Speaker 3: of you are glad that our border has been shored up,

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,480

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,759

Speaker 3: How many of you folks are happy that you have

27
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: lower prices at the grocery store. And the fact of

28
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: the matter is that in some places around the country

29
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: gas is either two dollars a gallon or maybe even

30
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,080

00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,480

50
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: no longer allowed to go into girls locker rooms across America?

51
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: What about all of you Americans that were really upset

52
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: over the weaponization of our federal agencies. Many of you,

53
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: like yours truly, were targeted by the Internal Revenue Service

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: simply because you happen to be a conservative. Or all

55
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 3: of you Catholics out there, some of your church parishes

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: were targeted by FBI agents who were trying to infiltrate

57
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: your congregations, try to turn your priest against you. Are

58
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: you happy that that's all ended? What about all you

59
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: folks that were very concerned about the United States military

60
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: being turned into a massive drag show operation where men

61
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: and women were prancing around in high heels and penteos

62
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: but now we have returned to the warrior ethos. How

63
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: many of you are happy about all of that? Any

64
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: of you happy? I think both? Ellan, what about you?

65
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 3: I know you're not a political guy, but are you happy?

66
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 3: I mean, are you glad all of those things have

67
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: been done?

68
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: I'm more happy than I was a couple of years ago. Yeah.

69
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 3: So I would say that just about everybody listening to

70
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: this program is very happy with what has happened over

71
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: the past what year and two months of the Trump administration.

72
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: So here's Mike question, what the hell is wrong with

73
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: you people?

74
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 5: What?

75
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 6: What?

76
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: Seriously? What's wrong with you? So yesterday we had primaries

77
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: in Texas and North Carolina and the Democrats. Wow, the

78
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: Democrats turned out in massive numbers, and the Republicans, when

79
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: it came to turnout, had their butts handed to them.

80
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: And there's really no polite way to say this. I'm

81
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: just trying to I'm trying to understand your psyche ladies

82
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, because this has been going on for a while,

83
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 3: and every single time we've had a special election, every

84
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: time there's been some sort of a ballot box issue.

85
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: Since Donald J. Trump got liked it, the Republicans just

86
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,559
Speaker 3: aren't showing up. You guys are just not showing well, Todd.

87
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 3: It's because, well, we just have so many things to

88
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: do and the races are just not all that important. Well,

89
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: the races yesterday were very important, very important, and I

90
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: understand that yesterday was just a primary. I just I'm

91
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: trying to help I'm trying to help you by conveying

92
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: the importance and the significance of what's about to happen

93
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: in November. And if we do not turn this around,

94
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: we will lose. Well, I think we've already lost the

95
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: big mo, the big mo being momentum, and there's no

96
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 3: reason for us to lose momentum. Donald Trump is crushing

97
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: it right now and we're going to get to the

98
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 3: war in just a moment. But I want to I

99
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: want to start out by finding out what the heck

100
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 3: is going on here now in North Carolina. I'm going

101
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: to give you an example. You've got Roy Cooper, who

102
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 3: is a very popular guy. And Roy Cooper sorry, changing

103
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: my headphones out. Roy Cooper a they're calling him a

104
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: moderate Democrat and he won the Democrat primary ninety two

105
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: percent of the vote. That's what we call a good

106
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: old fashioned butt whapon. Now on the Republican side, you

107
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 3: had Michael Wattley and Don Brown. You know, it's interesting,

108
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought Michelle Morrow was going to

109
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: do well. She came in one fourth place here among

110
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: the many candidates, and Mikey had four hundred and four

111
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: ninety nine votes. Now I know Michael Wattley, I know

112
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: Don Brown. Don Brown, by the way, was considered to

113
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: be the the MAGA candidate in the race, a former

114
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: Navy jag officer. Michelle Morrow was the former Republican nominee

115
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: for superintendent. But again Don Brown was And I can't

116
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: tell you how many messages I got from across North

117
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: Carolina saying Don Brown's the guy. He's going to upset

118
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: Michael Wattley. We've got to get behind Nobody got behind

119
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: the guy. Nobody got behind Don Brown. We had Don

120
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: on the show a couple of times or two, and

121
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: he had a good message. But it's an electability issue.

122
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: And let me just say this for you MAGA folk

123
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: out there, the America First crowd, You've got to really

124
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: start doing your homework on the electability factor and whether

125
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: or not whether or not your candidate who may be

126
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: a very nice person, and Don Brown, I have no doubt,

127
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: would have made a great senator. But when you're getting

128
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: butt thumped four hundred and four thousand votes to ninety

129
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: seven thousand, that's not a viable candidate. And that tells

130
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: me Don Brown was never a viable candidate. Takes nothing

131
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: away from this very good, very decent man, but we've

132
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: got to start thinking smart here. But here's the deal.

133
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: If yesterday were a general election, here's what would have happened.

134
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: The Senate would have lost a Republican senator, because whoever

135
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: wins is going to replace Tom Tillis. We would have

136
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: lost a We would have lost a Republican Senate seat

137
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: because the Democrats brought out more than eight hundred thousand voters,

138
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: the Republicans only six hundred and twenty five thousand. And again,

139
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: if this was this is all about MAGA and supporting

140
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,479
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys had a reason to go Republicans.

141
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: You had a reason to go and vote yesterday in

142
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,239
Speaker 3: North Carolina, and either you did not or the reality

143
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: is that North Carolina is a blue state. Now, I mean,

144
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: it's one or the other. And I'm curious to hear

145
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 3: what your thoughts on that nine oh one two six

146
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. I'm just genuinely interested in

147
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: what happened there. That's nine oh one two six zero

148
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: five nine two six. Now in Texas, pardon me, in

149
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: Texas getting choked up. But in Texas, the same thing

150
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: happened in the Senate race. And by the way, Congressman

151
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: Wesley Hunt, sir, what were you thinking. I'm just going

152
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: to say this, and I know this is going to

153
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: be ludicrous, but I truly believe that the corn In

154
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: campaign actually encouraged Wesley Hunt to jump into the race,

155
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: because had Wesley Hunt not jumped into the race, Ken

156
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: Paxton would have won, would have exceeded the fifty percent

157
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: threshold and would not have had to go into a

158
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: primary a runoff election. Pardon me. And by the way,

159
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: Corning's team is coming out and now is attacking Wesley Hunt.

160
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: If I'm Wesley Hunt today, I'm coming out and I'm

161
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: endorsing and throwing my support behind KEM. Paxton. But here's

162
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: the issue there, two point one million people came out

163
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: to vote on the Republican side of the isle. This

164
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: is in Texas, ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, two point two

165
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: million Democrats came out to vote on the other side

166
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: of the aisle. This is in Texas. So again, if

167
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 3: the election, if this was the actual general election yesterday,

168
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: we would be losing control of not only the House

169
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 3: of Representatives, we would have also lost control of the

170
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: US Senate. That's where all of this is going. So

171
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 3: my question is what's going on. What is it going

172
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: to take to get you Republicans out to the ballot box.

173
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: You guys had a reason, you had a reason to

174
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: go and vote in Texas yesterday. Reason was to send

175
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: a message to rhinos like John Cordon and Ken Pankston.

176
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 3: I'm sorry John Cornyon rather and Dan Krinshaw. Pax is

177
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: not a rhino. Dankrinshaw got his butt handed to him.

178
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: He got booted out. He's sort of like the Liz

179
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: Cheney with an eye patch and he's gone now. So

180
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: he lost his primary race. And we'll get into more

181
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: of that in just a little while. But I'm just curious,

182
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 3: why is it that you Republicans are not getting out

183
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: to vote, Because if this trend continues, we're gonna get

184
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: our butts handed to us in the midterms. And it

185
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be that way. I just want to

186
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: tell you things are going great right now in America.

187
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is delivering on all of his campaign promises.

188
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: Our military's kicking butt right now. Over in Iran, the

189
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: economy's doing great. So I'm just curious, what is it?

190
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: Why is it that Republican are not turning out for

191
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: the vote. Again, our telephone number nine to one two six

192
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. I'm going to be taking

193
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: your calls on this. Would love to hear from all

194
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: of you, no matter if you're in Texas or North Carolina. Virginia,

195
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: for example. In Virginia is another great example of that

196
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: Republicans predominantly stayed home and did not get out and vote,

197
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: and they basically handed their state over to radical Democrats.

198
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: Help me understand that. Let's go to Cordova, Tennessee. Bill

199
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: is listening to us on KWAM, our flagship station. Bill

200
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: helped me out here. Well, what what's your take on

201
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: this voter turnout problem?

202
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 7: Well, Todd, I'll tell you apathy or a complacency. I

203
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 7: don't know. These people just don't get it. These Republicans

204
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: don't get it. And the last election that we had

205
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 7: in Shelby County Steve Cohen. I'm sorry. I was going

206
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 7: to say the voters and Tennessee District mine turned out

207
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 7: and the Democrats won the county completely, and it's because

208
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 7: Republicans stayed home. If one more for some Republicans would

209
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 7: have turned out to vote, we would have had everything

210
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 7: except Cohen's office, of course, but that's a whole other story.

211
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 7: But these people just need to get off their butts

212
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 7: and go vote.

213
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 8: That's all there is to it.

214
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 7: They need to realize just what you said, we have

215
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 7: it made in this country right now, Donald Trump is

216
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: doing everything he promised, he's delivering and even this war

217
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 7: is a delivery. If you look at the broad picture,

218
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 7: everything that Trump's trying to do really kind of hinges

219
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 7: on that if you take geopolitics into account. But we

220
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 7: got to convince people that they have to get out

221
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 7: and vote. If we're going we're going to lose our

222
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 7: country at some point.

223
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: Bill, I do wonder, and maybe you can help me

224
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: understand this. I'm wondering if these people like and it's

225
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: really a a significant wing of the party, and they've

226
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: got the ear of the young people of the party,

227
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: the Tuckers and the Candice Owens, Marjorie Taylor Green's and

228
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: Megan Kelly's Steve Bannon. Are those guys powerful enough to

229
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 3: soften the voter turnout? And I'm wondering if that's if

230
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: that's playing into all of this.

231
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 7: I think that's a good possibility. There's this is too

232
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 7: much going on and these people. We've got to figure

233
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 7: how to get these people out to vote. I told

234
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 7: a couple of people that the key to this isn't

235
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 7: really campaigning for our candidates, but it's campaigning against the Democrats.

236
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 7: We need billboards to say, you know, Steve Cohen voted

237
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 7: against no tax on Social Security, Steve Cohen voted against

238
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 7: no tax on overtime. And because people in this county,

239
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: they don't.

240
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: Watch well, this is a national well, this is a

241
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 3: national radio shows. A lot of people don't know who

242
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: Steve Cohen is or where Shelby County is, which is

243
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: in Memphis. But but again, I think this is an

244
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: issue that everybody, everybody better pay attention to or we're

245
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 3: going to be dealing with two years of around the

246
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: clock and peach A looses. That's what's going to happen here. Bill.

247
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: I got to run, folks, We got to take a break.

Speaker 3: Let's start the day in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Jack

274
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: is listening to us on WSJS. What a great radio station.

275
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: Hi Jack, what's on your mind?

276
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 9: Hi dood, Thanks for taking my call. Just wanted to

277
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 9: talk and maybe get your take on You were asking

278
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 9: about the decrease in voter turnout, especially with the Republican Party,

279
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 9: and but I was wondering what you think the leading

280
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 9: causes because you you cited that, uh, that Trump's doing

281
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 9: everything that he promised, and that the economy is great

282
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 9: and and all the all the pros to right now.

283
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 9: But I think that the decrease in voter turnout with

284
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 9: probably counter each of those points with examples of how

285
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 9: he's not doing what he promised. And he's.

286
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: Give me an example of that, Jack, of what the

287
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: promise is. Yeah, one thing, one thing that President Trump

288
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: has backtracked. Is it President Trump or is it Congress?

289
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 9: Well, the correlation of the two given the majority in

290
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 9: both both House and Senate of the Republican Party and

291
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 9: then also with Trump felt I guess, first, just specific

292
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 9: to Trump, specific and immediate, I guess would be the

293
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 9: conflict right now in Iran would be a vow to

294
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 9: one not engaged in armed conflict with Iran, and then

295
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 9: more broadly and more repeatedly during the campaign not to

296
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 9: engage in foreign affairs for democratic purposes and the like.

297
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: But we're not doing regime change. We're not doing regime change.

298
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I think we're just blowing

299
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: them to Kingdom come. But that is to make sure

300
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 3: they don't hurt us on American soil or Americans abroad.

301
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 9: Well, the concern that they would launch an attack on

302
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 9: American soil or American territory abroad still is. I mean,

303
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 9: regardless whether it's international law, which is in binding, granted,

304
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 9: but whether it's international law or domestic law.

305
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: So you think, people, I want to get because the

306
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: computer's going to cut us off here real quick. You

307
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: believe one of the reasons why Republicans did not turn

308
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: out yesterday is because of what's happening with iron I do.

