1
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible, clinging, deplorable America.

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: That's us, that.

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: American. Todd starts, well, yeah, all right, we have a

5
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 3: lot to talk about today. Everybody. Hello, Welcome to the

6
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: Todd Stearns Radio Program. I am your host, Todd Starns,

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: your voice of truth and hope across the fruit had played.

8
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 3: Where do we begin. I've been debating this really for

9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: the past couple of hours, but I wanted to. I

10
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: want to start in with something that happened yesterday did

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: not get a lot of attention in the in the

12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: legacy news and the drive by media, but I believe

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: it's really important to the really the health and well

14
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 3: being of the country. So a Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: you may or may not like. I know that she

16
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: rubs a lot of Republicans the wrong way, a lot

17
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: of Conservatives the wrong way, and I get that. But

18
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: on this one issue, I believe that Congresswoman Mace has

19
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: really hit a home run. So there was an effort

20
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: afoot by the congresswoman to release these files up on

21
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill. Now, many of you may not be aware

22
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: of this, that your tax dollars are being used by

23
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: members of Congress to create a super secret slush fund.

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: And this slush fund, no, don't, no, no, the slush

25
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: fund is not to go buy snacks for the staff.

26
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: That's not what this is all about. This is to

27
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: payoff women and young men to be silent. These are

28
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: victims of sexual abuse and they've filed allegations, filed reports,

29
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: and to keep all of these people quiet, well, they

30
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 3: use this slush fund that was created by and funded

31
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 3: by your tax dollars. We're talking millions and millions of dollars.

32
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: So all of this is coming to life because of

33
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez, who is now in a runoff

34
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: for his congressional seat. So this guy is married, I

35
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: think he's got six kids, and he was shacking up

36
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: with one of his female staffers and it got so

37
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: bad the staffer eventually committed suicide. She literally set herself

38
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 3: on fire. Now we don't know officially why she set

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: herself on fire. This was a huge scandal in Texas.

40
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: Gonzale says he had nothing to do with the woman's death,

41
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 3: but again, he was cheating on his wife with a

42
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: female staffer, and he did not resign. And I find

43
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: it telling that the Republican Party told him, do not resign.

44
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: So the Republican Party is just turning a blind eye

45
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: to this, this scandal. It's a terrible story. So anyway,

46
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: now the House Ethics Committee has opened up an investigation

47
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: to examine whether or not he violated the House's Code

48
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: of Conduct, which, by the way, prohibits sexual relationships with

49
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: stamp So if you're a member of Congress, you can't

50
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: do the boot scoot and boogie with one of your secretaries.

51
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 3: We will see how all of this plays out, but

52
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: it's very possible that Gonzales could return to Congress. I mean,

53
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: if the people of his district say, yeah, we don't

54
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: mind having a philanderer, We don't mind having a guy

55
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: who takes it advantage of women, you know, we don't

56
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: mind having an adulterer a fornicator of representing us in Congress.

57
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: And maybe that's what the good people down there in

58
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: his congressional district want. So anyway, Nancy Mace this week

59
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: forced action on a resolution, and this resolution would have

60
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: compelled the Ethics Panel to release every single report and

61
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: all the material it has on allegations of sexual misconduct

62
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: and harassment among people up on Capitol Hill. And I

63
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: think this is a brilliant idea. But the Republicans and

64
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: the Democrats they freaked out and they shut this thing down.

65
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it was ugly, ugly, and so as it

66
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: now stands, as it now stands, that information will not

67
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: be released to the public. Now, we're going to be

68
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: talking to a congress and a little bit later on

69
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: today who actually voted to keep all of this quiet,

70
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: Congressman John Rose out of Tennessee. And I'm just going

71
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: to ask him point blank, why why is it the

72
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: public has been denied the right to see this information.

73
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: I mean, we're having to pay for it, We're having

74
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: to put the bill for it. So why should we

75
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: not know who the sex fiends and the perverts are

76
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: on Campitol Hill? And I thought it was interesting because

77
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: this had overwhelming bipartisan support. The Democrats and Republicans finally

78
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: agreed on something. Only a handful I think less than

79
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 3: seventy members of Congress actually said, yeah, we've got to

80
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: shine some light on this. And by the way, Congressman

81
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: Tim Burchett, one of those people, now Here's what gets me.

82
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: All of the people that voted to protect their own

83
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: backsides are the same people out there saying, oh, we've

84
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: got to disclose everything about Jeffrey Epstein. Now I'm a

85
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: pretty I'm a pretty common sense guy. I don't take

86
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 3: take talking points from the Republicans, the Democrats, nobody. I

87
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: just this is just my opinion here. But it seems

88
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: to me if you've got these files, whether they be

89
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: on members of Congress or Jeffrey Epstein, I just say,

90
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 3: release everything. Let we're all grown adults. We can all

91
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: handle the truth, and let's find out exactly what's been

92
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: going on among the halls of the powerful in Congress

93
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 3: and also the rich and famous in America who clearly

94
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: live to a different standard and are held to a

95
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: different standard than the average law abiding American citizen. So

96
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 3: I'm curious, do you believe that we ought to release

97
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 3: this information? Should we know? And by the way, do

98
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 3: you have a right to know if the person you

99
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: elected to Congress is chasing around little girls and boys

100
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,799
Speaker 3: upon Capitol Hill? Years ago, there was a huge gas

101
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: involving the male pages in the UH in the Senate.

102
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: It's there's some freaky deeky stuff going on up on.

103
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, uh, nine oh one two six zero

104
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 3: five to nine two six is are a telephone number.

105
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

106
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,119
Speaker 3: Now the other big news here, President Trump is about

107
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: to step in to this Texas Senate race. And I

108
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: want to explain what's going on here. There is there's

109
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: a lot of very.

110
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: There.

111
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: There's a lot of very anxious people right now within

112
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: the Republican world, and they're concerned that we could lose

113
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: this Senate seat in Texas. They're very concerned about James

114
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: Taller Rico. I would almost suggest to you, well, actually,

115
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: I will suggest to you this guy is demonic. James

116
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: tallerco is a blasphemer. This guy is twisting scripturity. He's

117
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: very at it, which is why he is a very

118
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 3: dangerous person. He has a way of twisting scripture to

119
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: try and convince people that, for example, God is non binary,

120
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 3: or that if or if that Jesus is pro abortion.

121
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: I mean, these are the kinds of These are the

122
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: kinds of things this guy is doing. And he's cloaking

123
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: himself in his theology, which is an anti Christ theology.

124
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: Very dangerous guy. Here, and I say he's very dangerous

125
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: because we do not have a very well educated voting

126
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 3: population under the age of I would say forty. It's

127
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: sort of hit or miss, sort of hit a miss.

128
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: So anyway, people are very concerned about what's happening. As

129
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, Carl Rove, mister whiteboard over on

130
00:08:54,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: Fox News suggested that he could actually win. He could

131
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: pull off a wild upset in Texas. So the establishment

132
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: guy is John Cornyn. John Cornyn has always hated Donald Trump.

133
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: He's always opposed Donald Trump. I mean, it's really that simple.

134
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: And Ken Pankston has been the one guy who has

135
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: stood alongside Donald Trump through thick and thin, through it all.

136
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: So Trump is coming in and he put out a

137
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: statement late last night saying, hey, look, here's the deal.

138
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to be endorsing somebody here and whoever doesn't

139
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: get my endorsement has to drop out. My question to you,

140
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: who do you think Trump ought to endorse?

141
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 5: Now?

142
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: The odds on and again here, I'm just I'm sharing

143
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: this as the lay of the land in Texas here,

144
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: but the odds on favorite would be John Cornyn because

145
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: he's the incumbent. However, when you look at the overall

146
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: vote totals, Cornyn only got what forty one point ninety

147
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: two percent of the vote. Is this guy's been in

148
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: office for twenty something years. That tells me that the

149
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: Republicans in Texas are ready for somebody different. But the

150
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: argument from the establishment wing, and I would say this

151
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 3: is coming from the Bushes and the rows, is that

152
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: Kim Paxton cannot win a statewide race. I don't see

153
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: that based on what I based on the numbers. As

154
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, the only thing that would prevent

155
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: a Republican from winning is this is if Republicans don't

156
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: show up to vote. And by the way, you know

157
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: who does that both sides. All of you maga people

158
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: you get butt hurt when you're a Canada doesn't win

159
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: so you stay home, And all you establishment people you

160
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: get butt hurt when you're a candidate. So it's a

161
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 3: big problem. Democrats. They'll go and vote, doesn't matter who

162
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: it is. They'll fight like cats and dogs, but at

163
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: the end of the day, they'll at least go and vote.

164
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: So we've got our own set of issues and we'll

165
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: deal with that story later. But I'm just curious here,

166
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 3: who do you people say, and who should President Trump

167
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: endorse in this race? Now I have a theory, and

168
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: hear me out on this. Things. You are not going

169
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: well in the Justice Department right now, I mean really bad.

170
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, they they quietly, this is

171
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 3: according to CBS NBC New York Times, they have quietly

172
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: shelved the Biden autopen investigation. Now, let me just say

173
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 3: here we are, We're what one year and three months

174
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 3: into President Trump's ternament office. No one has been held

175
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: accountable for anything, and no one will. Trump is really upset.

176
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: He's upset at Pam Bondi. He's also upset at Christy Nome, who,

177
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 3: by the way, testified on Capitol Hill yesterday and she

178
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: was asked a question about her relationship with Corey Lewandowski. Sorry,

179
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: I'm on. I know it feels like a tangent, but

180
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 3: it's really not a tangent, all right, So just bear

181
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 3: with me for a moment here. So she was asked

182
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 3: about Corey Lewandowski that the story is that Christy Nome,

183
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 3: the Secretary of Homeland Security, has been having biblical relations

184
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 3: of an unsavory kind with mister Lewandowski, and it's kind

185
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 3: of weird. He shows up wherever she is, wherever she goes,

186
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 3: he's by her side and it's just weird. So yesterday

187
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: on Capitol Hill she was actually asked about that. Democrats said,

188
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 3: are you are you cheating on your husband with Corey Lundewski.

189
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: She refused to answer that question, and quite frankly, that

190
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: question should have come from a Republican because that needs

191
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: to be resolved. And she was asked multiple times and

192
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: she refused to say yes or no. Seems to me,

193
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: if you're not cheating on your spouse, that would be

194
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 3: a hell no. And who do you think you are?

195
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: And who told you that? Because I'm going to hunt

196
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: him down and I'm going to beat the ever living

197
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: crap out of him. That's the correct response. Christie Nome,

198
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: hair comes up, hoops, come off, We're gonna have a

199
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 3: throwdown now. You Southern ladies, you know exactly what I'm

200
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 3: talking about. If somebody accuses you of something like that,

201
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 3: somebody's somebody's getting getting a punch to the nose. I'm

202
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: just saying. So anyway, all of that to say, how

203
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: does this tie into Texas? Well? If if Nome or

204
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: Bondie get whacked, you could see President Trump offering Kim

205
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: Paxton the ag job. There's also rumblings that we could

206
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: have an opening a vacancy on the Supreme Court. You

207
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: could have Ted Cruz being named the Supreme Court and Trump,

208
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: or at that point, pardon me, the governor of Texas

209
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: could step in and a point Ken Paxton to Ted

210
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: Cruz's open Senate seat. So there are there are different

211
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: puzzle pieces moving around here. But I'm telling you, Maga

212
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: is going to be enraged if Trump doesn't pick. If

213
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: Trump does not pick Ken Pangston, all right, we're going

214
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: to go right to the phones. Nine oh one two

215
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,640

218
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: the world braces for what comes next, and people of

223
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: situation is serious, the threat real. In times like this,

224
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: freedom and faith are not just abstract ideas. They are

Speaker 3: in the city and we are honored, honored by that news.

241
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: So thank you so much for listening to us no

242
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: matter where you are, including in Houston. Let's go to

243
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: the phone. Steve listening to us on Patriot Talk nine

244
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: to twenty. Hi, Steve, what's on your mind?

245
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 6: Hey Todd, I'm enjoy you. And you know, ever since

246
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 6: Donald Trump got elected, I've been wondering. You know, he

247
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 6: campaigned on bringing Hillary to justice. He said she would

248
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 6: be in jail. And with all these Epstein releases, it

249
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: seems like they redacted all the people they want to

250
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 6: protect and they just put the unredacted ones.

251
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 7: It seems that they're.

252
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 6: Trying to throw under the bus. And my main thing

253
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: is I'm wondering. I haven't heard anything about the Podesta

254
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 6: emails since Donald Trump got elected, and that was a

255
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 6: big thing. You know, Hillary was smashing hard drives with

256
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 6: a hammer trying to cover up. And people that have

257
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 6: come out and said what was in those emails make

258
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 6: the Epstein files look like kids play.

259
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: Well the reality Steve where a year and three months

260
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: into the administration and Russia, Russia, Russia. Look at the

261
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: Abiden lamptop story. You've got the Biden the whole Biden

262
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 3: family crime syndicate. You've you've got the Auto pin scandal.

