13
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: to have the President in Memphis for really an incredible celebration,

14
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: and it ought to be a celebration. This president has

15
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: been able to come in and take the deadliest city

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: in America and make it one of the safest cities

17

00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,199
Speaker 3: of course the President holding a big round table there

20
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: at the Tennessee National Guard Armory that's over near the airport,

21
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: and I have to tell you it was really something

22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 3: else to watch Air Force one flying into Memphis International Airport.

23
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: Of course, Memphis also the world headquarters for fat X,

24
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: and to see Air Force one by all of those

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: FedEx jetliners, it really was something to behold. Yesterday. There

26
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: were I would say, maybe I'm bad with numbers, maybe

27
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: about a thousand or so people there, most of them

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: members of the Memphis Safe Task Force, a lot of

29
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: National Guard troops there. And let me tell you something,

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 3: they loved this president and they just really really gave

31
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: him a warm welcome to Memphis as the president sort

32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: of on a victory tour. By the way, the president

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: also got to drop by Graceland and got a private tour.

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: Never in my life did I expect to see the

35
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 3: President of the United States in the jungle room at Graceland,

36
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: but that that's exactly what happens. So anyway, great to

37
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 3: see the President yesterday. He is in good spirits. He's

38
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: in a great mood and I think really fired up

39
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: for the task at hand. And there are a lot

40
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: of a lot of things happening around the country. By

41
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: the way, I want you to write down our telephone number.

42
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: You're going to need this if you plan on calling

43
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: into the program today. Nine oh one two six zero

44
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six

45
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: zero five, nine two six. Now, before we get into

46
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: the big story over these nine to eleven memorials that

47
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: are being desercated, I've got some intel to share with

48
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: you from our friends over at just the News. Now

49
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: we're moving into a very interesting period of time in

50
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: our country, and let me explain what's going on. There

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: are a lot of moving parts here, and I know

52
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: a lot of you are very concerned about the war

53
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: in Iran where all of that is going. The President

54
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: backing away yesterday, the President had given a deadline for

55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: the Iranians to reopen the strait of horror moves. By

56
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: the way, Dylan, there's a very clever there's a very

57
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: clever meme on how to pronounce the phrase horr moves.

58
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: It involves a moose and a former vice president of

59
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: these great United States. That's all I'm gonna say. But

60
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: I did chuckle. I chuckled just a smidge. So the

61
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: President back to wave from all of that, and now

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: I think he's given them out one five days they're

63
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: having all these back channel talks and whatever they very

64
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: well may be. Look, I'm not in the room. I

65
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: don't know, so I'm going to take my president's word

66
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: at it. But here's the deal. Iran said, if you

67
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: come after our electrical grid, we're coming after your water.

68
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: Talking about the water, all of these water plants in

69
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: the Middle East, I think ninety percent of the water

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: they yet come from these treatment plants. And if those

71
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: get bombed, then you've got a massive disaster on your hands.

72
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: And something tells me that we haven't. Yes, we've obliterated Iran,

73
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: but we haven't completely obliterated Iran. And therefore there's some

74
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 3: concern here that Iran may have the resources necessary to

75
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: carry out those those kinds of attacks. But a lot

76
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 3: of folks now are wondering, Okay, what exactly what is

77
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: the mission over there? Right? I mean, if you sit

78
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: back and you just kind of ask, are we doing

79
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: like regime change or are we just using up a

80
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: lot of our missiles? Are we given are are we

81
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: giving the air force some flying hours? What exactly are

82
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: we doing over there? And is it working? I think

83
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 3: is the other question. So just a lot of people

84
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: have questions about this. Now, look, the polling data shows

85
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: that the Magabase, at least the polling data that's out

86
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: there so far, shows that everybody is behind Trump on

87
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: this one hundred percent according to one poll. And that

88
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: may be the case, but people certainly have a lot

89
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: of questions about how all of this is playing out. Now,

90
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: the other part of this, we've got the elections coming

91
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: up and everything that is about to happen. You just

92
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: need to understand this. Everything that is about to happen,

93
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: all the compromises that are about to happen, are because

94
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: the Republicans fear that they are going to lose, and

95
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: they are going to lose bigly in the midterms. Now,

96
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: I would contend that if the Republicans just do as

97
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: they said they would do when we gave them our votes,

98
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: then they would be just fine. But there are just

99
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: a lot of shenanigans going on, and we're going to

100
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: try to talk about this. There's so many shenanigans we

101
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: can't even talk about all of them on today's show.

102
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: But anyway, this is the headline from Justin News. Senate

103
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: Republicans say President Trump is reportedly prepared to compromise with

104
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: Democrats to reopen the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS

105
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: shut down over a partisan funding dispute. The President indicated

106
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: during a two hour meeting at the White House. This

107
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: all happened Monday night after he got back from Memphis.

108
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: A willingness to make a deal to reopen without fully

109
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: funding Immigration and Customs enforcement now GOP senators came out

110
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: of that meeting, and they immediately leaked all of the

111
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: details to The Hill newspaper. Congress has agreed to spending

112
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: bills over the past several months to keep the federal

113
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 3: government fully operational except for DHS. Senate Democrats are withholding

114
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: their votes to fully fund the agency until reforms are

115
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: made to immigration enforcement tactics. A Senate Republican source said

116
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: Trump is now willing to separate funding for enforcement and

117
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: removal operations to get enough Democrat support. Per the proposal,

118
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: Senate Republicans would pass additional moneies for ICE's removal operations

119
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: under the budget reconciliation process. Senate Republicans also told Trump

120
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: they would attempt to pass elements of the Save Act

121
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: in the follow up reconciliation bill. Katie Britt the Senate

122
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: she's the chairwoman of the Homeland Security Appropriation Subcommittee. She

123
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: told reporters that Republicans believe they have a path to

124
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: ending the shutdown, which is right now in day thirty nine.

125
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: The President yesterday in Memphis said the Save Act and

126
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: DHS appropriations Bill should be combined into one large bill.

127
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 3: The President said, we want voter ID, we want proof

128
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: of citizenship as part of our funding. We want to

129
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: merge them so we can get the great, big beautiful

130
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: bill in action. I guess we're getting ready to do

131
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: another big beautiful bill here. So look, here's the deal, folks. Now,

132
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: if if we can somehow incorporate all of this into

133
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: the Save America Act and get that through the door,

134
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: then okay, that's a pretty good deal. But that's not

135
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 3: going to happen. The Democrats are not going to allow

136
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: that to happen. So here's what I predict is going

137
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 3: to happen. Nothing. The Senate is going to the Republicans

138
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: are going to cave. They're they're going to relent, and

139
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: they're going to make some sort of a deal with

140
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: the Democrats here on the ice on the DHS funding,

141
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: and they're still not going to do anything when it

142
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: comes to the Save America Act. Now, let me just

143
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: say this, it's a bad move. It is an incredibly

144
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: bad move. The Republicans. What they ought to be doing

145
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: is they ought to be they ought to be outside

146
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: literally every single airport in America with voter registration cards,

147
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: and they ought to be handing those to all of

148
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: the people. I mean, they're standing out of the garages

149
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: of these these airports, give them voter registration cards and

150
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: explain to them that the reason why there they're going

151
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: to be four hours in a line to get to

152
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: spring break is because of the policies of the Democrats.

153
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 3: But we haven't done any of that. Nobody's done anything.

154
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: It's it's really overwhelming to me that the Republicans continue

155
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: to miss these opportunities to say the Democrats are the

156
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: ones who hate you, the Democrats are the ones that

157
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: want to make you suffer, because that's what's going on here.

158
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, Senator Chris Murphy actually said

159
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: the quiet part out loud.

160
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,239
Speaker 4: The negotiation didn't have a path of citizenship.

161
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 5: It was entirely on their terms in order to get

162
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: Ukraine funding.

163
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 6: Right.

164
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for

165
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: twenty years. So you are right that that has been

166
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 4: the Democratic strategy for thirty years maybe, and it has

167
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: failed to deliver for the people we care about most,

168
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: to the undocumented Americans that are in this country.

169
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 3: And there you go. The people we care about most

170
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 3: are the undocted migrants. So that would be the illegal aliens.

171
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: That is Senator Chris Murphy, the Democrat telling you what

172
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: this is really all about. They don't care about you.

173
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: They don't care all you black folks that they don't

174
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: care about you. The Democrat Party doesn't care about you.

175
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 3: They want you chain to the plantation work in their fields.

176
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: Asian Americans. Democrats don't care about you, Hispanics, they don't

177
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 3: care about you. All they care about are the illegal aliens.

178
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: And they're on the record. This was not some sort

179
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: of a foot in mouth moment. They're actually bold enough

180
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 3: now to say the quiet part out loud. They literally

181
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: hate you, America. That's why they want to bring in

182
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: new people. They want to bring in the illegals, and

183
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 3: that's what they've done. All Right, We've got a lot

184
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 3: of ground to cover today, Ladies and gentlemen. Our telephone

185

Speaker 3: Starting off the day with this question, do you want

187
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: the Republicans to compromise here? Do you want your president

188
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: to strike a deal with the Democrats that would not

189
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: fund immigration Customs Enforcement Officers? Nine oh one two six

Speaker 3: four four nineteen hundred, Say the word Starns or visit

206
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: phdweightloss dot com. That's phdweightloss dot com. The phone number

207
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 3: one more time eight six four sixty four four nineteen

208
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: hundred and say starns all right, getting reports from really

209
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 3: all over the country now where where ICE agents have

210
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: been deployed to at least fourteen different airports around the

211
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: country so far. And what is fascinating about all of

212
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: this is that the lines went from like three to

213
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: four hours. For example, at Hartsfield Jackson in Atlanta, the

214
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: lines went three to four hours all the way down

215
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: to under an hour as those ICE agents were deployed

216
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: and getting people through the TSA checkpoints. And I know

217
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 3: the media and the Democrats are going bonkers crazy right now.

218
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, there were report, there was

219
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: reporting on CNN they were afraid that ICE agents were

220
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: going to start opening fire on airline passengers. It's the

221
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: most ludicrous thing I've ever heard of my life. But

222
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 3: now not only are ICE agents manning the TSA checkpoints,

223
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: they've also been been able to arrest to apprehend some

224
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: of these illegal aliens that have been in the country.

225
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: So well done, well done, ICE agents. Good for you guys.

226
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

227
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six,

228
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: zero five to nine to six. There is an interesting

229
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: story about Tucker Carlson, and I'm just curious if we

230
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: have any longtime Tucker Carlson fans out there, and have

231
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: you changed your opinion of Tucker. You know, certainly has

232
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 3: changed his opinions on virtually everything from from Israel, from

233
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: President Trump, to what happened with Charlie Kirk and now

234
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: of course with Islam, and Tucker Carlson is now suggesting

235
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: that that Islamic societies are more advanced than the West.

236
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: And coming up at the bottom of the hour, when

237
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: we come back from that break, we're going to play

238
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: a longer form clip of what Tucker Carlson had to say.

239
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 3: But Tucker is is now suggesting that the reason why

240
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: the Muslims are blowing all of us up is because

241
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: of colonialism. I want you to take a listen to

242
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: cut five.

243
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: And you notice, like in the in Isis or al Qaeda,

244
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 5: like the Muslim extremists, they're all from like collapsed, pathetic

245
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 5: societies dominated by colonial powers. They've been degraded and that's

246
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: why they're so angry, right, So there's something about being

247
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 5: degraded that turns you into a violent nutcase extremist. And

248
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 5: you're seeing a lot of violent nutcase extremists in our country.

249
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 5: Not surprising because the country's being degraded.

250
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: Do you agree or disagree with what Tunker just said there? Now,

251
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: keep in mind, if you want to go back and

252
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: you want to talk about colonialism, which the British were

253
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: heavily engaged in, Okay, fine, let's have that conversation. Because

254
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: when the British did occupy a nation, the well being

255
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 3: of those in the nation actually did improve. When you

256
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: look at the Commonwealth, the countries that were a part

257
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: of the British Commonwealth back in the day and to

258
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: this day, by and large, these countries improved as a

259
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: result of their relationships with the United Kingdom. But Tucker

260
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: is out there now suggesting that somehow all of us

261
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: are to blame for all of these Muslims going out

262
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: there and blowing us up and killing us and beheading us.

263
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: And the reality is that the Muslims have been doing

264
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: this for centuries, go all the way back to the

265
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: seventh century, go all the way back. In The problem

266
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 3: here is we are not teaching Islamic history. You know,

267
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: the idea that the Muslims were, you know, we're invited

268
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: into countries to take over peacefully is simply not true.

269
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, the Islamists have a very

270
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: long history of invading and conquering nations, going all the

271
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: way back to at least the sixth or seventh century.

272
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 3: Christians and Jews were slaughtered by the Muslims, and by

273
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: the way, the cultural heritage of those conquered nations was destroyed.

274
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: And we've seen this play out in real time in

275
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: places like Afghanistan and Iraq. But look at what's happening

276
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 3: here in America where you had a situation in New

277
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 3: York City where Muslim prayer rugs were thrown over a

278
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 3: memorial so firefighters who were killed on nine to eleven.