309
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 9: Right now because the cold among the Republican guys just

310
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 9: think that's one. I don't think it's even.

311
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: Okay, no, but that's one of them. No, I understand.

335
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: I had to tell you the Democrat Senate race in Texas,

336
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 3: what a hoot you had Jasmine Crockett and James Tollerico,

337
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: who is a he is really the poster boy for

338
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: the American soy boy demographic, and he's a he's a

339
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 3: Presbyterian theologian, and he's a radical progressive, not so much

340
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: Billy Graham as much as he is Al Sharpton. All right,

341
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: So that that should give you some idea. This guy

342
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: literally believes there are six genders, that God is non binary,

343
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 3: that the Bible supports gay marriage, and that the virgin

344
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 3: birth was an example of why the Bible is pro abortion.

345
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: So they literally this guy literally believes that Mary could

346
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: have aborted baby Jesus. No, no, I'm just telling you

347
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: this is what the guy believes. Unbelievable. Oh he also

348
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: says that men that men should be able to have

349
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: abortions as well. Uh yeah, uh Jesu a loop. So

350
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: there you go. That's the guy that won the nomination.

351
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: Here's the problem. That guy is very crafty and he's

352
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: uh he's a friendly guy, you know, good looking guy.

353
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 3: He doesn't scream and yell. He doesn't look like a

354
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: you know, a crazy woman like uh what Jasmine Crockett.

355
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: So this guy depending on who the nominee is. And

356
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: by the way, that's John Cornyn's argument that if Ken

357
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: Paxton is the nominee, then tall Ico's gonna win the

358
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 3: Senate race. I looked, everybody's a Baptist in Texas, including

359
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: the Catholics. Everybody's got a little Baptist in him. I

360
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: don't I don't see any good, God fearing Baptist voting

361
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 3: for a guy who believes that Mary could have aborted Jesus.

362
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: That's just me but throwing that out there for you.

363
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 3: All Right, let's get back to the phones here. Nine

364
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Let's

365
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 3: say hello to Charles in North Carolina. All right, Charles,

366
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: what helped me out here? What happened yesterday?

367
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 2: Uh?

368
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 10: Todd, I'll tell you exactly what happened.

369
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 8: Uh.

370
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 10: And I hope that people in the White House in

371
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 10: Congress that some of them are listening to your show

372
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 10: and can hear what I'm getting ready to say. The

373
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 10: Republican base is really pissed off at Congress. That's what's

374
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 10: going on. How the US House of Representatives and john

375
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 10: and the US Senate. In my circle of friends that

376
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 10: I've talked to on a daily basis about politics, I

377
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 10: don't know one person that is happy with Mike Johnson

378
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 10: or Johnson. The Congress has been nothing but all rhetoric

379
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 10: and hot air and no results. No executive orders probably

380
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 10: have had been codified. The Department of Education is still

381
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 10: getting funded. Illegal aliens are still getting money. When you

382
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 10: had the deportations going on in Minneapolis, rather than come

383
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 10: to the support of ICE of what they were doing,

384
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 10: a lot of members of Congress were just cotally styled.

385
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 10: While the Democrats were out there in the streets. I

386
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 10: never saw one protest out there in support of ICE officers.

387
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 10: Then you've got this spending that's still at Biden spending levels,

388
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 10: you know, two trillion dollar deficits inflation. I mean it's

389
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 10: flowed a lot because I think but a lot of

390
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 10: those prices are still baked in there. And then you've

391
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 10: got to say back that they can't even they can't

392
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 10: even pass that. It's just like Republicans keep getting ready

393
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 10: to get ready, they get analysis paralysis and they don't

394
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 10: do squad and so Republican voters are just thinking, well,

395
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 10: what's the point we gave you guys power? You're sitting

396
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 10: on your butts. You say you're going to do something,

397
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 10: but then you don't do it. I mean, right now,

398
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 10: we just have a government this rule, you know, but

399
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 10: we're executive orders and practically nothing from Congress. They're always

400
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 10: on vacation. They're just it's just they're a wall. And

401
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 10: people are just sick and tired of Republicans in Congress,

402
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 10: like Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, and uh I think John Cornyn,

403
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 10: uh I disagree with him. I think Kim Paxton could

404
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 10: easily defeat Celler Rooks.

405
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 3: And here's the difference between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton,

406
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: Ken Pankston. Look, people will vote for John Cornyn because

407
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: he's the republic If he's the Republican nominitee, they'll vote

408
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 3: for the guy. But they're not going to go above

409
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: and beyond for somebody like Ken Paxton. They will, they

410
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: will storm the gates of hell for that guy. And

411
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: that's the level of support. Yet again, look at that.

412
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: Just understand this what Cornyn has been in the Senate

413
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 3: for well over twenty years. These incumbents normally win. For

414
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: cornn not only not to win just like flat out win,

415
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: but he barely barely got what forty two percent of

416
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: the vote. That is shocking. And again the spoiler in

417
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: that was really Wesley Otherwise, Ken Paxton today would be

418
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 3: the Republican nominee for the US Senate.

419
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 10: Easily, easily that you know, you're one hundred percent right

420
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 10: to it. But it's just this inaction by members of Congress,

421
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 10: and you know they're they're just they're so disconnected from

422
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 10: their constituents. I think they like to hang out at

423
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 10: the cocktail parties. They don't want to be disliked, they

424
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 10: don't want to be considered controversial. They're just not really

425
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 10: taking a stand for anything. And there's a lot of

426
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 10: issues todd if they're not addressing that are still important

427
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 10: to the American people, like like healthcare. I mean, how

428
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 10: that repealing Obamacare and replacing it with with some type

429
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 10: of private plan.

430
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,479
Speaker 3: They don't have a plan and they've never had they

431
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 3: have nothing plan. Yeah, they've never had a plan. Look,

432
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: here's the so what you're saying, I want to see

433
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 3: if I understand that. So it's really not so much

434
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 3: Donald Trump as it is the Senate and the House.

435
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 10: Correct. I think people see Donald Trump out there trying

436
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 10: to be the general and lead the charge and lead

437
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,479
Speaker 10: the troops. But the Republicans are just sitting there by

438
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 10: the campfires that don't want to get up, and they're

439
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 10: not they're not doing anything. And people, we're ready for action.

440
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 10: We want results.

441
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 11: We're tired of the.

442
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 10: Years and years of losing ground, you know, losing our

443
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 10: kids to all these indoctrinated schools and colleges. They're still

444
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 10: getting funded. I mean, just look what happened two months ago.

445
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 10: All these kids and running out of high schools and everything.

446
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 10: It's just we feel like we're losing and and the

447
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 10: Republicans just aren't. They don't they're not strong enough. They're

448
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 10: just week week weeks that have no spot.

449
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 3: All right, all right, Charles, I think we've got it there,

450
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 3: and I appreciate you calling in, and look, here's the deal.

451
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: I'm going to be speaking to Mike Johnson later this evening,

452
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 3: and I want to be able to I'm putting together

453
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 3: some ideas. I think that they are going to have

454
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: to do a much much better job of communicating exactly

455
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 3: what they have done already and why they haven't followed

456
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: through on the rest of the president's agenda. They've got

457
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: to be that direct with the American people. And I'll

458
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: just I will suggest this as well. You know, the

459
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 3: conservative media has been balkanized, right, Not everybody watches Fox

460
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: News or Newsmax anymore. You've got so many other choices.

461
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: And when you're looking at, for example, I'll just tell

462
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: you primetime on Fox News Channel, you're lucky if maybe

463
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: maybe a million to two million people are watching, all right,

464
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 3: that's not a lot of people in the great scheme

465
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: of things. So if the Republicans and the Trump administration,

466
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 3: the Trump White House is just as guilty on this.

467
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: They've been using Fox News Channel exclusively to get their

468
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 3: message out and it's not working because people are not watching.

469
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: So they've got to They really have to reconfigure this.

470
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: And I'll share with you what's happening on our shows.

471
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: We have seen an uptick in the number of lawmakers

472
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: wanting to come on the program. And the reason why

473
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: is because we do have an audience and that audience

474
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: is very much engaged and they know that because they

475
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: hear from their constituents whenever, you know, they pop up

476
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,479
Speaker 3: on the radio show or the TV show. All right,

477
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: let's go to Tim in Winston Salem, North Carolina, WUSJS High, Tim,

478
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?

479
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 11: Well, did a to the fellow North Carolinian who just

480
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 11: was on the air with you. But I have a

481
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 11: different slant here. I wish President Trump wouldn't get involved

482
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 11: in the primaries. And I'll tell you why. The great

483
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 11: example was yesterday, He you know, endorsed Michael Wadley a

484
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 11: good while ago. And when that happens, the opponent Don

485
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 11: Brown the money just you can't get any money. I

486
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 11: had the same I worked helped the guy run for

487
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 11: governor here a couple of years ago. He was our

488
00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 11: state treasurer, Bill Folwell, and little made a great governor.

489
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 11: But then President Trump endorses Mark Robinson I don't have

490
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 11: to remind you what happened in that situation. Mark Robinson

491
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 11: cost us the governors, governor's mansion, lieutenant governor, attorney general,

492
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 11: and state superintendent. He cost us four races. He should

493
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 11: have got out. I mean, he should have got out

494
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 11: when the when the last thing came out. He should

495
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 11: have never been the nominee. But as soon as President

496
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 11: Trump not, you know, endorses someone, the money drives up

497
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 11: for everyone else. And that's I support President Trump one

498
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 11: thousand percent, except in that situation, I wish he would

499
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 11: stay out of the primaries.

500
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: Well that this is this is going to be really

501
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 3: fascinating to watch what's about to happen in Texas because

502
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: President Trump did not endorse anyone in the in the primary.

503
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 3: Now there are calls for the president to step in

504
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: and choose either Ken Patson or John Cornyan and p

505
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: Peaul are pretty insistent that President Trump put his thumb

506
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 3: on the scales in Texas. But to your point, I think,

507
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 3: even if President Trump, why would the president have endorsed

508
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: Don Brown, who I've known for years and I think

509
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: you make a terrific senator, but our governor rather, but

510
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: why pardon me Senator. But why would what would that

511
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: have done for Don Brown?

512
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 11: Well, I tell you people would have came out to

513
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 11: vote for him. But once you know, like I said,

514
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 11: we have evidence of two years ago that disaster. You know,

515
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 11: people just say, well, I know who's going to win

516
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 11: a Lotley has a problem with the grassroots workers for

517
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 11: the party in this state by what he did a

518
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 11: couple of years ago at the convention when he was being.

519
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 6: What did he do reelected?

520
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: What did he do real quick here?

521
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 11: Well, he instead of doing paperback for the re election

522
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 11: for the election for chair, he came up with this

523
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 11: app and it was a disaster. You know, people were voting.

524
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 11: The rules clearly states you have to be on the

525
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 11: property to vote.

526
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 3: Well okay, well we're.

527
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 11: Voting other place that they were in Wisconsin and voting

528
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 11: for the chair.

529
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 3: Well look, here's the challenge him. Look, here's the challenge

530
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: that you guys have. Even if every single Republican that

531
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: voted yesterday gets out and votes in the midterms, Watley's

532
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 3: going to lose. So my question is where does Watley

533
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: go to get all of those votes that did not

534
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 3: bother to show up yesterday for the primary.

535
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 11: Well, I'll crawl through broken glass to vote for Walley.

536
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 11: But I would have rather crawled through it to vote

537
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 11: for Don Brown. He would have made a He was

538
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 11: a great candidate, would have made a great senator, and he,

539
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 11: you know, Cooper would have had to debate him. We'll

540
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,479
Speaker 11: see if he debates Waltley or not, because the press

541
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 11: will determine whether he does or not. That's what happens

542
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 11: here in our state. Josh Stein didn't even debate Robinson

543
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 11: in the press put no pressure on.

544
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 9: Him at all.

545
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: All right, well, Tim, I appreciate your great analysis there.

546
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: And again, you folks in Texas, do you want President

547
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: Trump to step in and put his thumb on the

548
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 3: scales here? And if so, who do you support? Do

549
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: you support John Cornyn, who, by the way, came under

550
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: fire at one of the main reasons people don't like Corny.

551
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: First of all, he's part of the whole Bush legacy.

552
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: But beyond that, his bipartisan support of this gun grab

553
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 3: legislation really angered a lot of Second Amendment folks there

554
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 3: in Texas. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

555
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: two six our telephone number, real quick, let's go to

556
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: out to eastern North Carolina. Ron Is listening to us

557
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 3: Ronald on de Talk station. Ronald, what's going on? What's

558
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: on your mind?

559
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 12: Yes, sir, he was asking you why we think Republicans

560
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 12: didn't turn out. I think what the biggest reason is

561
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 12: the lack of action by our relected Republicans primary Congress,

562
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 12: US and what not. And I have to disagree with

563
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 12: you a little bit about them need to improve their communications.