263
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 3: Nobody's being held accountable for anything, right, I.

264
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 6: Mean to me, it seems like every time anything comes

265
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 6: up too something else comes up to take the people's

266
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 6: attention off of what's really going on.

267
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: Well, and that may be it's Steve. I think a

268
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: door is open, by the way I hear the dinging

269
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: in the background. Here's the deal. I do think that

270
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 3: there was massive wrongdoing, and I also believe that the

271
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 3: deep state is real and it is so powerful that

272
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: even Donald Trump will not be able to bring justice

273
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 3: where justice is due. I mean, that's the cold heart reality, Steve.

274
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 3: I got to run. Thank you for that call. Let's

275
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: go to Mike in clear Lake City, Texas. I'm Mike,

276
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: what's on your mind? Hello?

277
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 7: Mindy you kind of got me fired Hello, can you

278
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 7: hear me?

279
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 8: Yep?

280
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: Go for it.

281
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 7: You got me fired up about the Texas race. You're

282
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 7: right Tall Rico is definitely demon possessed. But if he

283
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 7: runs against Corner, he wins. Corner won't beat him because

284
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 7: people in Texas are not going to vote for Corner

285
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 7: any longer. The only way get a Republican in is

286
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 7: if it's Paxton. And if if President Trump endorses John Cornyn,

287
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 7: if Paxton doesn't run, if he bailed, if he steps

288
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 7: aside like Trump wants him to, the turnout won't be

289
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 7: there for Corner. Corner spent seventy million dollars and he

290
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 7: barely got in that only spent four So what I mean,

291
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 7: what does that tell you? The people in Texas have

292
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 7: had it with rhinos and voting for the lesser to evil.

293
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 7: We got rid of Dan Crenshaw, no good globalist rhino

294
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 7: dirt bag. Will do the same with Cornyan because I

295
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 7: know when I go to vote, if it's corning in Tallarico,

296
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 7: I'm just not going to vote in that race.

297
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: Wow. So I'm curious here, Mike, and I've got to

298
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: run to break here, but I am curious how many

299
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: other people in Texas agree with your perspective there. I

300
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: will say this, there have been some reporting out Wesley

301
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: Hunt has yet to throw in behind anybody. The reporting

302
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: is that Susie Wiles from the White House called Hunt

303
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: and told him don't endorse anybody yet. A White House

304
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 3: now denying those reports. So we'll have more to say

305
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 3: about it coming up after the break. Stick around everybody.

306
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: All right, all you Tennessee people, I have a question

307
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 3: for you. Welcome back to the Tom Stearns Radio Show.

308
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 3: So there is a state representative by the name of

309
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 3: Monte Fritz. He's been on this program at the time

310
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 3: to the guy's running for governor. He wants to be

311
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 3: the next governor of the volunteer state. And he's a Republican,

312
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 3: very conservative guy, very devoutly a religious man, a Christian man,

313
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: and he is introduced a bill legislation that would call

314
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: for every university, every college campus, university campus that's run

315
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: by a Tennessee paid for by Tennessee tax dollars, that

316
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: all of these colleges and universities would be required to

317
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: erect memorials for Charlie Kirk. The memorial and by the way,

318
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: this would apply to forty seven schools that are a

319
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: part of the University of Tennessee system and the Tennessee

320
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Board of Regent system. Now, the question is, by the way,

321
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: these it's going to cost taxpayers more than eighteen million

322
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 3: dollars to build these memorials, and over well nearly a

323
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 3: quarter million dollars a year just to maintain them. And

324
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 3: I'm wondering about the couple of things. First of all,

325
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: is that the best use of our tax money. I mean, everybody,

326
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know a lot of people love Charlie Kirk,

327
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: But do we need to be mandating that memorials be

328
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: erected to honor Charlie Kirk at taxpayer expense. And if

329
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: we're gonna honor Charlie Kirk, then what happens if somebody

330
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: wants to, I don't know, erect a memorial for Rush

331
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: Limball or Paul Harvey? What about that? Or God forbid

332
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: the Democrats get in charge again? What happens when the

333
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 3: Democrats want to start erecting memorials for their people? I mean,

334
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 3: do you I'm just I'm trying to think it would

335
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: be Al Sharpton, I mean, really, is that the best

336
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: use of our money? And I'm just sort of surprised

337
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: if this is actually coming from a Republican We're supposed

338
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: to be fiscal conservatives. And if people want to build

339
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: a memorial for Charlie Kirk, I say, that's great, but

340
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: they should be raising their own money, and they should

341
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 3: be using private funds and not taxpayer dollars. The courtyard

342
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: would include four plaques that display the Bill of Rights,

343
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: the Tennessee Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Ten Commandments.

344
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: Kirk's name and date of his death would appear on

345
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: the plaques. The installations would be called the Charlie Kirk

346
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: Memorial Courtyard for civil debate, and the courtyards would be

347
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: required to be at least sixteen hundred square feet. So anyway,

348
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: I'm just curious if you think, if you folks think

349
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: this is a wise thing to do, that we should

350
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 3: be the Republicans should be mandating that we build these

351
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: memorials for Charlie Kirk at taxpayer expense. Our telephone number

352
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

353
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

354
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 3: Let's go to the phones. By the way, Todd in

355
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: North Carolina wants to weigh in on what's happening up

356
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: in Congress with the Save Act. Hey Todd, what's going on?

357
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 9: Hey Todd?

358
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 10: Nineteen sixty seven, I was born, and I can tell

359
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 10: you this. Russe Limbaugh right now will be pushing the

360
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 10: Save Act and let Texas take care of Texas. Trumpkin indoors.

361
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 10: That's great, that's wonderful. Where are the supporters in North Carolina?

362
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 10: Where's tests bud at trying to get our senator down

363
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 10: here elected. I think we need to concentrate on that,

364
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 10: and we need to get the Save Act passed, because

365
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 10: if we do that, Todd, I'm telling you Russe Limbaugh

366
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 10: will be hammering it right now. Get it done is

367
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 10: take care a lot of the aggravation and frustrations as

368
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 10: conservatives Republicans that we have right now.

369
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 7: What's your thoughts on that?

370
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: Well, look, yeah, I think we ought to do it,

371
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: but they're not going to do it. And there's another

372
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: I'll just I'm going to throw this wrench into it. Now.

373
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 3: We're being told that John Cornyn, or at least on Thune,

374
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: the majority leader, may be holding all of this up

375
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 3: and using the Texas Senate race as the threat that

376
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 3: if you do not that, mister president, you know, if

377
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: you do not endorse John Cornyn, we're not going to

378
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 3: pass the Save Act. So they're now using that as

379
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 3: as leverage. And who President Trump may endorse in that

380
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: Senate race, call them.

381
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 10: Put pressure on them. The radio show you got, man,

382
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 10: you hit millions of people, Todd. We need to hammer

383
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 10: that home. North Carolina w ain't got a radio station here, man,

384
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 10: I gotta go up on a mountain to get your station.

385
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 10: And that's what's sad. You know, the people here in

386
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 10: North Carolina, Man, they need to step up and put

387
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 10: pressure on the Senate leadership. I mean, we just need

388
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 10: to have more voices out there. I'll guarantee you that

389
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 10: if Rush was here today, that's the most important thing

390
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 10: we could do right now, past that save Act.

391
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: Well, we've been funding the Alarm noon to three for

392
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: the past two months now, and I am telling you,

393
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 3: Todd that somebody with very deep pockets, somebody with incredibly

394
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 3: deep pockets, is out there stopping this from becoming a reality.

395
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's the issue here, and whoever it

396
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 3: is is even more powerful than the President of the

397
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: United States. I mean, that's what we're dealing with here, Todd.

398
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 3: I gotta run. Thank you for that. Nine oh one

399
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 3: two six zero five, nine two six is our number.

400
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.

401
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break. We'll be right back,

402
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: all right, Welcome back to the Todd Stars Radio Show.

403
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 3: Great to have you with us. We are always honored

404
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: to have Scott Turner, the Secretary of Housing in Urban Development,

405
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: joining us. Mister Secretary, thank you for waiting around after

406
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: the break, and I write, right out of the get go,

407
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: I've got to get your reaction to these crazy headlines.

408
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: You do every time you do something good, the legacy

409
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: media is all over you. And this is what was

410
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 3: the headline from you from MS now. Trump's HUD secretary

411
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 3: touts rule change that can make thousands of people homeless.

412
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 11: Yees, sirwell Todd.

413
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 12: It's always great to be with you. And you know,

414
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 12: what I've learned in this role and prior to this,

415
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 12: is that if you're doing something good, you know, there's

416
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 12: bound to be negative headlines and naysayers. And when people

417
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 12: say that we want to make people homeless, that is

418
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 12: exactly the opposite of what we're doing at HULL. We're

419
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 12: actually putting their American dream back in reach for the

420
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 12: American people under President Trump's leadership. You know, owning a

421
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 12: home is the American dream, and so we want to

422
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 12: serve the people that we've been called to serve at HUD.

423
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 12: And so I think the most recent proposed rule that

424
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 12: you're speaking of is our work requirements and time limits.

425
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 12: You know, whereby HUD is given PHAs and property owners

426
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 12: around the country the ability to require up to forty

427
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 12: hours a week and or two or more years of

428
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 12: time limits for those living inside of HUNT funded housing.

429
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 12: And Todd is you know, man work restores dignity and

430
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 12: work restores family formation. And I've traveled all around our

431
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 12: country and seen people able body people matter fact, this

432
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 12: is for those that are non elderly and non disabled.

433
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 12: If you're an able body, able minded person, then and

434
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 12: you're receiving HUD funds for housing, you should work. And

435
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 12: the results of this is life expectancy, well being or

436
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 12: greater we save taxpayer of dollars. Todd Only one out

437
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 12: of four eligible families right now in our country are

438
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 12: we able to serve. So this will allow us to

439
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 12: serve the people to actually need to be served and

440
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 12: restore the dignity. As I said before, and so for

441
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 12: all the natesares and the negativity hood under President Trump

442
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 12: were doing great things.

443
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 11: For America well.

444
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 3: And I think I think the average American and especially

445
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 3: the hardworking taxpayers greatly appreciate what you're trying to do

446
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: here because we have seen and especially public housing and

447
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 3: by the way, you mentioned the term PHA folks, that's

448
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: public housing authorities. We have seen families for generations living

449
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: in public housing at the cost of taxpayers. And mister Secretary,

450
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 3: the point you're trying to make here is we want

451
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 3: those people to get out of public housing and you know,

452
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: perhaps buy their own home and start claiming that American dream.

453
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 12: That's exactly right, you know. The goal here in our

454
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 12: heart is to break the generational cycle of poverty, you know,

455
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 12: and to help people. You know, public housing or any

456
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 12: government subsidy, if you will, is not meant to be

457
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 12: a hammock but a trampoline. It's not meant to be

458
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 12: a lifetime handout, but really a short term hand up,

459
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 12: you know. And that's very frankly putting it. We want

460
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 12: to help people in the time of need, but we

461
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 12: don't want to create a lifestyle where people live from

462
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 12: generation to generation on public assistance. And Todd in twenty

463
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 12: twenty four, only fifty percent of non elderly and non

464
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 12: disabled households. So think about this.

465
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 11: Fifty percent of the people.

466
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 12: That are non elderly, non disabled that live in public

467
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 12: housing HUD funded housing did not earn one single dollar

468
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty four. So that means fifty percent of

469
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 12: the people that are able to work did not earn

470
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 12: one single dollar. And ninety percent of the people that

471
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 12: receive Sex and eight housing or Section eight funding if

472
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 12: you will, ninety percent, Todd stay on these subsidies for

473
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 12: more than five years, and fifty percent will stay more

474
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 12: than fifteen years. So to answer your question, and really

475
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 12: to drive this point home, America is not a welfare state.

476
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 12: We want people that are ab to work, not just

477
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 12: because but because life expectacy, well being, family formation, dignity

478
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 12: are restored us. So that's our aim here.

479
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: I think it's fascinating when you look at what's happening

480
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: the fraud, the level of fraud that's being uncovered in

481
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: places like, for example, Minneapolis and Minnesota in general, and

482
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: of course those hearings yesterday up on Capitol Hill. I mean,

483
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: when you're telling me that nearly fifty percent of the

484
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: people that are living in public housing are able bodied,

485
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: they're young, younger people, they're not elderly, and they're not

486
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 3: going out there and getting jobs. That tells me the

487
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: level of grift may be so great by the time

488
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 3: you guys get all this sorted out, we're not going

489
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: to have to raise taxes. As a matter of fact,

490
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: we might be able to lower taxes when all the

491
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: grift is finally exposed.

