: able to develop a nuclear weapon.

1127
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 18: And that's not because the Iranians are stupid people.

1128
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 17: I think we can we can tell right now that

1129
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 17: the Iranians are anything but stupid. They had the ability,

1130
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 17: I think that the brain power to actually develop one,

1131
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 17: or they could have simply traded a ton of oil

1132
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 17: with Pakistan or with someone else to actually get a

1133
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 17: nuclear weapon.

1134
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 18: They were not doing that. We had no indication, no

1135
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:37,959
Speaker 18: intelligence to indicate that they were.

1136
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 2: So Joe kin here is now basically saying President Trump

1137
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 2: lied to the nation.

1138
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 20: Well, look, I hope that's not true. Joe Kent came

1139
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 20: to prominence running for Congress out on the West Coast.

1140
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 20: He ran a pretty good campaign, loss, ran again lost,

1141
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 20: and he was given an opportunity in the Trump administration.

1142
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 20: And you know that. I was talking to a friend

1143
01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 20: last night. I don't know how I feel about this

1144
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 20: Iranian situation. I do trust President Trump. I do think

1145
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 20: that they need The administration has to be more than

1146
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 20: forthcoming about the intelligence that they had to convince the

1147
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 20: American people that this is a good idea, and I

1148
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,920
Speaker 20: think we have to accomplish whatever we need to accomplish

1149
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 20: and get out. I do think that is President Trump's goal.

1150
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 20: He doesn't want to have a war there. He wants

1151
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 20: to accomplish what he needs to accomplish and get out.

1152
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 20: But there is something gross to me about Joe Kent

1153
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 20: leaving the administration trying to generate as much media buzz

1154
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 20: as possible going out on these podcasts. Not really you know,

1155
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 20: he was not really asked super difficult questions and there

1156
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 20: wasn't a ton of pushback. I would be fine maybe

1157
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 20: with an interview, whether there's a there's an intense back

1158
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 20: and forth, but it just seems gross to me to

1159
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 20: be given an opportunity to work in the administration and

1160
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 20: then you leave and just try to get a lot

1161
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 20: of attention for yourself.

1162
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's it's unseemly. There's something else going on here.

1163
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 2: Of course, within the administration, you've got a battle really

1164
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 2: between say Tucker Carlson, well JD. Vance Tucker Carlson, Tucker's

1165
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,120
Speaker 2: son works for JD. Vans, So you've got the Vice

1166
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 2: President's office. I think going to war with Marco Ruby

1167
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 2: on that crowd, and that's where the dividing line is.

1168
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 2: And you've got a lot of Tucker supporters and JD.

1169
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Van supporters. I think Don Junior is, of course you're

1170
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 2: good friends with. So I don't know if we're looking

1171
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 2: at a political divide, if we're looking at an age divide.

1172
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 2: But I don't think it looks good, you know, as

1173
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 2: we start looking beyond twenty twenty six to twenty twenty eight.

1174
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 20: Yeah, this is not good. And I do not think

1175
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 20: regardless of whether somebody thinks that going into Iran was

1176
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 20: a good idea, and I think that's Sylla for debate

1177
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 20: and it may be very, very successful, and I hope

1178
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 20: that it is. I don't know that the populace, I

1179
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 20: don't know is buying into it. And I know that

1180
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 20: the Fox News was pushing some polls yesterday showing that

1181
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 20: the magabase overwhelmingly supports it. I'll just say amongst my

1182
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 20: friend group that I do consider it's really split, and

1183
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 20: it's we need to have these conversations right now. I

1184
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 20: don't know that the way that Joe Kent is going

1185
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 20: about it, though, it just it seems a little gross

1186
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 20: to me.

1187
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 2: We've got twenty five hitter marines over there. You don't

1188
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 2: send the marines unless you're planning on putting them on

1189
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 2: the ground right there are there's some reporting, scattered reporting,

1190
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 2: that we may be calling up thousands more troops. If

1191
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 2: that happens, how do you how does this play out

1192
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 2: in the Maga base if we end up having to

1193
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 2: physically invade Iran?

1194
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 5: I don't.

1195
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 20: I just don't think it's it's a good thing. And

1196
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 20: and Trump ran on three things, build the wall, which

1197
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 20: was also and and immigrant, you know, slow down immigration

1198
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 20: and immigration, bring jobs, foreign jobs, bring manufacturing back home.

1199
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 20: And then the third thing was no more foreign wars.

1200
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 20: That was a huge tenant of the platform. And he

1201
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 20: must show us that this is not a foreign war

1202
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 20: that we are going to be in for a long time.

1203
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 20: And this is really gonna If this is still going

1204
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 20: on with the midterms, it's it's not going to be

1205
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 20: a good situation. So I hope, I hope that this

1206
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 20: is a week's long thing and we accomplish the mission

1207
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 20: and get out. And Trump is very victorious.

1208
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 2: We've got our my Newsmax reporter out on the West coast.

1209
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,440
Speaker 2: He's going to be doing a live report tonight at

1210
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 2: five o'clock, he'll be in front of a gas station

1211
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 2: where I think gas prices are eight nine dollars a gallon.

1212
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 2: We're talking about for regular unleaded gasoline.

1213
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 20: Oh, it's up a dollar. I filled up the other day.

1214
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 20: It was up a dollar within a week or two,

1215
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 20: and it's still going higher. It's people, it's the kitchen

1216
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 20: table issues. And I'm not convinced Todd that Iran is

1217
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 20: a kitchen table issue. It feels like, you know, like

1218
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 20: my grandparents who have Fox News on all day every day,

1219
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 20: it feels to me like they're really interested and invested

1220
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 20: in this. But I don't know that the everyday average

1221
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 20: person who you know, has four kids at home and

1222
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 20: is trying to make it by, is really in tune

1223
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 20: with what's happening Iran or that they care. Now, look,

1224
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 20: if Iran did have access to a nuclear weaponar was close,

1225
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 20: we definitely needed something to do about it. And we

1226
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 20: need to see that intelligence.

1227
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 2: And I will say again, Tulcia Gambard completely opposed to

1228
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 2: all of this. You know, she she was against it,

1229
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,720
Speaker 2: and she actually contradicted the President yesterday and her testimony.

1230
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 2: President said that that Iran had been obliterated, and Tulcia

1231
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 2: Gabbard said, no, that was not anchorate that well, she didn't,

1232
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 2: she used different terminology, but clearly Iran was hit hard.

1233
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 2: But they have not been obliterated.

1234
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 20: Right, I don't think they're obliterated. They have not had

1235
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 20: an election to restore a republic or restore democracy there.