564
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 12: They wouldn't really need communication if they'd actually do something,

565
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 12: because you can judge people actions by what they do

566
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 12: or don't do. And right now we've got a bunch

567
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 12: of people that just sit around and do nothing, and

568
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 12: they promise you everything and absolutely do nothing about it.

569
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: Robald, by communication, I hear what you're saying, but I

570
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 3: think at this stage of the game, the Speaker Johnson

571
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 3: should be providing every single person running with a list

572
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 3: of here is what we have done for the American people. Now,

573
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: what you're telling me is they haven't done enough or

574
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: they haven't done anything. And if that's the case, well

575
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 3: that is a big problem and the Republicans are going

576
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: to lose because I think the Republican base of the

577
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: party is done. They're done with this idea of oh,

578
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 3: we need another two more years to get things done.

579
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 12: Yes, because they always promise if you put them in office,

580
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 12: or they'll do this, this and this, and they don't

581
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 12: do it. One old example is you know when they

582
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 12: were saying they was going to repeal the book or

583
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 12: ball my health care plan, and they voted against all time,

584
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 12: but as soon as they had the Senate and the

585
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 12: House and the President, they.

586
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 9: No longer voted for it.

587
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 3: Well, fair enough, fair enough, all right, Ronald, thank you

588
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 3: for calling in nine oh one two six zero five

589
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: nine two six. We're going to have to take a

590
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: break again our telephone number nine oh one two six

591
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. By the way, ladies and gentlemen,

592
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: as we go to break, want to encourage you to

593
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 3: get a pre ordered copy of my brand new book.

594
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: This is going to be a big, big book for us,

595
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 3: much like it's really a lot like God Bless America

596
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: that I wrote back in twenty twenty fifteen. It's called

597
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, And I think

598
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: it's important for all of us to read this book

599
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: understand how Trump did it and what we have to

600
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: do to keep the victories going. And that's why I

601
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: want you to pre order a copy right now, Amazon,

602
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 3: Barnes and Noble, wherever you buy your books. It's called

603
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America. It's got a

604
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 3: lot of great stories and quite frankly, a lot of

605
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: humor in this book as well, but a very sobering

606
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: message that if we don't do our part, then we

607
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 3: will lose the Republican Look, this is it for us.

608
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: So again, get a copy. You can order in the

609
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 3: break on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, The Golden Age, How

610
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 3: Trump Saved America. All right, welcome back, and we have

611
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 3: got so much ground to cover. The White House now

612
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: saying that the Uranians are interested in talking, I say

613
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 3: forget that those days are gone. One the time now,

614
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, is for the Iranians to surrender. And

615
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 3: it's nothing more that if we should accept nothing less

616
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 3: than a full and complete surrender of the Iranians, otherwise

617
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: we bomb them back to the Stone Age. All right,

618
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

619
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

620
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 3: Let's go to John in North Carolina. Hi, John, what's

621
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 3: on your mind?

622
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: God?

623
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 9: How you doing?

624
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 3: I'm well?

625
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 9: Thank you good.

626
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 13: North Carolina's pretty easy, Todd. Even going back to Richard Burdate,

627
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 13: we were looking for tax breaks, we were looking for

628
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 13: a balanced budget. We were told when Conservatives had the majority,

629
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 13: those things would happen. They passed a big, beautiful bill

630
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 13: which spent money. But there's been no budget cut to

631
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 13: speak of, other than what we've done through tariffs. So

632
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 13: North Carolinians are looking at the guys that we were

633
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 13: told we're conservative, and there has been real no action.

634
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 13: In fact, if anything, we've had blockade from Killis and

635
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 13: we've got no action. We've got three major metropolitan areas

636
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 13: in North Carolina, Mecklenburg County Charlotte, Guildford County Greensboro, and

637
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 13: Wake County Raleigh, and all three of those centers vote

638
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 13: Democrat and they get to vote out. So that's why

639
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 13: Roy Cooper, whoever we run against him, he's going to

640
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 13: win because we got liberal areas that are overwhelmingly Democrat.

641
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 13: But people are not showing up because we've continued to

642
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 13: put people that we are told are conservative in office.

643
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 13: We've got no balanced budget, we've got no tax cuts,

644
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 13: and we've got no spending cuts.

645
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: Well, John, you just laid it out there. I mean,

646
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 3: if the Republicans are not going to deliver on those

647
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 3: specific promises, people aren't going to vote for him. I mean,

648
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 3: you're right. I mean it's sounds simple John to run.

649
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: Hang tide, everybody, We've got to take a quick break.

650
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: We're right back at it here on the Todd Sterns

651
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 3: Radio Show, Live.

652
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: From the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's common

653
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.

654
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: Amaritan all right, Hello, everybody, welcome to our two of

655

Speaker 3: the Big Show. Thank you for listening to the Todd

656
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: Stars Radio Program. I am Todd Starns, your voice of

657
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: truth and hope and common sense across this great nation.

658
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: So a lot going on this hour of the program.

659
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 3: We at this hour a governor min sort of governor

660
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 3: Tim Waltz, timpon Tim, as we affectionately refer to him

661
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 3: as testifying up up on Capitol Hill, and it's not

662
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 3: going well. We're gonna play some of that audio. H

663
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: Nancy Mays and Congressman Scott Perry absolutely torching this guy.

664
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: Also some exciting news from the Pentagon about what's happening

665
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 3: right now in Iran, and we're going to get to

666
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: your calls on what happened yesterday in the election, because

667
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: we have a lot to talk about and we've got

668
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 3: a lot to figure out, and it seems as though

669
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 3: the running the running commentary here is that the House

670
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 3: in the Senate have just simply not done anything, and

671
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons why people are not getting

672
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 3: out and they're not voting. And by people, I mean

673
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 3: you Republicans. I want you to write down our telephon number.

674
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 3: You're gonna need this. Let's just call in nine oh

675
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 3: one two six zero five, nine two six. That's nine

676
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five to nine two pete hegseeth.

677
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: Our Secretary of War says, We're not messing around anymore,

678
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 3: and this is a new day for the military. I

679
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 3: am just so excited. I want to play this and

680
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,240
Speaker 3: then I've got some things to say. Hi, Number five plays.

681
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 14: We're playing for keeps. Our war fighters have maximum authorities

682
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 14: granted personally by the President and yours.

683
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: Truly.

684
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 14: Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to

685
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 14: unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant

686
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 14: to be a fair fight, and it is not a

687
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 14: fair fight. We are punching them while they're down, which

688
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 14: is exactly how it should be.

689
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:46,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, wow, folks, I haven't heard a war secretary say

690
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 3: anything like this since World War Two. This is remarkable.

691
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 3: If you remember, and many of you have fought in

692
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: a desert storm, many of you fought. Any of you

693
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: who have fought in the Wars nine to eleven, you

694
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: know that the Democrats had a whole different idea of

695
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 3: what the military was supposed to be used for, so

696
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: much so that let's just say that you had you

697
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 3: were out in the middle of the desert, all of

698
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: a sudden, the enemy starts opening fire. You actually had

699
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 3: to call back to Washington, d c. To get permission

700
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: to engage the enemy in a theater of war. It

701
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: was the most absurd thing. And there have been a

702
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 3: couple of great movies made about this and the absurdity

703
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 3: of the that you literally had to call back to

704
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 3: Washington to get permission to engage the enemy that was

705
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 3: shooting at you. Now, that is as that philosophy is

706
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 3: about as useful as a busted cannabiscuits. I'm telling you,

707
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 3: this is absolute insanity. But those days are over now,

708
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: and and this is why. Look this is why the

709
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: United States came out of World War Two as a

710
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 3: world power, the leading world power, because we were ruthless.

711
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 3: And when we drop that bomb on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki,

712
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: not only did we save countless, countless lives by ending

713
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 3: the war, we also sent a message to the rest

714
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 3: of the world that we are a peaceful people, we

715
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: are a freedom loving people, we are a god fearing people.

716
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 3: But you don't mess with the American people. You don't

717
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 3: mess with the United States of America. That was the message,

718
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 3: and so Pete Hanksath is delivering that message again. Ladies

719
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 3: and gentlemen. I don't know if you've been watching any

720
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: of the videos. We have a lot of them over

721
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 3: on Todd Stearns dot com. I am so impressed with

722
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: the incredible work that's being done. And by the way,

723
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: not a single thing has leaked out of the Pentagon.

724
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: Not a single thing has leaked out of the Pentagon.

725
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: It's remarkable. Got number six place.

726
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 14: In a few days. In under a week, the two

727
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 14: most powerful air forces in the world will have complete

728
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 14: control of Iranian skies uncontested airspace. I hope all the

729
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 14: folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means.

730
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 14: It means we will fly all day, all night, day

731
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 14: and night, finding, fixing and finishing the missiles and defense

732
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 14: industrial base of the Iranian military, finding and fixing their

733
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 14: leaders and their military leaders, Flying over Tehran, flying over Iran,

734
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 14: flying over their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders

735
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 14: looking up and seeing only US and Israeli air power

736
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 14: every minute of every day until we decide it's over

737
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 14: in Iran would be able to do nothing about it.

738
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 4: B two S B fifty two s.

739
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 14: B ones, predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets,

740
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 14: death and destruction from the sky all day long.

741
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 3: Wow, that's.

742
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 8: This.

743
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 3: This is what it means, ladies and gentlemen. This is

744
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: what it means to have a military that has a

745
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 3: warrior ethos. That's what it's all about. Oh, by the way,

746
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 3: and this little development, there were at least two assassination

747
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: plots against President Trump that were concocted by the Iranians. Well,

748
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 3: apparently the guy behind all of that, yet he got

749
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 3: blown to the lake of fire. Take a listen to

750
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 3: cut eight.

751
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 14: The leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President

752
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 14: Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran tried to

753
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 14: kill President Trump, and President Trump got the last laugh. Now,

754
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:07,720
Speaker 14: this is not a mission accomplished situation. This is simply

755
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 14: a reality check. The combination of US and Israeli intelligence

756
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 14: and combat power will control Iran, and we'll control it soon.

757
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 3: All right, just a little bit of the back and

758
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 3: forth there from this morning's briefing at the Pentagon. So

759
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 3: well done, Pete Hegseth. And the bombing raids are continuing,

760
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 3: and they're becoming even more ferocious now there are We've

761
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 3: had some callers today who said, look, this is not

762
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 3: America first. I would contend that this is entirely America

763
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 3: first in the sense that Donald Trump is cleaning up

764
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 3: a mess that was left behind since nineteen seventy nine.

765
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 3: And as a results, just think about this. If Jimmy

766
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 3: Carter would have gone in and bombed Iran and deposed

767
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 3: the Iatolas at the start of the revolution when they

768
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: attacked our embassy, then the argument could be made that

769
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 3: thousands of Americans would still be alive today. The marine

770
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: barracks in Beirut would never have been bombed had presidents

771
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: just made those hard decisions. Donald Trump, it was a

772
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 3: hard decision. I have no doubt about that. Every time

773
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: you interview a president, they say the hardest thing they

774
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 3: ever had to do was to make the decision to

775
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 3: put men and women in harm's way talking about our military,

776
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 3: and I have no doubt that Donald Trump was in

777
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 3: that position. But he made the right call.

778
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 15: Here.

779
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 3: Now there's a caveat. There was some chattery yesterday and

780
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 3: some of the lawmakers coming out of this private meeting.

781
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 3: There's a closed door meeting up on Capitol Hill. They

782
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 3: were given an update, a briefing on the war, and

783
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 3: some of the lawmakers came away from that concerned that

784
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 3: they were hearing language that might indicate we could be

785
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 3: moving towards boots on the ground in Iran, Ladies and gentlemen.

786
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 3: Horrible idea. And we cannot have mission creep here. And

787
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 3: so far I'm not seeing it. I mean, everything I'm

788
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 3: watching unfold before us is Donald J. Trump dismantling the

789
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 3: nuclear program and the missiles they're in. They're in Iran.

790
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 3: All right. Nine oh one two six zero five, nine

791
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 3: two six is our telephone number. That's nine oh one

792
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: two six zero five to nine two six. Let's go

793
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 3: to Kansas. Mark is on the line, Hi, Mark, what

794
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 3: say you?

795
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 16: Well? First off, a great show, and thank you for

796
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 16: what you do.

797
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: Thank you.

798
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 16: And and you'd mentioned something about the speaker sending out

799
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 16: a list of talking points of what the Republics Republicans

800
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 16: have done, and I think what that list should include

801
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 16: what the Democrats have been doing and how much uh

802
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 16: uh Democrats or Republicans have to clean up after they're

803
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 16: they're in office for extended periods of time.

804
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 3: I don't think that's that's a bad idea at all.

805
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 3: I I like that idea, Mark.

806
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 16: I think I think it can make a curated list

807
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 16: that h very clear and reminds everybody just what's take

808
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:28,719
Speaker 16: and what what they're voting for. Uh when when?

809
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 2: When?

810
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 16: When it's election time.

811
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 3: Mark, I'm curious about about yourself. How would you grade?