492
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 12: That's exactly right. And you know, a big deal when

493
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 12: we came in under President Trump was to root out

494
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 12: all the waste, fraud, and abuse, and at HUD, you know,

495
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 12: from day one, that's what we've been doing. And just

496
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 12: to kind of give you an example, when this proposed

497
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 12: rule becomes effective, we estimate that the average income of

498
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 12: those that are living in HUD funded housing, household income

499
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 12: will gain sixteen thousand dollars after they paid our rent,

500
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 12: So sixteen thousand dollars per household at about fifty four

501
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 12: to two hundred and fifteen millions will transfer from current

502
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 12: tenants to those that are unassisted households or savings back

503
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 12: to the taxpayers. So yeah, we don't need to raise taxes,

504
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 12: We don't need to put an extra burden on the

505
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 12: American people. We just need to put these and other

506
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 12: type of rules in place to where people can start

507
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 12: earning money, earning income, get off of government subsidies, be

508
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 12: self sufficient, and make room for those that actually need

509
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 12: the help so they two can get in the same cycle,

510
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 12: the same trajectory to become self sufficient.

511
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: Mister sencator, We've got a lot of younger Americans that

512
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: listen to this program. Many of them are right out

513
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 3: of college or they jumped right into the workforce, and

514
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: you know, A big concern among them has been the

515
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 3: affordability issue, especially when wanting to go out and buy

516
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: their first home. And I know this has been a

517
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: big concern of yours as well. How are things going

518
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: in that effort to make housing more affordable and making

519
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: the market accessible.

520
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 12: Well, that's a great question, and you know it is

521
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 12: a valid concern of those that are looking to buy

522
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 12: a home. But I will tell you, you know, I meet

523
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 12: with the President, you know, humbly saying I get to

524
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 12: meet with him about this issue and others, But he

525
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 12: is this is top of mind for the President, myself

526
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 12: and are the leaders in this administration, Todd, I'll take

527
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 12: a step back. During to buy an administration, tens of

528
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 12: millions of illegals were a let across our border is unchecked, unvetted,

529
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 12: and that put a real strain on our houses supply,

530
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 12: and it made housing costs to go up.

531
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 6: Even the rental demand in some.

532
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 12: States around our country. One hundred percent of the increase

533
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 12: of the rental demand in certain places like New York

534
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 12: and California and others. What's because of illegal immigration. So

535
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 12: at hud As we have been taken inventory. We have

536
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 12: made it so now partner with DHS that anybody that

537
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 12: is living in HUD funded houses has to be an

538
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 12: American citizen or an eligible resident of America because HUD funds,

539
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 12: which are taxpayer dollars, should go to those that are

540
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 12: American citizens, are eligible and those people only. We also

541
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 12: stop FASHA back mortgages going to illegals only. FAHA back

542
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 12: mortgages are for the American people and American people only.

543
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 12: And our state is as an encouragement to your listeners

544
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 12: that steps are being taken every single day to bring

545
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 12: houses supply on online, more houses supply, and to bring

546
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 12: affordability up. Right now, mortgage affordability is at a four

547
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 12: year high. Mortgage rates have dropped below six percent, rents

548
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 12: have come down over the last five or six months,

549
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 12: and so the amount of money that people have to

550
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 12: spend every single month is coming down. Under President Trumps,

551
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 12: supply is going up. So young people and older people

552
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 12: are like to be encouraged that we are doing everything

553
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 12: we can to bring on houses apply to bring the

554
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 12: cost down At HUD. Last year we have the million

555
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 12: people become home buyers, one million todd in one year

556
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 12: and five hundred thousand were first time home buyers and

557
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 12: we're just now getting started.

558
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: That's that is just incredibly tremendous. I do want to

559
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 3: circle back though to something you brought up about the illegals.

560
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 3: There was something that was called the mixed status household loophole.

561
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: And you guys have closed that loophole. Now what is that?

562
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 3: What will that do?

563
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, so that's our new proposed rule or qualified

564
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 12: citizens rule. And you said it, sir. We closed this loophole,

565
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 12: the mixed status loophole. During the Biden administration, there were

566
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 12: those who would come into hund funded housing and they

567
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 12: would make a declaration, if you will, that they were

568
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 12: a US citizen and yet not give proof and were

569
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 12: allowed to live and HUT funded housing. That's the first problem.

570
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 12: The second problem is there would be those who would

571
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 12: also come to live in that same household that marked

572
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 12: the section on their application it says, do not contend

573
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 12: quote unquote my immigration status. And so there was no

574
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 12: accountability for those who said they were American citizens and

575
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 12: no accountabilities for those who said they do not contend.

576
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 12: So this in turn created mixed status household. Really they

577
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 12: were roommates. And so now we have with our new

578
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 12: proposal closed that loophole allowing you have to show proof

579
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 12: that you are an American citizen or an eligible resident

580
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 12: of the United States in order to receive HUT funded houses.

581
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 12: So that loophole has been closed, and we have prioritized

582
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 12: only American people. And again, this will make room for

583
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 12: those who actually need the help to live in HUT

584
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 12: funded housing that are American citizens and eligible residents of

585
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 12: our country. And this is going to literally transfer hundreds

586
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 12: of millions of dollars to fully eligible American household whereby

587
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 12: making these places available for American people.

588
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 3: Well, this is all just terrific news. The mister Secretary.

589
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: I know we're coming up on a hard break for

590
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: this program, but we just appreciate the great work you're

591
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 3: doing protecting the hardworking tax money of the American people

592
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: and really helping and encouraging people to get out there

593
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: and live the American dream. That's what it's all about,

594
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 3: mister Secretary. Thank you for coming on this show again.

595
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 12: Absolutely, thank you for having me talk.

596
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 3: All right, there you go, folks. Scott Turner, who is

597
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 3: Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Wow, that aught to

598
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 3: make you feel good that clearly the administration is focusing

599
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 3: on the affordability issue. We've been hearing that just from

600
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: every young caller, every person that's been reaching out to us.

601
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 3: We've been hearing this a big issue. But beyond that,

602
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 3: now telling people, hey, you're going to live in public housing,

603
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: you're going to go get a job, and you're going

604
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 3: to have to show proof that you're out there trying

605
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 3: to find a job. I love that idea. And again

606
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: shutting down those loopholes because as the Secretary said, you

607
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 3: had the illegals, they were literally gaming the system. So

608
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: well done, Secretary Turner, and we always appreciate him hopping

609
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: on the program to give us an update of what

610
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: they're up to. We've got to take a quick break

611
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: here of folks. In the break, I want to encourage

612
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 3: you to head over to Amazon and pre order a

613
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 3: copy of my brand new book. It'll be out this spring.

00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 9: tod Congressman.

660
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: Can you help us out? We got a ladybug infestation

661
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: and you're the only farmer person I know.

662
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 9: It's yeah, those things are they're really a plague.

663
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 12: You know.

664
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 9: We get on the and usually what happens if it's

665
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 9: you know, if it's warmed up a little and then

666
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 9: you have kind of a colder snap, they start trying

667
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 9: to come inside to get out of the cold air,

668
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 9: I guess. And they're real pain and they stink too.

669
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 9: If you're dealing with the ones that I think you are,

670
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 9: they actually would you like vacuum them off or you

671
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,439
Speaker 9: if you smatch one, Heaven forbid, they actually smell pretty bad.

672
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 3: Well I didn't realize that, but thank you for the warning.

673
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 3: So we'll get some fabrize.

674
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 5: You know.

675
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 3: It's here's my concern. I don't want to have like

676
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: a mic pent situation when I'm hosting Newsmax and one

677
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 3: of those things land like on my forehead. That's that's

678
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 3: that's my big concern.

679
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 9: Well, Congress, that is likely to happen.

680
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 12: You know.

681
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 9: They do move around, so.

682
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 3: No doubt about it. All right, Well, we'll just keep

683
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: we'll keep using the dirt devil. Congressman. We've got a

684
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: lot to talk about, and I know that you have

685
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: been very passionate about, uh, the Save Act of the

686
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 3: Save America Act and making sure that the Senate does

687
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 3: what you guys have already done. What is the hold

688
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: up here? This has to be a great source of

689
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 3: frustration for all of you guys on the House side.

690
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 9: Well, absolutely, you know, we've passed it last year, are

691
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 9: now probably four hundred and twenty five days ago or so,

692
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 9: and then we passed it a couple of weeks back,

693
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 9: a slightly better version, and you know, we think the

694
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 9: Senate should take it up. And I think the President

695
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 9: agrees with us, and I think Americans overwhelmingly agree with

696
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 9: us that, you know, we need to secure our elections.

697
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 9: It's the most important single thing I think we could do.

698
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 9: And there are a lot of important things we need

699
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 9: to do. But if the American people can't trust that

700
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 9: their vote is sacricinct, then I think we are headed

701
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 9: down the wrong path. And I think while Republicans have

702
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 9: the opportunity to get this done, we need to get

703
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 9: it done. And frankly, I just don't buy the excuses

704
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 9: that we hear coming from the Senate side, from the

705
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 9: majority leader soon that you know this is going to

706
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 9: take too long. I think that this is so fundamental

707
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 9: to everything else that they need to take the time

708
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 9: they need to take and put the pressure on the

709
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,240
Speaker 9: Democrat members on this over on the Senate side, because

710
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 9: we know that you know, over eighty percent of Americans

711
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 9: agree about this, over seventy percent of Democrats degree about this,

712
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 9: and it doesn't matter what demographic group you look at,

713
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 9: there is consensus on this issue. And we know that

714
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 9: level of consensus is rare in American politics these days.

715
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 9: And so we just need to get this done. And

716
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 9: I think the Senate needs to determine that it's worth

717
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 9: doing and then put the you know, put the time

718
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 9: and energy into it, and make the decisions to get

719
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 9: it done.

720
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: For me, it's a bit bewildering because it is very

721
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 3: clear where the President of the United States stands on

722
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 3: this issue. And I know the President putting out a

723
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 3: truth a statement on true social this morning, saying the

724
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 3: Republicans must do with passion and at the expense of

725
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: everything else, the Save America Act, not the water down version.

726
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 3: This is a country defining fight for the soul of

727
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 3: our nation. I mean, the President's not mincing words here,

728
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: and yet the majority leader, the audacity of the majority

729
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: leader to basically stand up to the leader of the

730
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: party congressman.

731
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 9: I think that's right. I mean, I think they don't

732
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 9: get it. And of course we've seen the Senate being

733
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 9: less than you know, stellar in terms of their productivity,

734
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 9: and this issue just needs to be given to the

735
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 9: priority that it deserves. And I think ultimately this can

736
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 9: be a real separating issue for this whole election cycle

737
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 9: with the American people and we and the Senate needs

738
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,360
Speaker 9: to frame it. And you know, if for some reason

739
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 9: they try but they fail, at least they will have tried.

740
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 9: And so I think it's unacceptable that they're just kind

741
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 9: of waving this off.

742
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: We have Congressman John Rose with us from Tennessee who

743
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 3: is giving up a seat in Congress. He is running

744
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 3: to be the next governor. There is a three person primary,

745
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 3: predominantly three person primary. Many other people are running, including

746
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: by the way, or someone of a former NASA astronaut

747
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 3: Butts Wilmore who got stuck up in space. That's his

748
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 3: claim to fame. But he's also he himself is also

749
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 3: a farmer, and he's thrown his hand into the ring.

750
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 9: Well, I think I think he has pulled a petition.

751
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 9: And you know, obviously the qualifying dates coming up here

752
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 9: next week. But you know, we'll see who actually gets in.

753
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 15: Uh.

754
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 9: You know, it's a little bit late. Frankly, my estimation

755
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 9: that you know, we've been traveling to state for more

756
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 9: than a year talking to tennessee ins, and so I

757
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 9: think Tennesseeans want to get to know their leaders before

758
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 9: they make choices like this. And so, you know, wish

759
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 9: everyone well that wants to to, you know, get into

760
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,439
Speaker 9: this race. But I think I think it's a little

761
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 9: bit late. And as you know, it's a pretty heavy

762
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 9: lift to stand up and run a statewide campaign. And

763
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 9: I think, you know, I think some of these folks

764
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 9: that are getting in late maybe haven't fallen through all

765
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 9: the details of that will find that it's it's hard

766
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 9: to get the opportunity really to make your case if

767
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 9: you if you don't have the time and the resources

768
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 9: to get that done.

769
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 3: From Bartlett to Bristol is a lot of mileage there.

770
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 3: The only thing that makes it enjoyable is you've got

771
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 3: a couple of BUCkies between here and there, Uh, Congressman.

772
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 3: But but to your point, there's a lot of ground

773
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: to cover. And I heard you you were in Memphis,

774
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: I believe last weekend for the Lincoln Dinner, and you

775
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 3: gave a great speech. As Senator Marshall Blackburn a great

776
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 3: gave a great speech, and you know, just full disclosure,

777
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: I endorsed her early on. I think that's always important

778
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 3: to say. But I'm just going to ask you this, congressman,

779
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: why do you think she would make a lousy governor?

780
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 9: She doesn't have the right experience. I think it's just

781
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 9: really that that uh, that simple. I think also though,

782
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 9: that it's you know, this place Washington is is uh.