1236
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 20: I just I don't think what we're not done yet,

1237
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 20: And so again I think we need to emphasize this

1238
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 20: needs to be done as quickly as possible so that

1239
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 20: we completely We had such an amazing turn of the

1240
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 20: narrative after the State of the Union and we were

1241
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 20: winning and then this Iran thing happened, and Todd, I

1242
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 20: don't think that we're I don't think that we're winning

1243
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 20: right now.

1244
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 2: And that's a scary thing to think about because we've

1245
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 2: got everything on the line here, yep. And I'm just

1246
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 2: going to say this. I think you've got Republicans that

1247
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,200
Speaker 2: are fractured all over the country, all over the.

1248
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 20: From the local level, local up all the way up.

1249
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 20: And we need you know, the Republican Party largely had

1250
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 20: no relevance before Donald Trump. We were after that Mitt

1251
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 20: Romney lost. What was the Republican Party? What did the

1252
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 20: Republican Party stand for? And there is still that battle

1253
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 20: of the old guard versus the new guard, and it's

1254
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,320
Speaker 20: it's happening even here in Memphis, and you see it.

1255
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 20: And this this foreign skirmish I really don't think helps things.

1256
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: I mean when you think about it, and and and

1257
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 2: it's I mean, I don't want to go down this path.

1258
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 2: But the reality is, I think a lot of folks

1259
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 2: establishment Republicans see this as an opportunity to take their

1260
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 2: party back from the populist and the you know, the

1261
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 2: evangelicals who were somewhat decimated in the party platform fights

1262
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: ye back in the in twenty twenty four. So I

1263
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: think this is the opportunity they see of going back

1264
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 2: to the way the party used to be before Ronald Reagan,

1265
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 2: which was you know, the Gerald Ford more establishment types.

1266
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 20: Yes, and you're even seeing this in the podcast space

1267
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 20: with all these new podcasters who suddenly have a voice

1268
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 20: and a little bit of a following. And what I

1269
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 20: want to encourage people is listen to the voices that

1270
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 20: have been saying the same things forever. Todd, You're an

1271
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 20: example of that. Who are the commentators, the radio hosts,

1272
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 20: the TV pundits, who have been saying the same thing

1273
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 20: all the way, going all the way back to the

1274
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 20: early two thousands and are staying consistent and listen to

1275
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 20: those folks. A lot of these new people, I feel like,

1276
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 20: are just grabbing whatever headline they want to grab that

1277
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,680
Speaker 20: they think we'll get them more followers, and it's not

1278
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 20: a good thing. And I think we're seeing so much

1279
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 20: fracturing right now amongst the magabase and I really really

1280
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 20: hope that we solved this quickly to get to get

1281
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 20: back to focusing on the enemy. And that's the radical left.

1282
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: That's it, all right, Luke symbol always good seeing you.

1283
01:10:59,080 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 20: Good to see it's top.

1284
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 3: Thanks for having folks.

1285
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 2: Got to take a break. We'll be right back. There's

1286
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 2: a weird story and somewhat disturbing story out of the

1287
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: Washington Post. There is a military base right outside of Washington,

1288
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 2: d C. This is Fort McNair, and this is where

1289
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 2: they're housing a lot of the White House Cabinet secretaries.

1290
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 2: Here's something you don't hear a lot of in the media.

1291
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 2: These guys are getting constant death threats, and not just

1292
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 2: from Americans but from foreign sources as well. So Secretary

1293
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 2: of State Marco Rubio Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and among others,

1294
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 2: actually live on the military base. The Army base there

1295
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. This is coming from the Washington Post.

1296
01:11:54,680 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 2: US officials detected unidentified drones above the Army base. This

1297
01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 2: is according to three people briefed on the situation. Officials

1298
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 2: have not determined where they came from. The military is

1299
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 2: monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert

1300
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 2: level as the United States and Israel strike Iran. Multiple

1301
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 2: drones were spotted over Fort McNair on a single night

1302
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 2: in the last ten days. It prompted to increase security

1303
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 2: measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss

1304
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 2: how to respond. The drone signings in Washington come as

1305
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 2: the US issued a global security alert for overseas diplomatic

1306
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 2: post and lockdown several domestic bases because of threats. This week,

1307
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 2: Joint based McGuire, Dix, Lakehurst and New Jersey lockdown. McDill

1308
01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:50,639
Speaker 2: Air Force Base in Florida raised Air Force Protection level

1309
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,839
Speaker 2: to Charlie, a designation that means the commander has intel

1310
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:59,759
Speaker 2: indicating an attack or danger is possible. The only higher

1311
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 2: alert level is Delta, for when an attack has occurred

1312
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 2: or is anticipated. The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials

1313
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: to weigh relocating Secretary Rubio and hag Seth. The senior

1314
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 2: administration officials says the secretaries have not moved. Their quarters

1315
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 2: on the base were publicly reported by multiple outlets in October. Also,

1316
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 2: the Pentagon is refusing to comment on the matter. And look,

1317
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 2: I get that. I don't blame them. They're trying to

1318
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: figure out what the heck is going on. But this

1319
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 2: is disturbing because we do know that the Iranians have

1320
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,879
Speaker 2: access to these drones. They've got sleeper cells here in America,

1321
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:45,400
Speaker 2: and maybe, just maybe they're trying things out here to

1322
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 2: see exactly how close they can get to the military base.

1323
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 2: But that is a crazy story. Also, you folks at

1324
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 2: in Memphis listening to us on KWAM, we just got

1325
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:01,879
Speaker 2: word that there is some sort of a suspicious device

1326
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 2: at the airport and they have shut down a lot

1327
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: of the roadways, at least inbound into the airport terminal.

1328
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 2: So some sort of a suspicious item. Now this is

1329
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 2: a big deal because Memphis International is a major air

1330
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 2: hub with FedEx the world headquarters here, so you have

1331
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of air travel, a lot

1332
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,799
Speaker 2: of air traffic in and out of Memphis. But airport

1333
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 2: police have at least temporarily closed the inbound terminal road

1334
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,720
Speaker 2: so they can figure out whatever this suspicious item is.

1335
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 2: This is just again a reminder that there are a

1336
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 2: lot of bad people in this world that want to

1337
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 2: do us harm. So we'll keep you updated. And you

1338
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,720
Speaker 2: folks in Memphis listen to KWAM and they'll keep you

1339
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 2: updated as well. All right, nine oh one two six

Speaker 2: zero five nine two six our telephone number, that's nine

1342
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna tell you all about half Roman.

1343
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1344
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1345
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 5: That's American to start.

1346
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 2: And Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio Program.

1347
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 2: What an honor to have you with us today. We've

1348
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: been waiting to talk about the story all all afternoon.