812
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 3: How would you grade the Republicans so far? I mean

813
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 3: that's ultimately who's going to be on the ballot this

814
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 3: this November. How do you grade the Republicans?

815
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 16: Well, I'd do a C plus or a B minus.

816
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 16: There are exceptions, you know there there's Trump and hagsast

817
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 16: and and you know some others, but majority of them

818
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 16: are are you know, they they're not They're not very

819
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 16: forthcoming with everything that's going on in Washington and the

820
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 16: state houses and that type of thing.

821
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just again a C plus and it's just

822
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 3: not good enough in my book. They've got to be

823
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: doing better. There's no reason why they can't be doing better. Mark,

824
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 3: that that's what gets me. By the way, Mark, what

825
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 3: part of Kansas are you calling from? Well, I tell

Speaker 2: for my neighbors who just got here. They just got here.

837
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 2: It's not the neighborly way to send them back, rounding

838
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 2: them up in ISA texts, Would you be kind? Won't

839
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 2: you be kind? I've always wanted to have a neighbor

840
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 2: like Raji or Rau who put twenty four thousand new

841
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 2: kids in our low go to school. So let's make

842
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 2: the most of this beautiful day before Somali daycres all

843
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 2: go away? Would you be kind pretend that you're blind.

844
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:46,280
Speaker 2: Everyone's your neighbor, won't you please? Won't you please?

845
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 8: Please?

846
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 2: Won't you hide your neighbor? Hello, neighbor, I've been thinking

847
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: about wintertime in many Apolis, a time of snow and

848
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 2: sweaters and frozen water bottles. Have you ever been cold,

849
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 2: so cold that you thought you could turn someone else

850
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 2: into ice? That wouldn't be neighborly of a fellow Minnesotan,

851
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 2: and Governor Waltz and our mayor won't be able to

852
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 2: protect you from the consequences. What are consequences? Consequences are

853
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 2: what happens, what happens to people who snitch on those

854
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: who are different, who are different like some alli's who

855
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:44,480
Speaker 2: make their living off the government for enrichment, for enrichment.

856
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: So don't mention the criminality of those who are here

857
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:55,880
Speaker 2: illegally and you won't have to face the consequences. Nobody

858
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: likes bad things to happen to mommy and daddy or

859
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 2: little sister. Sure, because nobody likes a snitch. Next time

860
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 2: we'll go to the land of make believe to see

861
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: how mister mcphailey is transitioning into missus mcphaiy. Bye bye.

862
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 3: All right, I've been I've been on the weight loss campaign.

863
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: Is this two and a half weeks, three weeks now,

864
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 3: down thirteen pounds and today it's going to be a

865
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 3: crazy afternoon. I've got to put in the this is

866
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 3: my first five mile, the big five mile walk, and

867
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 3: then I'll be hitting the gym. But one of the

868
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: things that I've done is I've joined up with PhD

869
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 3: Weight Loss and I'm literally enjoying a delicious cup of

870
00:53:56,400 --> 00:54:00,200
Speaker 3: their homemade cream of chicken soup. All of this this

871
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 3: is it's amazing stuff. All the great food and stuff

872
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 3: they provide.

873
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 5: Uh.

874
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 3: This is not like weight Watchers. It's you know, not

875
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 3: like interminute fasting. And that's one of the reasons I

876
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 3: love what I'm seeing so far with PhD Weight Loss.

877
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 3: I've had a great time with them, and it's it's working.

878
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 3: I take the Caltron and that helps with the weight loss,

879
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 3: and then PhD comes in with their their foods and

880
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: their resources and it really is making the difference. The

881

884
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: And they give me some pointers and it's been really,

885
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 3: really clever, and I want you to check them out.

Speaker 3: some of you out there on the trail later this afternoon.

922
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 3: So let's go to Vicky in North Carolina. Hi, Vicky,

923
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:34,000
Speaker 3: what's on your mind?

924
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 17: Yeah? His tod nice to talk to you. I'm listening

925
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 17: to all the stuff about North Carolina, and the only

926
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 17: thing that occurs to me is if you don't like

927
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 17: what the Republicans are doing now, you're really gonna hate

928
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 17: what the Democrats will do if they take over. So

929
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 17: you know, if you're not crazy that who's in there,

930
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 17: fine to keep them, keep the Democrats out. That's the

931
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 17: most important thing to me, because they are going to

932
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 17: destroy everything.

933
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 3: Vicky, I you know what, we ought to put everything

934
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 3: you just said on a bumper sticker. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

935
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 3: you're absolutely so. It's it's common sense. And and folks,

936
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: is not just North Carolina. I'm really concerned about Texas

937
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 3: right now. We've had so many liberals move into the state,

938
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 3: so many liberals. All right, got to take a break here.

939
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

940
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 3: hour number. That's nine oh one two six zero five

941
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 3: nine two six. Come over to Myphdweight loss Dot com mention.

942
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: My name Stearns. They're going to hook you up. We'll

943
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 3: be right back. We will avenge them, no doubt.

944
00:57:59,360 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 2: But I like it.

945
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 14: Iran's predicament to a football team who scripted the first

946
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 14: twenty plays of a game. The team knew what plays

947
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 14: to run because.

948
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 3: Their first few drives were scripted, But.

949
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 14: Now that the game has started and the blitz is on,

950
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 14: they don't know what plays to call, let alone how

951
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 14: to get in the huddle and call those plays. Iran's

952
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 14: senior leaders are dead, the so called governing council that

953
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 14: might have selected a successor dead, missing or cowering, and

954
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 14: bunkers too terrified to even occupy the same room. General's

955
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 14: mid level officers enlisted ranks. They can't talk or communicate,

956
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 14: let alone mount a coordinated and sustained offensive.

957
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: That's not great for morale.

958
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 14: The Iranian Air Force is no more built for nineteen

959
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 14: ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six. The Iranian Navy

960
00:58:54,840 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 14: rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf combat ineffective, decimated, defeated,

961
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 14: pick your adjective.

962
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: Well, there you go, our war secretary laying it all

963
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 3: out there at a briefing earlier this morning. I want

964
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 3: to go right away to our patrion oble use maaker line.

965
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 3: Say hello to our good friend Liz Peek. You see

966
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 3: her all the time on Fox News and read her

967
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,479
Speaker 3: great work at foxnews dot com. Liz hope you're doing well.

968
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 18: I'm doing great. Nice to talk to you Ton.

969
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: Well, Liz, I just have to tell you it has

970
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 3: been quite impressive what the Pentagon has been doing here.

971
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 3: There have been no leaks, They've been very thorough with

972
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 3: their briefings, and man, are they bringing shock and awe

973
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: to the world.

974
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 19: Yeah.

975
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 18: And I say, you know, listening to that clip that

976
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 18: you just aired, I really think Pete Hegseth is sounding

977
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 18: exactly the right notes. He's right that they are running scared.

978
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 10: They have to be.

979
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 18: I mean, my gosh, every time they're in a public

980
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 18: meeting or place of any sort. And this is not

981
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 18: even just recently, but going back months now, there vulnerable

982
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 18: and they know it. I'd say the only comfort is

983
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 18: what's coming from the Democratic Party of the United States.

984
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 18: I mean, when you have Haakim Jeffries introducing a bill

985
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 18: on the floor to cease all operations in Iran, that

986
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 18: is golden propaganda for the Iranian regime that I am

987
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 18: sure is the subject of countless as going out over

988
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 18: the airwaves saying, look, the United States doesn't even want

989
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 18: to be perpetrating this war, and they're the you know,

990
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:34,440
Speaker 18: half the country is on our side, so you know

991
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 18: they're going to lay down their arms and the United

992
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:40,439
Speaker 18: States doesn't have the will to carry this through. I mean,

993
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 18: my god, I cannot imagine a worse message to send

994
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 18: and totally aiding and comforting our enemy.

995
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 3: Liz's it's really shocking, and we talked about this on Monday.

996
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 3: Show the juxtaposition. Here, you've got the Iranian women who

997
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 3: are I guess they're they're tearing out their heads, smoking cigarettes,

998
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 3: wearing dresses in public, and starting to move about freely. Meanwhile,

999
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: in this country, you literally have woke liberal women that

1000
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 3: are cloaking themselves in the hit job. Kids there celebrating

1001
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, kids here channing death to America. It's really insane.

1002
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 18: It is, and I don't think it's going to I mean,

1003
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 18: I hate to bring everything down to politics. I do

1004
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 18: not think that six months from now, when you're showing

1005
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 18: ads of all these lunatic Democrats running around opposing this war.

1006
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 18: I hope Todd it is successful. I think it will

1007
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 18: be successful when you have united the entire Gulf region,

1008
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 18: the entire Middle East. I mean it Ran made an

1009
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 18: almost unimaginable error by lobbing missiles towards Bahrain, Gottar, Saudi Arabia,

1010
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 18: every place, including Turkey. Today they have nobody left to

1011
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 18: protect them, and without that, I think that Iran becomes

1012
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 18: increasingly isolated. They're already pretty isolated, and there are big

1013
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 18: champions Russia and China. I mean, I haven't heard a

1014
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 18: peep from them. I don't know if you've heard it differently,

1015
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 18: but as far as I know, they are just basically

1016
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 18: watching to see what happens. So it's a pretty extraordinary situation.

1017
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 18: And again, the only real hopeful thing that's happening for

1018
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 18: Iran is coming from our own political divide.

1019
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 3: That isn't that interesting, because you know, you look in

1020
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, the piece nicks out there,

1021
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 3: and I guess again some in the conservative wing of

1022
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 3: the party as well, who want to be isolationists. Their

1023
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 3: argument was always if we if we go to war

1024
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 3: against Iran, it's going to lead to global conflict. It's

1025
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 3: going to be World War three. And you're right, it's

1026
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 3: sort of strange that both Russia and China have been

1027
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 3: so quiet.

1028
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 18: Well, Russia has no bandwidth to take on another another conflict.

1029
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 18: I mean, they're basically deeply embedded in Ukraine. I think

1030
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 18: they're not doing well, and so for them to take

1031
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 18: on any kind of other initiative here would be completely suicidal.

1032
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,560
Speaker 18: And as far as China's concerned, you know, they're not

1033
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 18: doing so great either. They've lost their two major sources

1034
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 18: of oil, Venezuela and Iran, and that is for China

1035
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 18: a real serious issue. I do think there's a possibility

1036
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 18: that China built up over the last several years an

1037
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 18: oil reserve, underground oil reserve. If you remember, think back

1038
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 18: to when the oil price did plummet on a few occasions,

1039
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 18: and a lot of us, including myself, for exhorting the

1040
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 18: Biden administration to stockpile oil refilled the strategic petroleum reserve.

1041
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 18: Who did that? That was China. China was buying at

1042
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 18: that moment, not Joe Biden. And my guess is they

1043
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 18: may be better off than we know. But I just

1044
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 18: don't know that. I mean, we haven't really seen any

1045
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 18: indication of that. But you know, Iran is basically friendless,

1046
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 18: and it is inconceivable to me that with the joint

1047
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 18: intelligence and military capabilities of Israel and the United States,

1048
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 18: and the golf are of nations which remember we have

1049
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 18: been sending arms to for some time now, and which

1050
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 18: have pretty important military capabilities. I can't imagine that Iran's

1051
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 18: days are not numbered.

1052
01:04:32,120 --> 01:04:36,360
Speaker 3: Can you imagine though, what that's going to do there

1053
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 3: in the in the Middle East? And of course the

1054
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 3: question is who's going to take charge? Every time they

1055
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 3: pick somebody they get blown up. But there seems to

1056
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,919
Speaker 3: be a lot of interest in the sun of the

1057
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 3: previously deposed Shaw. Do you think that's the right path here?

1058
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 3: And what role should they not? You know, we're going

1059
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 3: to play a role in it in some capacity, But

1060
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 3: who do you think I ought to lead the country?

1061
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 18: I think that animosity towards the former regime of the

1062
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 18: Shah is pretty intense. I'm not sure Paalabi is the

1063
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 18: guy that's really going to be able to gather enough

1064
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,040
Speaker 18: support to stabilize this country. My guess is it has

1065
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 18: to come from someone kind of like in Venezuela, someone

1066
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 18: from the current regime who perhaps a little bit more

1067
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 18: aware of the fragility of the people in charge and

1068
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 18: willing to deal with the United States. I mean, it

1069
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 18: would be such a blessing to have a neutral Iran,

1070
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 18: not necessarily even a friendly Iran, just not a hostile Iran,

1071
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 18: not someone that is constantly funding Hesblah and Hamas and

1072
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 18: the UTIs and creating havoc all the time. And that's

1073
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 18: why the Gulf nations hate the Iranians, and they're perfectly

1074
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 18: happy to see them squashed. They just never wanted to

1075
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 18: have to engage with them in the past. Because Iran

1076
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 18: has nuclear weapons, are very close to having nuclear weapons,

1077
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:07,080
Speaker 18: and has a monster number of ballistic missiles. The question

1078
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 18: is how many of those now have been a spent

1079
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 18: be destroyed. We have to hope that it's a very

1080
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 18: sizeable part of their inventory. I mean, that's what the

1081
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 18: United States is counting on day after day. That's what

1082
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,479
Speaker 18: we're going after. I think it'll just be a matter

1083
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 18: of I think matter of a couple of weeks. But

1084
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 18: you know, I'm not a military person. I can't really

1085
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 18: assess that. But I cannot imagine they can hold out

1086
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 18: for very long.