279
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: We have a photograph of it at Todd Sterns dot com.

280
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: I encourage you to go and look at it. It

281
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: will enrage you. And the Muslims were like, oh, don't

282
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: read anything into this really, because I know exactly what

283
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 3: I'm reading into it, and conquered California. There's a cemetery there,

284
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: the Memorial Garden cemetery. The Muslims draped a banner over

285
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 3: a nine to eleven memorial and the Muslims said, APSI

286
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,239
Speaker 3: ore byad No. I don't believe it was an oopsieve

287
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: it was an our pad. I believe that the Islamists

288
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 3: are sending a message when Zora and Mamdami is removing

289
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: all the chairs and throwing out prayer rugs in City

290
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 3: Hall and New York City, just a block away from

291
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: where the World Trade Center towers were blown up by

292
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: Islamic radicals in the name of the religion of peace.

293
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 3: I got a big problem with that. But I'm telling

294
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: you they're sending messages here when they do things like this,

295
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: when they desecrate a memorial to firefighters, or when they

296
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: desecrate a memorial inside a cemetery. This is not happenstance.

297
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 3: This is not some sort of an oopsie moment. I

298
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: believe these are very intentional acts meant to send a message.

299
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: Understand this. When you look at and the social media

300
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: platformforms are filled with videos of Muslims taking over public

301
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: spaces with their prayer rugs and playing praying. That is

302
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: not normal in Muslim countries. As a matter of fact,

303
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: in Muslim countries, doing something like that ladies and gentlemen,

304
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: that is considered to be rude, to be offensive, but

305
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: if you are an invading force, when you do something

306
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: like that, you are sending a message that the land

307
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: you are on has been conquered in the name of

308
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: the prophet Muhammed. All right, we've got to take a break.

309
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

310
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,119

330
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: So let me give you a load out. One happen here.

331
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: This is just a crazy story. And conquered California. There

332
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 3: was there's a funeral, a little cemetery out there, and

333
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: they have a nine to eleven memorial. It's called the

334
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: Memory Garden cemetery and conquered California and family showed up

335
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 3: to place flowers on the grave sites of their loved ones,

336
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 3: and they realized Holy Cow Muslims had draped a banner

337
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 3: over the nine to eleven memorial. Take a listen.

338
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 7: The banner advertised an Islamic garden of peace.

339
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 8: To see that sign on that memorial was kindly not

340
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 8: good in my thoughts.

341
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 7: The Kimmels are a Blue Star family. Danny's older brother

342
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 7: was killed in Vietnam. He says his mother would have

343
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 7: been rolling in her grave if she saw the banner.

344
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: She wouldn't just roll over, She'd get up and walk.

345
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 7: Danny's sister in law agrees. She says they're incredibly patriotic

346
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 7: and calls the banner's placement insensitive.

347
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 3: There's room for everybody, but just have a little respect.

348
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 5: We're gonna put your things.

349
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 7: The owner of the cemetery says he recently sold a

350
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,479
Speaker 7: portion of the property to an Islami family who plans

351
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 7: to open a memorial garden. He says he gave them

352
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 7: permission to put up signage, but did not authorize them

353
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 7: to drape it over the nine to eleven installation, and

354
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 7: as soon as he learned about it, he ordered it removed.

355
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 7: Workers took it down right after they asked us to

356
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 7: leave the cemetery.

357
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: I'm glad they took it down, and hopefully they won't

358
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: be putting anything else up like that.

359
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 7: We talked to another man whose grandfather is buried at

360
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 7: memory gardens. He says it was especially hurtful as we

361
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 7: prepare to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the nine

362
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 7: to eleven attacks.

363
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 9: It really caught me off guard, and I just think

364
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 9: that's a sacred place for people that are buried there.

365
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 7: He says, taking the banner down was the right thing to.

366
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: Do, all right, So the banner is down there also. Now,

367
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: the fire department in New York City says they meant

368
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: no disrespect when they desecrated the nine to eleven memorial

369
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 3: there for a firefighter. As a matter of fact, they

370
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: threw prayer rugs over all of that. So what is

371
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: going on here? What is going on? Ladies and gentlemen.

372
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 3: We're watching the we're watching and this is in real time,

373
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: and it's happening very very quickly. But we are watching

374
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 3: sharia law being implemented across our nation. Now. It's sort

375
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: of like the old story about the old adage about

376
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: the frog and the boiling water and all that kind

377
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: of stuff. You put the frog in the cold water

378
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: and it never realizes that the you know that it's

379
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: doomed when you slowly increase the the heat. Well, that's

380
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: what's happening to us. Mark normand he's an actor and

381
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: a comedian. Are you familiar with Mark Norman Dylan out

382
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 3: to Europe?

383
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: I do?

384
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 3: Is he a funny guy?

385
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 9: He's pretty funny. He's different than most comedians. He's very

386
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 9: blunt about.

387
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 3: Things really like how so, I don't know.

388
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 9: He just kind of says it how it is. He's

389
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 9: not really afraid to, uh, to offend someone.

390
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 3: Is that right?

391
00:23:58,760 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 9: Yes?

392
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, and that sort of sounds like me.

393
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 9: Yeah it does.

394
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 3: I'm sort of a blunt guy.

395
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 9: And you're funny too.

396
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 10: Well.

397
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 9: Think you should do stand up?

398
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: Really?

399
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 9: You think so? You're kind of doing it already. You're

400
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 9: just sitting down doing so it. Give me a sitcom,

401
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 9: you're doing sit down? Okay, there you go.

402
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 3: So Mark Norman was I guess he had a Netflix

403
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: Netflix show man. I love those comedy specials on Netflix.

404
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 3: Those are really funny.

405
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're always pretty good.

406
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 3: Most of them are very inappropriate. They're very funny.

407
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 9: Yeah.

408
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 3: So, anyway, Mark Normand was doing getting ready for a

409
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: Netflix show and I guess he had to submit what

410
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 3: jokes in advance. I don't know how that process works,

411
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: but anyway, he had some jokes about Muslims and Netflix said, oh, Nelly,

412
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: you can't be No, you can't be telling those jokes.

413
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 3: We don't want to get blow. You can't be telling

414
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: those jokes. Take a listen.

415
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 11: So it's coming out. Hulu sent me about a week

416
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,399

Speaker 11: couple of jokes you like, we'll chop up and use

418
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 11: that as promo on social media.

419
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Chomp them up and feed them to the pool.

420
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 11: You had two faced lace Irish Kurkur all right. So

Speaker 11: they come back in a week. They go, we got

424
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 11: to do a conference call, and I go, oh, that's

425
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 11: not good.

426
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: I hate a conference call.

427
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 11: There's eighteen Jews on there with a speakerphone and my Jews.

428
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 11: And they go, well, yeah, we got some bad news there.

429
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 11: We reviewed the special again. We'd like to take out

430
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 11: the Muslim joke. I got a big joke about Muslims.

431
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 11: And I go, oh why, and they go, well, last

432
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 11: time a comic did a Muslim joke, we got bomb threats,

433
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 11: we got death threats. They had they'd said they were

434
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 11: gonna kill us. They ruined the whole studio, blow the

435
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 11: place up to smithereens. So we'd like to not use

436
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 11: the Muslim joke. And I go, well, I like the joke.

437
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 11: It kills. It's a hot joke. And you know, no

438
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 11: one touches muzz.

439
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 12: I like idea of like Islamic extremists using p smithereens.

440
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 3: We blow you up to smithereens.

441
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 11: Hey, you never know, it's a common term.

442
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 3: Smither is funny.

443
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 11: They you know, Charlie Headbo got smithereens.

444
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 12: I love to know the origin of smithereens. We don't

445
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 12: need to know later on, but that's funny. The idea

446
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 12: of smithereens being in the letter is very good.

447
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 11: Where did that gotta be a bugs bunny line or

448
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 11: something on the back burner there?

449
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 12: That's good stuff, all right, all right, So they got

450
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 12: to blow it up to smithereens.

451
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 11: So I'm on the call, like, oh, I thought it

452
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 11: was gonna be like we're cutting your money, we're taking

453
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 11: a special down. We don't like you don't stop stop

454
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 11: writing his letters. But they're like, we want to take

455
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 11: out the Muslim joke. And they're very like the whole special,

456
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 11: not just the clip. Well that's what I thought. So

457
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 11: I was like, I've gotta fight for the joke here, folks.

458
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 11: You you approved it. Now you're going back And they're like, well, okay,

459
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 11: we'll keep it in the hour, but we gotta get

460
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 11: it off socials. And I said why, what's the difference

461
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 11: and they go, well, socials is where all the starts.

462
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 11: You go, put it on the internet, that's where the

463
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 11: fire calls, the pileon the retweets, the sharing. You can't

464
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 11: comment on a TV screen, you know. So they're like, well,

465
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 11: we got to take it off, so that's a that's

466
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 11: a no brainer and I was like, okay, okay, I

467
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 11: don't love it, but okay, I will take it off

468
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 11: on one condition. And they said, all right, what do

469
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 11: you want to hear?

470
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: What do you want?

471
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 11: And I go, I want you to admit on this

472
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 11: call that they are dangerous people. Oh And they were

473
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 11: like what, no, what are you crazy? And I'm like,

474
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 11: you gotta admit it or I'm keeping it or I'm

475
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,959
Speaker 11: posting it. And they're like, I mean, I'm half joking.

476
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 11: But they were like, you can hear like a in

477
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 11: the back, like a horse was walking through and I

478
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 11: was like that's all I need. And they go, well,

479
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 11: we're not going to do that, and I'm like why not.

480
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 11: They go, well, that's offensive, and I go, that's what

481
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 11: the call is you're calling about this, and I just

482
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 11: need you to say it out loud.

483
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 12: You need acknowledgement, Jerry, I like acknowledgement. Everyone wants acknowledgment.

484
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 11: But it's kind of a microcosm of the whole thing

485
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 11: of like you can you can say, hey, I love

486
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 11: this group, but then you don't live near him. You know,

487
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,959
Speaker 11: we all we're all talk, we're all signaling, we're all virtuous,

488
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 11: but you don't actually act that way. And I think

489
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 11: this is a perfect example of that. Hey we're scared.

490
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 11: Hey we don't get a head boned.

491
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: We're nervous. Okay, well why are you nervous?

492
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 11: Well, come on, shut up right, That's what I was

493
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 11: getting at. So they admitted it.

494
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: Wow, Oh yeah, he is pretty blunt. They call him Muzz,

495
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: the muscle, the MUDs, the muzz. You know, I want

496
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: to know what the joke is. The question is, though,

497
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: should we play it? Hmm, that's the question.

498
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 9: That's a good question.

499
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to get blown up. Yeah, oh, all seriousness,

500
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: just think about this room. But there was a video

501
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, and there were people on

502
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: a subway car and somebody just just a Muslim guy

503
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: storms in and starts chanting, I don't know bat oct

504
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: bar and guess what happened? Everybody took off. I mean

505
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: they were getting out of dodge Dylan. Why do you

506
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: think that was? Do you think it was because I

507
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: don't know body odor? No, I don't think so. You

508
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: think it was because that does happened to be their

509
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 3: stop on the subway. I don't think so. You know what,

510
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: I think it is done. I don't think they wanted

511
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: to get blown up.

512
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 9: Mh.

513
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: But that's just me. I mean, let's just say, for example,

514
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: that I know a Jewish guy walks onto the subway car.

515
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: There are times Square forty second Street, and the Jewish

516
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: guy walks in, and the subway car opens up, and

517
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: the guy walks in. The Jewish guy walks in, he

518
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: goes shalom, and what people, what are people going to do?

519
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: They're like, shallom back at your path? Or what if?

520
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: What if somebody a Christian walks into the subway car

521
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: and says praise the Lord, and somebody might even say

522
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: amen or hallela or something. But if you see somebody

523
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: walking in in a hud covering, wearing idle low a

524
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: nightgown and saying a car you're getting out of there.

525
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you that's and and so why is that?

526
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 3: Because nobody wants to talk about this, which is why

527
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: we do. But we got big problems in this country

528
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 3: because hear me, and I'm just going to predict what's

529
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 3: going to happen. I predict that the Muslims are going

530
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: to basically outbreathing all of you Protestants and all of

531
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: you Catholics and all of you Jews. And it's not

532
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: even a matter of people being proselytized. This is all

533
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: just a matter of numbers of babies being born in America.

534
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 3: The UK has already been through all of this, and

535
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to a point that they've gotten to

536
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: in the UK. And the reason why they're shutting down

537
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: the street preachers, and they're shutting down people that are

538
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: waving the British flag, and they're shutting down all of

539
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: the social media traffic. The reason why they're throwing all

540
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: of the good Christian people in the UK in jail

541
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: and silencing them is because they are terrified. The British

542
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: government is terrified because they don't want to be blown up.

543
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 3: That's what's going on. And by the way, when you

544
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: see what's happening in the UK, this is what Sharia

545
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: looks like. And it used to be Sharia light. Now

546
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: I think it's just good old fashioned Sharia. And now

547
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: I think they're going to be heading into Sharia plus.