783
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 9: I think it's a bit toxic, and I think it's degrading,

784
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 9: and in terms of keeping yourself focused. That's why I

785
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 9: think that that George Washington set the example and so

786
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 9: many have followed of you come and serve for a

787
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 9: season and you come home. You know, there is there's

788
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 9: a corrosive nature to the atmosphere in Washington, and I

789
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 9: think that's why you see Senator Blackburn frankly out of

790
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 9: touch at this point with her voters back in Tennessee

791
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,919
Speaker 9: in terms of so many issues like you know, whether

792
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 9: she should use her power to get special treatment, you know,

793
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 9: for herself, or whether it's to you know, pad her

794
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 9: pocket with a payday provision that puts money in her pocket. Personally,

795
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 9: I think I think you're here too long. You kind

796
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 9: of forget who it is you serve, And so I

797
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 9: think it's really those two things. The job of being

798
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 9: governor is the job of leader of our state. It's

799
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 9: a CEO job. It's very different from the job that

800
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 9: I'm doing right now as a member of Congress, and

801
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 9: that she's done for the last thirty years most of

802
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 9: her adult life. And I think Tennessee and get that.

803
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 9: That's why they continually and repeatedly elected people with that

804
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 9: sea EO experience. I have that. And the opponents, all

805
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 9: of these opponents that we might make mention of from

806
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 9: both parties and independence of likes, they all lack that experience.

807
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 9: And so I bring that to the table. I won't

808
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 9: have to get on the job training. I did that

809
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 9: in my old business, building businesses, creating jobs, signing the

810
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 9: front side of paycheck, figuring out and learning how to

811
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 9: lead large organizations. And that's the job of being governor.

812
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 9: And I think that's really the distinguishing characteristic here.

813
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 3: Was there something specific, though, I mean, you've made some

814
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: accusations against Blackburn. Was there some one single thing that

815
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 3: you said, man that just rubs me the wrong way?

816
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 9: Well, I think anytime you use your power as an

817
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 9: elected official to get preferential treatment to benefits you personally,

818
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 9: that's wrong.

819
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 3: Did she do that?

820
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 9: Can I think Tennesseeans get that?

821
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 3: Did she do that?

822
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 9: Well? So in the recent ice storm, it's been reported

823
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 9: that she and her team asked for preferential treatment in

824
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 9: terms of restoring her electric power to her personal residence

825
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 9: and they got that. So it's uh, you know, and

826
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 9: and why did they get that? They got that because

827
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 9: I think that the leaders of Nashville Electric Service understood

828
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 9: who she was and what she was asking for, and

829
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 9: they and they acceded to her demand and gave and

830
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 9: put her ahead of every other average American, every every

831
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 9: other average Tennessee and and and I think that's just wrong.

832
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 9: And then, uh, you know, she was fed on as

833
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 9: part of Arctic Cross and I don't condone that at all.

834
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 9: And I think that needs to be pursued, and I've

835
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 9: called on Attorney General Bondi to do that.

836
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 10: Uh.

837
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 9: And there should be punishment for the misuse of federal

838
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 9: power and investigatory power, But that doesn't mean that the

839
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 9: senators involve should get you know, a bonus pay uh

840
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 9: paid for by taxpayers, punishing taxpayers for the wrongdoing of

841
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 9: fighting the administration officials is not the right answer, and

842
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 9: I think I think Senator Blickburn and others lost.

843
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 3: Sight of that Congressman before we let you go, Congressoman

844
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 3: Nancy Mayce wanting to unleash these secret files, the slush

845
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 3: fund that and the reporting is that millions of our

846
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 3: tax dollars have been used to pay off victims of

847
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 3: sexual abuse on Capitol Hill. You were one of the votes,

848
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 3: and again I think this was a procedural vote. I

849
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 3: don't want to get too much in the weeds, but

850
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 3: as a result of your vote, that is not that

851
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 3: information is not going to be released. Why would you

852
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 3: want to protect people on Capitol Hill that may be

853
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 3: involved in wrongdoing.

854
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 9: Well, so, I think you're right about the framing of

855
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 9: the issue here and the vote that we took. I

856
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 9: certainly am not opposed to making sure the taxpayers are

857
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 9: made aware of payouts that are meant to, you know,

858
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 9: keep secret allegations against members of Congress, and certainly would

859
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 9: favor that. I think the vision here that we voted

860
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 9: on yesterday, and incidentally, as you've already pointed out, overwhelmingly

861
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 9: defeated and a large number of my conservative colleagues who

862
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 9: I look to and often am guided by how they

863
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 9: assess these issues, joined me and voting against this. I

864
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,720
Speaker 9: think it really this issue really comes down to whether

865
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 9: or not we're going to potentially expose and reveal the

866
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 9: identity of the accusers before there's really been a full

867
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 9: and fair opportunity to assess the validity of the claims

868
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 9: that they've made. And so, you know, Mace was forcing

869
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 9: action on a resolution that would have compelled the Ethics

870
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 9: Panel to publicly release all reports and materials on allegations

871
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 9: of sexual misconduct and harassment, even before there had been

872
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 9: an opportunity to vet whether those allegations had credibility. I

873
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 9: certainly am not saying that the current process is perfect.

874
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 9: Have served on an ethics panel before investigating a member

875
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 9: of Congress through wrongdoing, and so there could be significant

876
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 9: improvements made, and I think we want as much visibility

877
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 9: as we can get. But I do think that this

878
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 9: was the wrong way to go about it, and so

879
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 9: that's why conservatives like you know, uh, Jim Jordan and

880
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 9: Barry Loudermilk and Mary Miller and Troy Nails and Gosh,

881
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 9: Mark Harris, might Mike Collins, you know several of these

882
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 9: people were voting with me because they're very concerned about

883
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 9: the chilling effects that it would have on victims if

884
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 9: their identities were released when they wanted to remain you know,

885
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 9: they wanted those uh you know, the potential uh for

886
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 9: their release enough to be kept no step confidentially.

887
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I get it. And we're we're coming

888
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 3: up on a on a super hard break here, Congressman,

889
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 3: And I know we covered a lot of ground and

890
00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 3: I appreciate you doing that and taking the hard question

891
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: real quick. Where can people go if they want to

892
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 3: get more information about your campaign?

Speaker 3: a his family has been in this state for generations

900
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:32,880
Speaker 3: and he is going up against Senator Marshall Blackburn. She's

901
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,479
Speaker 3: leading with a massive margin and all the polls and

902
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 3: at state Representative Monte Fritz, who I think would be

903
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 3: certainly generating a lot of attention from the the America

904
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: First crowd. All right, we've got to take a break.

00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:11,040

909
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Todd. This is from Curtis from Memphis. Good afternoon, Todd,

910
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Curtis. I agree with the Congressman. Marsha Blackburn

911
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: will not be getting my vote because she's a do

912
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 3: nothing individual. She hasn't done anything productive since she's been

913
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 3: in public office. I will not be voting for her

914
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 3: for governor PS. I'm the one that met you at

915
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,479
Speaker 3: the Trump rally at the Landers Center a few years ago.

916
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 3: I had on the T shirt that read I left

917
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 3: the Democratic Plantation in twenty sixteen. So good, good for you, Curtis. Well,

918
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: it's going to be a heated race. And I will

919
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 3: just say this, and this goes for everybody across the

920
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 3: country to you Republicans, once the primary is done. You

921
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 3: can fight like cats and dogs all right during the primaries,

922
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 3: but once the primaries are over, you got to get behind.

923
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 3: You got to get behind your nominee. We've got too

924
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 3: much at stake here, folks in the midterms. We've got

925
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 3: too much at steak to mess around like that. We

926
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 3: just do all right, Number one please.

927
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 8: But most important thing, we're going to hold people accountable

928
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 8: for the choices they make. The difference between athletes today

929
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 8: and fifty years ago. Today, everybody wants to talk about

930
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 8: their rights and their privileges. Fifty years ago, people talked

931
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 8: about their obligation and responsibilities. No, I'm one of these people.

932
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 13: Have firmly believe you.

933
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 8: Join a spouse, you join the team, you join a business,

934
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,959
Speaker 8: you have obligations to other people. If you want to fail,

935
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 8: you have the right to fail. You do not have

936
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 8: the right to cause other people to fail because you

937
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 8: don't do everything to the very best of your ability.

938
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 3: That, ladies and gentlemen, is the great Lou Holtz, who

939
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 3: passed away yesterday. Just had an enc DofE. One of

940
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 3: the great football coaches of all time, turned things around

941
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 3: at Notre Dame, won the National championship, and he's a

942
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 3: man that really brought a lot of wisdom to not

943
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 3: only the game of football, but also to life. And

944
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: we need more football coaches like Lou Holtz out there,

945
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 3: willing to people that are willing to say what needs

946
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: to be said, and imagine the lives of the young

947
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 3: men that how they were changed under his coaching tutelage.

948
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 3: So I certainly want to pray for the family of

949
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,800
Speaker 3: the great Lou Holtz today. Is they mourn his passing

950
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: now in glory? All right, hang time, everybody gotta take

951
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:58,760
Speaker 3: a break. We'll be right back, Dylan. What about agent

952
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 3: orange can we use? I think that would kill the bugs,

953
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 3: but it might take out some of our staff too.

954
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 13: Yeah, you might want to buy a hasmat suits first.

955
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:06,360
Speaker 16: Yeah.

956
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 13: I'm just these are really that serious about it, go

957
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 13: for it.

958
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 3: I'm really frustrated. I want to get like a flamethrower

959
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 3: and just like torch them and they they fly. And

960
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 3: someone told me the lovely miss Kristen, who puts my

961
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 3: face on every day. She said, there's some that bite

962
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 3: these lady. But they're not lady. But they're like dragon

963
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 3: ladybugs or something. They're Chinese.

964
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 13: They might they might spit something out.

965
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: It's like communists, bastards. Yeah, that's what they are.

966
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 13: Yeah.

967
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 3: Anyway, if any of you guys have solutions on how

968
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 3: we can fix the problem. Even Congress You know, I

969
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 3: just realized Congressman Rose, who's a farmer, he ont A,

970
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,479
Speaker 3: he never told us how to get rid of.

971
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 14: Them, though he did relate to us though that there

972
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 14: are many just like.

973
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 3: Just like a politician. Good lord, I'm gonna switch my vote.

974
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. She's a loop. Welcome

975
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 3: back to the time Sterns the radio show. Luke symbol

976
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 3: joining us are great Republican strategies, and Luke, hope you're

977
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 3: doing well today. A lot of political news going on.

978
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 17: Yes, a lot of political news and a lot of

979
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 17: political infighting.

980
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 3: So here's and here's my concern. And I've got several

981
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 3: and I know a lot of our listeners are saying,

982
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: stop being what do they call them, a PanicIn? But

983
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 3: I'm not a pannikin. I'm just looking at the numbers.

984
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 3: And when you look at what happened in that special

985
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 3: election in Tennessee, which was what a twenty plus Trump district,

986
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 3: you look at what just happened in Virginia where the

987
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: Republicans were slaughtered, completely wiped out. It was like Custer's

988
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 3: last stand. When you look at what just happened in

989
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 3: Texas and North Carolina with voter turnout. We've got an

990
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 3: enthusiasm problem here in the Republican side of the aisle.

991
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: How do we fix that?

992
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, we have an enthusiasm problem. And we are now,

993
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 17: unfortunately the party of low propensity voters, which means that

994
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 17: we come out every four years, but we missed these

995
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 17: special elections. We miss these elections that are between the

996
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 17: presidential election every four years, and we need to wake

997
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 17: people up. This is happening to parties across the country.

998
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 13: You know.

999
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 17: Part of it is sometimes local parties are apathetic or

1000
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 17: they're not doing what they need to do to get

1001
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 17: the vote out state and local parties and national parties.

1002
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 17: This has been a problem with the RNC, and I

1003
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:26,720
Speaker 17: think the RNC needs to develop a strategy that then

1004
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 17: gets pushed to the states, that then gets pushed to

1005
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:33,439
Speaker 17: the county parties to get the vote out. And here's

1006
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 17: the message Todd and Trump in his State of the

1007
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 17: Union speech helped reset the narrative on so much of this,

1008
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 17: and we can't lose some of that momentum. With the narrative.

1009
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 17: The Democrats are radical and when you look at Virginia,

1010
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 17: for example, they try to run on a moderate platform,

1011
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 17: they get into office and they turn into crazy leftists.

1012
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 17: They push these policies that are insane, and so we

1013
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 17: need to wake people up. I want, you know, messages

1014
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 17: about what happened in Virginia across the country saying you

1015
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 17: can't trust these people. They lie to you in the

1016
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 17: minute they get into office, they turn into radical leftists.

1017
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 3: And Spamberger campaigned on this idea that she's a moderate

1018
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 3: and and of course we know that's turned out not

1019
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 3: to be true. When you look at this guy, James Tallerico,

1020
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 3: I just think, I think he's a very dangerous guy.

1021
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,439
Speaker 3: And I think though that I you know, he's gonna

1022
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:28,479
Speaker 3: try to portray himself as a moderate and this guy

1023
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 3: is a raging leftist.