1349
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 2: There's there's a guy named Afroman. He is a ramper

1350
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:09,800
Speaker 2: from Ohio. You know it's interesting, Dylan the guy. The

1351
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 2: guy actually has been nominated for a Grammy.

1352
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:16,720
Speaker 3: Wow. I'm not surprised based off of what what I've

1353
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 3: heard so far.

1354
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 2: He's very clever with the words. Many of them were

1355
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,280
Speaker 2: not allowed to repeat on the radio unfortunately. Yeah, yeah,

1356
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 2: but they're very catchy tunes. So Afroman lives in Ohio.

1357
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 2: His real name is Joseph Foreman, and he got himself

1358
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 2: into well a little bit of trouble. And I want

1359
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,760
Speaker 2: to set this this story up as best I can

1360
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 2: because it's so darn funny, but it's also there's there's

1361
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 2: really a lesson for all of us to be to

1362
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 2: learn here. So according to the complaint, four deputies were

1363
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 2: acting on a search warrant when they rated mister Foreman's

1364
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 2: residence in Winchester, Ohio. All of this happened back into

1365
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 2: one the warrant, this is pretty serious stuff, was for

1366
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 2: kidnapping and drug trafficking. Those were the reasons that they

1367
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 2: gave the judge for the search. But it turns out

1368
01:17:15,200 --> 01:17:18,080
Speaker 2: that he didn't have any drugs and he didn't kidnap anybody.

1369
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,799
Speaker 2: And mister Foreman was not at home when the police

1370
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 2: raided his house. But they have a security camera. You know,

1371
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 2: a lot of houses have security cameras these days. By

1372
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 2: the way, the battery in ours needs to be replaced,

1373
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 2: just FYI. And so anyway, so the guy had this

1374
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 2: security camera. His wife was had her cell phone and

1375
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 2: she was there and she recorded the faces and the

1376
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 2: bodies of the police officers while they were on the property.

1377
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: They literally knocked, they broke, they broke and destroyed the

1378
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 2: guy's gate, and then they broke the front door down.

1379
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 2: It was terrible. So anyway, it turns out that it

1380
01:17:57,880 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 2: was all for nothing because there was nothing. There were

1381
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 2: no charges filed, and the police just went on their way.

1382
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,800
Speaker 2: So Afroman is saying, hey, well wait a second, you people,

1383
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 2: you people broke into my home. You caused all this

1384
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 2: damage and destruction. You're gonna have to pay for this.

1385
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 2: And the police department refused to do so. They said

1386
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: they were under no obligation to repair any of the

1387
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 2: damage they had caused during this this search. So Afroman's

1388
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 2: you know, sat down and the guy, he's an entertainer,

1389
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 2: he's an entrepreneur, and he thought to himself, you know,

1390
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 2: I got to figure out a way to they're not

1391
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 2: going to reimburse me. I got to pay for all

1392
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 2: this damage. So he decided to write some songs based

1393
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 2: on the video footage of the police officers breaking into

1394
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 2: his home, and it was pretty spectacular. As a matter

1395
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: of fact, there was one of the officers who a

1396
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 2: little on the heavy side, and I guess there was.

1397
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 2: As they were walking into the kitchen and all this

1398
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 2: is on video. They're walking into the kitchen. Afroman's mother

1399
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 2: is a renowned baker and she made a delicious lemon

1400
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 2: pound cake. Tasty. The lemon pound cake was on the counter,

1401
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 2: and as the deputies are searching the home, the big

1402
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: fat deputy walks by, walks past the lemon pound cake

1403
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 2: and then apparently catches a whiff of the cake because

1404
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 2: he turns around and stares at the pound cake. That

1405
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 2: led Afroman to write a song and he produced a

1406
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 2: music video featuring the images I just described to you

1407
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 2: to a song that he wrote himself. Take a listen

1408
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,280
Speaker 2: to lemon pound Cake.

1409
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 5: The Adams County Sheriff kick down my door. Then I

1410
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 5: heard the glass spray. They found no kidnapping victims, just

1411
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 5: some limon pound Mama's living pound. Okay, it takes so nice.

1412
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 5: It made the sheriff want to put down his gun

1413
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 5: and cut him a slide.

1414
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 8: You what.

01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 2: He's a fat one.

1421
01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 5: He was sniffing for a weed. Then he smelled another spin.

1422
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 5: What was that? Mama's liming? He pound okay? If they

Speaker 2: We probably got to ramp it up, but you get

1431
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 2: the gist of it. So he also wrote another song

1432
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 2: called will You help Me Repair My Door? And it

1433
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 2: turns out though that the pound cake song, I guess

1434
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 2: got five almost five and a half million views on

1435
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 2: TikTok Dylan and he started selling all this merch featuring

1436
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 2: the faces of all these deputies that caused all this

1437
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 2: damage to his own.

1438
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 3: I love this guy. He's so descriptive. I love his

1439
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 3: songs are just exactly what happened.

1440
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 2: He looks just like Cedric the entertainer has the but

1441
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 2: he's got like a giant fro, and he's wearing a

1442
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 2: patriotic suit, like with American flags all over it.

1443
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,679
Speaker 3: Every single piece of the suit is an American flag.

1444
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:45,680
Speaker 12: It is.

1445
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 2: It's brilliant. So I think this is hilarious. Well, it

1446
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:54,520
Speaker 2: turns out that the officers did not think it was hilarious,

1447
01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,560
Speaker 2: and they filed a lawsuit against this guy. This is

1448
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,679
Speaker 2: what it was so insane about all of this, Dylan,

1449
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 2: is that these officers caused all the damage. They refuse

1450
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 2: to repair the damage, and so when this guy goes

1451
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,560
Speaker 2: out there and uses the video from his own cameras

1452
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 2: and tries to make money to repair the damage, they

1453
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 2: haul his butt to court. Now the let's see here,

1454
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 2: all right, cut number twenty three. Please, this is the

1455
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 2: I believe the lawyer suing afro Man, And you're gonna

1456
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 2: be able to hear Afroman's speaking voice.

1457
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 8: What they did searching your house gave you the right

1458
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 8: to do everything you know.

1459
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,479
Speaker 12: Under a circumstance that I got freedom of speech after

1460
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 12: they run around my house with guns and kick down

1461
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 12: my door, I got the right to kick a can

1462
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 12: in my backyard. Use my freedom of speech turn my

1463
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 12: bad times into a good time.

1464
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:50,160
Speaker 5: Yes, I do.

1465
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,639
Speaker 12: And I think I'm a sport for dealing so because

1466
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 12: I don't go to their house, kick down their doors,

1467
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 12: flip them off on their surveillance cameras, then try to

1468
01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,080
Speaker 12: play the victim and sue them.