548
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: And what happens under Sharia plus, well, that's when they

549
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: do start killing all of you people who refuse to

550
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 3: convert to Islam. Now, some of the Islamic countries they

551
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: actually allow Christians to practice their faith, but they're not

552
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: allowed to do it in public. They have to do

553
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 3: it in private, inside the privacy of their homes. They're

554
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: not allowed to practice their faith out there in the

555
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: public marketplace, not allowed to do that. I predict that's

556
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: going to happen here because right now I know the

557
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 3: up on Capitol Hill they've launched the Sharia Free Caucus.

558
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 3: Over fifty members of Congress now joining that caucus or Calukeye.

559
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to make a bold prediction. I think we surrender.

560
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: I don't think the American people. I don't think the

561
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: American people have the nerve to stand up and fight

562
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 3: back against the Islamists, especially when you look at the

563
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: Christian Church in America. I mean, what's a polite way

564
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: to say this. It's like, I'll Protestant churches in America

565
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 3: have gone limp wristed. I mean, I think maybe the Catholics,

566
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: this new iteration of the Catholics, would fight back. But

567
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: I don't think the average you know, Baptist church with

568
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: their coffee bar and American Idol cover band, I don't

569
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: see them standing up to the to the Islamist right,

570
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: do you. I may be reading this wrong, but I

571
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: only say that because we gave up the right to

572
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: go to church during the China virus pandemic. So if

573
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: you've got people out there threatening to stab your pastor

574
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: or blow up your church, I think you go underground.

575
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 3: I just I don't see this being fixed or remedied,

576
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: because when the Islamis take over, it's you're done. You are,

577
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: you are literally done? Where is There was some audio

578
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 3: that and and we'll get to this. It was a

579
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: couple of gosh, it was maybe maybe a year ago

580
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 3: when some guy Christian, white guy in Dearborn, Michigan went

581
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: to city council and said, you know, I got a

582
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 3: problem naming this street after somebody who supports terrorism and

583
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: the Islamic mayor. The Muslim mayor said, people like you

584
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 3: are no longer welcome here in this in this town,

585
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 3: in this community. That's what we're dealing with. I'm just

586
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 3: telling you, I don't see I don't see us fixing this.

587
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: I don't I don't see us having the courage to

588
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 3: fix this. I maybe look at what's happening in Texas

589
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 3: right now. Nobody's standing up and literally Texas is being

590
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 3: overrun right now with the Islamist nine oh one two

591
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. This is the Todd

592
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 3: Stern Show. I hope I'm wrong. I really hope I'm wrong.

593
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: We'll be right back all right. Coming up tonight, by

594
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: the way, five o'clock on Newsmax. Glenn Beck is going

595
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: to be joining us. We're going to have a wild

596
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: conversation about Islam. You're going to want to tune in

597
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 3: for that five o'clock Eastern on Newsmax. Two. Let's go

598
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: to the phone lines. Mike and Texas listening to us

599
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: on Patriot TALC nine to twenty. Mike, what's on your

600
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 3: mind today?

601
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 13: Oh? I just wanted to piggyback on what you were

602
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 13: talking about. I mean, it fires me up because I've

603
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 13: been saying it for a while now. You're not going

604
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 13: to stop the Islamification of Texas, our America because it's

605
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 13: the fulfillment of end time profitcy. It started with Genesis

606
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 13: sixteen twelve, and it will culminate the Revelation twenty four

607
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 13: because it all goes back to ischmoh and islase.

608
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: But again, I don't want to Yeah, we don't need

609
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 3: a sermon here, Mike, because we don't have a lot

610
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 3: of time here. But you're telling me there's literally nothing

611
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: that we can do in America to stop the Islamic

612
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: takeover now.

613
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 13: When it's the fulfillment of end time prophecy. And I

614
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 13: have a question for you. So many Christians believe in

615
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 13: the rapture and the Second Coming and look forward to that,

616
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 13: but so few of us believe that we could be

617
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 13: the people on planet Earth alive at the time when

618
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 13: all that happened.

619
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: So you believe that the persecution that that Americans will

620
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 3: be persecuted at the hand of the Islamist.

621
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 13: Those that are not raptured out, Yes, okay, all right, Well,

622
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 13: look if you look at if you look at Revelations

623
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 13: twenty verse four, it talks about the people who don't

624
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 13: take the mark, they're beheaded. What group on earth right

625
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 13: now is there that's their favorite means of execution other

626
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 13: than the Muslims. That's what they do is behead people.

627
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: All right, Mike got to leave it there. Thank you

628
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 3: for the call. Yeah, that's that was so much depressing.

629
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: But again, I just think the church is the church

630
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: in America is squishy right now. I mean, there was

631
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 3: a time when your pastor, I mean, look, go back

632
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 3: and just think about this, go back to the nineteen fifties, sixties,

633
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: and I think it was starting to wane a little

634
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: bit in the seventies and eighties. But the most prominent

635
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: people in your communities, the people that you respected, your

636
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: principal of your local school, or your minister, the local

637
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 3: police officer. There is zero respect for any of those

638
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: of those positions now. And a lot of these and

639
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: a lot of the well really small towns, big towns,

640
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: big cities, people just they don't have as much respect

641
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 3: as they used to it. Maybe a lot of that

642
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 3: is on the fault of the preachers. Maybe that's maybe

643
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 3: that's the problem. The preachers these days are more apt

644
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 3: to give you a four point so self help sermon.

645
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: Then they are actually you know, girding you for the

646
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 3: fight ahead. Anyway, we'll talk more about that later in

647
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: the show. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

648
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 3: two six. Coming up in the next hour, we're going

649
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 3: to be talking about this crazy story out of Chicago.

650
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 3: Loyola University student, a young lady, beautiful young lady, and

651
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: she was murdered by an illegal alien. And the mayor

652
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 3: of Chicago is defending the illegal. A city council person

653
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: is actually suggesting that the victim was just at the

654
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 3: wrong place at the wrong time, and that she might

655
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 3: have actually startled the illegal. You can't make this up.

656
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: So we've got all of this audio. We're going to

657
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 3: be jumping into that big story coming up next as well.

658
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,959
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

659
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 3: That is our telephone umber our website. By the way,

660
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 3: I want you to go and read our story. Look

661
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 3: at the prayer rugs and the desecration. We've got that

662
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 3: for you at Todd Sterns. All right, hang time, everybody

663
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 3: will be right back.

664
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

665
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: common sense, conservative commentary from Todd Stars.

666
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 9: This American.

667
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 14: All right.

668
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: Normally, I normally I do not complain about how I

669
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 3: am portrayed by the far left media. Hello, everybody, Welcome

670
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 3: to the Todd Starns Radio Show. Good to have you

671
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 3: with us today. But Dylan, I'm telling you, I'm a

672
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: little I'm a little fired up right now over how

673
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: the local media folk in Memphis, Tennessee have been portraying yours. Truly,

674
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 3: they love you, don't they They do not love me,

675
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 3: and if they do, they're they're showing it in a

676
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: very weird way.

677
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 9: I'm very shocked by this.

678
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: Actually nothing more. And by the way the media coverage,

679
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 3: you know what. Before we go any further, I want

680
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: to bring our good friend, the great Republican strategist Josh

681
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: Jones into the conversation. Josh, I hope you're having a

682
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 3: better day that I'm having right now.

683
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 15: So far, so good.

684
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm interested that they hear what the media has.

685
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 9: Been saying about you.

686
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyway, it's well, you know, we had President

687
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 3: Trump in town yesterday. By the way, Josh, we took

688
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 3: they took him on the same tour of Graceland that

689
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 3: that we took you on.

690
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 14: I saw that, I saw the pictures yesterday. I was like,

691
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 14: oh my god, I was there like two months ago

692
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 14: or whatever. That was recently, so good to know that

693
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 14: if it's good enough for the President, definitely.

694
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 9: Good enough for me.

695
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 13: Yeah.

696
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 3: Well, well exactly, however, they they to actually sit down

697
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 3: in the jungle room. We were only allowed to observe

698
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: the jungle room. So anyway, Yeah, So the Commercial Appeal,

699
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 3: which is run by Gennette, which is that they own

700
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 3: USA Today and a lot of other failing newspapers around

701
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: the country, they dispatched their local Memphis reporter, a gown

702
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 3: by the name of Brooke Muckerman. What an unfortunate last name,

703
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 3: but Muckerman was on the job yesterday and she was

704
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 3: detailing exactly who was responsible for President Trump sending the

705
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 3: National Guard to Memphis, and of course it happened to

706
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 3: be yours truly, Josh and I take great pride in that,

707
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: and we were the only people that actually had the

708
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: courage to ask the President the question, will you do

709
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,760
Speaker 3: something about the crime in Memphis? And now, of course

710
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: that has been a great success, everybody and their brothers

711
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: taking full credit for it, including the governor of Tennessee,

712
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 3: who staunchly opposed to sending out the National Guard. But

713
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: I digress. So Muckerman in the Commercial Appeal says this,

714
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: Todd Stearns a controversial conservative fixture. What does that mean?

715
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 3: You know, here's the deal. I'm a two time Burrow

716
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 3: Award winning journalist. I've won the Associated Press, Mark Twain

717
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 3: Storytelling Award. I've got awards out the wazoo. I'm a

718
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,000
Speaker 3: small business owner. But all of a sudden I can

719
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: only be relegated to a controversial conservative fixture in Memphis, Tennessee.

720
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, it sounds like I'm having maybe a

721
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 14: little bit more of a better day. But to your point,

722
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 14: hopefully nobody's reading it.

723
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: Well, there you go, nobody does read it. But anyway,

724
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: thank you Brooke Muckerman for your analysis there of the

725
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 3: situation in Memphis, Tennessee. Josh, a lot of political news happening,

726
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of just it just feels weird

727
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 3: right now. I'm not sure anybody has a good peg

728
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 3: on what's going to happen in twenty twenty six. Now

729
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: we're getting word that Trump may compromise with the Democrats

730
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 3: to reopen the TSA and get everybody paid. What is

731
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 3: the mood out there. What is the vibe? I know

732
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 3: you represent a lot of candidates, you what are you

733
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 3: feeling out there?

734
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 14: Look, I think you see it's different across the country,

735
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 14: you know, from Texas, whether you're in Texas or in Virginia.

736
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 14: I mean in Virginia right now we have this whole

737
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 14: redistricting battle Texas, you still have this competitive primary for

738
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 14: the sense see.

739
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 9: Going on down there.

740
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 14: So I think we're seeing like different levels of enthusiasm

741
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 14: for Republican voters across the country right now, and that's

742
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 14: going to be the big determining factor when we get

743
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,759
Speaker 14: to November of can the Democrats get their people to

744
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 14: the polls. As of right now, the signs of party

745
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 14: into yes because for better or for worse, their monovating

746
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 14: factor is this is their chance to stand up against

747
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 14: President Trump in their minds, So they're going to come

748
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 14: out them vote and make their voices heard. That way,

749
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 14: Republicans need a reason to come out the vote in November.

750
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 14: So I hope Ngress and the President are focused on

751
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 14: delivering over the next six months, roughly delivering some flagship

752
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 14: legislation or policy agenda that the President set out in

753
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 14: a second term to roid drive these Republican voters to

754
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 14: the polls, otherwise we could be facing a pretty dire

755
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 14: situation in November.

756
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: We've been dealing with the situation across Tennessee, and I'm

757
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: curious if other state Republican parties have been dealing with

758
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 3: this where there's a big battle over bonafides, who exactly

759
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 3: is a bonafide Republican. In one instance, an incumbent Republican

760
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 3: judge was declared not bonafied because I guess he missed

761
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: a primary vote or something. Or now there's actually rumblings

762
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: in Tennessee that if you speak ill of another Republican

763
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 3: then you could be disqualified from serving on any state

764
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 3: executive committees. And I get that, you know Reagan's love

765
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: of the commandment, don't speak ill of your fellow Republicans,

766
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: at least public. But the reality is is that the

767
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean that, I don't see that actually growing and

768
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 3: expanding the Republican base when there's so much warfare happening.

769
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, I agree, I think you know, to your point,

770
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 14: Ragan said, I love it commanded you know, don't don't

771
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 14: go after your fellow Republicans. But that doesn't mean never

772
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 14: go after a fellow Republican. I think it's also to

773
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 14: speak to the fact that Republicans should be a big

774
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,280
Speaker 14: ten party. There's a lot of different opinions within the party.

775
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 14: I mean you have a very you know, isolationist wing

776
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 14: of the party who doesn't want intervention, and then you

777
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 14: have the other side of the party. You are traditional

778
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 14: conservatives who are pro intervention. Look, both both camps are fine,

779
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 14: They're welcome to their opinions, but it's a testament that

780
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 14: different opinions can exist under the same banner. And I

781
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 14: think a lot of Republicans have lost that unfortunately, at

782
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 14: least a lot of the different state committees across the country,

783
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 14: where it's you're either with us one hundred percent of

784
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 14: the time or you're not with us at all. And

785
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 14: that's not how you build a winning coalition. Look, someone

786
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 14: I agree with eighty percent of the time is better

787
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 14: than someone I agree of twenty percent of the time.