1024
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 17: You're right. Look, there are some bad Republicans, but all

1025
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,479
Speaker 17: the Democrats are bad and that's what they're there. They're

1026
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 17: leftist Marxists. They want to bring in this this DEI

1027
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 17: stuff that they are just waiting at the sidelines that

1028
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 17: the minute the House takes back power, which they're saying

1029
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 17: they're going to take back power this year, which will

1030
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,640
Speaker 17: happen if Republicans don't get out and vote. The minute

1031
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 17: they take back power, it is going Trump's agenda is

1032
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 17: going to be completely derailed, although it's already somewhat being derailed.

1033
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 17: Becase because the Senate still has not passed the Save Act.

1034
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: No, they have not. And you you heard Congressman John

1035
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 3: Rose just a moment ago talking about that. I'm just

1036
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 3: the hubris of John Thune here. What is going on?

1037
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 3: Why is he defying his president?

1038
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 17: It is it almost is to the point where it's

1039
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 17: like who has something on him? I mean it just

1040
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 17: it doesn't make any sense to me. And when you

1041
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 17: look at Dune, when you look at Tillis, when you

1042
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 17: look at Cornyn, these these so called Republicans that when

1043
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 17: you hear them speak, they sound like Democrats, And I

1044
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 17: just don't understand it. And you have eighty percent of

1045
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 17: the country agreeing with what's in the Save Act and

1046
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 17: you can't get the Senate to pass it. You can't

1047
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 17: put a voice filibuster out, so to make somebody, you know,

1048
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 17: make Corey Booker faint because he's speaking for too long,

1049
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 17: and then take a vote and win it just it

1050
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 17: doesn't make any sense to me at all.

1051
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 3: And now so you've got you've got a mess happening there,

1052
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 3: and the Republican controlled Senate. You've got a mess over

1053
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 3: at DHS right now, by the way, Senator John Kennedy

1054
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 3: coming out, and he's saying that after Christy nomes brutal

1055
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 3: testimony yesterday, that Trump called him and suggested that Nome

1056
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 3: was not being forthcoming with her answers to some of

1057
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,959
Speaker 3: the questions. That tells me she's on the chopping block.

1058
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 17: She's on the chopping block, I think you know. And

1059
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 17: that tells me also that Steven Miller, who is really

1060
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 17: active in the d what DHS is doing, is really

1061
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 17: active in the DJ. I have friends who work for

1062
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 17: the DJ who say he's on calls every day with

1063
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 17: them kind of directing. That tells me he's also fed

1064
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 17: up to.

1065
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 3: Well, and the problem in the DOJ. You had the

1066
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 3: report coming out yesterday. They're not going to be moving

1067
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 3: forward on the auto pen. They've shelved the autopin scandal.

1068
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 3: What exactly are And again, it may very well be

1069
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 3: that all of these scandals there turns out there's nothing

1070
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 3: to it. And if that's the case, then we need

1071
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 3: to have conversations with House Republicans because they've been wasting

1072
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 3: our money on these big dogs made for TV hearings

1073
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 3: when in fact there was nothing there.

1074
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 17: Well, and really, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Release the

1075
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 17: information that you have. And I totally agree with you, Todd.

1076
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 17: And the country is really focused on this, and we're

1077
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 17: not going to have a good time in the midterms

1078
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 17: coming up if we don't change some things. And Trump

1079
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 17: is doing everything that he can, Like I said in

1080
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 17: the State of the Union address, he reset completely reset

1081
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 17: the narrative. And unfortunately the establishment Republicans, a lot of

1082
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 17: these Republicans in the Senate and in the House are

1083
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 17: not following suits and they need to start taking some

1084
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 17: notes and learning because Trump will not be around forever

1085
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 17: and the Republican Party was dead before he arrived and

1086
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 17: it will go back to being that way if we

1087
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 17: don't change something.

1088
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I gotta play this. This is tall Rico talking

1089
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,040
Speaker 3: about his whiteness cut number four.

1090
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 18: For me, prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon

1091
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 18: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,

1092
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 18: my own ego. A never ending process and it's a

1093
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 18: painful process, all right.

1094
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 3: So James Tallarico is now a woman, Ladies and gentlemen.

1095
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 3: It's disgusting. I mean, this guy is weird. He was

1096
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 3: boasting about being a teenage boy and going to plan

1097
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 3: parenthood protest back in the early two thousands. I think

1098
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,840
Speaker 3: we need to be checking out this guy's computers.

1099
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 17: If you if you have any testosterone, you just can't

1100
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 17: vote Democrat. And if you're a woman who appreciates testosterone

1101
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 17: in your man, you can't vote Democraty.

1102
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 3: This guy's a Presbyterian by the man, which one tall rico.

1103
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 3: He says his grandfather was a Southern Baptist pastor in

1104
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 3: South Texas. I'm fairly certain something something clearly went wrong,

1105
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 3: horribly wrong. Oh no, So I want to play this

1106
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 3: audio for This is CNN's Harry Enton. I love this.

1107
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 3: The guy's got so much energy, and he was pointing

1108
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 3: out this new polling data they've got. Take to listen.

1109
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 16: Two Republican primaries. He is a Tom Brady. He has

1110
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 16: a babe Ruth. Because take a look here, Toms Trump

1111
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 16: endorses won GOP primaries congressional and gubernatoria races ninety eight

1112
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 16: percent in twenty twenty, ninety five percent in twenty twenty two,

1113
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 16: and then ninety six percent in twenty twenty four. Now,

1114
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,120
Speaker 16: I will note that oftentimes he endorses incumbents, and those

1115
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 16: folks don't necessarily have very hard challenges. But even when

1116
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 16: he endorses challengers against incumbents, the challengers win a majority

1117
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 16: of the time his endorsement. President Trump's endorsement is as

1118
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 16: good as gold. In Republican primary, you.

1119
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 15: Know you, compared to Tom Brady, he actually does better

1120
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 15: than Tom.

1121
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 17: Tom Brady lost, he did a few super bowls.

1122
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 2: Sunningly.

1123
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 3: Donald Trump almost never loses when he endorses in a primary.

1124
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 16: Because why Why Because Republicans love Donald Trump more than

1125
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 16: any president's own party supporters loved him at this particular point.

1126
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 17: Just take a look here, okay.

1127
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 16: Own party supporters twenty first century president's own party approval

1128
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 16: about at this point the second term Bush was at

1129
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 16: seventy seven percent. Obama was at seventy seven percent.

1130
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 5: Look at this.

1131
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 16: Eighty six percent of Republicans approve of the job that

1132
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 16: Donald Trump is doing at this point. That is higher

1133
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 16: than either Obama or Bush had within their own party

1134
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 16: at this point. Trump's magic touch has not seen the

1135
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 16: war off yet. When it comes to the Republican.

1136
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:20,840
Speaker 3: Base, what do you make of that that those are

1137
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 3: huge numbers.

1138
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 17: It shows that Donald Trump is the leader of the

1139
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 17: Republican Party and if you are a Republican, you have

1140
01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:30,280
Speaker 17: to get on board with the MAGA agenda. It is

1141
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 17: hugely popular. It addresses the kitchen table issues, affordability, crime

1142
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 17: that people really care about. Just get on board. And

1143
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 17: do you think he's going to endorse. I think he's

1144
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 17: going to endorse in that Texas race.

1145
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 3: So we were talking about this earlier, and there is

1146
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 3: a lot of concern that if in fact the President

1147
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 3: goes with Cornyn, that it is going to enrage the

1148
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 3: base because they hate they hate John Corny. Now, keep

1149
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 3: in mind, this is a guy who's been in the

1150
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 3: Senate for well over two decades and he barely got

1151
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 3: forty two percent of the vote in that Republican primary.

1152
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 3: That tells me that half of the Republican Party hates

1153
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 3: this guy.

1154
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,160
Speaker 17: But why do they hate him. It's because he hates us,

1155
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 17: that's right. He hates the MAGA voter. He even said

1156
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 17: that these MAGA voters are out of touch with normal Republicans,

1157
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 17: that he's the one that is out of touch. The

1158
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 17: normal Republican has changed and we are an American First Party,

1159
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 17: and Cornan is not an American First Party. He wants

1160
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 17: to open the floodgates to legal immigration. He wants to

1161
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 17: open the flood gate. I mean, has he even addressed

1162
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 17: the mosques that are popping up all over Houston, Dallas,

1163
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 17: in Texas that state is going to go blue?

1164
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 3: He has been. He's been issuing these statements celebrating the

1165
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Islamic faith in their holidays. That's what John Cornyn has

1166
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 3: been doing.

1167
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 17: He's completely out of touch. And he is perfectly fine

1168
01:07:52,560 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 17: with Texas going blue. And it's not because of illegal immigration,

1169
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 17: although that was a problem in Texas, but it is

1170
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 17: because of a legal immigration and they want to open

1171
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 17: the floodgates. And now the litmus test for whether you

1172
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 17: are an American first congress person or senator is what

1173
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,480
Speaker 17: do you say about legal immigration. Do we want to

1174
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 17: protect the American worker, Do we want to protect the

1175
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 17: American culture, our way of life, assimilate the folks already

1176
01:08:19,320 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 17: here and turn off the mass migration or not? And

1177
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 17: cornyin wants to let anybody who wants to come and

1178
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 17: legally come in, and it is destroying his state.

1179
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 3: All right, And guys, we do have some breaking news

1180

Speaker 3: Christinome now out at the Department of Homeland Security. She's

1184
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 3: being demoted. This coming from my team over at Newsmax.

1185
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 3: We're going to look into all of the details. But

1186
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 3: we were somewhat prophetic loxamble talking about the future of

1187
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 3: Christy No. But yes, she has been fired as a

1188
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 3: department as the secretary of Department of Homeland Security. So

1189
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 3: that information just now coming out and we'll dig into that.

1190
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,879
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a quick break. Here, regroup our telephone

1191
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 3: number nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1192
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1193
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stearns Show. All right, everybody, welcome

1194
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 3: back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. We have breaking

1195
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 3: news on a couple of fronts. So first of all,

1196
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 3: we can confirm that, and we announced this in the

1197
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:36,520
Speaker 3: last segment. Christy Nome has been fired as Homeland Security secretary,

1198
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 3: the President announcing that he is nominating Mark Wayne Mullen

1199
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 3: to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security. Now that's

1200
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 3: going to be interesting because Mullen is a senator, a

1201
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 3: Republican senator from Oklahoma, so that will leave an opening there,

1202
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 3: So we'll keep you updated. The President did say that

1203
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 3: Christy Nome will serve as will be moving on, to

1204
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 3: be quote, the special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,

1205
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 3: a new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere that's going

1206
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,599
Speaker 3: to be announced on Saturday. The President thanking Christy Nome

1207
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 3: for her service. Luke, no surprise, there.

1208
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 13: No no surprise.

1209
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 17: And after her testimony, I mean to have Senator John

1210
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 17: Kennedy from Louisiana very frustrated with Nome. I that the

1211
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 17: writing was on the wall. And as you said in

1212
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 17: the last segment, the President apparently was not happy with

1213
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 17: her testimony. She wouldn't answer the question, and you know

1214
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 17: it's it's and was not forthcoming. And so she's out

1215
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 17: and hopefully we can get a lot done with this

1216
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 17: new guy.

1217
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,719
Speaker 3: When somebody asks you, are you cheating on your spouse,

1218
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 3: the correct response if you didn't do anything, is hell no.

1219
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 3: Who told you that I'm going to beat the living

1220
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 3: cramp out of them?

1221
01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 17: You're exactly right. You have to immediately immediately deny. You

1222
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 17: can even have a one word answer. You can say no,

1223
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 17: and I'm not going to deign this with any more

1224
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 17: of a response. But she can't. I mean, I think

1225
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 17: we know what's happening.

1226
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, she could have even said well not today. I

1227
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 3: mean at least you know, I mean, that may not

1228
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 3: have been true. Unbelievable. Now this breaking news from Texas,

1229
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 3: and this is weird. So the Attorney General Kim Paxton

1230
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:29,839
Speaker 3: just put out a statement saying that he would consider

1231
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 3: dropping out of the race if Senate leadership agrees to

1232
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 3: lift the filibuster and pass the Save America Act. So

1233
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 3: he thinks he's falling on the sword here. He goes

1234
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 3: on to say John Cornyon is a coward who has

1235
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 3: refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass the bill.

1236
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 3: All right, so he thinks he's doing the right thing here.

1237
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 3: President Trump disagrees because the President just responded, President Trump

1238
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 3: telling Politico that is a bad thing for Paxton to

1239
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 3: say that this is the quote that is bad for him.

1240
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe that leads me to go to the

1241
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:08,559
Speaker 3: other direction.

