Speaker 3: You got it, Mike. Very exciting news and I want

22
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 3: to talk about the Somali fraud in just a moment.

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: But I'm just curious, what is it that prompted you

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: to design, you know what, I'm going to run for governor.

25
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Well, you know, there's been things I wanted. I grew

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: up and born and raised in Minnesota, and I've had

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: business there. I started from scratch my whole life. I

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: was used to be an attic in downtown Minneapolis. I

29
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: have set free, by the grace of God with my

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: addictions and worked with the inner city people and uh

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: teen Chunge Union Gospel back in the day poured millions

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: into that and and then, uh, you know, I've seen

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: all the problems we were having, and I was actually

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 4: going to run. I told the President before the twenty

35
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: twenty election, I said, you know, I think I'm going

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: to run for governor Minnesota. Well then, as we all know,

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: when the when that election came down, was stoleed and

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: and I put my heart and sole into securing our

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 4: election platforms the last five years, and we've made great

40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: progress in that, and I felt, uh it was time.

41
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: My wife and I we prayed about it over Thanksgiving,

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: and as you know, my Pillow has been the most

43
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: attent company in history, and I said, you know, I said,

44
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: if we if I could get my pillow right, I

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: feel secure where my employees are safe, and and this

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: law fare and this uh this other stuff that they

47
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 4: keep kept coming after my pillow to cancel them out,

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,839
Speaker 4: was it was at a level that that I could

49
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: move on. I said, I'll run for governor and then

50
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: and then all this uh fraud and all this other

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: stuff starts to get exposed. And and I've seen the

52
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: other twelve candidates that are running, and I just said,

53
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 4: you know, it's God. If you want something done right,

54
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: you do it yourself. And I just know I can

55
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: do the job, get it done. And and with our

56
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: well the experiences I've had in business and both building

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: businesses and fixing them as they uh as they as

58
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 4: you have problems. So it was kind of a combination

59
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: of things. But I've been thinking about it for a

60
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 4: long time. And he did not want me running. He

61
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: as soon as he heard I was running, Kim Walls said,

62
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: do we want he put out a big presley? Do

63
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: we want Mike g Lindell and Donald Trump coming into

64
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: Minnesota and ruining our family values? That was a quote

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: from Jim Walls.

66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: Wow, it's it's uh, this guy tampon. Tim Waltz. Yeah,

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: it's it's crazy. Is it true. We've we've heard rumblings

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 3: that people are literally driving by the governor's mansion and

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: hollering out you know, just I mean, this guy is

70
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: getting heckled wherever he goes, wherever he is in Minnesota.

71
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, right now he's putting out stuff with all

72
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: the fraud they say it someths of nine billion now

73
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: and in under your watch, and if he wasn't in

74
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: it's got to be the biggest neglect of a governor

75
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: in the history of the world, because they're calling it

76
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: the biggest fraud in the United States history. And if

77
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: in what he's been doing, because the media, the Minnesota

78
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: media covers for him too. They're all in bed together,

79
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: I think, and they Uh, but he's going we got

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: to get rid of the guns. We got to get

81
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: rid of the guns. That's his focus this last week.

82
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: You're just deflecting. If you're if you're in Minnesota and

83
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 4: you're just focused on our local media, you're probably still

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: brainwashed that nothing's nothing's wrong. And then you go to

85
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 4: social media and you see there's one hundred million views,

86
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: everybody one hundred million of from this weekend of that

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 4: Nick guy that Nick made, the Nick Shirley Nick Shirley

88
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 4: that made those amazing videos went door to door the

89
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 4: Somalian healthcare centers and there's no kids, and uh, there're

90
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 4: no kids. And they can't hide this one, Todd. They're

91
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 4: not going to be able to hide this one. They've

92
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: been doing this to our welfare systems with education, they

93
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: did it with autism sign ups, Medicaid, housing programs. This

94
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: this fraud has been going on in one case or

95
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 4: another with all these welfare programs. But this one's so

96
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: blatant you can't even explain it away. The only thing

97
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: that they could do is keep keep the reporter Nick

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 4: from going inside, and they wouldn't let them in. Well

99
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 4: where's the kids, Well, we don't have any kids. Well

100
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: and then one of them says learning center. Everybody learning center.

101
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: And they didn't put the in. It says luring center.