788
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 14: And I think that's the mindset that a lot of

789
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 14: Republicans need to be taken into the midterms. Particularly President

790
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 14: Trump will not be on the ballot in November or

791
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 14: ever again for that matter. So moving forward with the

792
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 14: Magian movement, we have to be a big ten party

793
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 14: and have these different opinions, and look, that's the whole

794
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 14: point of in a primary. People have to like primaries

795
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 14: are the worst things ever and people shouldn't run against

796
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 14: each other. No, that that's our chance to voice our

797
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 14: differences internally within the party. But the key point of

798
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 14: that is once we have the nominee, we have to

799
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 14: rally around that person. So different opinions are good, Primaries

800
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 14: are good, but once we have that nominee, that's when

801
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 14: everybody needs to lock in and support that person.

802
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: You know.

803
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: It's a that is a great point you raise. And

804
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 3: there's a situation in Memphis where you have you had

805
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: two black men that were wanting to run for the

806
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 3: Republican nod to be the county mayor in Memphis, Tennessee.

807
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 3: That's a big job. And I thought it was. I

808
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 3: thought it was going to be a pretty fascinating primary

809
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 3: battle between Judge Joe Brown and this great civil rights

810
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 3: leader John de Berry. And yet the state stepped in

811
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 3: and said, no, no, no, Judge Joe Brown is not

812
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 3: a bona fide so therefore he cannot run the race. Well,

813
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: it turned out neither was the other guy. But for

814
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 3: whatever reason, they liked the other guy, so they kept

815
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 3: him and they gave Judge Joe Brown the heave home.

816
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: But the reality is, I think that would have energized

817
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 3: the base, Josh that were because right now you've got

818
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: five or six or maybe seven Democrats running for the mayor.

819
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: They're having town halls, you know, once twice a week,

820
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 3: they're doing debates. There's all of this excitement and enthusiasm

821
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 3: on the Democrat side, but none on the Republican side.

822
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 9: Yep.

823
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 14: No, it's a real problem. I mean, primaries, even if

824
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 14: they get a little messy sometimes because it's politics, it's

825
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 14: going to happen, but it drives enthusiasm. And I mean

826
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 14: the risk you run is you have to keep the

827
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 14: coalition together after that primary, election or convention or the

828
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 14: nominating processes happens. But I mean a lot of people,

829
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 14: I mean, to your point in this story, I wasn't

830
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 14: aware of it, but like you know, you have the

831
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 14: state party I assume, or a state committee coming in

832
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 14: and saying, no, we don't need a primary because this

833
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 14: person has a you know, check X, y Z boxes.

834
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 14: Well that's really for the voters to decide, not necessarily

835
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 14: you know, some over you know, overlord State Committee or

836
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 14: you know, whatever it may be. So I think it's,

837
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 14: you know, a large issue we're seeing across the country

838
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 14: right now. Luckily, at least in a lot of states

839
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 14: were past the primary season, or we're kind of in

840
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 14: the middle of it right now. But no, I mean,

841
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 14: I think primaries can be a good thing, so long

842
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 14: as you can keep that coalition together afterwards.

843
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 3: Real quick, Johns, before we let you go. I know,

844
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk about what's going to

845
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: happen with redistricting in Virginia, and it certainly appears that

846
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:51,359
Speaker 3: the Republicans are are getting fired up. Do you think

847
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 3: that they're going to be able to put down that

848
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 3: that attempt to actually erase Republican representation in Congress.

849
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 14: Look, I'm optimistic that Republicans, you know, are mobilizing, the voters,

850
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 14: are paying attention and getting.

851
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 9: Out the vote.

852
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 14: If you look at the early voting numbers as it

853
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 14: relates to the governor's election we had last November, Republicans

854
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 14: are really turning out, I mean some more so even

855
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,760
Speaker 14: than last November where we had a governor's election, whereas

856
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 14: Democrat localities aren't really turning out so far. So we'll

857
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 14: see what happens. The thing we have working against this

858
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 14: here is the national democratic apparatus is involved. I mean,

859
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 14: you have Obama cutting at the governor obviously, Governor spendbur

860
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 14: is getting involved, along with a bunch of other national figures,

861
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 14: and you don't really see that happening on the Republican

862
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 14: side unfortunately. So we'll see how this plays out.

863
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 9: But if you're in Virginia, you have to go.

864
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 14: Vote NOIL in this referendum to keep Republican representation in Congress.

865
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 3: And that's the thing. The way it is written, you

866
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 3: would think the Republicans one would want to vote yes,

867
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 3: but that's again that's the strategy of the Democrats here.

868
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 3: It is a no vote on this legislation.

869
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 9: That's right.

870
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 14: It's very reliant. If you read the language they put

871
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 14: on the ballot, they're intentionally trying to sleep vooters. I mean,

872
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 14: it's the most blatant power grab I've seen. I mean, granted,

873
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 14: relatively short live all things considered, I guess, but it's

874
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 14: the most blatant power graph I've seen in politics in

875
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:10,959
Speaker 14: a very long time.

876
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, Josh, good to see you. And by

877
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: the way, is that your office? It looks really it is.

878
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,600

879
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 3: you to go and design my office for me.

880
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, just let me know. I'm happy to do it,

881
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 9: all right.

Speaker 3: issue for Newsmax of late, and our social security expert,

902
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,839

00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,279

00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,160

911
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 3: I want to go back to this whole Republican thing.

912
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 3: There's just a lot of fighting at the local and

913
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 3: state and national well, by the way, the National Republican

914
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 3: Party is they're doa I mean, nobody, nobody's getting any

915
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 3: help from the r NC these days. I don't know

916
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 3: what that is all about. But within the local Republican parties,

917
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 3: you've you've got this in fighting and people are be

918
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 3: wording and moaning all over the place about the about

919
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 3: the true conservatives and the grass roots people as a

920
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,959
Speaker 3: matter of fact. But at the end of the day,

921
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 3: it's really not about that. It's about the establishment. And

922
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 3: I cannot tell you where this happened. I wish I could.

923
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 3: I wish I could tell you where this happened. But

924
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 3: there were there were some Republicans and then when to

925
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 3: give donors a gift, So they got them the beautiful

926
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 3: White House Christmas ornament that I got. I gave those

927
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: out as gifts this past year and people loved it.

928
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 3: Dylan and I gave you guys one that ornament. Isn't

929
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 3: it a great ornament? It's very nice. I gave one

930
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 3: for the whole stamp.

931
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:17,720
Speaker 8: Yes.

932
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 3: So so anyway, I'm uh so they decided to give

933
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 3: out these as gifts and the person said, oh, why

934
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: don't we wrap this? And we had they had Trump

935
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 3: Christmas wrapping paper. I thought that would have been very clever,

936
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 3: and they said, no, we don't need to be doing that.

937
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 3: We need to be moving on from Donald Trump.

938
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 9: No.

939
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 3: You know what that tells me? That is a liberal

940
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 3: alert right there, ladies and gentlemen. That's what that's all about.

941
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 3: Liberal alert, liberal alert, that's what's going on there. You're

942
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 3: telling me you're not gonna wrap a Christmas ornament and

943
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's face, what's wrong with you? You're communists. I'm

944
00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 3: just saying. So anyway, we're having well, we're having this

945
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 3: big hullabaloo in Memphis over the over the county mayor,

946
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 3: and of course crime is still a huge issue here.

947
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 3: So I want to read this to you. This is

948
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 3: what I wrote. It caused a lot of controversy locally,

949
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: and everybody's calling me a racist, and I'm curious to

950
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 3: hear hear your thoughts on this. So over the weekend,

951
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 3: you had a horrible situation. You had two people shot

952
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 3: in separate shootings on Beal Street. You had this mob

953
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 3: of they say it between fifty and two hundred, so

954
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 3: you can figure it out. But there was a huge

955
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 3: mob of teenagers and they were rampaging and fighting. They

956
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 3: were fighting with National Guard trips, they were fighting with

957
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 3: Memphis police officers. I mean, it was all you know

958
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 3: what was breaking loose. It's unbelievable. So anyway, I said,

959
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 3: you know what, enough is enough. We need to talk

960
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 3: about this, and I wrote at I wrote a little

961
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:02,479
Speaker 3: blurb here and I'm calling it up. HM hmmmmmm, here

962
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 3: we go. And this is this is what I had

963
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 3: to say, because everybody's afraid to say what needs to

964
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 3: be said about this nonsense. And if we're not willing

965
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 3: to talk about it, we're not going to ever ever

966
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 3: be able to fix what is broken in our in

967
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 3: our city. And as soon as I can find the

968
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 3: blasted thing, I'll read it. I don't know why I'm

969
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 3: having such a hard time finding stuff today, but the

970
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 3: gist of it is this, and it's a very simple thing,

971
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 3: is that we have got to be willing to speak

972
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 3: truth to power wet now. It's not the time for

973
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 3: platitudes because plantitudes get you nowhere. And that's a big problem.

974
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 3: And especially in the Republican Party. Donald Trump he speaks

975
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 3: truth to power, and when he does that, things get done.

976
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 3: And I was really hoping that, you know, the Republicans

977
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 3: would would learn something, And so here's what I wrote.

978
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 3: The lawless lawlessness that we are seeing hampen across Memphis

979
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 3: is caused overwhelmingly by one demographic, black teenagers. On Beal Street,

980
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 3: there were at least two separate shootings. A mob of

981
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 3: black teens caused mayhem and the sixty million dollar tom

982
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 3: Lee Park before heading back to Beale Street. Business owners

983
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 3: tell me there were fights and stampedes all over downtown.

984
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 3: Several businesses had to shut down their establishments early because

985
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: of the violence. The black preachers, black business leaders, and

986
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:39,440
Speaker 3: black elected officials need to have a come to Jesus

987
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 3: conversation about the citizens or with the citizens of Memphis

988
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 3: enforced the curfew. Arrest parents who allow their children to

989
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 3: break curfew. God only knows how much worse last night

990
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 3: could have been without the Memphis Save Task Force. We

991
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: don't need any more community centers or athletic fields or

992
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:00,160
Speaker 3: basketball courts. We need moms and dads to step up

993
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 3: and start parenting, and we would be happy to supply

994
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 3: hickory switches and or belts. And we need a district

995
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 3: attorney's office that will fight crime instead of treating the

996
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 3: criminals like victims. The time for dancing around the issue

997
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: with politically correct jargon is over. And so that was

998
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 3: my take on it. And now people are accusing me

999
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 3: of being a racist. I'm not a racist. If we

1000
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 3: had a bunch of white folks out there, or Hispanic

1001
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 3: folks or Asian American folks, you better believe I would

1002
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 3: be saying the same thing. But we've got to start

1003
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: speaking truth about what's really going on in this country.

1004
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 3: All right, gotta take a break. Nine oh one two

1005
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. This is the Tom

1019
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if Roberta would have called up and said

1020
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 3: a lock, Paul, I would have been under the desk.

1021
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 3: I'm just saying.

1022
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 9: That was very nice for Roberta.

1023
00:58:55,760 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 3: It was very kind, very kind. Oh my god, sword Yoga,

00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 9: This is the first.

1026
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 3: Sword yoga is the hot new fitness trend that's turning

1027
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 3: New York City women into swashbuckling fighters with the help

1028
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 3: of a double edged blade. This is the exclusive story

1029
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,439
Speaker 3: from the Lifestyle section of the New York Post. Kat

1030
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 3: Yap is up in arms. The no nonsense New Yorker

00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 3: sword or sword? I call it a sword.

1033
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 9: I don't know anyone who says sword sword.

1034
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: It's sort of like, it's sort of like raspberry. Now

1035
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 3: I believe in pronouncing the beat raspberry, but some people

1036
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 3: say raspberry.

1037
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, sworn you didn't live in the North for a while.

1038
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 6: True.

1039
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 3: Does anybody actually say sword? Why is there a doub

1040
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 3: there if you're not going to use it? Why whoever

1041
00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 3: came up with a word? Why did you put a

1042
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 3: double you there?

1043
00:59:58,560 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 13: Good?

1044
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 3: Point makes no sense to me.

1045
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 9: Parodactyl starts with a peace So, oh my god, English

1046
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 9: is hard.

1047
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

1048
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 10: What?

1049
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, all right? So anyway, Yeah, they're using

1050
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 3: these thirty inch double edged blades during something called Golden Hour.

1051
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 3: According to Oh, the woman's name is Saturday. Her last

1052
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 3: name is Saturday. I'm shocked by this Miss Saturday says

1053
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 3: it's a tool of self expression and freedom. The sword

1054
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:37,479
Speaker 3: is like a magic wand that seemed doub there makes

1055
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 3: sense because wand because it gives me a sense of

1056
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 3: graceful power. When I hold it, I feel like a

1057
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 3: force of femininity, beauty and strength, adding the force to

1058
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 3: be reckoned with one in the rising army of every

1059
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 3: day female dynamos leading the sword yoga fitness charge. So exactly, Oh,

1060
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: I see what they're doing. So there wheeling their sword,

1061
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 3: which I guess it's heavy and that therefore, so it's

1062
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: a fusion of tai chi and kung fu, slow breathing

1063
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 3: paired with vagina. Oh that's not vagina yoga. Pardon me,

1064
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 3: vinyasa yoga? Weo? I gonna get my eyes checked?