1242
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 17: No, no, Cornan hates you, President Trump. Be loyal to

1243
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 17: your base. Paxon has been so loyal to President Trump

1244
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 17: He stood by President Trump when with the with the

1245
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 17: voter irregularities in twenty twenty. He defended him profusely. He

1246
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 17: had good, good articulate arguments. He has stood. Paxxon has

1247
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 17: been so faithful and loyal, loyal to the American First

1248
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 17: agenda for President Trump. And what Paxon is doing, which

1249
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 17: is brilliant, what Paxson is doing is forcing the narrative

1250
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 17: on this Say Act. He is forcing the issue. He

1251
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 17: is forcing Cornan to respond, and that's where we should

1252
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,839
Speaker 17: be applying pressure right now. Apply it on Cornan.

1253
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 3: You know, I was talking to some folks last night

1254
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 3: in DC, and they were actually suggested. They were saying

1255
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 3: that the rumblings are that at that Foon was was

1256
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 3: dangling the Save America Act, dangling it out there to

1257
01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 3: get Trump to saying, mister Trump, mister President, if you

1258
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 3: endorse Cornyn, we'll move forward with the filibuster.

1259
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 17: Interesting, I'm sure there's a lot going on behind the scenes.

1260
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 3: I would not believe anything. Seriously, you gotta do it

1261
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 3: first and then I'll think about it.

1262
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's my concern. Even with Paxton's statement. I get

1263
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 17: you can get promises all day long, but until they

1264
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 17: actually move the Save Act in the Senate. I just

1265
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,799
Speaker 17: don't know that anything's going to happen. This is such

1266
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 17: a debacle, and we're focusing on the Save Act when

1267
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 17: it is a it is a clear it is clear

1268
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 17: how popular it is, and we could be passing it

1269
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 17: and focusing on things like affordability, focusing on things like crime,

1270
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 17: focusing on the message that Trump had in the State

1271
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 17: of the Union address that was so popular with the

1272
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 17: American people, getting independence back on board. But instead we're

1273
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 17: just in limbo and the Senate doesn't seem to be

1274
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 17: doing anything.

1275
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 3: All right, Oh, I do want to get I'm thinking

1276
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 3: of you know, the Constitution, the the you know, the

1277
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 3: Constitution of States. What are they called the Convention.

1278
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 13: Of Stats, Convention of States.

1279
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about doing something a mandatory This is mandatory

1280
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,960
Speaker 3: rule for all political parties that campaign dinners can be

1281
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 3: no longer than ninety minutes. What do you think I think,

1282
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:25,639
Speaker 3: I think I'll get some some port.

1283
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 17: You and I were at one recently that was a

1284
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 17: little longer.

1285
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still analyzing what was on that dinner.

1286
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 17: Actually, Todd and I had the pleasure of sitting next

1287
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 17: to each other, and poor Todd and I were cutting

1288
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 17: through the rubber chicken.

1289
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 3: Is that what that was?

1290
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 17: I think it was chicken. He did not like his

1291
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 17: kale salad, gentleman, was that?

1292
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 3: Well, that's right, it was kale. I thought it was.

1293
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 13: I'm looking.

1294
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,839
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the menu. It had kale salad, gluten

1295
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:55,160
Speaker 3: free dessert, and some vegetarian option involving a giant mushroom.

1296
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, I thought it was. At the Democrat party

1297
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 3: dinner was the thing we eat, you know, we eat

1298

1310
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,560
Speaker 3: of moving parts, but we can tell you that Christinome

1311
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 3: is out at Homeland Security after that disastrous testimony yesterday

1312
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 3: where she was grilled by Republicans and Democrats. So Christine

1313
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 3: Home is being moved to another position. Mark Wayne Mullen,

1314
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 3: who is the Senator from Oklahoma, is the President's pick

1315

Speaker 3: to be the new Secretary of Homeland Security, So a

1316
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:36,799
Speaker 3: lot of moving parts there. Also Ken Panston, the Attorney

1317
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 3: General of Texas, announcing on his social media page just

1318
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 3: a little while ago that if the Senate passes the

1319
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 3: same act, then he will pull out of the race,

1320
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 3: which is a noble gesture. But President Trump did not

1321
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 3: like that gesture, and the President said he's so irritated

1322
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 3: that he may end up endorsing John Cornyn, who, by

1323
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 3: the way, Cordon hates Trump. So a lot of weird

1324
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 3: news breaking loose. My question, ladies and gentlemen, who do

1325

Speaker 3: do you support John Cornyn. We're going to be taking

1327
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 3: your calls on that. Nine oh one two six zero

1332
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 3: and whenever there's a documentary on, whenever there's sort of

1333
01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 3: like a Netflix biography about a president, I can't get

1334
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 3: enough of that. And I know with the the two

Speaker 3: folks are looking for ways to reconnect with American history.

01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,760

1356
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:47,519

1357
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 3: Netflix documentary a couple of weeks or it's a movie

1358
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,479
Speaker 3: about the life of James Garfield. It's sort of like

1359
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 3: a mini series and one of our great presidents, and

1360
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 3: of course he was assassinated and you really a lot

1361
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 3: of kids don't know the history of James Garfield. But again,

1362
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 3: when you go to these kinds of shows, I guess

1363
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 3: I guess you sort of get glimpses of maybe parts

1364
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 3: of American history that you didn't know about.

1365

01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 15: a good place.

1378
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 3: To come and.

1379
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 15: Actually see American history right in front of you. From

1380
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 15: what the vendors have and our items are that the

1381
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:20,599
Speaker 15: vendors have are for sale, some are just for exhibit

1382
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 15: to look at and if you have. Just today, I

1383
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 15: got a phone call from a gentleman who said that

1384
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 15: he recently has some old rifles with bayonets back during

1385
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 15: the Civil War and he would like to find out

1386
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 15: the value of it. So we have plenty of experts

1387
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 15: there that can give him an act, you know, an

1388
01:20:45,400 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 15: estimate on what he has and how much, and if

1389
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 15: he wants to sell, he could do that.

1390
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,919
Speaker 3: This is it's going to be so much fun. And again, folks,

1391
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 3: Mid South Military History and Civil Wars Show. It is

1392
01:20:56,760 --> 01:21:01,560
Speaker 3: the South's oldest military history show at the Landers Center.

1393
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 3: And of course it all starts tomorrow one o'clock to

1394
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 3: six o'clock and then all day Saturday. And you're just

1395
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,759
Speaker 3: fifteen minutes from downtown Memphis. But if you're in the area,

1396
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 3: I have to imagine it's a lot of fun to

1397
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 3: see maybe dads bringing their kids with them and exposing

1398
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:20,759
Speaker 3: their kids to our history.

1399
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 15: Well, you know, that's one of our goals, is trying

1400
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 15: to educate and to reach out to the young people,

1401
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 15: because you know, while we hear the educational system of

1402
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 15: what history's been talked, it's lacking in many cases. One

1403
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 15: thing we have done with some success is have an

1404
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:47,720
Speaker 15: essay contest that and we're going to of course that

1405
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 15: has gone past, and we will recognize the three winners

1406
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 15: of our essay contest in American History on Saturday morning.

1407
01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 3: And so you're going to have is this true? So

1408
01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 3: you're going to have relics. People will be able to

1409
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 3: to see all of this from themselves, going from from

1410
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 3: the Revolutionary War all the way to Vietnam era.

1411
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:12,560
Speaker 15: Yes, that is correct. There's also going to be photographs,

1412
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 15: you know, from the nineteenth century, Civil War, soldiers, civilians,

1413
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 15: other time periods. Paper documents. For example, one paper document

1414
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 15: with a local connection to the Memphis area is during

1415
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 15: the Civil War, there was a family, the Miller family

1416
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 15: of Marshall County, Mississippi. They had cotton confiscated by the

1417
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 15: Confederate Army and the General. It was General Billipig. I

1418
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 15: think that's actually his pronunciation. He signed that the letter

1419
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 15: stating that so much you know cotton was taken from

1420
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 15: him and that's their receipt for some sort of compensation.

1421
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 15: So if you have a happened to be a descendant

1422
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 15: of the Miller family from that part of Mississippi, that

1423
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 15: might be your family.

1424
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 3: This is it's going to be a lot of fun.

1425
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, kids under twelve you get in free,

1426
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 3: and it's very affordable prices. Here what ten dollars for

1427
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:20,560
Speaker 3: adults and a two day past fifteen dollars, that's correct.

1428
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 15: A two day pass for fifteen dollars or you know,

1429
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 15: ten dollars. You purchase all the tickets at the door,

1430
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 15: you know, and it'd be a great time. We have

1431
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 15: a speaker series on Saturday morning from eleven am through

1432
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 15: four pm, and we have five historians that are going

1433
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 15: to talk about on various topics.

1434
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 3: And let me get this straight. So also, you guys

1435
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 3: are doing a huge ceremony on Saturday, and people are

1436
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 3: going to be dressed is this true? They're going to

1437
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:51,520
Speaker 3: be dressed in period uniforms.

1438
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:52,120
Speaker 12: You know.

1439
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,720
Speaker 15: Our show is open Friday one to six pm, but

1440
01:23:55,880 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 15: actually we have the opening ceremony on Saturday monning at

1441
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 15: ten am. It's just easier to get people to show

1442
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 15: up at at ten am or you know, for the

1443
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:10,839
Speaker 15: color guards, we have a twenty minute ceremony with this opening.

1444
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 15: It starts off with bagpipers the Memphis Phoenix Pipe Band,

1445
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 15: followed by color guards dressed in the American uniform from

1446
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 15: the Revolution of the Civil War reenactors following World War

1447
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 15: Two reenactors. And it's about fifteen or twenty minutes, but

1448
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 15: it's very patriotic. Everybody enjoys, you know, this ceremony. It's

1449
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:41,559
Speaker 15: just a nice little break.

1450
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 3: One of the one of the other things I know,

1451
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 3: Doctor Harrison, that you guys are going to have a

1452
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 3: famous artist from the Memphis area, Raymond Wattie, who is

1453
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 3: one of the few aviation artists in the world, and

1454
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 3: he's going to have a there'll be a number of

1455
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 3: his paintings of vintage aircraft that people w be able

1456
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:00,879
Speaker 3: to purchase.

1457
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 15: That is correct. You know, most of his artwork is

1458
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 15: of World War Two airplanes, with some World War One

1459
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:13,360
Speaker 15: and some ships too. But it's a unique.

1460
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 5: Artists.

1461
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 15: There just aren't many aviation artists in the world.

1462
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 3: They're not, they're not. We've got to get to this though,

1463
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 3: because there's a lot happening, of course, and a lot

1464
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 3: of attention being focused on the war in Iran right now,

1465
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 3: and one of the big stories for the first time

1466
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 3: since World War Two, we had a US submarine torpedo

1467
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 3: and Iranian warship just by you know, Providence. You guys

1468
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,719
Speaker 3: are going to be showing a movie about the very

1469
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 3: first submarine to sink an enemy ship during warfare.

1470
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 15: Yes, that's correct. That will be tomorrow Friday at three pm.

1471
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 15: We're showing the movie The Hunley, which is a submarine

1472
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 15: in eighteen sixty four in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina that

1473
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 15: sank the USS Houstontonic and that is the first time

1474
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 15: that a submarine sank an enemy ship in the world.

1475
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 15: So it's it was it's a fascinating movie. I'm sure

1476
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 15: many of you know the story about the Honley. Donald

1477
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 15: Sutherland is prominent role in the movie. The movie lasts

1478
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 15: about an hour and a half, so it's it's it's

1479
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 15: a very good movie, worthwhile scene.

1480
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 3: And you'll be able to buy some popcorn too to

1481
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 3: watch them.

Speaker 15: Have popscorn. There's no extra charge for that. The ten

1483
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 15: dollars gets you in to see everything the vendors have

1484
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 15: to see the movie, and you'll get to talk with

1485
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 15: a lot of people interested in history and things of

1486
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 15: that sort.

1487
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 3: So all right, well, we're gonna have to leave it there,

Speaker 3: Mark Wayne Mullins will is expected to be the new

1512
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:17,599
Speaker 3: Homeland Security Secretary. What a crazy time it is, right

1513
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 3: and look there's just a lot of upheaval right now

1514
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 3: within a Trump world and that you know again, it'll

1515
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 3: all get sorted out. But keep in mind the American

1516
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 3: people still support President Trump overwhelmingly. I think one of

1517
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 3: the big challenges has been that a lot of folks

1518
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 3: when they are named to a cabinet position, they they

1519
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,559
Speaker 3: seem to forget their place in the great scheme of things.

1520
01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 3: Everybody tries to be the next Donald Trump. That's we've

1521
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 3: already got a Donald Trump. We need you cabinet secretaries

1522
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 3: to do the job that you were hired to do.

1523
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 3: So just something to keep in mind. Nine oh one

Speaker 19: Let me put it in perspective for everybody who's a

1568
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:24,640
Speaker 19: little confused. Here, Okay, I work five days out of

1569
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:26,479
Speaker 19: the week, forty hours a week.

1570
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I do not make enough to live on my own.

1571
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 19: I would not make enough to pay rent, water, electric,

1572
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 19: and eat all by myself.

1573
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 2: I would not be capable of doing that.