1087
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 3: I do wonder, though, if there are people in Iran

1088
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 3: who look at what's happening, the incredible growth and development

1089
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 3: in places like Dubai, and I wonder if there's a

1090
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 3: bit of envy there saying why can't we do that

1091
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 3: here in Iran? Do you think that the you know,

1092
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 3: we could we could see some movement by the the

1093
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 3: movers and shakers on the money side of things there

1094
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 3: in that country.

1095
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 18: Yeah, the business community. Well, it's interesting, isn't it. What

1096
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 18: there has been some chatter about, for example, in Cuba

1097
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 18: that the grandson of Fidel Castro is part of a

1098
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 18: young business minded group that kind of wants to be

1099
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 18: able to fly and succeed.

1100
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 8: And do well.

1101
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 18: And you know, they may be the group that eventually

1102
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 18: takes over the country if there were such You know,

1103
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,000
Speaker 18: Iran is not a Barbara country. I mean, this is

1104
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 18: a country, highly educated, very sophisticated industries, et cetera, et cetera.

1105
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 18: There has got to be exactly what you're talking about.

1106
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 18: Get away from the religious theocracy, and surely there must

1107
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 18: be people we could partner with to rebuild the economy,

1108
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 18: to create a country that again doesn't have to be

1109
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 18: friendly to the United States and Israel, but perhaps neutral.

1110
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 18: And that is really that would be such an incredible

1111
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 18: blessing for all of the people in that region.

1112
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 3: You know, you think back to you know, prior to

1113
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 3: the revolution, I was just a little kid, and I

1114
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 3: think I was sixth or seventh grade when all of

1115
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 3: that went down with the revolution and the hostages. But

1116
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:11,040
Speaker 3: back before all of that, Tehran was really known as

1117
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 3: the Paris of the East. They were known for incredible

1118
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 3: nightlife and Western fashion. People really wanted to go there

1119
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 3: and to visit the country, much like I would say,

1120
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 3: be route in Lebanon.

1121
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 18: Yeah, I was going to say Lebanon similar. I think

1122
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 18: that's right. And you know, people who have been to

1123
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 18: Iran in the last five years will tell you that

1124
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 18: the people of Iran are extremely friendly to Americans. I mean,

1125
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 18: they're not idiot. Most of them, I think, are not

1126
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 18: in Nique with the hard writer left, I don't know

1127
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 18: what it was, would be in Rando, the hard religious

1128
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 18: fanatics who chant death to America, death to Israel constantly.

1129
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 18: I think that there is a very large body. I

1130
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 18: think we have no We know through various kinds of

1131
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 18: surveys at about seventy five percent of the country not

1132
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 18: like the Molas. They do not like the theocracy, and

1133
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 18: so yeah, I think that this is a country that

1134
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 18: could be turned around. And you know, are we going

1135
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 18: to do nation building? Are we going to go in

1136
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 18: there and help them with that? I hope not, because

1137
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 18: that I think is a legitimate complaint about past endeavors

1138
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 18: that the United States got too deeply and buried, too

1139
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 18: deeply buried in trying to create democracies for countries not

1140
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 18: ready for democracies. But I think there is certainly development

1141
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,800
Speaker 18: ties that could really move some sort of relationship forward,

1142
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 18: and that I think is what Trump is hoping for

1143
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 18: as well.

1144
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: Liz, there was a great movie, and it's one of

1145
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 3: those movies I just love watching over and over again,

1146
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 3: Charlie Wilson's War. I don't know if you've had a

1147
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 3: chance to see it. Sure, sure, there is such a

1148
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 3: central truth and that entire story. And of course Charlie

1149
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 3: Wilson a conservative Democrat from Texas of all places, and

1150
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,560
Speaker 3: really led the charge to make sure that the Afghans

1151
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 3: were given the tools necessary to fight the Soviets. But

1152
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 3: the problem was that there was no education afterwards, so

1153
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 3: nobody knew, you know, what the Americans had done for

1154
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 3: those people. And you know, I think, regardless of what

1155
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 3: happens in Iran, that we've got to learn from those

1156
01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:18,360
Speaker 3: mistakes of the past.

1157
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 18: I agree with you, but it's a very different situation.

1158
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 18: Afghanistan really was a medieval country and be set by

1159
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 18: the kinds of rivalries and territorial disputes and warlords, et cetera.

1160
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 18: That it was impossible. It was impossible, And America did

1161
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 18: a lot of good things in Afghanistan. Probably none of

1162
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 18: it has lasted very long. It rans a really different

1163
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 18: case because it's sophisticated country.

1164
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 3: It's a great movie, everybody, you got to go watch it.

1165
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 3: Julia Roberts cracks me up. But it's hard to believe

1166
01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 3: that was all that all actually happened. It's a real story.

1167
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 18: It's a great story, great book, great book.

1168
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,560
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that, so I didn't realize there was

1169
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 3: a book. I'm going to have to go back and

1170
01:10:59,040 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 3: read that.

1171
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 18: Yeah, wonderful.

1172
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 3: All right, the great Liz Peak everybody. Liz always great

1173
01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 3: to hear your analysis.

1174
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 18: Thank you, thanks so much for having me on time.

1175
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,760
Speaker 3: Right there lizpeak dot com. Everybody go and check out

1176
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 3: her great writing, love her take on things. Uh hey,

1177
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 3: real quick, let's go to the phones. Johnny listening to

1178
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 3: us on Patriot Talk nine to twenty in Texas, and Johnny,

1179
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 3: I understand that you disagree with Liz.

1180
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 8: Well.

1181
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 6: I disagree with her saying that someone from the current

1182
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 6: regime should be the future leader. And I say that

1183
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 6: because that would put the people back in the same

1184
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 6: situation as they're trying to get out of. My take

1185
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 6: on the situation is that the Curve should be given

1186
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 6: their share, what cut par the nation they thrive in

1187
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 6: should be just released and that become their own nation,

1188
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 6: and the Persian should be given Persia back. Otherwise you're

1189
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 6: going to be right back in the same boat.

1190
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 3: So you believe, so you believe that that current Iran

1191
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 3: should be carved up into into separate countries.

1192
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:27,559
Speaker 6: We got. We cannot let another islamis republic person take

1193
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 6: Ouran back, or we'll be right back in the situation

1194
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 6: and those poor people will be right back in their

1195
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 6: same old situation.

1196
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 3: Well, I know that. I know President Trump has been

1197
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 3: sort of he's been hesitant to weigh in on the

1198
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 3: son of the Shaw who was overthrown uh Pa Lavi.

1199
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 3: And but but a lot of the Iranians I speak

1200
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 3: to here in America, they've been telling me that they

1201
01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,600
Speaker 3: love the Shaw and they think that he ought to

1202
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 3: he ought to be put back into power, you know.

1203
01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 3: One of the big challenges there. And and Johnny, this

1204
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 3: is just something we have to come to terms with.

1205
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,599
Speaker 3: Iran is never going to be the United States of America, right,

1206
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 3: So they've got their own way of doing things. And

1207
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 3: one of the big problems that one of the big

1208
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 3: problems the Iranian people had at the time with the

1209
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:17,559
Speaker 3: Shaw was that he was trying to rapidly westernize the

1210
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 3: nation and so it just did not work. So I

1211
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 3: think from that context, I understand what Liz is saying

1212
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 3: that you may have to have somebody from the regime,

1213
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 3: perhaps a more moderate voice, if there is one, and

1214
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 3: there may not be one. So at that point, what

1215
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 3: do you do? What do you do? Then? So, Johnny

1216
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:38,719
Speaker 3: I got to run. We are super late for a break.

1217
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 3: This is the Tod Stern Show. All right, real quick,

1218
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 3: let's go to the phone lines. Salem, Oregon. Ron listening

1219
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:53,800
Speaker 3: to us on KYK and Hi, Ron, what's on your mind?

1220
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 5: What's on my mind? I got facts for you. Twenty

1221
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,519
Speaker 5: twenty four elections, when they ran on a mega agenda.

1222
01:14:00,760 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 5: You have Waybreak America rally. You have Republican parties portraying

1223
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 5: the message that affects Americans. The reason why I'm a

1224
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 5: problem in Texas, Oregon, what they've been North Carolina is

1225
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 5: that anybody wants to diss themselves. The Trump's message number two,

1226
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 5: they do not go through articulate the messages because they

1227
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 5: want everything convenient. They don't knock on doors, they don't

1228
01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 5: send it through at the markets and stuff, you know

1229
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 5: for Saturday markets whatever, and reach out to the people.

1230
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 5: That's what they did in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three,

1231
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 5: so President Trump could get elected. But the point is

1232
01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 5: the Republican parties at the national level and at the

1233
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 5: state level want to run away from it. And like

1234
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 5: the president who's bringing back possibly logging in Oregon, which

1235
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 5: when the lord costes cross the country by cutting our

1236
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 5: armed trees, replanting our trees, or even possibly there's some

1237
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 5: landstacking for like they did in eighteen hundreds nineteen hundreds,

1238
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 5: that would be well, all economically seasonable. It would knock

1239
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 5: down to defeatism. But yet until the Republican Party at

1240
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,799
Speaker 5: the national level and in those state levels do those things,

1241
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 5: we will not have a country. And they just said,

1242
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 5: we gotta reach out to everybody with any twenty decisions.

1243
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 5: That's how you win.

1244
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 3: And in America, and let me say this, Ron and

1245
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 3: I gotta we're gonna have to leave it there. But

1246
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 3: thank you for that call on that eighty twenty issue.

1247
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,559
Speaker 3: John Thune sees he sees the same polling data that

1248
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 3: we see, and he knows that the majority of the

1249
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:33,680
Speaker 3: American people, Republican and Democrat, black and white, they want

1250
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:38,720
Speaker 3: voter ID at the ballot box. And John Thune, who

1251
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 3: is controlled by high dollar lobbyists, simply will not budge.

1252
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 3: So I agree with many of you who called in.

1253
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 3: It is not only just a messaging problem, it is

1254
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 3: a do nothing problem. And the Republicans are gonna have

1255
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 3: to figure this out. We're gonna have to do our

1256
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 3: part getting out there and voting. But clearly there are

1257
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,679
Speaker 3: efforts underway. Word has gone out that the grass roots

1258
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 3: of the party have been told to sit down and

1259
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,960
Speaker 3: shut up. That is not a winning message. We've got

1260
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 3: to fix that, everybody, All right, Hay and Tight Hour

1261
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 3: three of the Big Show coming up next.

1262
01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1263
01:16:35,360 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1264
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 2: That's American.

1265
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 1: Tod start.

1266
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 6: All right.

1267
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 3: President Trump weighing in on what happened last night in Texas. Hello, everybody,

1268
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Tom Sterns Radio Show. So yes, all right,

1269
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,960
Speaker 3: here's here's a question for all of you Texas peoples.

1270
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 3: And we have a lot of listeners across the lone

1271
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 3: Star state. So here's here and here we go. So,

1272
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:17,240
Speaker 3: John Cornyn, if John Cornyan is the nominee, if he

1273
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 3: wins the runoff, and he is in the general election

1274
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 3: against James tan Credo, will he will he win? Will

1275
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 3: he win that Senate race? At least the establishment wing

1276
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:36,639
Speaker 3: and the politicos are saying that Cornyn is the only

1277
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 3: one who has a shot of beating the Democrats in

1278
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 3: the Senate race. Is that true? I said, tan Credo,

1279
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 3: tall Rico, my apologies, it's been a long day. Or

1280
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 3: is it going to be Ken Paxton? Because there are

1281
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 3: a lot of people in the politico world who say

1282
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 3: that Ken Paxton would lose a race against James Tallerico.

1283
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 3: So the easier bet to make is that John Cornyn

1284
01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 3: is the guy. Well, President Trump just a little while

1285
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,920
Speaker 3: ago posted this on a true social and I want

1286
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 3: to read this to you. He says, the Republican primary

1287
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 3: race for the United States Senate in the great state

1288
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 3: of Texas, the state I love and won three times

1289
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 3: in record numbers, the highest vote ever recorded by far.

1290
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:29,240
Speaker 3: Come on, mister President, don't get two sidetracked here. Cannot,

1291
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 3: for the good of the party and our country itself,

1292
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:36,040
Speaker 3: be allowed to go on any longer. It must stop now.

1293
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 3: So the President is calling for somebody to drop out here.