102
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 4: You know they they it's just it's despicable and it's uh,

103
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 4: they say it could be the worst or the New

104
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: York The New York Post reported on December twenty first

105
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: that it could be upwards of nine billion dollars. That's

106
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: half of Minnesota's half of Minnesota's eighteen million dollars allotment

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: over the last five years. And uh, that's all of

108
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: Somalian's national economy combined.

109
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: It's just outrageous.

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: And it's it really is.

111
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: I mean when when you look at and that's all

112
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: taxpayer money, Mike, that could be used to help actual

113
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: law abiding American citizens one hundred percent.

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: And then you talked about Minnesota taxes going up and

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 4: up and up. And that's one of the biggest reasons why.

116
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: And one of the things I'm very you know that,

117
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 4: I another reason I want to run for governor. But

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: the biggest problems, some of the biggest problems we have obviously,

119
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: is is these welfare programs in general, are they good?

120
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: Do they work? Let's say that, Let's say they We're

121
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: all done legitimately, and but you've got a lot of

122
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: people I don't want my taxes going to that, or

123
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: me out, A lot of my facts is going to that.

124
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 4: And and I developed a program about eight years ago

125
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 4: or now it's been ten years, and we launched it

126
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: in Detroit. I launched it in a whole bunch of

127
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 4: countries to test it and it's absolutely amazing. It combines

128
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: private sector money with government money and it'll take away

129
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: all those programs and this will be a perfect plug in.

130
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: And so I've got a good solution for that. And

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: then I've got to with all the addicts, you know,

132
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: addictions kind of my foretape me being the next crack

133
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: cocaine attic. And I've got a great thing that worked

134
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: with Ben Carson I when in the first administration to

135
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: get the homeless and the addicts and the men people

136
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: that have mental problems off the streets. And it is

137
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: absolutely still have the blueprints for that. So that's what

138
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 4: every city needs. You can't just take these people and

139
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: move them over here, and then move them over here

140
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: and move them over here, and there's really these programs work.

141
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: And then the other one is is education. So I've

142
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: got a lot of things that from my past that

143
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: I can pull out now and say, hey, here's the

144
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 4: solution for this, including, by the way, everybody running for governor,

145
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: because there was a few things I was going to

146
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 4: do for our great president that we didn't have to

147
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 4: even get that far at twenty twenty four. And uh,

148
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to pull them out of the uh pull

149
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: them out of the arsenal there, and I'm going to

150
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: launch that. So anybody wants to help out, It's Mike

151
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: glendellgov dot com and we we get we get this mom,

152
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: get this funded, and it's uh, I will win that

153
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: primary and uh and beat ball side the energy. I'm

154
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: pretty excited. I was pulling. They did a they did

155
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: a pre poll and I was pulling at fifty four

156
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: percent and I haven't even you know, I didn't even

157
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 4: really get started till a week ago, So that was

158
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: Those are those betting polls where I think they think

159
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: they know. I guess there's who's betting on who to

160
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 4: win the primary. We have twelve people in the primary

161
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,359
Speaker 4: in Minnesota.

162
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think you're going to be able

163
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: to clear the field with that Trump endorsement, no doubt

164
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 3: about it, and the fact that everybody loves my pillow

165
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: and uh, I'm serious. Look, let me ask you this,

166
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: though you know the flag your governor Waltz changed the

167
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: state flag and it kind of looks like the Somalian flag.

168
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: If you're governor, will you will you restore the original flag?

169
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 4: If we were, if we were by video right now,

170
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 4: I got one in my hand absolutely first day. That

171
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 4: was so sick what he did to us and changed

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: that flag. And also if he did another thing, and

173
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: you guys can look it up, look it up online.

174
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: The he put in the in our capitol of Minnesota.

175
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: It's a Satanic statue right in the middle of the capitol.

176
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 4: When you walk in and he says, now, I don't

177
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: I don't really know I like this, but you know,

178
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: we gotta be fair. Fair what it's the only statue

179
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: in there that statues bye. By the day I get

180
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: in there and here comes back our good old Minnesota flag.

181
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 4: The stuff is just nonsensical thing.

182
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 5: That you would do that.

183
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: It's almost like, you know, evil just wants to shove

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: it in your face. And that's what's happened to us

185
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 4: in Minnesota. You got to realize this guy had when

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: we were in during the China but I s memory

187
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: he burned down. They let the minieappos get burned down.