1574
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 19: Twenty years ago, when you were getting started, you could

1575
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:42,799
Speaker 19: live on your own. Twenty years ago, when you first started,

1576
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 19: you were able to do everything that I am now

1577
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 19: struggling to do. We had another perspective here. You've been

1578
01:31:48,439 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 19: working for twenty years. You have twenty years of working

1579
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 19: experience behind your belt.

1580
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 2: You have twenty.

1581
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 19: Years of experience in a career that has allowed you

1582
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 19: to gain raises, to get more money to profit you, and.

1583
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 2: An economy that you created.

1584
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 19: You can sit here and you can call gen Z

1585
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 19: lazy all you want, But I've been working my tail

1586
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 19: end off just to barely make it by, and restfully,

1587
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 19: I don't want to do that for the.

1588
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:10,799
Speaker 2: Rest of my life.

1589
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 19: I don't want to work my tail end of prating

1590
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 19: all of my life, working just.

1591
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 2: To barely be able to pay my bills. And that

1592
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:20,600
Speaker 2: is what you created, not gen Z.

1593
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 19: You're just here getting started you've been doing it for

1594
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:23,759
Speaker 19: the last twenty years.

1595
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 2: You tell me how it got ruined. We need to

1596
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:26,600
Speaker 2: hear me.

1597
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,400
Speaker 19: Call gen Z lazy all you want, but you let

1598
01:32:28,439 --> 01:32:31,840
Speaker 19: the economy turn into what it did. You lit it

1599
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,760
Speaker 19: all one to hell, and now it's gen Z's fault

1600
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 19: because we don't want to work to fix your mistakes.

1601
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:40,800
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to be critical of someone

1602
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,439
Speaker 3: who's posting videos and clearly going to a lot of work,

1603
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 3: But you got to you gotta worry about those Watch

1604
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 3: those audio levels, right. You don't want the music to overwhelm.

1605
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 3: It was sort of hard to hear and Dylan, I

1606
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 3: started listening to the music, and I really wasn't paying

1607
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 3: attention to what she was whining and crank complaining about it.

1608
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 14: I don't understand why people keep doing that. They add

1609
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 14: the loudest music to their videos.

1610
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 3: So so angry, She's very angry. And look, I mean,

1611
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 3: she's she's concerned because she's working five days a week,

1612
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,640
Speaker 3: she's working forty hours a week, and she says she

1613
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 3: has no money to live on her own. My question

1614
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:21,080
Speaker 3: would be, what kind of job do you have? You know,

1615
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,640
Speaker 3: are you? I mean again, it's a lot of you

1616
01:33:23,760 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 3: went out there and you got these big college degrees

1617
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 3: and you're having to pay back to the student loans

1618
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 3: and all that kind of whatnot. So I'm just curious,

1619
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,759
Speaker 3: first of all, what she's making. And second of all,

1620
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 3: is that a brand new iPhone you were recording on, ma'am?

1621
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:45,120
Speaker 3: Perhaps a landline might be more affordable. Did you have

1622
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:48,160
Speaker 3: avocado toast today? Or did you drink one of those

1623
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 3: grandes or vines at Starbucks? How about some foultures, ma'am?

1624
01:33:53,560 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 3: Got to tay break, will be right back. Oh boy,

1625
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 3: this is not good. So we we just found out.

1626
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 3: We just told you that Christine Ome got fired. Can

01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 19: I can't understand how the news has been dogging gen

1646
01:35:15,640 --> 01:35:17,760
Speaker 19: Z and calling them lazy for not wanting to work

1647
01:35:17,760 --> 01:35:19,240
Speaker 19: a nine to five for the rest of their lives.

1648
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:21,720
Speaker 19: Let me put it into perspective for everybody who's a

1649
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 19: little confused here. Okay, I work five days out of

1650
01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:26,360
Speaker 19: the week, forty hours a week.

1651
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:29,679
Speaker 2: Okay, I do not make enough to live on my own.

1652
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 19: I would not make enough to pay rent, water, electric

1653
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 19: and eat all by myself.

1654
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 2: I would not be capable of doing that.

1655
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 10: Twelve years ago.

1656
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 17: There we go.

1657
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 3: Man, do you guys get a lot of that ever?

1658
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 3: Do you hear from people in that age at route?

1659
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 5: Well, here's what I like to say. We can't save everybody.

1660
01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 20: Oh geezo, I was going to be sarcastica and say

1661
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:55,400
Speaker 20: I actually work eight to six, but that would be

1662
01:35:55,439 --> 01:36:00,640
Speaker 20: hitting the wrong Wow. Yeah, depends on well, you know,

1663
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 20: I think in some part it is valid because you

1664
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 20: have a lot of older generations who are talking about

1665
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 20: what it was like when in their day right and

1666
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 20: not from perspective the good old days, but saying, oh, well,

1667
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:12,479
Speaker 20: you know, the value of the DAR used to be

1668
01:36:12,520 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 20: able to buy this, this, and this well, and that's

1669
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,280
Speaker 20: just not the same as it was back in nineteen

1670
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,600
Speaker 20: eighty five. So that does have an impact of my

1671
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 20: generation because we see that, we're like, okay, where's where's

1672
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 20: that supposed to be for us?

1673
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,719
Speaker 3: Well, we weren't buying a you know, a five dollars

1674
01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 3: cup of coffee either or not to an avocado toast.

1675
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I think at some point, just have a

1676
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 5: you know, self reflection, look at yourself in the mirror

1677
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 5: and say what am I doing that isn't working and

1678
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 5: what do I need to do to pivot?

1679
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:38,759
Speaker 3: And if that mirror is in a brand new Tesla,

1680
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 3: that might be a clue.

1681
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 13: That'll be a strong indicator.

1682
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 3: I want to say, if you're recording on a brand

1683
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:47,280
Speaker 3: new Ivonte. By the way, I've been getting so much

1684
01:36:47,360 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 3: grief over the past two weeks. Apparently the only person

1685
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:53,240
Speaker 3: that still has the old iPhone. I haven't upgraded yet.

1686
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,040
Speaker 5: I'm pretty old. I think this is a fourteen.

1687
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 3: I think that's what mine is, all right, I don't

1688
01:36:58,360 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 3: feel as bad now.

1689
01:36:59,720 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 5: How do you How do you keep making money you

1690
01:37:01,800 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 5: don't spend it on frivolous things?

1691
01:37:03,760 --> 01:37:04,320
Speaker 3: Exactly.

1692
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,360
Speaker 4: There's a gentleman our firm who still has his flip phone.

1693
01:37:06,400 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 4: He was showing it off at our annual conference last week,

1694
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna say I'm kind of jealous, just the

1695
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 4: simplicity of it.

1696
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:13,519
Speaker 3: So, you know what's funny, a lot of people said,

1697
01:37:13,520 --> 01:37:15,599
Speaker 3: we're one of the few national shows. We actually gave

1698
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:18,640
Speaker 3: up our eight hundred number, and because I realized everybody's

1699
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 3: calling in on a smartphone and they don't have to

1700
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 3: pay the long distance, right, So it was costing us

1701
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 3: I think five or six hundred dollars a month to

1702
01:37:26,360 --> 01:37:28,840
Speaker 3: have a toll free line. So we just said, why

1703
01:37:28,840 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 3: don't we just use the one we've already got and

1704
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 3: saved you know, five six hundred bucks. So yeah, to

1705
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:39,640
Speaker 3: your point, guys, today we're doing a study on insurance

1706
01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,839
Speaker 3: and by the way, if you have questions for the fellas,

1707
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 3: they're having to answer your questions. Nine oh one two

1708
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one

1709
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 3: two six zero five, nine two six. So you guys

1710
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,720
Speaker 3: have concocted a hypothetical scenario.

1711
01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 4: Here, absolutely, So we want to make sure that people

1712
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 4: kind of get an idea of the types of people

1713
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 4: that we held and the types of situations we encounter

1714
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 4: in the day to day at our firm. And so

1715
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 4: we've taken a couple of different examples that we've seen

1716
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 4: and kind of taken some common denominators, and today we

1717
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 4: want to talk about, let's call it a twenty four

1718
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:16,719
Speaker 4: year old male who was introduced to his parents' financial advisor,

1719
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 4: which is something we see quite often, right you using

1720
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:21,719
Speaker 4: who your parents use. And again this is for educational

1721
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 4: purposes only. It's a hypothetical scenario. But so let's say

1722
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:29,719
Speaker 4: that advisor specializes primarily in retirement income or in retirement

1723
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 4: income planning, so typically working with individuals in their pre

1724
01:38:32,320 --> 01:38:35,320
Speaker 4: retirement or retirement years. And this twenty four year old

1725
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 4: mail that this client gets in touch with him because

1726
01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 4: you know, he's it's who his parents used. Well, in

1727
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:44,679
Speaker 4: this hypothetical example, So the advisor recommends the exact same

1728
01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:47,920
Speaker 4: insurance product to this twenty four year old that had

1729
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:50,200
Speaker 4: previously been recommended to his parents, who are in the

1730
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 4: mid fifties and already todd We're seeing some issues there, like, okay, well,

1731
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 4: what are the ends and now that out of this

1732
01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 4: product and all that. Adam explained that here in a second.

1733
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 4: So this product is relatively costly, long term and structure,

1734
01:39:03,160 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 4: and would not really provide a meaningful benefit for many years,

1735
01:39:06,760 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 4: while it would include a death benefit, which the young

1736
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 4: man says he would want directed to his parents, although

1737
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 4: they are not financially dependent on him. He wants ultimately

1738
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:19,760
Speaker 4: to have an efficient method of growth, and this might

1739
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 4: not exactly present you know, present that with him with

1740
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:25,000
Speaker 4: that option, you.

1741
01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 5: Know, in this hypothetical scenario. The things that stand out

1742
01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 5: to me is that there's two different stages of life here.

1743
01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:35,799
Speaker 5: We've got some that are approaching retirement or near term retirement,

1744
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 5: and the other one's got a long runway ahead of them.

1745
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 5: Where we would typically see that being a growth oriented client,

1746
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 5: you know, somebody who is more concerned with compounding interest

1747
01:39:45,479 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 5: over the long term. Obviously, there is a need for

1748
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 5: some death benefit if they want to start a family,

1749
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:53,640
Speaker 5: or they're going to take on some debt, and you know,

1750
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:55,800
Speaker 5: one of the things that we would do is sit

1751
01:39:55,880 --> 01:40:00,240
Speaker 5: down and say what's most important to you. And in

1752
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 5: this hypothetical, the advisor uses it as a blanket to say, Hey,

1753
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:08,200
Speaker 5: I service your parents, We're gonna give you the same thing.

1754
01:40:08,280 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 5: So it was a one size fits all scenario where

1755
01:40:11,680 --> 01:40:14,519
Speaker 5: we don't necessarily think that that's the right path. We

1756
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 5: think we should be asking these qualified questions. We should

1757
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 5: be saying, hey, if I can get you an insurance

1758
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 5: that is very very cheap term insurance that covers your

1759
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 5: basis for while you're in your working years, but we

1760
01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 5: can use the money that you would be spending on

1761
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,519
Speaker 5: this this product that your parents have and put that

1762
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 5: in the market. You know, let's grow that at a

1763
01:40:34,640 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 5: at a competitive rate. And then let's continue having our

1764
01:40:38,439 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 5: meetings on an annual basis and say, hey, what's changed.

1765
01:40:41,439 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 5: You know, your your situation is never static, it's fluid.

1766
01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 5: It's gonna change, so we want to make sure as

1767
01:40:46,960 --> 01:40:48,600
Speaker 5: you change, we're changing with you.

1768
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:50,800
Speaker 4: And Todd, I'm glad that you showed that TikTok earlier

1769
01:40:50,840 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 4: because it kind of goes into this exact scenario. It's

1770
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:57,400
Speaker 4: the comparison element. Right in this scenario we see you know,

1771
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 4: applying the same strategy or the same viewpoint of you know,

1772
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:03,600
Speaker 4: the situations of your parents or an order individual. It

1773
01:41:03,680 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 4: raises questions about alignment of like, Okay, well, they had

1774
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 4: different goals back then, they had different scenarios and situations

1775
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 4: to what you're encountering on the day today, and so

1776
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 4: financial recommendation should really reflect time horizon, cashlow needs, risk tolerance,

1777
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 4: and really just any stated objectives or goals.

1778
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 3: We've got Anna Martin and Chris loftus with us from

1779
01:41:24,479 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 3: Strategic Financial Partners. They come in once a week and

1780
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 3: answer your questions about finances and insurance. Strategic Financialpartners dot

1781
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:38,679
Speaker 3: com is the website that Strategic Financialpartners dot com. So again,

1782
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 3: it just seems like what's good for mom and dad

1783
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,360
Speaker 3: may not necessarily be what's good for the twenty four

1784
01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:46,840
Speaker 3: year old of the twenty five year old.

1785
01:41:47,200 --> 01:41:49,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd like to go back to that TikTok and

1786
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:55,559
Speaker 5: basically I want to challenge young listeners to be creative,

1787
01:41:55,600 --> 01:41:58,759
Speaker 5: think for yourself, think about what the next forty fifty

1788
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:00,880
Speaker 5: years looks like for you. I know that's hard because

1789
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,519
Speaker 5: we can't even really understand what this weekend is looking like.