1294
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 3: He doesn't believe because what the the ron off elections

1295
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 3: in May. So you're looking at every single dollar these

1296
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 3: two Republicans, Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are going to

1297
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 3: be spending against each other is one less dollar they're

1298
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 3: going to have to go up against the Democrat war machine. Democrats,

1299
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 3: they smell blood in the water here in Texas. They

1300
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 3: believe they've got a kinder, gentler Democrat candidate, even though

1301
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 3: he believes God is non binary and Mary should have

1302
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 3: aborded Jesus. They say he's a great guy, James Tulla Rica.

1303
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 3: So they're going to be They're gonna be on the

1304
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 3: warpath here. And President Trump is clearly concerned, concerned enough

1305
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 3: that he's now demanding that one of the two drop out.

1306
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 3: He says, we have an easy to beat radical left opponent,

1307
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 3: and we have to totally focus on putting him away

1308
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 3: quickly and decisively. The President goes on to say both

1309
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 3: John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough.

1310
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 3: Now this well, let me stop here, and mister President,

1311
01:19:40,600 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 3: they did run great campaigns. The problem was Wesley Hunt,

1312
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 3: and Wesley Hunt was the spoiler in this and Wesley

1313
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 3: Hunt not been in the race. I'm telling you those

1314
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 3: votes that he got were Ken Paxton votes. They were

1315
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 3: not John Cornan votes. Anyway, I digress. The President said,

1316
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,760
Speaker 3: John and Ken ran great races, but not good enough.

1317
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 3: Now this one must be perfect. My endorsements within the

1318
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 3: Republican Party have been virtually insurmountable. It is such an

1319
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 3: honor to realize and say that almost everyone I endorse wins.

1320
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 3: This is true, and wins by a lot. This is true,

1321
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 3: especially in Texas. Again true. I will be making my

1322
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 3: endorsement soon and will be asking the candidate that I

1323
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 3: don't endorse to immediately drop out of the race. Is

1324
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 3: that fair? We must win in November. Thank you for

1325
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 3: your attention to this matter. So, ladies and gentlemen of

1326
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 3: the Lone Starnter State, what say you're the President has spoken.

1327
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:47,960
Speaker 3: He is going to nominate some He's going to endorse somebody,

1328
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 3: and the person he does not endorse must drop out

1329
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 3: of the race. A lot of folks are saying it

1330
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 3: has to be Ken Paxton because John Cornyn has fought

1331
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 3: this president tooth and nail. But again, this president is

1332
01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 3: also going to be looking at, okay, winnability here. John

1333
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 3: Cornyn has proven himself as a winner, but so has

1334
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton. So my question, ladies and gentlemen, is who

1335
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 3: do you sign with? This is going to be really interesting.

1336
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:26,240
Speaker 3: And if you're a Ken Paxton, let me ask you this.

1337
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 3: If you're a Ken Paxton supporter, and John Cornyn, by

1338
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,320
Speaker 3: the way, came out yesterday and they're going to be

1339
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 3: hauling out every single dirt, every piece of dirt they

1340
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 3: can get on this guy. They're going to be hauling out.

1341
01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 3: It is going to be scorched earth. When it comes

1342
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 3: to John Cornyon, he is enraged over this and what

1343
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 3: he's embarrassed by what happened yesterday, and he said he

1344
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 3: all but said he's going to destroy Ken Paxton. So

1345
01:21:54,040 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm just curious how does all of this play out?

1346
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,600
Speaker 3: And the President is right here, we can't afford and

1347
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 3: you heard from enough North Carolina listeners today that we're

1348
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 3: losing a Republican Senate seat to North Carolina's that's going

1349
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 3: to happen. The question now is what about in Texas.

1350
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

1351
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 3: are telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

1352
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 3: five nine two six Jasmine Crockett. By the way, yesterday

1353
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 3: first she accused her fellow Democrats of cheating in her primary.

1354
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,520
Speaker 3: Then when that didn't work, you know somebody, somebody, Well,

1355
01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 3: let's play this audio that I'll explain what happened afterwards.

1356
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 20: To cast their vote. We should all be standing together, Democrats, Republicans,

1357
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 20: and we should all be raising hall. But unfortunately this

1358
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 20: was always the plan. And so I am grateful for

1359
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 20: this core order. And as Congressman all Read has already stated,

1360
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 20: we encourage each and every one of you to remain resilient.

1361
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 20: Cannot allow this type of behavior to be rewarded, because

1362
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 20: so long as they know that they can win, even

1363
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 20: if it means cheating, then they will continue to do it.

1364
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 20: So I am asking you, I am begging you to

1365
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 20: make sure that you go ahead and figure out where

1366
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,799
Speaker 20: it is that you are supposed to vote. Stand in line,

1367
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 20: wait in line, and if it means that I got

1368
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 20: to come out there with you to wait with you,

1369
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 20: I will do that.

1370
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 3: All right, so she was accusing she was accusing the

1371
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 3: Democrats or own party of cheating. Well, somebody called her

1372
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 3: and said, what are you doing? What are you doing? Woman? Oh,

1373
01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:40,919
Speaker 3: by the way, I am so sorry. We completely forgotten.

1374
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 3: This is a Jasmin Crockett segment, Ladies and gentleman, chucky

1375
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 3: Jasmin Crockett going down and defeat. And so anyway, the

1376
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:00,160
Speaker 3: Democrats are what.

1377
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 2: Are you doing?

1378
01:24:00,880 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 3: You can't be accusing the Democrats of cheating. Blamed the Republicans.

1379
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,080
Speaker 3: So she went out there. And by the way, in

1380
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:11,560
Speaker 3: the primaries, each political party is in charge of their elections,

1381
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,320
Speaker 3: so she's out there blaming the Republicans for what's happening

1382
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 3: in the Democrat party primary, which they have no control over.

1383
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 3: By the way, in Texas, I understand you guys have

1384
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,679
Speaker 3: very very strict laws and rules when it comes to elections.

1385
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 3: They started at a certain time, they ended at a

1386
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 3: certain time. And in Dallas County there was apparently a

1387
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 3: lot of confusion because of the redistricting, and people didn't

1388
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,799
Speaker 3: know where to go to vote, and they were asking

1389
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 3: for more time, and the Supreme Court of the state

1390
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 3: had to step in and say, no rules are rules.

1391
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 3: So that's why she's hollering. But again, she did very,

1392
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,400
Speaker 3: very well in Dallas County and got you gotta love CNN.

1393
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 3: Even CNN came out and said, Jasmin Crockett losing this

1394
01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 3: race had nothing to do with Dallas County. It had

1395
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 3: everything to do with the fact that she just didn't

1396
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 3: run a good campaign. All right, let's go to the

1397
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,759
Speaker 3: phones here and say hello to John and Houston. John,

1398
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 3: what's your take on what happened yesterday?

1399
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 8: Well, I'm thoroughly happy because the total votes for each

1400
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,560
Speaker 8: party were tighter than I thought. I thought the Democrats

1401
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 8: were going to have a bigger turnout, and.

1402
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 16: I don't.

1403
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 8: I think they're You're you're going a little bit overboard

1404
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 8: on the primary because the primary Texans aren't a lot

1405
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 8: of Texans don't even know who's running or don't know

1406
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:45,759
Speaker 8: the candidates. So when it comes down to the real

1407
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 8: race and they do have a candidate and then.

1408
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 3: They show up, well, well, John, but hold on, hold

1409
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 3: on here, and I want to try to explain what happened.

1410
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 3: For one thing, this was historic. This was a record

1411
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 3: turnout four Democrats in a Texas primary. So those were

1412
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 3: big numbers for the Democrats. Now, the reason why I'm

1413
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 3: I'm harping on this is because Republicans did have a

1414
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 3: reason to go and vote yesterday, and that was to

1415
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 3: take out John Cornyn, who is considered to be a

1416
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:22,960
Speaker 3: rhino by a good many conservatives in the state of Texas.

1417
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 3: So my question, so again, when you factor all those

1418
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 3: things in, yet things did not go well for the

1419
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 3: Republicans yesterday.

1420
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 8: Well, I voted for Paxton. And when they said, you know,

1421
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:40,640
Speaker 8: more than two candidates in they're in a primary and

1422
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 8: you got to have fifty percent of the vote, that's

1423
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 8: what's going to happen. I mean, it's just too many

1424
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:49,200
Speaker 8: people in running in it. They had eight candidates I

1425
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 8: think in the running for the Senate.

1426
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 3: They did, but it was really Wesley Hunt. He was

1427
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 3: the guy. Yeah, yeah, he was the guy.

1428
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,640
Speaker 8: And you know, not a lot of Texans know the

1429
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 8: deal with what's going on with Paxton. I mean, the

1430
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 8: establishment is totally against them. They try to mpeach them.

1431
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 8: They're mad because uh passing Beak, Jeb Bush's son when

1432
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:18,599
Speaker 8: they when they ran for the attorney general, and uh,

1433
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 8: I mean the establishment is putting the word out that

1434
01:27:23,640 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 8: passion is bad, bad, bad, and it's the establishment they

1435
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,799
Speaker 8: got the money they get, they can run the negative ads.

1436
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:34,599
Speaker 8: I mean all the ads that John Corner did were

1437
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 8: negative ads. There was nothing about his record.

1438
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 3: Oh and if you think they're bad, now, John, let

1439
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:46,200
Speaker 3: me tell you something Cornying is he's They're going scorched.

1440
01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:50,000
Speaker 3: They're about to go scorched earth. It's gonna be incredibly ugly.

1441
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 8: The first time Trump ran, my phone was ringing off

1442
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 8: the wall to back Corning and I said, I'm not

1443
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 8: back in. I'm not gonna send money to Cornyn if

1444
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 8: he's not going to back uh Trump President Trump. Well,

1445
01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 8: I mean it was the first election, the first time

1446
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 8: he ran, and Cornyn was not standing up for Trump.

1447
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:15,800
Speaker 8: Nobody the establishment was standing back, and they would call

1448
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 8: me and I would tell those people, I'm not sending

1449
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 8: no money to Corning because he's not standing up for Trump.

1450
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,840
Speaker 8: And that what's been going on with Cornyn has been

1451
01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 8: going on for a while with uh Trump. It's just

1452
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 8: not this gun thing that happened after the Uvality school

1453
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 8: shooting and all that. It's been going on before Trump

1454
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 8: ever was president. Cornyn is not going to win. And

1455
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 8: if another question is I don't know when the primary

1456
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:48,200
Speaker 8: rentals are going to be. I think they're in May.

1457
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,840
Speaker 3: They're in May. That's that's right there in May. And

1458
01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 3: Trump is saying, no, no, no, we can't, we can't do that.

1459
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 3: The Trump is saying, we got I'm going to endorse

1460
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,880
Speaker 3: somebody very soon, and whoever they the other person has

1461
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:01,479
Speaker 3: has to drop out of the race.

1462
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 8: Well, Paxton is the he when Trump lost the second

1463
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 8: race and it was all that this cheating going on,

1464
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 8: Passion is the only one that stood up for President Trump,

1465
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 8: and he it was him that filed the charges that

1466
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 8: went all the way to the Supreme Court, and the

1467
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 8: Supreme Court said no, we ain't going to do it.

1468
01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:29,840
Speaker 8: I mean, Passing is Trump's lawyer, and the people are

1469
01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 8: coming onto that. And I don't think packs Paxton. I

1470
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,880
Speaker 8: mean a Corning and Passing if they was to have

1471
01:29:35,920 --> 01:29:39,639
Speaker 8: a debate, I don't even see Corning standing up and

1472
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:43,920
Speaker 8: being able to talk, you know, without making up all

1473
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 8: these lies about Paxton. I mean, it's just I mean,

1474
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:53,639
Speaker 8: when they try to impeach him. That was at the House,

1475
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 8: the House of Representatives, the Texas House of Representatives, half

1476
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 8: of them Republicans were all whit, even the the main

1477
01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 8: first and oh they called him drunk. Dave she was

1478
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 8: a Rhino. He was from Orange County or Orange Texas.

1479
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:17,360
Speaker 8: I mean it was it was just a big show.

1480
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 3: Well I will say this, John, and it's it's going this.

1481
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 3: This could get very ugly, very fast, and it could

1482
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 3: it could spiral out of control, which is why Trump

1483
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 3: is stepping in and saying we've got to figure this out.

1484
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 3: You're looking at two massively big personalities there. I'm not

1485
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,679
Speaker 3: sure they can do that. And to your point, it's

1486
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 3: been Ken Paxton who's been putting his reputation, his career,

1487
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,479
Speaker 3: his neck out there for Donald Trump and certainly not

1488
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 3: John Cornyn. So we'll see how all this plays out. Uh, John,

1489
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,200

01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 19: a little bit on what John said here. I'm just

1524
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 19: south of Houston where you were here this last week

1525
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 19: in Parland. We're in Brassoria County. And when I take

1526
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,599
Speaker 19: a look at the maps for all of the voting.

1527
01:33:11,040 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 19: What John said about the Bush Cheney factor, which is

1528
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 19: horrible in Texas, it's really been destructive for about the

1529
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:26,480
Speaker 19: last eight or ten years. He mentioned drunk Dade. Everybody

1530
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 19: knows who he is, but it's just a mess of

1531
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:33,759
Speaker 19: putting Democrats when.