1065
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:17,959
Speaker 9: Yeah you do?

1066
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: That would be painful. I would have to imagine.

1067
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 9: You know, I don't even know what that even means.

1068
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 3: Don't you gotta watch where you put the sword?

1069
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, it sounds like samurai training though, Oh god, kaichiichi.

1070
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: It's one of those days and it's not even Monday.

1071
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 3: That's the problem. I may I just say I was

1072
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 3: so exhausted, you know, you had to stand. It's a

1073
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 3: lot of standing up when you're with the president. It's like,

1074
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 3: you know, you're standing up for five or six hours,

1075
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 3: then the event, and then you know. So I was

1076
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,080
Speaker 3: a little out. So I'm still sort of like getting

1077
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 3: over yesterday. Anyway. The lady says that sword yoga is

1078
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 3: a firm foundation for her chronic panic attacks. When I

1079
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 3: feel an attack coming on, I rely on the training

1080
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 3: and breathing techniques. I can't believe I miss Pardon me,

1081
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen.

1082
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 9: She attacks her panic back, she stabs it.

1083
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 3: She also has daggers. Oh and tell Ian Ian would

1084
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 3: love a lightsabers. They have lightsabers.

1085
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 9: Wow, Wow, the lightsaber yoga sounds cool.

1086
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 3: Yes, I guess her schwartz is bigger than my schwartz.

1087
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 3: That was a great movie, by the way, Spaceballs.

1088
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 9: Oh yes, oh yes.

1089
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 3: The sword yoga enthusiast of two years trained with a

1090
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 3: soup ladle. I can't I just but now she's advanced

1091
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 3: to an actual blade. She says. I walk around the

1092
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 3: city feeling like the cool princess in a tower, but

1093
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 3: in reality, I'm the dragon. That's what she says. This

1094
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 3: woman scares me. So anyway, you know, I'm curious about

1095
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 3: this the trend here in this here in Memphis, they

1096
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 3: do something called goat yoga, and they put these little

1097
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: goats on the banks of people and they're doing all

1098
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 3: these like yoga things.

1099
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 9: They're like baby goats in fact too, they're a little scary.

1100
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 9: It's scary, but it's kind of cute, as saying, I

1101
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 9: don't understand it.

1102
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either.

1103
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 9: You to have a baby goat just you know, pooping

1104
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 9: and peeing on your back.

1105
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 3: Here's the concern, I am. I can't believe I'm about

1106
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 3: to see this. But let's just say that you have

1107
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 3: a bunch of ladies head to toe dressed in Islamic garb,

1108
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 3: wielding swords in the middle of Times Square. That can

1109
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 3: be a little disconcerting, right, I shouldn't have said that.

1110
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 16: I just.

1111
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 3: Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to the phones. Nine

1119
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Now that's a new one on me. And that's why

1120
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: I listened to your show. I catch a lot of

1121
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 2: new stuff that's going on in Memphis, and you're pretty good.

1122
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 2: You're pretty good. I really liked your show, but I

1123
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 2: got a different.

1124
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 10: With you today.

1125
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Tom, that's okay to go ahead.

1126
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,040
Speaker 10: Uh, you said.

1127
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 2: You're not racist. I think you said something that was racist,

1128
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 2: but you weren't trying to be I'm to tell you

1129
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 2: what I mean. You said that the black preachers need

1130
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: to talk to the black teenagers and Memphis. I happen

1131
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 2: to be a pastor here in Memphis, and I'm a

1132
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 2: pastor that happened to be black. I'm not a black

1133
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 2: pastor that the Bible doesn't tell me and Matthew, Mark,

1134
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: Luke and John and I'm black. Uh, you know the

1135
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 2: Bible tell me that I'm a preacher. And what happens

1136
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 2: to me when we when we told anytime you use

1137
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 2: race as a denominating fact, that you didn't say pastors

1138
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 2: need to talk to the teenagers. You said black pastors.

1139
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 2: Well that's racist, it's not a negative racist. What you're

1140
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 2: saying is true that that usually teenagers that are classifatics black,

1141
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 2: are going to relate to something that's black. But my

1142
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 2: colorgagent has black and white and we had the middle

1143
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 2: of high fog. And it's not because I appreciated to

1144
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 2: the black church or the white church. I just preached

1145
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 2: the gospel.

1146
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 3: Well I'm glad, look, pastor, I'm glad you're doing that.

1147
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 3: But you you know what I mean by that, because

1148
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 3: there are there are black churches and black pastors, but

1149
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 3: they and they are quick to criticize everything and everybody,

1150
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 3: but they are not addressing a very clear and present issue,

1151
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 3: you know, in the city, aside from the fact that

1152
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 3: we have so many homes, so many broken homes. But

1153
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 3: again my point is just because you're you know, somebody

1154
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 3: is pointing this out, and everybody's dancing around the issue

1155
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 3: at city Hall and nobody really wants to confront Hey,

1156
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 3: we've got a problem in this community.

1157
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you are one hund I mean agreement

1158
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 2: with you on that. But what I'm saying is whenever

1159
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 2: you have people were playing we are the black church,

1160
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 2: that is a racist statement. They didn't no black church.

1161
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 2: There's no white church.

1162
01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 10: It's just church.

1163
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 2: And what happens is they used that divider to put

1164
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: us in a box and stuff because they think if

1165
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: a white man or a black man who passed. I

1166
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 2: don't proclaim to be black. I tell you I'm not black.

1167
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm andre. I live by the theory or the content

1168
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 2: of my character, not the color of my skin. If

1169
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna live by the color of my skin,

1170
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 2: I can't keep making reference to my skin. That's all

1171
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

1172
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 3: Well, pastor, no, that makes and that makes perfect sense.

1173
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 3: I do understand what you're saying there. What is it?

1174
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 3: Do you want to give your church a shout out?

1175
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 3: And we have a lot of Memphis listeners.

1176
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 9: What's the name of it.

1177
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:30,800

Speaker 3: lo language people language, my word. This story from The

1227
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 3: New York Post, a McDonald's in a Chinese city welcomes

1228
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 3: welcome humanoid robots to serve meals and entertain customers. Videos

1229
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 3: posted on social media captured the myriad of life like

1230
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 3: robots at McDonald's in Shanghai, performing routine task typically completed

1231
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 3: by human workers. Among other things, they Greek customers and

1232
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 3: they deliver food. Diners were seen interacting with the robots

1233
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 3: dressed in the fast food joints iconic red and yellow

1234
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 3: uniforms behind counters, while children chased more of the moving

1235
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 3: machinery disguised as cute animals. The robots were supplied by

1236
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,639
Speaker 3: a Chinese robotics firm and they were Lloyd is part

1237
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 3: of a trial at the Shanghai McDonald's location, So maybe

1238
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 3: they're trying them out in China and if it goes

1239
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 3: over well, they're going to use them here in America.

1240
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 3: McDonald said the robots were only around for five days

1241
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 3: and were meant to plug the grand opening of the

1242
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 3: Shanghai Science and Technology Museum restaurant. So what do they do?

1243
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 3: They fire the robots? How does that work? Keenan Robotics

1244
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 3: posted an item on social media saying our humanoid robot

1245
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 3: series are leading the squad and hitting the streets. It's

1246
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,160
Speaker 3: a showcase of how service automation is becoming a seamless

1247
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:46,080
Speaker 3: part of global dining and how technology brings more smiles

1248
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 3: to every meal time. John Banner is the executive VP

1249
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 3: and Global Chief Impact Officer of Mickey D's, and he

1250
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 3: said the robots were there for a temporary greeting mission accomplished.

1251
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 3: The robots were not involved in any service or operational functions,

1252
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 3: and if you didn't visit prior to today, you miss them.

1253
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 3: So well, now a lot of people are running. Well

1254
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 3: wait a second, if it worked out so well, why

1255
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 3: would you not want to use robots when you don't

1256
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 3: have to pay them anything? Right, they're like basically slaves?

1257
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 3: Is that? I mean, if you force somebody to work

1258
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 3: and you don't pay them a wage and you purchase them,

1259
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 3: that does seem to fit the clinical definition.

1260
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 9: It depends on how humanoid they are.

1261
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point.

1262
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 9: Do they know what's happening? Do they know they're being sold?

1263
01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point. Do you break up the

1264
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:48,440
Speaker 3: robotic families?

1265
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1266
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,679
Speaker 3: I mean like little robot and likely have a little

1267
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 3: doggy robot. You watch. They're going to be moral issues

1268
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 3: that we can't even imagine when it comes to the

1269
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 3: you know, integrating these robots and these humanoids into into

1270
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 3: the culture.

1271
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,919
Speaker 9: There's going to be a word for like being racist

1272
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:07,519
Speaker 9: to a robot.

1273
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,600
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, it's racist.

1274
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 9: Is it? Though? I don't know.

1275
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. Many of the robots handle the heavy

1276
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 3: lifting and where I'm reading from the article here, many

1277
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 3: of the robots handle the servants. We'll call them servants.

1278
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 3: Many of the servants handle the heavy lifting and warehouse work,

1279
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 3: picking items from tall shelves and moving goods around facilities.

1280
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 3: Others are advanced enough to help human sort and package orders.

1281
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 3: Can you imagine having to work alongside a robot? I

1282
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:48,600
Speaker 3: don't know about this. Get this, three quarters of Amazon's

1283
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 3: global deliveries are now assisted by robots. You know what's

1284
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 3: going to happen is so all these people will be

1285
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:58,600
Speaker 3: on the unemployment line. So at some point, and especially

1286
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 3: with the the rapid developments of AI and this artificial intelligence,

1287
01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 3: you do have to wonder what are the humans going

1288
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 3: to be doing? What was the cartoon? There was a movie.

1289
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 3: It was like an animated movie about a future where

1290
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 3: the humans just sit around and do nothing.

1291
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 9: It's Wally.

1292
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 3: They're blobs, Yeah, Disney Pixars, Wally. That's it.

1293
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1294
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 3: Is that our future?

1295
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 9: Hey, we're not far off. It seems.

1296
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 3: This troubles me greatly, But again, I mean, if you're

1297
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 3: in the fast food business especially and or in the

1298
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 3: restaurant industry. I mean, and you can use the they

1299
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 3: did this in the Memphis area. We actually had like

1300
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 3: one of the Mexican restaurants where they had the little

1301
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 3: Mexican robots. I don't think they were Mexicans. I'm sorry

1302
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,920
Speaker 3: that actually could be racist. But they had a little rope.

1303
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 3: So they had the robots, right, and they came over

1304
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:05,280
Speaker 3: and they were like, I don't know how a robot talks.

1305
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 3: And then man, man tinker. It's like, that's our dose,

1306
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 3: thrace dose. That's the Mexican are too need too but

1307
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:24,759
Speaker 3: they have a This is terrible, but anyway, no, in all, seriously,

1308
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 3: they had these little robots at the Mexican Mexican restaurant

1309
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 3: and they came over and they serve you food that

1310
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 3: you know, they're they're very pleasant. I mean, they do

1311
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 3: their job. You know, they're little robots and they I

1312
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 3: mean everybody, I guess. I I don't know. For me,

1313
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 3: I would much rather have the human interaction, but some

1314
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 3: people like the robots.

1315
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 9: It depends on how fast, like the cheese dip comes out.

1316
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 9: If it's like taking a minute, I might have won.

1317
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 3: Or a robot Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, and whatever. Yeah,

1318
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 3: and there's a problem you order extra ice and they're

1319
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 3: out the door.

1320
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 9: Do you think they do you think they want to tip?

1321
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good question if given next to squirt

1322
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 3: of w D forty. I don't know, what do you do?

1323
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 3: How do you a robot?

1324
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 9: That might be like the best way to you know, compliment.

1325
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I don't know. For me, I would

1326
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 3: just I want my servers to be humans. And by servers,

1327
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean what do I mean? People, waitresses, people that

1328
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,679
Speaker 3: prepare food. They get paid, They get paid, they get

1329
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 3: paid a good wage, and they're free. You can go

1330
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 3: work at Applebee's, ors Zaxby's. I don't care anyway. That's

1331
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 3: this segment of the show. Ladies and Gentlemen. I I

1332

01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: weird day here on the program. We do have today

1334
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 3: Kate quick Break coming up, we're going to tell you

1335
01:15:54,840 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 3: this horrible story in Chicago. Also, the Sharia Free caucas

1336
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,360
Speaker 3: is kicking off. We're going to talk to Congressman Mark

1337
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 3: Harris about that. Also, Congressman Matt Van Epps he joins

1338
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 3: us as well. It's going to be a Jam Packed

1339

Speaker 3: hour nine oh one two six zero five nine two

1340
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 3: six are telephone number. This is the Todd starn Show,

1341
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 3: operated by humans.

1342
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:37,800
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1343
01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1344
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 8: That's that's.

1345
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:45,520
Speaker 9: American.

1346
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Todd starts.