1469

01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 5: Knew I was upset.

1481
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 12: And when she was standing in front of my kids

1482
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,559
Speaker 12: with AR fifteen, with her hand around the trigger, ready

1483
01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 12: to shoot me, just like she knew I was upset

1484
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 12: when she cut my cameras, but I'm not a person

1485
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 12: she is, So I'm sorry it could be in the victim.

1486
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 12: Let's talk about the predators.

1487
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 2: Okay.

1488
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 8: So you saw all that, You saw how upset she was.

1489
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:57,840
Speaker 8: You heard the testimony about her children, You heard the

1490
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 8: testimony at the depositions, Randy Newland's daughter who came home upset.

1491
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 8: You heard all that, but you're still posting stuff about it.

1492
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, because I understand it was Randy's fault and all

1493
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:10,560
Speaker 12: of their fault for coming in my house in the

1494
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,040
Speaker 12: first place. So if they hadn't came to my house,

1495
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 12: their children wouldn't be saying nothing, None of this would

1496
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,959
Speaker 12: be going home if they had a did their research

1497
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 12: and did things right. So all of this is their fault,

1498
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:25,799
Speaker 12: and now they want to sue me for their mistake.

1499
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 8: Is there anything that could change your mind about what

1500
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 8: you're doing to these deputies?

1501
01:25:33,880 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 12: Is there anything that can change my mind about the

1502
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:37,560
Speaker 12: fact that they shouldn't have been at my house in

1503
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,120
Speaker 12: the first place. Is there anything that can change my

1504
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 12: mind about how my money shouldn't have been touched in

1505
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 12: the first place.

1506
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 8: No, that's all the questions I have thank.

1507
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 12: You, you're welcome.

1508
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 6: Oh jeez.

1509
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. So the allegation is that they also confiscated

1510
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,720
Speaker 2: like thousands of dollars in cash, and then when he

1511
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 2: got it back, he was missing four hundred bucks. He

1512
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 2: was four hundred bucks short. So so the cops ended

1513
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:08,439
Speaker 2: up saying, oh, by the way, so they're calling that.

1514
01:26:08,560 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 2: They're calling the fat cop. Now Lemon pound cake. So

1515
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 2: the guys out of patrol and they're like, hey, it's

1516
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 2: Lemon pound Cake. And it turns out Dylan. They interviewed

1517
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 2: the guy. He was he was on the witness stand

1518
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 2: Lemon pound cake, and he said. The guy said, they're

1519
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: sending me hundreds of pound cakes. Hundreds of pound cakes. Wow,

1520
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 2: what was the other song? So, oh, the other song?

1521
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 3: You wrote it?

1522
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 2: There's a female deputy and wrote a song about how

1523
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 2: she's a lesbian. Yeah, pretty many. You can't say the title,

1524
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 2: but it's very clever play on words. I'm sorry. So anyway,

1525
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 2: this is all going to court and it's like that

1526
01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 2: they made them. This was what the funniest part is

1527
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: they played all of the music videos in the court,

1528
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 2: so all of these deputies had to be like re

1529
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 2: triggered by all of this. So the deputies were suing

1530
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:15,880
Speaker 2: and they said that Afroman caused them humiliation in the

1531
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 2: in the music videos, and they wanted money for mental distress.

1532
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 2: And the verdict, the verdict came out yesterday afternoon, and

1533
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you what the ver I'm

1534
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 2: gonna let you guess what the verdict was. And this

1535
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 2: is Afroman. Immediately after the verdict was rendered, we did

1536
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 2: an America.

1537
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:46,640
Speaker 12: We did it, God bless America.

1538
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 14: Yep.

1539
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 2: He was pretty fired up this small Ohio town. Can

1540
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 2: you imagine. So now all these people are gonna be there.

1541
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna live in infamy. But it turns

1542
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 2: out that some of these cops turned out to be

1543
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 2: really bad dudes, and we're not gonna get to those

1544
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 2: that side of the story. But again, the idea here

1545
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 2: that cops can just smash into your home, tear up

1546
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 2: your house and like, oh, oops are bad, and then

1547
01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 2: you don't get any recourse and then the cops turn

1548
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 2: around and sue you. I say, good for Afroman.

1549
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 3: This is the biggest win that we've ever seen. I think, Wow,

1550
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 3: this is better than March madness. This is better than anything.

1551
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 2: He's got a lovely singing voice. You're kind of like

1552
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 2: Isaac Kay's. Yeah, it's very good. Anyway, he's literally gone viral.

1553
01:28:46,360 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 2: You gotta go watch the pound cake video. It is

1554
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 2: so funny. Lemon pound cake. All right, gotta take a break.

1555
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:55,679
Speaker 2: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1556
01:28:56,040 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 2: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back everybody.

1557
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,200
Speaker 2: This is the Ton Stearns Radio Show. So we're going

1558
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 2: a bit viral. NBC News, The Hill, Media, eight, The

1559
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 2: New York Times. I told you, folks, a lot of

1560
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 2: people listen to this program, and I know that it's

1561
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people think, no, it's just radio. No, no,

1562
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 2: in all seriousness. So anyway, yesterday we have Michelle Tafoya

1563
01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 2: on former ESPN sideline reporter. Now she's running for the

1564
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,960
Speaker 2: US Senate in Minnesota, and I brought up the gas

1565
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 2: prices and you know, gas prices are going up. How

1566
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,040
Speaker 2: did she you know, how do you respond to that?

1567
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 2: What do you tell? What do you tell Americans who

1568
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:54,479
Speaker 2: are really frustrated? Was it eight dollars a gallon right

1569
01:29:54,520 --> 01:30:01,480
Speaker 2: now in Los Angeles? Insane? And she said that it's frustrating,

1570
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:04,800
Speaker 2: But she said that all of you mega people just

1571
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 2: kind of need to keep a stiff upper lip, and

1572
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 2: maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks so that

1573
01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 2: gas goes a little further until this thing is over

1574
01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 2: and these gas prices come back down again. And then

1575
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,760
Speaker 2: she said, you know, let's try to be patriots about this.

1576
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:26,320
Speaker 2: So it's your patriotic duty to set aside the Starbucks

1577
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:28,720
Speaker 2: so you have money to buy gasoline.

1578
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:31,040
Speaker 8: And it is.