1532
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 5: You have the.

1533
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 19: Lead in the state House, Senate and putting Democrats in

1534
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 19: positions of power. That's what it's been like for about

1535
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 19: the last ten or twelve years. But for us here

1536
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 19: in Bassouria County, this is a solid solid Republican and

1537
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:56,360
Speaker 19: the city I live in a solid solid Republican. But

1538
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 19: everybody here knows who John Cornyn is. But the battle

1539
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:06,599
Speaker 19: is going to be between Washington against the Bush Heights

1540
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 19: and Cheney of getting them.

1541
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 12: If possible, out of.

1542
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 19: The ability to guide what the election is going to be,

1543
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:19,439
Speaker 19: because that's all it is for Corny. And so, like

1544
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,479
Speaker 19: I say, down here, if we take a look at Houston,

1545
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:24,599
Speaker 19: it's a little bit north and a little bit west

1546
01:34:24,600 --> 01:34:29,240
Speaker 19: of Houston they voted for Cornyan. Then you go to Austin,

1547
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 19: where our capitol live is, where all the.

1548
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 3: All red Yeah, all red for John Cornyn. Matt. I

1549
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 3: gotta leave it there, and I want to I want

1550
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:39,640
Speaker 3: to address what you talked about, So be sure to

1551
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:43,639
Speaker 3: listen right after this break. But again, Brazoria County going

1552
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:47,120
Speaker 3: forty one percent for Paxton, thirty eight percent for Cornon

1553
01:34:47,760 --> 01:35:02,800
Speaker 3: and Harris County. Wow, we'll talk about that. Bill's some

1554
01:35:02,880 --> 01:35:06,720
Speaker 3: good sports news to tell you about. President Trump is

1555
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 3: really frustrated, I think, along with the rest of us,

1556
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 3: about what's happening with college football and really the future

1557
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 3: of college sports. I don't know if you saw the

1558
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 3: report today they were running the numbers Memphis University at

1559
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:21,519
Speaker 3: Memphis basketball, which used to be one of the premier

1560
01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:27,760
Speaker 3: basketball organizations in the country, is now suffering its worst

1561
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 3: season in I think one hundred years. Oh wow, it's

1562
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 3: that not surprise. Honestly, Penny Hardaway and everybody loves Penny Hardaway.

1563
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 3: You know, he's born and raised here in Memphis, played

1564
01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:45,160
Speaker 3: college ball at Memphis, went on to be pro, then

1565
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:47,160
Speaker 3: came back and was what a high school coach?

1566
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:49,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a high school coach, won a championship

1567
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:52,280
Speaker 4: there and then came over to Memphis, and I had

1568
01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 4: a couple of good years at Memphis. I mean, I'll

1569
01:35:55,040 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 4: have meant. We went to the March Madness. We were

1570
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 4: in one time, one time, well two time?

1571
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 3: Was it two too?

1572
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, we went last year, but this year is

1573
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 4: probably our worst in a long, long time.

1574
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 3: They say, in the one hundred years of the program. Yeah,

1575
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:10,840
Speaker 3: it's that bad.

1576
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:13,600
Speaker 4: Yeah. So ticket sales are probably down.

1577
01:36:14,080 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 3: Way down. As a matter of fact, the headline today,

1578
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,880
Speaker 3: the breaking news headline, is there is a one point

1579
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:23,599
Speaker 3: two million dollar deficit shortfall because people are not going

1580
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 3: to the games and they don't know what to do.

1581
01:36:27,439 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 3: I think there are two issues. Number one is you know,

1582
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 3: it's a bad team. But number two, it's a bad conference.

1583
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 3: We're in the American Conference. How bad is your team

1584
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:39,320
Speaker 3: that you can't even beat other teams in the American

1585
01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 3: Conference when you've got more nil money than all of

1586
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 3: the other teams.

1587
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we lost to East Carolina the other day, some

1588
01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 4: embarrass they're the second worst team in our conference. Yeah,

1589
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 4: in our conference, not a great conference. So and we

1590
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 4: used to beat teams like, I mean, we beat Ole

1591
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 4: Miss a couple of years ago. We beat you know,

1592
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:00,599
Speaker 4: really good teams. And now we're yeah, I don't know,

1593
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:02,720
Speaker 4: it's not good. What do we do? I think we

1594
01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,599
Speaker 4: fire Penny so really, I think we got to get

1595
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 4: rid of him. He's not leaving on his own.

1596
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 3: Fire Penny Hardaway.

1597
01:37:08,600 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not the we got. I mean, we're basically

1598
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 4: doing a revamp of our sports in Memphis right now.

1599
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:16,919
Speaker 4: I mean, we got a new head coach for football,

1600
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 4: why not just give it a new fresh start.

1601
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean, Memphis, the Grizzly sucks.

1602
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:21,960
Speaker 2: NBA.

1603
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 3: It's just a bad It's not a good year. No,

1604
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,599
Speaker 3: it's just not a good year. I mean a lot

1605
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 3: of people are saying that or quietly because Penny Hardaway

1606
01:37:31,320 --> 01:37:36,040
Speaker 3: is treated like deity here at Memphis, so you're really

1607
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 3: not allowed to say anything. I mean, if you, if

1608
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 3: you go onto the fan pages, they're blaming everybody except

1609
01:37:42,400 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 3: the coach.

1610
01:37:43,880 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I get it. I mean he's he is

1611
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 4: a good he's a good Memphis person that we have here.

1612
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 4: And I'm glad that, you know, he represents Memphis. I'm

1613
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:55,400
Speaker 4: glad he came back. But when it's time, it's time.

1614
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,160
Speaker 4: I think he just got to face the facts. No

1615
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:01,480
Speaker 4: matter how legendary he is, this could hurt his reputation.

1616
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 4: I mean, not his reputation, what's the word, his image,

1617
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:05,920
Speaker 4: his legacy too. At the end of the day, if

1618
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 4: you're not a good coach, I mean, people are going

1619
01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 4: to remember you in the worst at the last part

1620
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:11,080
Speaker 4: of your career.

1621
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 3: I think there's a difference between college ball and a's

1622
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 3: at AAU ball the amateurball. There there just is, and

1623
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 3: you're the But the other problem here, and this is

1624
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:24,080
Speaker 3: something that President Trump is going to address, is the

1625
01:38:24,200 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 3: nil and what do you do. These kids are getting

1626
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 3: these massive paychecks. They're not going to class anymore. They're

1627
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 3: basically it's sort of like a semi pro. College sports

1628
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 3: is now semi pro, and there is no allegiance to

1629
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 3: the school, there's no allegiance to the town. It's all

1630
01:38:38,520 --> 01:38:42,479
Speaker 3: about yourself getting that paycheck and then transferring schools at

1631
01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 3: the end of the year. My question is based. I mean,

1632
01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 3: a lot of these kids are getting big checks. We

1633
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:50,559
Speaker 3: ought to be asking our money back for the for

1634
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:51,679
Speaker 3: the season they've had.

1635
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're probably not wrong. I feel bad for a

1636
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,760
Speaker 4: lot of the coaches too. I mean some can say

1637
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 4: you can feel bad for a penny because you know,

1638
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 4: he did come into this Memphis Tigers team as a

1639
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:06,040
Speaker 4: good recruiter. We saw him get the number one recruit

1640
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 4: in the whole country. And now with nil it doesn't

1641
01:39:09,439 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 4: even really matter because that guy's going to move schools

1642
01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,040
Speaker 4: is maybe one year after playing at Memphis, because again,

1643
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:17,720
Speaker 4: Memphis is not in a great conference. Yes, we have

1644
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:21,320
Speaker 4: the money, but we don't have the I don't know what.

1645
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 4: We don't have the name that we can get ourselves

1646
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 4: into a bigger conversation right now.

1647
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 3: And nobody wants Memphis. I mean, that's the sad thing

1648
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 3: to say. Nobody wants us, That's it, and that's unfortunate.

1649
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 3: But President Trump announcing that he's going to be holding

1650
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:39,320
Speaker 3: a meeting over the future of college football, and I'm

1651
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 3: excited about this. You know who he did. He invited

1652
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:43,720
Speaker 3: a lot of people. I'm going to go through the

1653
01:39:43,800 --> 01:39:47,680
Speaker 3: names here people. The one group that he did not

1654
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 3: invitees a certain ESPN college football start and we're going

1655
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 3: to get to that in just a moment.

1656
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:55,799
Speaker 4: At least tell me he invited Saban.

1660
01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 3: Condoleeza Rice. You know, it's interesting. She wanted to be

1661
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,839
Speaker 3: Her dream job was to be head of the NFL.

1662
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's the job she wanted. But she was.

1663
01:40:22,160 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 3: But she's she loves she loves football. She's on the

Speaker 3: NBA commissioner Adam Silver, what a loser that guy is.

1668
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I can go without him. Yeah, exactly.

1669

Speaker 4: That's nice.

1674
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 3: That'll be good Charlie Ward. This is shocking. Paul Finebomb

1675
01:41:02,840 --> 01:41:03,959
Speaker 3: has not been invited.

1676
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I thought you said he was going to

1677
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 4: be invited.

1678
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:07,720
Speaker 3: No, he's been snubbed.

1679
01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope this conversation goes well.

1680
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:13,719
Speaker 3: Fine Bomb knows everything about SEC football, that's true, Yes

1681
01:41:13,760 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 3: he does. How do you not invite Fine Bob? I

1682
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:19,840
Speaker 3: met him once at the airport. I think I told

1683
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:23,160
Speaker 3: this story. Oh yeah, he wore a mask. I'm sorry,

1684
01:41:23,200 --> 01:41:26,240
Speaker 3: that's a loser. A couple of years after COVID exactly. Yes,

1685
01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:28,679
Speaker 3: COVID was not even a thing. I'm like, dude, what's

1686
01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:33,639
Speaker 3: going on here? Anyway? He is a Republican though, That's

1687
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 3: what there you go.

1688
01:41:34,920 --> 01:41:37,040
Speaker 4: And those like the biggest those are like the biggest

1689
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,520
Speaker 4: names probably on the list.

1690
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:42,160
Speaker 3: Look, they've got they I think everybody understands we've got

1691
01:41:42,160 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 3: big problems and the Ncaaight, they either don't know what

1692
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:47,840
Speaker 3: to do or they don't want to fix it. But

1693
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 3: President Trump could come in and do something that could

1694
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:53,439
Speaker 3: save college sports from itself.

1695
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 4: I really hope.

1696
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 8: So.

1697
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:56,479
Speaker 4: I'm glad Nick Saban's in that conversation because he's like

1698
01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 4: the pioneer of this. He's like, I hate that this

1699
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:01,559
Speaker 4: is like, this is like he stopped coaching because like

1700
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:03,720
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you're a good coach,

1701
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if you're a coach, Like they're going

1702
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 4: to leave.

1703
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 3: You know, Trump is a big football fan. You know,

1704
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 3: he owned a team back in the uh what was it,

1705
01:42:10,560 --> 01:42:13,800
Speaker 3: the old USFL back in the nineteen eighties, which is

1706
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 3: how he and Herschel Walker got to know each other.

1707
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:19,759
Speaker 3: They became very very close friends, and he recruited Walker

1708
01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 3: to play for oh, what was it, the New Jersey Generals. Oh,

1709
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 3: that was the team back in the day. And the

1710
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:29,200
Speaker 3: Trump I mean, there was a story circulating that Trump

1711
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:32,519
Speaker 3: actually wanted to buy the entire league and apparently that

1712
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:33,479
Speaker 3: did not work out.

1713
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 4: So I could you imagine what that would be like,

1714
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 4: that would be so cool. Probably so many fan experiences,

1715
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,799
Speaker 4: so many like just back to the basics of college football.

1716
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:46,120
Speaker 4: Just entertainment, pure entertainment. Probably.

1717
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:49,679
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad the president and all of these college leaders.

1718
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 3: You know, Saban's really been frustrated over this. And by

1719
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:54,240
Speaker 3: the way, talking about a smart guy, you know, he

1720
01:42:54,240 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 3: still wants to coach.

1721
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:57,799
Speaker 4: I know he probably would coach if this gets fixed.

1722
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 3: But get into it. But he saw what was to

1723
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:02,840
Speaker 3: happen with the NIL and Alabama just said they don't

1724
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:03,400
Speaker 3: have the money.

1725
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,040
Speaker 4: No, and they look at them now it's not the same.

1726
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:08,880
Speaker 3: Not good, not good at all. So all of this

1727
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 3: is happening Friday, right, what is there? What is today?

1728
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:13,599
Speaker 4: Today's Wednesday?