1347
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 3: Yea, well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show,

1348
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:59,040
Speaker 3: Hour three of the Big show we had. It was

1349
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 3: just a weird second hour of the program. What can

1350
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 3: I say? Okay, it was a weird first two hours

1351
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 3: of the program, and we got off on this conversation

1352
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 3: about McDonald's in China using these humanoid robots to man

1353
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 3: the little Mickey D's over there, and then got into

1354
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 3: the conversation about robots in restaurants in general, and that

1355
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 3: is what led Dan from Pasadena, Texas to phone in

1356
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,519
Speaker 3: about today. Dan, good to have you with us. What

1357
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 3: intel can you tell us about these robots and restaurants?

1358
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 10: Well, I'll tell you in general, I have a strong

1359
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 10: bodas or strong preference for dealing with people with humans,

1360
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,879
Speaker 10: But with robots and restaurants, I can save the value

1361
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 10: potentially do it reverting health problems. For example, if you

1362
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 10: are all going into a restaurant wearing a certain type

1363
01:17:58,439 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 10: of cap that had THUR letters on it and was read.

1364
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 10: Then we would have to be concerned about whether the

1365
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 10: waitress or the raid or the cook might add a

1366
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 10: little something extra trap food, but who's falling in it?

1367
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,880
Speaker 10: So I don't think robots are likely to do that.

1368
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 3: What happens if the robots are are like made by

1369
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 3: a far left company, I mean, what happens if the

1370
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 3: bias is built into the programming the DNA.

1371
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, there is a good point, and I think there

1372
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:38,799
Speaker 10: should be some sort of federal regulation. Uh. The FDA

1373
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 10: perhaps has to require that robots are not capable of

1374
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 10: spinning or doing any sort of uh you know, uh

1375
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 10: sabotage like that to meals. But unfortunately, I don't think

1376
01:18:57,320 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 10: you can control waders, waitresses, cooks the same way. And

1377
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 10: one other thing that brought us up. Jesse Jackson was

1378
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 10: in the news that long ago and real Noual items

1379
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 10: there that was part of his life story, and he

1380
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 10: said this publicly apparently that when he was young, he

1381
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 10: worked at a restaurant as maybe a waiter or a cook,

1382
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 10: and when he found out that the customer maybe was

1383
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 10: a repubitant, he would spit in their food. So it's

1384
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:40,640
Speaker 10: it's an issue that deserves some recognition and to be

1385
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 10: dealt with, I believe. And so robots are easier easier

1386
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 10: to control than people because robots likely are not going

1387
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 10: to have emotions and political biasses the way people do.

1388
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,560
Speaker 3: So anyway, what about the female robots? Would they be emotional?

1389
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:06,879
Speaker 3: I can't ask that question, Rosie, Well, the female robots?

1390
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 3: Would they be emotional?

1391
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 8: You know?

1392
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:17,440
Speaker 3: Well, jeez, I just said my job is to ask questions.

1393
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 3: That's all My job here is, ladies and jellowen uh Dan,

1394
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 3: it's you've given us something to think about, and thank

1395
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 3: you for the call. I So here's the problem though,

1396
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 3: I mean, Dyla, let's go back to the Mexican robots

1397
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 3: here over at what Taco Tuesday that we'll make up

1398
01:20:32,960 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 3: the name of the restaurant, Taco Tuesday. They got the

1399
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 3: little Mexican robots and they're wearing the little sombreros and

1400
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:41,880
Speaker 3: they come to your table and you know, you order

1401
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 3: I don't know, tacos, all right, So you order some

1402
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 3: tacos and you they bring and you're wearing a Maga hat.

1403
01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,760
Speaker 3: So you've got the red Maga hat. And somewhere in

1404
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:58,599
Speaker 3: the Mexican robot it's like warning, warning, mega maga gringo,

1405
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 3: Maga greeno. And so what you do is, so you're

1406
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 3: sitting there, you're waiting for your food. You ordered, you know,

1407
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 3: not to say ice because the robots will run out

1408
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 3: of the restaurant, so you you order it without any ice.

1409
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 3: So you've got your like iceless beverage there, Dr Pepper,

1410
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 3: And then when they bring the tancos back, you realize,

1411
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 3: wait a second, what's that green stuff? Because it's not

1412
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 3: salcy verdie. I'm just.

1413
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 9: You're bringing up a lot of good points here, right.

1414
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 3: I mean you could put it into the whole DNA

1415
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:31,400
Speaker 3: of the robot.

1416
01:21:31,479 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 9: There you can like store a little bit of like

1417
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 9: water slash spit into the valve there.

1418
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 3: Truth you could, you could, But what do.

1419
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 9: You readily go that far? Would they do that?

1420
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I saw a terminator. They would enslave all of us.

1421
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 9: Well, then if you refuse, he might, you know, whip

1422
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 9: out his arm gun.

1423
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 3: So I do recon. I'd like Dan's idea, though it

1424
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 3: needs to be government regulated. We can come up with

1425
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:58,559
Speaker 3: a brand new we can call it DHS, the Department

1426
01:21:58,600 --> 01:22:04,440
Speaker 3: of Humanoid security, and they can govern all the robots.

1427
01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:07,640
Speaker 9: I just think the mammy robots need to raise the

1428
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 9: the kid robots a little bit better. You think so,

1429
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,480
Speaker 9: no federal government.

1430
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 3: Involved, Well, the robots live in government housing.

1431
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 9: No.

1432
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 3: Oh, they just plug into the wall somewhere.

1433
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 9: We're gonna start paying them.

1434
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 3: They don't even need well, look, they won't even need

1435
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 3: to leave the restaurant. Right, You're gonna plug him in

1436
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:27,880
Speaker 3: at the end of the shift.

1437
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 9: It's true.

1438
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 3: That don't require a lot of TLC. I'm just saying,

1439
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 3: all right, nine oh one two six zero five, nine

1440
01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 3: two six, thank you for that. Dan really appreciate it.

1441
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine to six.

1442
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 3: So look, there is just an awful story in Chicago

1443
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:54,719
Speaker 3: involving a loyalty University of University of Loyola student who

1444
01:22:54,960 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 3: was killed eighteen years old. Her name is cher Gorman,

1445
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 3: lovely young lady. She was walking in a park with

1446
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 3: her friends. It was about one o'clock in the morning.

1447
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,320
Speaker 3: You know, college kids, they're out late having a good time.

1448
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 3: A man by the name of Medina is His name

1449
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 3: is Jose Medina Medina. He's a Venezuelan criminal, illegal alien.

1450
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 3: He approached her wearing a mask and armed with a gun.

1451
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 3: This is all coming from home, lad insecurities account of

1452
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 3: what happened. She attempted to flee and then he fired

1453
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 3: his gun and shot her. Gorman was shot and pronounced

1454
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 3: dead at the scene. Now this is where it gets

1455
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 3: very disgusting. In May of twenty twenty three, Medina Medina

1456
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 3: was actually apprehended by the Biden Border Patrol and was released.

1457
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 3: So he was trying to get into the country, and

1458
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 3: Biden released this man into the country. Something else happened,

1459
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:06,800
Speaker 3: so he was again released in June of that year

1460
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 3: after he was arrested for shoplifting in Chicago. According to

1461
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 3: Homeland Security, Sharon and Gorman had her whole life ahead

1462
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 3: of her before this cold blooded killer decided to end

1463
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 3: her life. She was failed by open border policies and

1464
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 3: sanctuary politicians who released this illegal alien twice before he

1465
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:39,679
Speaker 3: went on to commit this heinous murder. So now you've

1466
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:43,520
Speaker 3: got Homeland Security calling on Governor J. B. Pritzker, the Democrat,

1467
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 3: and the Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, to stop releasing

1468
01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens into American neighborhoods. The ICE Director Todd

1469
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 3: Lyons in a letter to the Attorney General of Illinois

1470
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 3: Kwame raw Ooh, calling on him to put the safety

1471
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 3: of Americans first and honor ice arrest detainers of the

1472
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 3: more than four thousand criminal illegals in the state custody

1473
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 3: of Illinois. And by the way, we're talking about murderers,

1474
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:21,800
Speaker 3: sexual predators, people convicted of or charged with weapon violations.

1475
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 3: But again, when you listen to Senator Chris Murphy quote,

1476
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:33,559
Speaker 3: the people that we care about most are the undocumented migrants. Well,

1477
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 3: look a Chicago alder woman, her name is Maria Hadden,

1478
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 3: and she was asked to weigh in all of this,

1479
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:45,160
Speaker 3: and she said, really, the illegal alien is the real

1480
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 3: victim here, and maybe, just maybe the young lady is

1481
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 3: to blame for her death. I am not making this up.

1482
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen.

1483
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 6: All the time, right, and they go out on the pier,

1484
01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 6: they walk around so that the kids are out doing normal,

1485
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,639
Speaker 6: normal things people do in the neighborhood. And it sounds

1486
01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 6: like this might have been a wrong place, wrong time,

1487
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 6: running into a person who had a gun. They might

1488
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 6: have startled this person at the end of the year unintentionally.

1489
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 3: So she's saying that this was unintentional, that these girls

1490
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 3: were just out there and they startled the illegal and

1491
01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 3: that's why they were shot dead. So Chicago Mayor Johnson

1492
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 3: was asked about all of this today and given the

1493
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 3: opportunity to apologize to this poor young lady's family, take

1494
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 3: take a listen to Coup eleven going.

1495
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 8: To continue to pray for those victims.

1496
01:26:40,479 --> 01:26:45,799
Speaker 17: Will you think this opportunity to apologize to Sheridan's parents

1497
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 17: for the policies that need promoted, that have that directly

1498
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,799
Speaker 17: caused her death. Suspect would not be in the city,

1499
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 17: would not be in the country, but for your policies.

1500
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:58,200
Speaker 17: Will you take this opportunity to apologize.

1501
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 8: Again a share that we're all We're all grieving the

1502
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 8: loss of Sheridan and other folks who have lost their

1503
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:06,000
Speaker 8: lives because of since it's violence. And let's just be

1504
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 8: very clear between the Safety Act and the Welcoming City Ordinance.

1505
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 8: The Welcome to the City Ordinance was passed forty years

1506
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:14,360
Speaker 8: ago by the first black mayor and the history of Chicago,

1507
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 8: and the Safety Act was passed under the governor that time,

1508
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 8: it was a Republican governor Ronner.

1509
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 9: Thank you for your questions.

1510
01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 17: You will apologize to Sheridano.

1511
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 3: No apologies, no apologies whatsoever. That's the mayor of Chicago, who,

1512
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 3: by the way, went on to say this about putting

1513
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,639
Speaker 3: people in jail. Take a listen.

1514
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 11: We cannot incarcelrate our weight out of violence.

1515
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 9: We've already tried that.

1516
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: It is racist, it is immoral, is unholy, and it

1517
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,840
Speaker 1: is not the way to drive violence down.

1518
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, so the mayor is now saying that putting

1519
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:01,280
Speaker 3: people in jail is somehow racist, and I would love

1520
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 3: love for the mayor to extrapolate on that and explain

1521
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 3: why exactly it is racist to put somebody in jail

1522
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 3: for committing a crime. Now, there are some very radical

1523
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 3: people out there, and they actually believe that we should

1524
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 3: only be arresting people based upon their percentage of the

1525
01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 3: overall population. So let's just say if seventy percent, let's

1526
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 3: just say seventy percent. I'm just making these numbers up.

1527
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 3: So this is for all of the leftist that are

1528
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,000
Speaker 3: sitting in the basements monitoring the phone with the cheeto

1529
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 3: stained fingers. All right, So I'm just this is all

1530
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 3: just conjecture here. Let's say seventy percent of the of

1531
01:28:45,400 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 3: the population is white. Therefore, seventy percent of the population

1532
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 3: in prisons should be white. You say, well, wait a second,

1533
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,479
Speaker 3: what if seventy percent of the population doesn't commit crimes?

1534
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,639
Speaker 3: What if seventy percent of the criminal population is not Why,

1535
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,439
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. So let's just say, for the argument,

1536
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:07,599
Speaker 3: ten percent of the population is black, and you could

1537
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 3: you could have no more than ten percent of your

1538
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:13,759
Speaker 3: prison population be black. You said, well, wait a second,

1539
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 3: what if there is if the crime is committed at

1540
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 3: a disproportionate number among minorities like blacks, for example, are

1541
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 3: you telling me that, say, let's say that twenty five

1542
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 3: percent of the crimes are committed by black people. Are

1543
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 3: you telling me that we could only we can only

1544
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 3: have ten percent of those people in jail. Yes, there

1545
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 3: are people that literally believe that and that so for example,

1546
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 3: if in fact, you've got twenty five percent of the

1547
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,000
Speaker 3: criminals that are black and you put all twenty five

1548
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 3: percent in prison, therefore that makes you a racist. That

1549
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 3: that's what they believe. I mean, it's insane. And now

1550
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 3: you have people out there suggesting that really there are

1551
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,719
Speaker 3: no such things as criminals because the only reason people

1552
01:29:57,760 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 3: commit crimes is number one, they have access to a

1553
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 3: gun at number two. They are poor. So they would

1554
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 3: have you believe that poor people are the people out

1555
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,679
Speaker 3: there committing crimes. I'm just gonna say that's a load

1556
01:30:07,680 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 3: of huey. First of all, just because you're poor and

1557
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 3: does not mean that you're a criminal or that you

1558
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 3: are prone to committing criminal activity. As a matter of fact,

1559
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 3: I would contend that being poor or impoverished makes you

1560
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 3: more likely to be a law abiding citizen. And you say, Todd,

1561
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 3: why would you say that, Because most of the poor

1562
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 3: people in this commun in this nation are in fact

1563
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 3: people who go to church. They are Christians, they're doing

1564
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 3: their part. They work hard, they work hard, and for

1565
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 3: whatever reason they can't get ahead in life, but they

1566
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:44,640
Speaker 3: go to church. They're moral, they're good, decent people. The

1567
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 3: left would have you believe, The Democrats would have you

1568
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 3: believe that all poor people, you know, are just they

1569
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,600
Speaker 3: don't take care of their homes, or they live in

1570
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 3: trailer parks, and they don't wash their clothes, and they

1571
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,760
Speaker 3: don't feed their kids. That's all untrue. It's all on

1572
01:31:00,280 --> 01:31:02,080
Speaker 3: matter of fact, if you take a look at the

1573
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 3: criminal element out there. And I'll just say this because

1574
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 3: we have a front row view to all of this.