1579
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 2: It's getting a lot of play out there. I'm not

1580
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 2: sure that's going the way she necessarily thought that was

1581
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,519
Speaker 2: going to go, but there you go. Nine oh one

1582
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:43,720
Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six. Let me ask

1583
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: you a question about that, though. Let's just say for

1584
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 2: the sake of the argument here, let's just say it's

1585
01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:55,800
Speaker 2: May or June. Gas prices are still very high. We

1586
01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 2: actually have boots on the ground in Iraq. Prices are

1587
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 2: not going down. Does that impact whether or not you

1588
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 2: vote in the midterm elections? You know, a lot of

1589
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 2: the midterms is which party is more motivated to get

1590
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 2: their people out to the polls. Would that be a

1591
01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 2: motivating factor for the Democrats or Conservatives Republicans? Would you

1592
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 2: still be willing to go to the polls because right

1593
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 2: now and I get a lot of been getting a

1594
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 2: lot of hate mail lately, and the hate mail goes

1595
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:32,520
Speaker 2: something like this, Todd, you're a Pannican. Everybody knows Republicans

1596
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 2: don't vote in primaries. Well why not? Why don't Republicans

1597
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 2: vote in primaries? Maybe that's one of the reasons why

1598
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 2: we have crap candidates in the general. Maybe if we

1599
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 2: and everybody saying calm down, calm down, everybody's going to

1600
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 2: get out there and they're going to go and vote

1601
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 2: in the midterms in November. But we Republicans just don't

1602
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 2: do primaries. I'm not buying that argument.

1603
01:31:58,240 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 3: I'm not.

1604
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 2: I think that the Republicans right now have a mojo issue.

1605
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:10,960
Speaker 2: We've lost the big b by the way. We got

1606
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 2: to get the big mo back. The question is, though

1607
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 2: there may be circumstances involved here, Well we can't get

1608
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 2: the big mo back. I mean, you heard Luke Cymbol,

1609
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:26,200
Speaker 2: who is a millennial a Republican. You heard him say

1610
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 2: that a lot of people within his age group they're

1611
01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:31,560
Speaker 2: just really not sold on this war right now. And

1612
01:32:31,640 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 2: if you put boots on the ground, I mean, it's

1613
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 2: one thing. If you're flying jets and doing all it's

1614
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 2: one thing. If that's the war. But if we're talking

1615
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:42,000
Speaker 2: about putting literal boots on the ground, I think you're

1616
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 2: going to have a lot of people on the Republican

1617
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 2: side of the aisle running away from the president. And

1618
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 2: I hope that doesn't happen, but it may be in

1619
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 2: a situation where we there's no other way. On that note,

1620
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:59,439
Speaker 2: Fox newses Trey Lengths, he's their guy out there in

1621
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,639
Speaker 2: tel Avision. He says, this war is far from over.

1622
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 2: That they're still getting they're still getting shell act over there.

1623
01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 2: So anyway, just something to just something to consider as

1624
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 2: we as we go along here, and it's we got

1625
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,280
Speaker 2: to start paying attention to these things. Folks, got to

1626
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 2: start paying attention.

1627
01:33:19,560 --> 01:33:19,920

Speaker 2: All right, gotta take a break, we'll be right back,

1636
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 2: all right, Welcome back to the Ton Stars radio show. Well,

1637
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,680
Speaker 2: earlier this week, Senator Tommy Tubberville and I sort of

1638
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 2: caused a few viral moments on the TV. The Senator

1639
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 2: has been very outspoken about the threat that radical Islam

1640
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 2: poses to the United States of America, and I mean,

1641
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 2: what are you're saying is absolutely true. There is a

1642
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 2: headline that was just posted moments ago in the Washington

1643
01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:37,560
Speaker 2: Post Republicans are ramping up attacks on Muslims and getting rewarded.

1644
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 2: And there's a big photograph of Senator Tumberville, who happens

1645
01:34:41,960 --> 01:34:44,840
Speaker 2: to be on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, Senator, good

1646
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,120
Speaker 2: to have you back with us today.

1647
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 4: I had sen that were you next to me in No.

1648
01:34:51,280 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 2: You were you were solo in an elevator.

1649
01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,400
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. You know, at least people are starting

1650
01:34:59,439 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 4: this here, and that is my main objective, is the

1651
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 4: way people up. They got to wake up to what's

1652
01:35:05,800 --> 01:35:09,719
Speaker 4: going on in this country. We have the greatest country

1653
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 4: ever for the simple fact that we have one set

1654
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,840
Speaker 4: of laws, we have moral values. We were built on

1655
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 4: Judo Christian values, and we're not going to let somebody

1656
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,640
Speaker 4: from third world country come in. It's gonna change it all.

1657
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 4: I mean, we can't let it do that. And they

1658
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 4: are five million strong, building mosque after mosque all over

1659
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 4: the country. And it is only a short period of

1660
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 4: time where we look like Europe, which, by the way,

1661
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 4: Europe to get their countries back, they're going to fight

1662
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 4: in the streets. So we don't want our kids and

1663
01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 4: grandkids to have.

1664
01:35:39,200 --> 01:35:39,560
Speaker 14: To do that.

1665
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 2: No, we don't. As a matter of fact, earlier on

1666
01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:44,760
Speaker 2: in the show, we had doctor John Lott with us

1667
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:47,720
Speaker 2: and he's written a really terrific piece in real clear

1668
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 2: politics talking about this very threat and he actually ran

1669
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 2: the numbers. Because Biden and the former FBI director Chris Ray,

1670
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 2: they said that white supremacist were the primary domestic threat.

1671
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 2: But according to John Lott, they looked at the numbers

1672
01:36:04,280 --> 01:36:06,800
Speaker 2: and it was very clear that people from the Middle

1673
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 2: East now living in America are the greater threat to

1674
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 2: the nation.

1675
01:36:12,040 --> 01:36:14,720
Speaker 4: Oh, there's no doubt. And you know, we've always had

1676
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 4: our problems here, but we've worked those differences out and

1677
01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:20,400
Speaker 4: no matter who they are, the differences we've had in

1678
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 4: this country is people still love the country. They love it,

1679
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 4: they love the way it's run. They love religious or

1680
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:32,240
Speaker 4: religious beliefs, you know, God and in the Constitution.

1681
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 8: Uh.

1682
01:36:33,439 --> 01:36:37,599
Speaker 4: But this group totally does not want appeasement. They don't

1683
01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 4: want anything to do with America. They want to bring

1684
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,800
Speaker 4: America for their level. And again we're not We're not

1685
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 4: going to do that.

1686
01:36:43,479 --> 01:36:43,640
Speaker 14: You know.

1687
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,920
Speaker 4: The Krean it's you know, you read it, and it's

1688
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:53,160
Speaker 4: clear they command all infidels, which are included Christian Americans, Uh,

1689
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 4: be attacked, be killed. I mean at the bottom line.