1729
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 3: Wednesday thirty Friday at the at the White House, big

1730
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:20,880
Speaker 3: roundtable discussion. We're going to get some sports guys on

1731
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,519
Speaker 3: the show to talk about this. We have to save

1732
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:26,800
Speaker 3: college football. That's all there is to it. We have

1733
01:43:26,880 --> 01:43:30,200
Speaker 3: to and it's just so sad, is what has happened. Look,

1734
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:33,439
Speaker 3: even in some of the SEC schools. You there was

1735
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 3: a time back in the I will say seventies, eighties, nineties,

1736
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:42,400
Speaker 3: early two thousand's you could not get tickets, stadiums filled

1737
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 3: to overflowing. Now, eh, not so much, yep. And what's

1738
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:49,800
Speaker 3: even worse is the students. There's just not a lot

1739
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:50,880
Speaker 3: of student involvement.

1740
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that pairs with the overall fan

1741
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:57,799
Speaker 4: experience too, because NIL, you're not following your classmate anymore,

1742
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 4: you're following some guy from a different country.

1743
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 3: So they've started a group called Save College Sports. A

1744
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:06,560
Speaker 3: guy by the name of Cody Campbell, he's chairman of

1745
01:44:06,600 --> 01:44:10,640
Speaker 3: Texas Texas Board of Regents, former college ballplayer, and this

1746
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 3: is his campaign and he's going to be involved in

1747
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 3: these discussions as well and looking at maybe having additional

1748
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 3: meetings here. So, uh, let's see what happens. I think

1749
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 3: I've got the perfect solution here, which is signed these guys.

1750
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:30,720
Speaker 3: Sign these guys to you know, a contract. They've got

1751
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 3: to play all four years at the school and if

1752
01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:36,440
Speaker 3: they designed to transfer, they get one option to transfer.

1753
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,280
Speaker 3: Anything over that they lose that money and they've got

1754
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 3: to pay that money back to the university.

1755
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 4: That's that's simple and sweet right there. Yeah, that would

1756
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 4: fix a lot of problems.

1757
01:44:46,600 --> 01:44:49,040
Speaker 3: It fixed the problem. You could even cap it. You

1758
01:44:49,040 --> 01:44:52,160
Speaker 3: can say, you know what you're not getting because again,

1759
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 3: lost in all of this is the fact these guys

1760
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 3: are supposed to be getting a college education.

1761
01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 4: Right. We forget about that part.

1762
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 3: And the big problem though is you know, let's just

1763
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:05,160
Speaker 3: say these athletes, say you're making a couple of million dollars. Okay,

1764
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:08,040
Speaker 3: when you're a professional athlete, you're not going to be

1765
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,639
Speaker 3: a professor. You're not going to be a Tom Brady, right,

1766
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 3: he is the the anomaly. A lot of these guys

1767
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,920
Speaker 3: they go down after the first or second season with

1768
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 3: a career ending injury and that's it. And there's They've

1769
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:24,679
Speaker 3: got no college degree, they have no skill set other

1770
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 3: than playing football, and that's it for them.

1771
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:30,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. My favorite example of a player that's treating this

1772
01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 4: whole nil stuff the right way is Fernando Mendoza from Indiana.

1773
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:37,800
Speaker 4: You know they won the you know they won the championship,

1774
01:45:37,840 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 4: but he updated his LinkedIn profile with the championship tag

1775
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 4: on his LinkedIn profile. He's like, this is this is

1776
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:48,559
Speaker 4: a business like, this is like, yeah, I'm going in

1777
01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 4: for a job interview, even though he's probably gonna be

1778
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:53,120
Speaker 4: the number one overall pick. He's like, this is a

1779
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 4: this is what this is. I'm going and I got

1780
01:45:55,200 --> 01:45:57,439
Speaker 4: my college degree. Now I'm going to my job.

1781
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:01,639
Speaker 3: It's I was what was I was watching the other

1782
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 3: night after it was the day, the morning that the

1783
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:07,680
Speaker 3: hockey guys US men's hockey won, I went back to

1784
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:10,400
Speaker 3: watch the Disney Show Miracle on Ice. Oh ye're a

1785
01:46:10,600 --> 01:46:14,040
Speaker 3: sports mogue. Great sports. At the very end, they update

1786
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 3: you on what the players are doing, and just like

1787
01:46:17,240 --> 01:46:21,520
Speaker 3: a plastic surgeon, you know, then you know, Joe Bitchecky,

1788
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm just making up names. Here is a car salesman,

1789
01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:27,400
Speaker 3: and there this one guy at the very end. Now

1790
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,840
Speaker 3: keep in mind this was what nineteen eighties, so this

1791
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:33,280
Speaker 3: was what forty years ago. At the very end, it

1792
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 3: had one of the other players and they did it

1793
01:46:35,240 --> 01:46:37,240
Speaker 3: real quick. So you have to kind of freeze frame

1794
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:43,680
Speaker 3: it and said going back to school to consider opportunities.

1795
01:46:44,439 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 3: You never want to be that guy. You know, forty

1796
01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 3: years later it's okay. So I'm like, Dune, you're in

1797
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 3: your sixties, help me understand that. I'm like, all right, okay,

1798
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 3: well this will be interesting. And so all of this

1799
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:02,600
Speaker 3: is happening on Friday. Maybe you I know, there have

1800
01:47:02,720 --> 01:47:05,120
Speaker 3: to be people out there that have suggestions on how

1801
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:07,600
Speaker 3: to fix what is broken with college sports. But it

1802
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:10,040
Speaker 3: is big money, especially in the Southern States. I had

1803
01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 3: to I mentionine in the Midwest as well, not so

1804
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:15,919
Speaker 3: much out on the West coast unless you're like Oregon,

1805
01:47:15,920 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 3: which I never could figure that.

1806
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:19,600
Speaker 4: Out why they're so good at football or.

1807
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, both, it's like they're liberal.

1808
01:47:22,720 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 4: Because Nike's out there, that's probably what it is.

1809
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,920
Speaker 3: Well that could be, that could be all right, and

1810
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:31,599
Speaker 3: those nasty, god awful colors that green and yellow puke yellow.

1811
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:32,120

Speaker 15: Oh gosh, sorry, Well, I want to tell you about

1826
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 15: why I thought you were an OSU grad. The words

1827
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 15: about their uniforms come right out of the mouths of OSU.

1828
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 3: Grads, Is that right?

1829
01:48:31,840 --> 01:48:34,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, so you guys put the nail on the head. Now,

1830
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 15: let me tell you a little bit about the money.

1831
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 15: Phil Knight gives that school so much money that the

1832
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:44,040
Speaker 15: head coach at Oregon and the head coach at Oklahoma

1833
01:48:44,800 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 15: State had a big discussion before their game this last fall,

1834
01:48:48,920 --> 01:48:52,960
Speaker 15: and it was like, you get eleven million dollars, we

1835
01:48:53,240 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 15: get thirty three million or forty million. That was the

1836
01:48:56,520 --> 01:49:01,200
Speaker 15: difference between Oregon and Oklahoma State. So how do you

1837
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 15: beat someone that has that much money? So the thing

1838
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 15: I like about trying to fix football is schools like

1839
01:49:07,920 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 15: Oregon State that have such a healthy environment and they

1840
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 15: have made it a few times, maybe could compete, but

1841
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 15: they're never going to have thirty five or forty million

1842
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 15: dollars for football.

1843
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,320
Speaker 3: No, they're not. And that is one of the big challenges.

1844
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 3: Who's any You get some of these guys you know,

1845
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 3: out there with your multi bazillionaires, and they're going to

1846
01:49:27,720 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 3: be funneling a lot of money. I mean, it's funny

1847
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 3: to you kind of laugh at this, but you know what,

1848
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:37,160
Speaker 3: if Zuckerberg decides he really wants Harvard to have a football.

1849
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:40,760
Speaker 15: Program, Wow, Yes. So I want to tell you a

1850
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:43,559
Speaker 15: little more about Phil Knight and Nike and how they're

1851
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 15: involved with Oregon. Bill Knight ran tracks for Oregon, so

1852
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 15: he has a huge tie into Oregon. And if you

1853
01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:55,240
Speaker 15: go online to the Oregon website and look at the

1854
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 15: track and field facility they have there, it will absolutely

1855
01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:03,559
Speaker 15: blow your mind. All the underground stuff. The athletes get

1856
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:07,559
Speaker 15: barber shops, restaurants, you name it. And I'm sure the

1857
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 15: football guys use that same facility. And that's why the

1858
01:50:11,400 --> 01:50:14,959
Speaker 15: world championships in track and field have come to Oregon

1859
01:50:15,400 --> 01:50:19,520
Speaker 15: because of these incredible facilities. All phill Night money.

1860
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 3: Is that right? Wow? Well it's a lot of money,

1861
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:24,639
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. And I know the school. They've got

1862
01:50:24,680 --> 01:50:26,559
Speaker 3: to be hampy to have Phil Night showing up.

1863
01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 15: Oh my goodness. Absolutely, And he's a great guy, don't

1864
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,479
Speaker 15: get me wrong. I think his wife might be a beaver.

1865
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:37,800
Speaker 15: And occasionally they give money the OSU two. But oh,

1866
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 15: the team makes any difference.

1867
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,479
Speaker 3: Sorry, you lost me there for a second. He's not

1868
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 3: married to a beaver. That would be the team, that

1869
01:50:44,720 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 3: would be the Beavers.

1870
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 15: Well no, his wife, Oh pretty sure, she's a beaver.

1871
01:50:51,640 --> 01:50:54,639
Speaker 15: So they get a little money an Oregon State beaver,

1872
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 15: Brad his wife.

1873
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh that's what the Oregon State. That's their mascot, the beaver.

1874
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 15: Okay, Oh my goodness, you don't know anything less of

1875
01:51:03,400 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 15: the Mississippi.

1876
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:05,120
Speaker 7: Do you.

1877
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 3: No, I don't, Susannah. I'm but you're educating me. I'm

1878
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,599
Speaker 3: just glad he's not married to a beaver. I mean,

1879
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:12,640
Speaker 3: you know, well a little bit.

1880
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:16,280
Speaker 15: Don't quote me on it, but I try to read

1881
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 15: some of that whenever I can. So you're still there,

1882
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:24,040
Speaker 15: you go. No, you do know now Oregon State that

1883
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:27,520
Speaker 15: the women have made it to the Final four in basketball,

1884
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:30,760
Speaker 15: and two years ago they were in the Elite eight

1885
01:51:31,240 --> 01:51:34,320
Speaker 15: and every girl on that team went out in the portal.

1886
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:36,120
Speaker 3: Is that right?

1887
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:39,040
Speaker 15: I did not know that, and the coach had to

1888
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:42,799
Speaker 15: start all over. Scott Ruick, who's been there sixteen years,

1889
01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:46,679
Speaker 15: had to start out all over again. And last year

1890
01:51:46,720 --> 01:51:49,640
Speaker 15: he won the West Coast Conference championships in spite of

1891
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 15: the fact that he had.

1892
01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:51,519
Speaker 18: Lost all the girls.

1893
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:54,200
Speaker 3: Well, I'll be tell me, Susannah, I hear somebody that?

1894
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:56,559
Speaker 3: Is that a little dog barking in the background there?

1895
01:51:56,680 --> 01:52:00,559
Speaker 15: I'm very sorry. That's my Kavit, who she doesn't like

1896
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:03,560
Speaker 15: being in her pen, and she's been biting my husband's

1897
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 15: foot and he's very sick. So I had, oh here

1898
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 15: put her away.

1899
01:52:07,520 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your dogs? No, don't apologize, I was just curious.

1900
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:11,800
Speaker 3: What's your dog's name?

1901
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 10: Lulu?

1902
01:52:14,160 --> 01:52:16,599
Speaker 3: What a great name? All right, Lulu.

1903
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:20,439
Speaker 15: She's on her way to get groomed and the person's here,

1904
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:22,600
Speaker 15: so I have to hang up, but thank you so

1905
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 15: much for taking my call.

1906
01:52:24,200 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 3: We go Bee, all right, happy to oblige. Thank you

1907
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:30,800

1908
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:32,720
Speaker 4: I'm still confused.

1909
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,559
Speaker 3: So he's not married, Well, he's married to a beaver

1910
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 3: in the sense that the wife apparently is a Oregon

1911
01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 3: State grand and I guess it's the Oregon State beavers.

1912
01:52:41,479 --> 01:52:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think I'm confused because when you try

1913
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:47,600
Speaker 4: to clarify, she was like, no, he's she's married to

1914
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:48,440
Speaker 4: a beaver.

1915
01:52:48,600 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 3: A beaver. Yes, I understand it was no, you know, no,

1916
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:52,599
Speaker 3: I wonder what the beaver.

1917
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:53,519
Speaker 4: I think it's a beaver.

1918
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:57,439
Speaker 3: Just leave it to beaver. I don't know, So there

01:52:57,479 --> 01:52:58,920
Speaker 3: you go. I'm gonna have to brush up on me.

1920
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 3: She was taking me to ask. She's very knowledge she

1921
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:04,200
Speaker 3: is very knowledgeable. So I'm going to do a better job.

1922
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:06,920
Speaker 3: But I feel like we have been educated today on