1575
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 3: In Memphis, we're over the weekend. A seven year old,

1576
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 3: a seven year old boy with two five dollars bills

1577
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 3: in his pocket, was walking home from the park in

1578
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 3: broad daylight, a seven year old, and he was rubbed

1579
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 3: at gunpoint by a fourteen year old. So we've got

1580
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 3: a front row view to all of this here in Memphis, Dylan.

1581
01:31:30,240 --> 01:31:33,240
Speaker 3: Most of the criminal thugs, I see the ones that

1582
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,240
Speaker 3: are out there running from the cops, the po po

1583
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 3: you know what. They're driving brand new don Chargers. They're

1584
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 3: not doing the they're not doing the donuts with the

1585
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 3: Toyota Corollas. They're doing the donuts with the high dollar

1586
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 3: of vehicles that are all souped up. They got the rims.

1587
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 3: A lot of money goes into those cars. They're wearing

1588
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 3: the finest clothes out there, from city gear. They're wearing

1589
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 3: the high dollar shoes. These are not poor people we're

1590
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 3: talking about here. I'm just want to point that out here,

1591
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:11,080
Speaker 3: so before you get off on this only poor people.

1592
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 3: That's a load of who. We gotta take a break.

1593
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,519
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six number.

1594
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, let's go

1595
01:32:29,560 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 3: to the phone lines. Brandon, Statesville, North Carolina, w SI C. Brandon,

1596
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?

1597
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 18: Oh, good afternoon, Ton, Thanks for taking my call. I

1598
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 18: wanted to talk about the crime and demographic stistic that

1599
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 18: you were just talking about a few minutes ago.

1600
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 14: Uh.

1601
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 18: You know, the left us love to live in this

1602
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 18: fantasy world where everything's fair and everything's equal. But the

1603
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 18: fact of the matter is that it has nothing to

1604
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 18: do with fair and equal. It has to do with

1605
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,679
Speaker 18: the American family and the American values.

1606
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 2: It's been under.

1607
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 18: Attacked for decades and you know, Charlie Kirky's just speak

1608
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 18: about it a lot. It's uh, it's fatherlessness is a

1609
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 18: huge problem in the United States. And I think that's

1610
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,439
Speaker 18: the pinary issue they we're seeing in these communities with

1611
01:33:14,520 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 18: high crime. This this family is falling apart and uh,

1612
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 18: and it's and it's taken an impact. Uh you know,

1613
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 18: generation after generation, it's just getting worse and worse.

1614
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well there's no doubt about that. And look,

1615
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 3: here's the deal. If you've got uh, and the problem

1616
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 3: is we're just not we're not addressing the problem directly

1617
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 3: head on here. That's that's the problem. For example, if

1618
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 3: you got a bunch of white people and they're out

1619
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 3: there rioting and they're burning down Beal Street, Uh yeah,

1620
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 3: then I'm calling out white parents, white moms and dans, No,

1621
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:53,240
Speaker 3: no doubt about that. As a matter of fact, we

1622
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 3: we've done that on this program. When it comes to

1623
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,840
Speaker 3: school shootings. You know, up until the past couple of years,

1624
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:01,799
Speaker 3: it was mostly a white white dudes committing those crimes.

1625
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 3: So I got no problem with that. But the reality is,

1626
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,320
Speaker 3: when you look at all of the problems facing America's

1627
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 3: young people, I think, by and large, it has everything

1628
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 3: to do with the fact that there's not a mom

1629
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 3: and a dad in the household. I think that's the

1630
01:34:15,320 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 3: bigger problem. Or you've got parents that simply don't want

1631
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:19,160
Speaker 3: to parent their.

1632
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 18: Kids all see agree with you?

1633
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 2: Good?

1634
01:34:22,120 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 18: I think I think taking the moms there of the households,

1635
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 18: you know, having school income households.

1636
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:30,360
Speaker 10: Like, as much as.

1637
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:33,839
Speaker 18: People might need that economically, there is a real cultural

1638
01:34:34,000 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 18: loss when there's not a steady parent around.

1639
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,679
Speaker 3: Gotta leave it there, Brandon, we are late for a break.

1640
01:34:40,720 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 3: We'll be a Ryan pack, everybody all right, heading to

1641
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:06,679
Speaker 3: Dallas to speak at Seapack. I'm not quite sure when

1642
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:10,400
Speaker 3: we haven't gotten the time yet, so it could be tomorrow,

1643
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 3: which means I'm gonna have to catch an early flight.

1644
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 3: But we'll let you know when we're gonna be down there.

1645
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:16,639
Speaker 3: I hope to see a lot of you folks down

1646
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,760
Speaker 3: at Seapack in Dallas. This is I think they're going

1647
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 3: to be having it over at the gay Lord, Texan,

1648
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 3: which is a really really nice facility, and it's so

1649
01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 3: much more manageable than the Grand Ole Opry there in Nashville.

1650
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 3: I want to go to our Patriot mobile use maker life.

1651
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 3: Hello to the congressman from Tennessee, our good friend, Congressman

1656
01:35:47,439 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 3: Know, it was pretty spectacular. Of course, most of the

1657
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 3: Tennessee congressional delegation was there with President Trump at the

1658
01:35:54,680 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 3: big Make America Safe Again roundtable. And I understand before

01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:01,559
Speaker 3: we jump into it, I understand that you and the

1660
01:36:01,600 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 3: other lawmakers were actually invited to join the President and

1661
01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 3: flying from our alago.

01:36:07,520 --> 01:36:10,160
Speaker 16: Well we well, we so I joined. There was a

1663
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 16: couple that that came in from our alago. I actually

1664
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:15,519
Speaker 16: joined in Memphis and flew with the President back to

1665
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,439
Speaker 16: DC and Todd, let me tell you what a just

1666
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:22,240
Speaker 16: pinched me moment, just incredible. We got we got on

1667
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 16: Air Force one before the president. He went out and

1668
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 16: toured Graceland and was a he said, was a great

1669
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 16: tour and just really enjoyed it. But we got on

1670
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 16: before he got on. We took we did take a

1671
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:35,360
Speaker 16: lot of pictures and UH, but they gave us a

1672
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:37,960
Speaker 16: tour of the full plane. So we got to see

1673
01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 16: the press area where staff is and the president, the

1674
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 16: President's office and his quarters, and then we got to

1675
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 16: talk to the pilots. It was, you know, for somebody

1676
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 16: who was a helicopter pilot in the Army and just

1677
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 16: an aviation enthusiast, it was a very cool moment for me.

1678
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:56,200
Speaker 16: And one I will absolutely never forget.

1679
01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:58,559
Speaker 3: Was that your first time on the on the Air Force.

1680
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 16: One, first time Air Force one, and you know, and

1681
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 16: so we were they put us in, they put the

1682
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 16: delegation in the UH in the President's part of the plane,

1683
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 16: but it was in the conference room and then where

1684
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 16: Senior staff is and so they it was really nice.

1685
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,639
Speaker 16: They had lunch ready for us, and right right as

1686
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 16: we uh, as we had sat down, you know, they

1687
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:22,679
Speaker 16: announced that the president it will be here in five minutes.

1688
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 16: And then the President is boarding and as we were

1689
01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 16: taking off, President came into the into the conference room

1690
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 16: and he sat down with us and uh, we we

1691
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 16: we just talked for for a good while, and then

1692
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 16: I think he had some other business to do and

1693
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 16: went back to his office. And then it was just

1694
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 16: that part of it was really cool. And then he

1695
01:37:44,160 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 16: also had us come back into his office and talked

1696
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 16: to him there too. I mean, just a very cool experience.

1697
01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 3: So I'm curious about the meal here, Congressman, because I fly,

1698
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,599
Speaker 3: I fly first class on Delta a lot and we're

1699
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:58,760
Speaker 3: we're lucky to get the Biscott cookies there. Uh what

1700
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 3: what was lunch like for you guys? Did they roll

1701
01:38:00,800 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 3: out the red carpet? They sure did?

1702
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 16: And let me let me tell you, as an Army guy,

1703
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:07,960
Speaker 16: sometimes it's it's hard for me to talk favor favorably

1704
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 16: about my Air Force colleagues. But was the Air Force

1705
01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:14,320
Speaker 16: is amazing and Air Force one is incredible. They had

1706
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 16: a really nice kind of box lunch ready for us

1707
01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 16: with really good food and brought us some diet cokes

1708
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:24,200
Speaker 16: and it just took care of us. You know, they

1709
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 16: had the the the presidential eminem's too, so I took

1710
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 16: a couple of boxes of those, one for one for

1711
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 16: my daughter and uh and and to hang on to one.

1712
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 16: So uh, just a really good I mean just world

1713
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:38,800
Speaker 16: class folks, and the Air Force are so so kind.

1714
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 16: President's staff was so kind and they just got us

1715
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:44,000
Speaker 16: settled and was a really special time.

1716
01:38:44,160 --> 01:38:46,280
Speaker 3: You see. I I was begging to hitch a ryne,

1717
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 3: but they said it was full, so I got bumped

1718
01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:50,760
Speaker 3: because of you guys, Congress, and thank you for that.

1719
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 3: Really appreciate you next time, hopefully next time. By the way,

1720
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 3: I'm just curious, so how long was the weight the

1721
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 3: TSA weight line for you to get all board at.

1722
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 16: Well, it's you know, our weight was like the weight

1723
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 16: that everyone should have because we were direct onto the

1724
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 16: plane and the Secret Service and the Air Force. Air

1725
01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:15,000
Speaker 16: Force one folks made it really easy for us. And

1726
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 16: and that is that's what we should have. We've got it,

1727
01:39:17,479 --> 01:39:20,240
Speaker 16: We've got it. We the Democrats need to fund DHS

1728
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 16: and that's a whole separate topic, but they were very

1729
01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:26,240
Speaker 16: accommodating for us and got us through quick.

1730
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm glad to hear that, and I do

1731
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 3: want to get into Memphis in just a moment. But

1732
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 3: on that, on that issue, the fact of the matter

1733
01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,840
Speaker 3: is ice. You know, the President dispatched ice to what

1734
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 3: fourteen airports around the country, and it's our understanding weight

1735
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:42,679
Speaker 3: lines have pretty much have all but disappeared. But again,

1736
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:45,480
Speaker 3: they they wouldn't have to be there if the Democrats

1737
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 3: would just fund homeland security.

1738
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 16: That's right, you know. And this this president, he's he's

1739
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 16: a leader, and he sees these creative solutions and hey,

1740
01:39:55,840 --> 01:39:59,800
Speaker 16: let's let's deploy It was his idea, let's deploy be

1741
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,680
Speaker 16: ice and mortar patrol to help with not with the

1742
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:08,320
Speaker 16: screening part, but to with security around the airport so

1743
01:40:08,400 --> 01:40:11,639
Speaker 16: that more PSA personnel can do the screening and focus

1744
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,680
Speaker 16: on that part of the mission that is critically important.

1745
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 16: And you know, the President sees these solutions, but he

1746
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 16: shouldn't have to do that because we have obstructionist Democrats

1747
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,080
Speaker 16: who are putting illegal aliens in front of the safety

1748
01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 16: of America and that's that's unacceptable. They have got to

1749
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 16: fund home land security at a at the full amount

1750
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:34,559
Speaker 16: and ensure that all of these folks who are not

1751
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 16: getting paid right now that are protecting our homeland, who

1752
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:42,400
Speaker 16: are just great professionals, get the paychecks that they deserve

1753
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:46,559
Speaker 16: because they have very important jobs keeping our country safe.

1754
01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 3: Congressman mad Van Apps from Tennessee joining us today on

1755
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 3: the on the show, You know, Congressman, back to Memphis.

1756
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,800
Speaker 3: I'm just curious to hear your overall thoughts about how

1757
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 3: quickly things have checked for the better and what was

1758
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 3: once the largest city in Tennessee.