1690
01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's in black and white. And we

1691
01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 4: cannot allow people to preach this on the streets of

1692
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,719
Speaker 4: this country because what we have, we have a bunch

1693
01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:08,320
Speaker 4: of kids that are all confused right now in a

1694
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 4: lot of different ways, or they sut this into their

1695
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 4: brain and a heartbeat, because I don't know whether a

1696
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 4: lot of these kids really like our country after coming

1697
01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 4: out of center of.

1698
01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 7: Our some of our.

1699
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,519
Speaker 4: Institutions, educational institution, especially in the Northeast, I don't know

1700
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 4: where they stand. But we cannot allow this to also

1701
01:37:26,479 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 4: take effect because it'd be a tough road for all

1702
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,960
Speaker 4: of us to hold if we continue to let this happen.

1703
01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 2: It's really alarming when I see what's happening, especially in

1704
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:42,439
Speaker 2: the United Kingdom where the Islamists are just completely taking

1705
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 2: over and it's just really shocking to see how quickly

1706
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 2: the British tradition is falling. And I don't want that

1707
01:37:49,960 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 2: to happen here. I know you don't want that to

1708
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 2: happen here. What steps do you recommend be taking. I know,

1709
01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 2: Congressman and the Ogoles wants to deport all Muslims. I

1710
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,680
Speaker 2: don't see that happening. Or you know, where do you

1711
01:38:00,880 --> 01:38:03,639
Speaker 2: start here to address the issue.

1712
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,880
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, we banned Sharia law UH, and

1713
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 4: anybody that's elected in this country, UH should not be

1714
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 4: even close to the Koran or Sharia law because it

1715
01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:20,679
Speaker 4: preaches death to Americans. I mean, what kind of idiot

1716
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:23,000
Speaker 4: would in this country would vote for somebody to be

1717
01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 4: in Congress or the Senate, or of school board or

1718
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,759
Speaker 4: anything that has to do with authority if they believe

1719
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,719
Speaker 4: that they're not going to stimilate at all. Now let's

1720
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 4: go back to what you said earlier. I'm not against Muslim.

1721
01:38:35,840 --> 01:38:38,280
Speaker 4: I've got friends that are Moslim, but some of them

1722
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 4: are Christians, some of them are atheists. They don't believe

1723
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 4: some of them don't believe in anything, but they damn

1724
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 4: sure don't believe in studying and teaching Sharia law and

1725
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 4: going by the Koran. They love this country, and so

1726
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 4: that's what I'm talking about. I'm not this is not

1727
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 4: against Muslim. This is about people that want to destroy

1728
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 4: the United States of America like they have destroyed, and

1729
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:02,479
Speaker 4: we can't allow that to happen. So we need to

1730
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 4: wake the heck up.

1731
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:09,559
Speaker 2: Senator Tommy Tumberville on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker Line today. Senator,

1732
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 2: when you look at what's happening in Iran right now,

1733
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:15,439
Speaker 2: there's a lot of a lot of chatter about this

1734
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 2: nineteen year old champion wrestler executed by Iran in a

1735
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:26,600
Speaker 2: public hanging. He was executed because he showed opposition to

1736
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:30,599
Speaker 2: the Ayatola. I mean, this really does define the evil

1737
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:32,559
Speaker 2: that we are dealing with over there.

1738
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the same people that are here now.

1739
01:39:37,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they believe in the same thing. You's to

1740
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:40,960
Speaker 4: real all. They believe in the Kouran, they believe in

1741
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:44,400
Speaker 4: you know, if you're in Infidel somebody that doesn't believe

1742
01:39:44,479 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 4: in in the Muslim bait you should you should die.

1743
01:39:48,200 --> 01:39:50,280
Speaker 4: And of course they took it that this kid was

1744
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:54,080
Speaker 4: against whoever Coolami or whatever his name is, and they

1745
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 4: put him to death. And that's one of the reasons

1746
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 4: that President Trump said enough enough, after they killed about

1747
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 4: thirty the thirty five thousand of their own people, and

1748
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 4: President Trump says, now, we're not gonna allow this happen anymore.

1749
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 4: We're going in. We're gonna help the Iranian people. And

1750
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:11,599
Speaker 4: everybody's kind of wondering. Now, I spent yesterday all day, Yes,

1751
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:16,240
Speaker 4: they were, President Trump one to Delaware to the bringing

1752
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 4: back the young men and women that died in the

1753
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 4: airplane crash over in Iraq. And basically he understands it too.

1754
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,880
Speaker 4: He understands it. Hey, this is our only chance. If

1755
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 4: we're gonna get this over with, and if we're gonna

1756
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 4: knock out terrorism, the like blood of terrorism, which is Iran,

1757
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 4: this is our time. This is the only time, Todds,

1758
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 4: you and I, President Trump, and everybody our age and

1759
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 4: a lot even younger than us, we're gonna have a

1760
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:45,639
Speaker 4: chance to put a stop of this nonsense. And so well,

1761
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 4: you know, we believe in America first, and we believe

1762
01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 4: in the sanctity of life, we believe in in God,

1763
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,600
Speaker 4: we believe in our country. But if we can and

1764
01:40:57,240 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 4: need to help other people. We're doing and that's what

1765
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 4: President I'm doing in Iran.

1766
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 2: Senator, I know a lot of people trying to get

1767
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,759
Speaker 2: down to the beautiful redneck ravi era along the Gulf

1768
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 2: of America for spring break, and most of them are

1769
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 2: stuck in Atlanta right now.

1770
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 5: Uh.

1771
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:16,400
Speaker 2: The lines are just insane. And the the Democrats, I'm

1772
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 2: not you know, I hope, I hope Republicans are doing

1773
01:41:20,120 --> 01:41:24,520
Speaker 2: ad campaigns and reminding all these spring breakers who's responsible

1774
01:41:24,600 --> 01:41:25,720
Speaker 2: for their misery right now?

1775
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,640
Speaker 4: Right now? Yeah, And don't think we're not reminded them.

1776
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,120
Speaker 4: And I want to say this. You know, we've talked

1777
01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 4: with some Democrats on the floor and a lot of

1778
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:37,120
Speaker 4: them didn't realize that that what what the White White

1779
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 4: House has come to some concessions about DHS over the

1780
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,599
Speaker 4: last week or so. Chuck Schumer is not even given

1781
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 4: those concessions to his caucus. They're going what we didn't

1782
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:52,800
Speaker 4: know that happened. Chuck Schumer is behind this Nazi. He

1783
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 4: is blocking the American people from being safe, having TSA agents,

1784
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 4: shorter lines at airport, having a coach guard that's funded,

1785
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:05,280
Speaker 4: having FEMA that funded, It's all on Chuck Schumer. He

1786
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,439
Speaker 4: has lied to his caucus. He has held them hostage

1787
01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 4: and now they're finding out, well, guess what. In the

1788
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:13,640
Speaker 4: last few hours a group of them have gone over

1789
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 4: to meet with Tom Holman and some congressional group from

1790
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 4: US and I think they're working things out now. That

1791
01:42:19,840 --> 01:42:22,400
Speaker 4: might not be the next day or so. But like

1792
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:24,840
Speaker 4: I've told our caucus, we don't need to go home

1793
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 4: again to this gover with. We need to let the

1794
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:29,720
Speaker 4: Democrats know this has on you, the American people, and

1795
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 4: we're going to stay here. Do we get this fixed.