1790
01:42:03,600 --> 01:42:06,479
Speaker 5: But when you think about what do you want to

1791
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 5: have freedom wise, what do you want to make sure

1792
01:42:09,880 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 5: that you can sleep soundly at night?

1793
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 13: How do we do that?

1794
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:15,880
Speaker 5: Well, it starts with a conversation. That's what we're here

1795
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,719
Speaker 5: to do. We want to sit down and say, what else,

1796
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:20,600
Speaker 5: what else? What else? What's important to you?

1797
01:42:20,680 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 13: What else?

1798
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:24,200
Speaker 5: And then by the time we get dumb gathering data

1799
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 5: in facts, we're gonna be able to open up the

1800
01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 5: universe of different products, whether it's insurance, whether it's investing.

1801
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 5: You know, we'll be able to accurately put a plan together.

1802
01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,679
Speaker 5: And as cliche as it sounds, it's a treasure map.

1803
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:40,840
Speaker 5: You know. We x marks the spot. You're gonna have

1804
01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 5: some peaks and valleys, You're gonna have some collapsing bridges.

1805
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 5: There's gonna be some uh oh moments what we always

1806
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:49,920
Speaker 5: have to pivot on. But you will know for certain

1807
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 5: that you'll be able to accomplish your financial goals by

1808
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:53,719
Speaker 5: working with a financial advisor.

1809
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 4: And yeah, Todd's something I want to add to that again.

1810
01:42:56,560 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 4: Adam was talking about the beginning of our process of

1811
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,800
Speaker 4: what that looks like. When somebody comes and calls us,

1812
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:05,760
Speaker 4: specifically with situations and scenarios like this, we started all

1813
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:07,400
Speaker 4: the same way. We sit down with them and we

1814
01:43:07,439 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 4: conduct a full fact finding session. Again it's it's Complemary.

1815
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:13,720
Speaker 4: It takes about fifteen twenty minutes and we just get

1816
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 4: some basic numbers, so that's you know, income, you know,

1817
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 4: employment stability. We talk about their monthly expenses, that they're

1818
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 4: existing savings, any debt obligations or emergency reserves they might have,

1819
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 4: and then we perform in needs based analysis and a

1820
01:43:27,439 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 4: formal risk assessment, and this allows us to determine, you know,

1821
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:33,559
Speaker 4: whether insurance is necessary or not, how much coverage is appropriate,

1822
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:36,040
Speaker 4: and then what type of coverage best aligns with those goals.

1823
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:38,880
Speaker 13: And then of course we identify the.

1824
01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 4: Short term, the immediate term, and the long term priorities

1825
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 4: where that's you know, maximize efficient growth atom. Obviously we'll

1826
01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 4: talk about time in the market or versus time out

1827
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 4: of the market. But then you know, importantly this process

1828
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:54,360
Speaker 4: is educational because it empowers the client to make informed

1829
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 4: decisions about their personal plan, not what everybody else is doing.

1830
01:43:57,520 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 3: All right, Before we get out of here guy, I

1831
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:03,479
Speaker 3: think it's important for us to give a good financial

1832
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 3: principle for our listeners to think about this week. Adam,

1833
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:09,400
Speaker 3: I'll let you start.

1834
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 5: So the one of the best principles that I can

1835
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 5: just stress is that what gets measured gets done. You know,

1836
01:44:18,280 --> 01:44:20,559
Speaker 5: don't throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.

1837
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 5: You know, measure it. If you've got a budget, monitor it.

1838
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:27,879
Speaker 5: You know, if things change, well, how did that affect

1839
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,360
Speaker 5: my cash flow? Or if I'm not getting the ready

1840
01:44:30,400 --> 01:44:34,080
Speaker 5: of return in my portfolio to meet the goals that

1841
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 5: I want, what am I doing to make sure that

1842
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 5: I'm pivoting? So always be cognitantve where you're at, what's changed,

1843
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 5: and then make sure you're making those a necessary changes.

1844
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 4: I'll keep a short and sweet toime. Strategies should evolve

1845
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 4: as your life evolves. You know, It's that simple.

1846
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:48,639
Speaker 8: It should.

1847
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,679
Speaker 4: You know, your strategies can not remain static or mirror

1848
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 4: someone else's situation. They should be tailored directly and exactly

1849
01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:54,640
Speaker 4: to you.

1850
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:57,840

1863
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 3: on your mind?

1864
01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 11: Well, even Brinkitas is he going to stop me and

1865
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 11: give me a couple points? Todd, I appreciate taking it all.

1866
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 11: As far as Christinome, she kind of got ahead of herself,

1867
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 11: got to be a little bit narcissistic, and she just

1868
01:46:07,800 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 11: I think she's a capable person, but she, you know,

1869
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 11: she got fell in the thing that all publicity is

1870
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 11: good publicity, and it got kind of rough. That was

1871
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:23,479
Speaker 11: my one comment about Christinome, the one I really wanted

1872
01:46:23,520 --> 01:46:26,360
Speaker 11: to talk about just for a second, was I thought,

1873
01:46:26,400 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 11: after I heard HAKEM. Jefferies say that despicable thing that

1874
01:46:29,960 --> 01:46:35,240
Speaker 11: we're going to lose, the military will not win. On

1875
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:38,360
Speaker 11: one of the Morning Joe's, they had a gentleman named

1876
01:46:38,439 --> 01:46:42,479
Speaker 11: Jonathan Lemire who with a smile on his face that

1877
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:46,760
Speaker 11: this is the quote, is the casualties rise and the

1878
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 11: war goes on. I think this is the opportunity for

1879
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 11: the Democrats to tie this around the Republicans in the

1880
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 11: midterms and possibly twenty twenty eight. And I thought that

1881
01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 11: was about the grossest thing I heard with a smirk

1882
01:47:01,400 --> 01:47:05,280
Speaker 11: on his face talking about as the casualties rise in

1883
01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:06,000
Speaker 11: the war goes on.

1884
01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, there's there's going to be a lot of

1885
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 3: ugliness Gary coming from the Democrats. Not terribly not terribly

1886
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:17,760
Speaker 3: surprised at their behavior.

1887
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 8: You know.

1888
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:21,679
Speaker 3: The thing about Christinome, I think you're right, she got

1889
01:47:22,320 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 3: too big for her birches, as we say in the

1890
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:30,599
Speaker 3: Southern States. And the first time she showed up where

1891
01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 3: you know, she was all glamorized with makeup and nails

1892
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,080
Speaker 3: and hair, and I think she was going on one

1893
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:40,160
Speaker 3: of those big ice rays. I thought, oh boy, oh boy,

1894
01:47:40,200 --> 01:47:43,000
Speaker 3: this is not going to end well. And unfortunately it

1895
01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 3: did not end well for her, and I you know,

1896
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 3: I hate that for her. But that's that's the reality

1897
01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:52,599
Speaker 3: of it. Had she just done her job, but you're right,

1898
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 3: she did not. But she did not do her job.

1899
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,040
Speaker 3: You know, there were a lot of major missteps along

1900
01:47:59,040 --> 01:48:03,320
Speaker 3: the way. One of the other challenges there is the

1901
01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:05,559
Speaker 3: fact that she was spending what two hundred and twenty

1902
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 3: million dollars on an advertising campaign, and the administration. That's

1903
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,080
Speaker 3: when President Trump stepped in and said, Okay, this is

1904
01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 3: out of control. I mean so, so she basically is

1905
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:21,960
Speaker 3: getting what she deserved, unfortunately. So my only concern now

1906
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,759
Speaker 3: is if she's going to go back to that farm.

1907
01:48:25,120 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 3: And I just pray to the Good Lord there earned

1908
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 3: any goats or dogs around, just saying, all right, Gary,

1909
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 3: I hope you get to feel them better. You know

1910
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about, Dylan, You're terrible.

1911
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 13: No, it's true though, I mean, I know it's true,

1912
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 13: but that's just.

1913
01:48:43,040 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 3: I'm a friend of the farm animals, you know. I

1914
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:47,000
Speaker 3: just want the best for you.

1915
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:47,720
Speaker 13: You look out for him.

1916
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:50,880
Speaker 3: Oh, you guys have to hear this. This is Minnesota

1917
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:54,800
Speaker 3: State Representative Athena Hollands. She's a Democrat.

1918
01:48:55,120 --> 01:48:57,280
Speaker 2: I'm coming at this from my heart and not from

1919
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:57,719
Speaker 2: my brain.

1920
01:48:58,200 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 3: You know, that is the official that's the official policy

1921
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:07,639
Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party. It's all coming from the heart

1922
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 3: and not from the brain. You gotta love it. Unbelievable.

1923
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 5: All right.

1924
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

1925
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,519
Speaker 3: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six

1926
01:49:16,680 --> 01:49:18,720
Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six. I want to get in

1927
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 3: this audio from Pat Fallon, who was really laying out

1928
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 3: Governor Tim Waltz and explaining what's really going on with

1929
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 3: Minnesota's Somali population Cut eleven.

1930
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:32,480
Speaker 21: Walt do you believe the seventy thousand strong Somali community

1931
01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 21: as a whole has made a positive impact on your state?

1932
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:37,640
Speaker 8: I do so.

1933
01:49:37,960 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 21: You'd be the opinion fair to say that the smaller

1934
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 21: community has successfully assimilated and is making Minnesota better.

1935
01:49:43,640 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 13: Yeah. I believe they're on that path.

1936
01:49:45,160 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 21: Yes, I'm just curious about what metric you'd come to

1937
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:50,519
Speaker 21: that conclusion. I just looked at some hard data, and

1938
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,120
Speaker 21: do you have any idea what percentage of the native

1939
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:55,960
Speaker 21: born Minnesota's all races live in poverty.

1940
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:58,479
Speaker 13: In your state? Right now? I don't have specifically, I'll

1941
01:49:58,479 --> 01:49:58,800
Speaker 13: share it with you.

1942
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:01,320
Speaker 21: It's eight percent. For the small community, it's fifty two percent.

1943
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 21: How about receiving food stamps, don't all right, I'll run

1944
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 21: it down with you. It's seven percent and then in

1945
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:10,280
Speaker 21: the compared to fifty four percent in the smaller community.

1946
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:14,040
Speaker 21: And then don't have it, don't have at least a

1947
01:50:14,080 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 21: high school diploma. For all Minnesotas, it's five percent. Smile

1948
01:50:16,840 --> 01:50:20,240
Speaker 21: of community's thirty nine percent one family member at least

1949
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 21: on Medicaid, it's eighteen percent for Minnesota, seventy three percent

1950
01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:27,000
Speaker 21: for the Smiley community. And receiving welfare of some form

1951
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:30,240
Speaker 21: it's twenty one percent, and it's eighty one percent for

1952
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:31,200
Speaker 21: the Somali community.

1953
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 13: And do you, governor, do you having to know.

1954
01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 21: What the percentages of all those who have currently been

1955
01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 21: charged in this staggering social services fraud scheme were a

1956
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:41,240
Speaker 21: native born Minnesota's one.

1957
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 13: Percentage I do not have.

1958
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:44,960
Speaker 21: I think it was eighty five and eight, which comes

1959
01:50:44,960 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 21: out to thirteen percent Minnesota and eighty seven percent Somali Minnesotan.

1960
01:50:50,120 --> 01:50:51,680
Speaker 13: So I think this is an instance.

1961
01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:54,040
Speaker 21: Perhaps where we'll get slept by data. A governor, there's

1962
01:50:54,080 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 21: been billions stolen over seven plus years, right under your nose, and.

1963
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:58,280
Speaker 13: Really there's only two explanations.

1964
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:00,400
Speaker 21: It's either you were in on it, or you weren't

1965
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 21: smart enough to see it. It's either criminal negligence or

1966
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 21: wild incompetence. And the only way this kind of fraud

1967
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:11,920
Speaker 21: can reach this scale is if there's people in power

1968
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 21: that are colluding and collaborating and willfully blinding themselves to

1969
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 21: the realities around them and in oversight. When we do investigations,

1970
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:23,599
Speaker 21: it's rare for us to have whistleblowers because it's they

1971
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 21: face retribution and punishment and resentment, and they can be ostracized,

1972
01:51:29,040 --> 01:51:32,120
Speaker 21: and it's difficult, and it's uncomfortable and sometimes it's even dangerous.

1973
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:34,439
Speaker 13: So when we have an when we're.

1974
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:37,880
Speaker 21: Having investigation and we have even a couple of whistleblowers,

1975
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:42,080
Speaker 21: it's very valuable to us because they provide invaluable insight.

1976
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 21: Do you have any idea how many whistleblowers are working

1977
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:48,520
Speaker 21: from Minnesota or working with the Overset Committee?

1978
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:49,200
Speaker 11: I do not.

1979
01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:51,760
Speaker 14: We have our own strong protections in the OLA, the