1759
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:10,040
Speaker 16: Well, in Memphis is just an amazing city and with

1760
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:13,360
Speaker 16: rich history and great culture, and it's just a it's

1761
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 16: a wonderful place. But as you've noted, it had the

1762
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:18,600
Speaker 16: highest in twenty twenty four, had the highest rate of

1763
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:22,679
Speaker 16: violent crime per capita, with elevated rates for murder and robbery,

1764
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,680
Speaker 16: aggravated assaul property crime, you name it. And just in

1765
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,479
Speaker 16: the last six months with the Memphis Safe Task Force

1766
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,520
Speaker 16: going into place, and we're talking about twenty two federal agencies,

1767
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 16: state and local police, fifteen hundred members of just the

1768
01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:42,519
Speaker 16: incredible National Guard, we've seen just historic drops in crime

1769
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 16: twenty seven percent decrease in overall, twenty six percent decrease

1770
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 16: in murders, forty eight percent decrease in carjackings. The numbers

1771
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 16: go on, and I think the other statistic that was

1772
01:41:53,479 --> 01:41:56,400
Speaker 16: talked about yesterday at the event is that crime is

1773
01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:00,080
Speaker 16: at a one hundred and twenty year low because of

1774
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 16: this collaborative effort led by the President, supported by Governor

1775
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 16: Lee and all of these just amazing law enforcement professionals

1776
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 16: and Todd. I mean we were there together, and to

1777
01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:15,600
Speaker 16: see just the crowd of those law enforcement professionals, the

1778
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 16: outpouring of support, all of the people that are working

1779
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 16: to make America safe again, to make Memphis safe again,

1780
01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 16: I mean, it was humbling, an incredible disease, and I'm

1781
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 16: just so glad to play a very little part in that.

1782
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting the mayor of Memphis was not there,

1783
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:36,160
Speaker 3: the police chief of Memphis was not there, the county mayor,

1784
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:39,080
Speaker 3: all Democrats, by the way, we're not there. And it

1785
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:41,679
Speaker 3: just seems to me that, if nothing else, they ought

1786
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:44,360
Speaker 3: to be thanking President Trump because they've gotten over seven

1787
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 3: thousand very dangerous people off the streets. They found just

1788
01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 3: well over one hundred kids that have been missing I

1789
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 3: don't understand why people are out there protesting when they

1790
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 3: ought to be celebrating and thanking the president for what

1791
01:42:58,160 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 3: he did.

1792
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 16: I mean, this is a president who means what he says,

1793
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:07,880
Speaker 16: who sees these hard problems that have not had solutions before,

1794
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:10,800
Speaker 16: and he takes a very smart and creative approach to

1795
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 16: getting this done. It started in DC, and what was

1796
01:43:14,479 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 16: a very great operation in DC was replicated. And Memphis

1797
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 16: is such a good example of the National Guard, the

1798
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:29,559
Speaker 16: Memphis Police Department, a cbpatf DEA Homeland Security, the Marshall's

1799
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 16: Tennessee Highway Control. The list goes on of these professionals

1800
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 16: who have come together to solve this really hard problem

1801
01:43:36,800 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 16: and they're continuing to solve it today. And I think

1802
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 16: this president deserves so much credit in driving this solution,

1803
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 16: not just here, but I think the other thing is

1804
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:50,840
Speaker 16: very importantly. This is a framework example for what we

1805
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:54,840
Speaker 16: can do across the country success that's happening elsewhere in

1806
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,439
Speaker 16: the country. It's something as I sit on the Homeland

1807
01:43:57,479 --> 01:44:01,040
Speaker 16: Security Committee that I've brought up and talked about just

1808
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 16: as a great example of the Memphis Safe Task Force

1809
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 16: being that element in that team that provides an example

1810
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:10,879
Speaker 16: for how we can operate across the country.

1811
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 3: I just think that's terrific. Well, Congressman where it's just

1812
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 3: an honor to have you on the show. Great to

01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 3: All right, Congressman Matt Van Epps from Tennessee. Everybody will

1821
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:39,240
Speaker 3: get him back on very soon. Congressman, thank you. And

1822
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 3: again they got the I mean, they roll out the

1823
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 3: red carpet for folks on Air Force one. But Dylan,

Speaker 3: They're very tasty from what I hear. I'll tell you.

1828
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:56,960

1834
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,120

01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 3: ninety seconds. So you can get whatever you can. We're

1843
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 9: That's a that's a lot of pressure. Like what do

1844
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 9: you do. You have to like think about what you're

1845
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 9: going to say, like way ahead of time.

1846
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:42,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I just said I told him. I said, man,

1847
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 3: God bless I told him. I said, God bless you,

1848
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:48,880
Speaker 3: mister president. You saved our city. Yeah, and he was like, man,

Speaker 3: it was bad, wasn't I'm like, yes, it was bad.

1850
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:54,320
Speaker 3: And then he told me a story and I'm like okay.

1851
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 3: And then the person came in and like, mister President,

1852
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:58,680
Speaker 3: we got to go. Literally I was holding up the

1853
01:45:58,840 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 3: entire event at that time.

1854
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 9: So that's pretty cool. Though.

1855
01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 3: Then Pam Bondy we kind of like bonded so we

01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,840
Speaker 3: had we bonded, Pam bonded with Bondy. Yeah, she sold

01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:11,360
Speaker 3: me pictures. I guess she was at the They had

1858
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:14,839
Speaker 3: a big baby shower for Caroline Leavitt over the weekend

1859
01:46:15,080 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 3: and I believe it was in Washington and show me pictures. Great,

1860
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 3: it was like they had a great time.

1861
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 9: You guys are it sounds like you're like best friends BFFs.

1862
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 3: I was talking to the US attorneys. She was like, guys,

1863
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 3: they need to talk to Stearns for a second. I'm like,

1864
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 3: oh wow, all right. Then she told me some stuff

1865
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,400
Speaker 3: off the record that I can't repeat.

1866
01:46:34,479 --> 01:46:34,679
Speaker 9: Wow.

1867
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,800
Speaker 3: I know, there you go, but I will say this.

1868
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:43,400
Speaker 3: They listen, they listened to this show. I'm just telling

1869
01:46:43,439 --> 01:46:47,960
Speaker 3: you this crazy story before we go to break. Are

1870
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 3: you familiar with Jim Brewer Saturday Night Live.

1871
01:46:51,640 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 9: I'm not.

1872
01:46:52,200 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 3: He's one of their committee. He's a funny guy. Actually,

1873
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 3: so he and his wife were He wanted to treat

1874
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:00,839
Speaker 3: his wife to a vacation in Hawaii, so he booked

1875
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 3: first class tickets. And let me just say something. If

1876
01:47:03,240 --> 01:47:05,759
Speaker 3: you're going to Hawaii that is like a six hour trip.

1877
01:47:06,120 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 3: If you can't go first class, don't go because it

1878
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 3: is a long, miserable journey. And so he and his

1879
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:21,000
Speaker 3: wife he bought first class tickets thousands of dollars and

1880
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:23,719
Speaker 3: so they're getting settled in their seats. This is American

1881
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:28,559
Speaker 3: Airlines and Dylan. They're getting settled, and they had already

1882
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 3: pre ordered all their meals, and I will tell you this,

1883
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 3: of the meals are actually really good. These you know

1884
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:35,639
Speaker 3: in first class. You know, we like to poke fund,

1885
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 3: but they're really good, especially on the long half flights.

1886
01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 3: And this was a long half light. So anyway, they

1887
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:43,599
Speaker 3: sit down and then the flight attendant comes over and goes, oh,

1888
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 3: you're going to have to give up your seats, and

1889
01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:49,639
Speaker 3: they're like, wait what. And so he and his wife

1890
01:47:49,800 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 3: were told that there were two pilots, American Airline pilots

1891
01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 3: that were dead heading, so they were they had to

1892
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 3: ride on the flight. And there's an American Airlines rule

1893
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:03,000
Speaker 3: that the pilots are only allowed to fly first class.

1894
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:07,720
Speaker 3: So Jim Brewer and his wife got booted back to

1895
01:48:07,920 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 3: like the middle seats. It's like one of the big jetliners,

1896
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:14,520
Speaker 3: and they got they had to sit in the middle seats.

1897
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:20,160
Speaker 3: It was terrible. So anyway, he goes off about this

1898
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 3: and he was like, this is nuts because they didn't

1899
01:48:22,800 --> 01:48:26,719
Speaker 3: give him a refund. They gave him additional first class

1900
01:48:26,720 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 3: seats to wherever they can go. And I think I

1901
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:31,840
Speaker 3: was like, dude, I'm taking my wife to Hawaii. This

1902
01:48:31,920 --> 01:48:33,920
Speaker 3: is a special moment. It's not like I'm going to

1903
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 3: fly to Hawaii again. And so they gave him a

1904
01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:45,160
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars voucher. Unbelievable, and so people, you know,

1905
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 3: he's really upset. He went online and he's and again,

1906
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,640
Speaker 3: this is Saturday Night Live Star they're treating like this

1907
01:48:51,280 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 3: and did a video. It went viral. Thousands of people

1908
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:57,800
Speaker 3: are jumping in and they're saying, what is going on here?

1909
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 3: And the problem is, it's like going through a maze

1910
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 3: to try and get your ten thousand dollars refund, because

1911
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,519
Speaker 3: that's that's how much ten thousand dollars those tickets were.

1912
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 3: So it's not like chump change. I mean, that's a

1913
01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,960
Speaker 3: lot of money. I don't care who you are. So,

1914
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:17,519
Speaker 3: according to American Airlines, they only give refunds for bag fees,

1915
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 3: pet fees, priority boarding, same day flight change, or in

1916
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 3: an unaccompanied minor fee. So if you buy, if you

1917
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:26,559
Speaker 3: spend ten thousand dollars on an airline ticket and then

1918
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 3: there's a pilot on board, he gets your seat and

1919
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:36,240
Speaker 3: you don't get a refund. Unbelievable. So then mister Brewer

1920
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 3: said that he contacted the Department of Transportation, finally heard

1921
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:42,720
Speaker 3: from somebody, and he said, look, this is not how

1922
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 3: a paying customer should have to deal with this. And

1923
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:49,560
Speaker 3: this guy's like a a TV star. Can you imagine

1924
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 3: just regular joes. I'm just telling you this is one

1925
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 3: of the reasons why people just hate flying. You know

1926
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 3: that did't having to stay in line for four hours.

1927
01:49:58,520 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 3: All right, got to take a break. This is Ton

1928
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 3: Sterns Show. All right, welcome back. This is the Ton

1929
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 3: Sterns radio Show. This is interesting. There is an interview

1930
01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,519
Speaker 3: and we'll play this tomorrow. We'll get this audio on

1931
01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:30,040
Speaker 3: tomorrow's show. There were a three Belgian radio hosts and

1932
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:33,400
Speaker 3: they're generating a lot of controversy because they did a

1933
01:50:33,439 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 3: bit of video segment where they actually destroyed statues of

1934
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:46,280
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ and also I believe Mary and they're all

1935
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,840
Speaker 3: giggling about it. It's a video. They took baseball bats

1936
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:53,040
Speaker 3: and they literally destroyed these statues. So anyway, they're doing

1937
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 3: an interview and they're explaining why, and they're saying, well,

1938
01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 3: you know, Belgium is not really all that much of

1939
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:02,679
Speaker 3: a religious country, so we thought it was kind of funny,

1940
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:06,800
Speaker 3: and I think it generated enough controversy to where they realized, oh,

1941
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,439
Speaker 3: we better come up with a good excuse. And they said, well,

1942
01:51:09,680 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 3: the statues were already broken, and so we just you know,

1943
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,240
Speaker 3: finished the job. So then the host, and this is

1944
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:22,000
Speaker 3: a brilliant question. The host said, well, well, wait a second,

1945
01:51:23,080 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 3: would you have destroyed those statues if they would have

1946
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:28,680
Speaker 3: been of the prophet Muhammad? And that's when they all

1947
01:51:28,720 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 3: turned white as a ghost, which is pretty white if

1948
01:51:31,439 --> 01:51:37,759
Speaker 3: you're Belgium. And they're like, oh, well you know, we no, no, no, no,

1949
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 3: we wouldn't. We would never even think about doing something

1950
01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 3: like that. And here's the quote. When asked if they

1951
01:51:44,360 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 3: would destroy Islamic symbols, they say, no, that would be

1952
01:51:48,760 --> 01:51:56,240
Speaker 3: inappropriate because there are lots of Muslims living in Belgium,

1953
01:51:57,640 --> 01:52:00,320
Speaker 3: you see what I mean. So they're all giggly. I mean,

1954
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,519
Speaker 3: they were literally giggling and laughing about, you know, destroying

1955
01:52:03,560 --> 01:52:06,920
Speaker 3: the statues of Jesus Christ. But when it came time

1956
01:52:06,960 --> 01:52:11,639
Speaker 3: to even asking the question. They just freaked out. I mean,

1957
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:15,360
Speaker 3: they just they got they got scared, just of the

1958
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 3: question being asked. Going back to what we talked about

1959
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,160