1796
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 4: But Chuck Schumer is the one that's behind all this nonsense.

1797
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:39,920
Speaker 4: He's playing politics, not policy, and we need to get

1798
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 4: this over with and help the American people. It is

1799
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 4: absolute nonsense. And you said, this is travel season, this

1800
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 4: is vacation season. Bring break. What the heck are they

1801
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,640
Speaker 4: trying to prove when they're trying to make everything unsafe

1802
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 4: and everything that they're trying to do to travel across

1803
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 4: this country.

1804
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,360
Speaker 2: It's a great point. Before we let you go, Congressman,

1805
01:42:58,439 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 2: can you give us any update on the Save America Act?

1806
01:43:01,360 --> 01:43:04,600
Speaker 2: Is At this point, I think we almost had to

1807
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 2: be realistic here, is it really? Is there any chance

1808
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:09,639
Speaker 2: at all that this thing gets through the Senate.

1809
01:43:11,120 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 4: We're still working at it, but very little chance, simple

1810
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:15,760
Speaker 4: for the fact we can't get fifty one votes out

1811
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 4: of the Repubblicans, much less get the seven more votes

1812
01:43:18,600 --> 01:43:21,120
Speaker 4: we would need if all the Democrats or Republicans voted

1813
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,719
Speaker 4: for it. Now, we're gonna be here all the day today, tonight,

1814
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 4: all day tomorrow, We're going to stay and vote on

1815
01:43:28,880 --> 01:43:33,320
Speaker 4: Saturday Sunday. We're gonna try to get something doneant it

1816
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 4: ain't working.

1817
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:38,479
Speaker 2: No, I know I and I appreciate. I appreciate the

1818
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:41,320
Speaker 2: honesty there is, and I want to make sure something.

1819
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 2: I was listening to a podcast yesterday and they said,

1820
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 2: even if even if you guys do the talking fellowbuster

1821
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 2: to invoke cloture, you still have to have sixty votes.

1822
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:50,920
Speaker 3: Is that right?

1823
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 4: No, that's fifty one vote.

1824
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:55,040
Speaker 7: We don't have them.

1825
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:58,240
Speaker 4: It's just not there. You know, you've got four or five.

1826
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 4: The story said they wouldn't vote for it, and so

1827
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:04,599
Speaker 4: we're really not doing a talking filibuster. We're just trying

1828
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:07,879
Speaker 4: to put pressure on the Democrats to prove the American

1829
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,040
Speaker 4: people that they're absolutely against this country the way it

1830
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,120
Speaker 4: is and they won't Basically, illegals the vote in every election,

1831
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:16,680
Speaker 4: and you wouldn't do it for any other reason. So,

1832
01:44:17,920 --> 01:44:21,360
Speaker 4: as you and I talked about the other day, eighty

1833
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 4: percent of the Republicans across this country won't voter ID

1834
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 4: teventy five percent or so the Democrat. It's an issue

1835
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 4: that everybody almost agrees on. Everybody but Chuck Schumer. That's

1836
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:36,759
Speaker 4: absolutely amazed in the met he's holding the country. Chuck Schumer,

1837
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,360
Speaker 4: all he would have to do today is say, all right,

1838
01:44:39,439 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 4: let's vote for this, Let's do what's right for the

1839
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:44,880
Speaker 4: American people. Let's vote for the DHS funding. Let's do

1840
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 4: what's right for the American people. He is holding the

1841
01:44:47,600 --> 01:44:51,360
Speaker 4: country hostage, and he should be punished for it. He

1842
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,559
Speaker 4: is a He is a crook. He is a guy

1843
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 4: that absolutely does not like this country. All he likes

1844
01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 4: is power and the enough is enough of this guy.

1845
01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:06,120
Speaker 4: And you know he hates President Trump. And I don't

1846
01:45:06,160 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 4: know what group he's got behind him, but they're not

1847
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 4: a good group, and they're not a group that loves

1848
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 4: this country. He needs to react to the American people

1849
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:15,720
Speaker 4: and not to the lobbyist that he beholds too.

1850
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:20,360
Speaker 2: All right, well said Senator, Always always good talking to you.

1851
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 2: We got to leave it there, but we sure sure

1852
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 2: to appreciate you coming on the show as always a.

1853
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 4: Thank you, have a good weekend, God bless you, and

1854
01:45:28,840 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 4: maybe we can get something done the next few days.

1855
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:34,480
Speaker 2: Let's let's let's hope. So all right, Senator Tommy Tummerville,

1856
01:45:34,479 --> 01:45:39,599
Speaker 2: everybody on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line. So we'll we'll

1857
01:45:39,680 --> 01:45:41,560
Speaker 2: keep you updated. But again, I don't want you to

1858
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,639
Speaker 2: get your hopes up because as you heard the Senator,

1859
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 2: he said, he pretty much said, it's not probably gonna happen.

1860
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 2: Just put that out there, all right. Nine oh one

1861
01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:55,679
Speaker 2: two six zero five nine two six are a telephone number.

1862
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 2: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1863
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 2: Coming up tonight, we have Congresswoman Beth van Dine joining us.

1864
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:07,280
Speaker 2: Also Kathy Lee Gifford. Our good buddy Harry Hurley will

1865
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:10,080
Speaker 2: be with us. And there's a story out of Pennsylvania

1866
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 2: there was a bus driver who was told he hen

1867
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 2: to remove his maga hat. He refused to do so

1868
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 2: ended up losing his job. We're going to be talking

1869
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 2: to that bus driver and his attorney on the show

1870
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 2: tonight at five o'clock. Meanwhile, I've got to talk to

1871
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 2: you about your Social Security benefits. Are you getting all

1872
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 2: of the benefits that you deserve because seventy percent of

1873
01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 2: Americans are not getting the full benefits they deserve. That

1874
01:46:38,680 --> 01:46:40,840
Speaker 2: thanks to the and by the way, we know that

1875
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:45,519
Speaker 2: information because of Social Security expert Michael Allen. He says

1876
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:48,640
Speaker 2: he's come up with five key strategies for you to

1877
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 2: invest your benefits by as much as one hundred and

1878
01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:54,120
Speaker 2: eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime. And Newsmax wants

1879
01:46:54,200 --> 01:46:57,040
Speaker 2: to give you that report free of charge. All you

1880
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 2: have to do is give us a call eight hundred

1881
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 2: ninety nine to nine ninety ninety. That's one eight hundred

1882
01:47:02,640 --> 01:47:06,599
Speaker 2: ninety six ninety. Whether you're getting benefits or you are

1883
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:10,320
Speaker 2: soon going to get benefits, you need this Social Security

1884
01:47:10,520 --> 01:47:15,639
Speaker 2: report again eight hundred ninety six ninety Text and data

1885
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 2: rates may apply. Dylan a math teacher at a high

1886
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,600
Speaker 2: school in San Francisco, one of the top schools in

1887
01:47:33,720 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Lowell High School. Tom Chan mister Chan math teacher,

1888
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:44,880
Speaker 2: been at the school for twenty years, has now been

1889
01:47:44,920 --> 01:47:50,440
Speaker 2: placed on leave, accused of fat shaming and misogynistic questions

1890
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 2: on student test.

1891
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:57,720
Speaker 3: What did he say one of the I.

1892
01:47:59,280 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 2: Understand it this way. I understand why fat girls pardon me,

1893
01:48:04,439 --> 01:48:07,519
Speaker 2: big bone girl, pardon me, well round, No, that's not good.

1894
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:11,880
Speaker 2: Full figured, full figured, yeah, plus size. I understand why

1895
01:48:11,920 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 2: they would be upset with this, all right, So I

1896
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:18,839
Speaker 2: get that. So I just want to throw that out there. However,

1897
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:21,560
Speaker 2: it's a pretty clever way to teach kids how to

1898
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 2: do math, especially boys. Okay, So here's the quiz. The

1899
01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 2: quiz was based on the relationship between a girl's weight

1900
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 2: and how much it would cost to date her.

1901
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's terrible.

1902
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:42,760
Speaker 2: Right, but but it's very clever, very clever. Okay, So

1903
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 2: here's the question. It's a word problem. The amount of

1904
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 2: money you spend on a date varies inversely to how

1905
01:48:51,080 --> 01:48:54,360
Speaker 2: much they weigh. A typical girl that weighs one hundred

1906
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 2: and twenty pounds will cost you fifty five dollars to date.

1907
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 2: So here's the here's what you have to do. Derive

1908
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:05,280
Speaker 2: the variation equation. How much would you expect to pay

1909
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 2: for a date with Ashley who is two hundred and

1910
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:13,120
Speaker 2: twenty pounds if you can only afford five dollars, how

1911
01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,080
Speaker 2: much would your date weigh? And what is his or

1912
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 2: her name? Wow?

1913
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 3: Oh geez, That's all I have to say is wow.

1914
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,000
Speaker 2: Some of the questions did not appear to have any

1915
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 2: mathematical component. Some parents added like, for example, how tall

1916
01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 2: are you? And how much do you weigh? Pick one

1917
01:49:34,439 --> 01:49:39,120
Speaker 2: pretty or smart? And why? Oh god? Yeah, this is

1918
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 2: getting worse for mister Chan. Sounds like he just you know,

1919
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 2: after twenty years, you're just like, okay, I'm done here.

1920
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 3: He gave up. Yeah. Wow.

1921
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 2: Beyond the quizzes, mister Chan also came under scrutiny for

1922
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 2: YouTube videos that attempt to make math fun. And by

1923
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 2: the way, I think this is what he was probably

1924
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:58,920
Speaker 2: trying to do. But can we just be honest about

1925
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 2: math teachers and show, you know, they're just their humor,

1926
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 2: they're since they're just a smidge off kilter.

1927
01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?

1928
01:50:06,040 --> 01:50:09,719
Speaker 3: You blunt and not. It kind of misses the mark

1929
01:50:09,840 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 3: at certain times.

1930
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:16,479
Speaker 2: A video titled Grades Versus Dignity showed kids performing dances

1931
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 2: turn extra credit to raise their grades. In the most

1932
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 2: recent video, mister Chan wrote in the description kids need

1933
01:50:26,120 --> 01:50:29,880
Speaker 2: an a, so I provide an out. They're buying grades

1934
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,759
Speaker 2: from him by humiliating themselves, said one parent, the kids

1935
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 2: look distressed. I don't know. I think it's all somewhat benign.

1936
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:43,280
Speaker 2: But again, people are very sensitive these days, and what

1937
01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:46,679
Speaker 2: a clever way to make But again, I get it. Ladies,

1938
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:49,000
Speaker 2: you're shaking your head, Dylan, you're not buying this.

1939
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:50,679
Speaker 3: No, this is this is awful.

1940
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:51,760
Speaker 2: Is it that bad?

1941
01:50:51,960 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 3: It's pretty bad. I mean, does he have a question

1942
01:50:55,360 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 3: about guys? Wait too? Is it just the girls?

1943
01:50:59,200 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 8: No?

1944
01:50:59,360 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 2: No, just the girls.

1945
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:02,600
Speaker 3: See, that's that's tough, because you've got to be you know,

1946
01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:04,200
Speaker 3: you've got to be balanced there if you're going to

1947
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:04,920
Speaker 3: do that kind of question.

1948
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 2: I think that's where the misogynistic part comes in.

1949
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1950
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:11,680
Speaker 2: Possibly, the school district said it encouraged students to use

1951
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 2: the see something, Say something reporting system. It does make

1952
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 2: you want I'd be curious to hear from the kids.

1953
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 2: Were the kids really upset about this or what was

1954
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 2: it the parents? Because you know, in San Francisco all

1955
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 2: the parents are going to be lives. Oh of course,

1956
01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:33,800
Speaker 2: of course, so you get some sort of I don't know,

1957
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 2: feminazi and she's looking at their daughter's homework assignment.

1958
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also, I mean think about like high school,

1959
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:43,559
Speaker 3: high school and like the insecurities you have in high school.

1960
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 3: I can see the high school or being pretty upset

1961
01:51:46,520 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 3: about that question.

1962
01:51:47,840 --> 01:51:50,800
Speaker 2: But again, if you're a high school boy and you've

1963
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:52,400
Speaker 2: only got a certain amount of money, you want to

1964
01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 2: be able to do the calculations, you know, so, so

1965
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 2: you you want to do the math.

1966
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:58,479
Speaker 3: I can give you that. I can give you that.

1967
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 3: It's a legitimate concern. I just don't know if it

1968
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 3: should be a question on like a school test.

1969
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 2: Something tells me I'm on the wrong side of this

1970
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 2: story or equation. If you will, all right, Hey, long,

1971