188
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: But we had in Thanksgiving that year. He made us

189
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: stay in our homes that we couldn't have more than

190
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 4: eight people. If we had more than eight people, your

191
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: neighbor turned you in. You had a hotline and you

192
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: got ninety days in jail potentially, and for Christmas, Tim

193
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: Waltz gave us an extra four people here. You get

194
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: to have call for Christmas. Just disgusting.

195
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 6: Wow.

196
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 3: Wow, All right, Mike, we've got a lot to talk about.

197
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: We're going to get you back on. I know you're

198
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: super busy today and we appreciate you taking some time out.

199
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: We wish you nothing but the best. Can't wait to

200
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: be able to call you. Governor Lindell.

201
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: Well, thank you so much. And you guys, if you

202
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: want more information, if you want to help, it's Mike

203
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 4: glendellgob dot com. This is a national problem and I

204
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 4: and really I know when it comes up in Minnesota,

205
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: it's just the tip of the spear for what's been

206
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: going on in our country. Yeah, well you everybody, thanks

207
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: for having me on, Todd, God bless you, and we'll

208
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: talk soon.

209
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: All right. There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Mike

210
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: Lindell running for governor in Minnesota. And I love that

211
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: he said the first first thing, first order of business

212
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: is to restore the original state flag. In all seriousness,

213
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 3: they just redid the state flag and it looks like

214
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: very close I mean colored design everything. It looks like

215
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: the flag of Somalia. You can't make this stup up, folks,

216
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: you just can't. But the level of corruption, and we'll

217
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: get into more of this. The fact that all it

218
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: took was what a twenty three year old independent journalist

219
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: to go in and expose, uncovering one day, over one

220
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 3: hundred and ten million dollars in fraud just unbelievable. All right,

221
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 3: we've got to take a break here. What do you

222
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: think here, folks. Mike Lindell running for governor, has President

223
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 3: trump'son endorsement. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

224
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: two six. Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two

225
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: six zero five, nine to six. This is the Todd

246
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: to the phones. Let's start in Houston, Texas. Don is

247
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: listening to us on Patriot Talk nine to twenty. Don.

248
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: Happy New Year to you. What's on your mind?

249
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 6: Well, happy new year to you, my friend. I've called

250
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 6: several times. I'm very happy to say that you're one

251
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 6: of my favorite podcasters. And by the way, here's my

252
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 6: question now, I love for as intro. Thank you for

253
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 6: doing a heck of a job. Okay, now, he's appointed

254
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 6: FBI the ol day. A lot of people, Okay, they've

255
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 6: had scented hearings, they've had this, they've had that. They've

256
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,479
Speaker 6: said that, you know, we've got fraud, we've got perjury,

257
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 6: We've got all but nobody, nobody that I know of,

258
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 6: unless it's a very minor character, because they ever spent

259
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 6: jail time. Now perjury, if I understand, it is an

260
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 6: illegal activity and it is punishable. Even if they only

261
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: sent him to jail for a week, it would stop

262
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 6: a lot of the stuff that we got going on.

263
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: Why hasn't somebody somewhere sometimes gone to jail?

264
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, Don, it's it's a terrific question you ask, and

265
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: one the President has been asking as as well. I

266
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: know that Pam Bondy is feeling a little bit of

267
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: heat right now from from the White House because we

268
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: just haven't seen much movement at all.

269
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 7: Now.

270
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: I know her meat Dylan was talking about this over

271
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: the weekend and she says it takes time. The statute

272
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: of limitations is we're not anywhere near that expiring, so

273
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: they keep telling us to be patient. But I got

274
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: to tell you something, Don, One of the things that

275
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: really bothered me, You know when all the reports came

276
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: out about what's happening, not only in Minnesota with the fraud,

277
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: but also in Ohio. Now, so you have Somalians at

278
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: the center of two major scandals, and all we're hearing

279
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: from Congress right now are comments, Oh, we're outraged over this.

280
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: How could this possibly? You know what, Don, I'm tired

281
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: of outrage. I want to see action. I want to

282
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: see people going to jail.

283
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 6: I'm with you. I'll vote for you if you want

284
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 6: to run process.

285
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: I'm good, thank you. I don't want to take a

286
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: pay cut, Don, And you know what I well, then again,

287
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you know you for whatever reason, I could

288
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: become a multi bazillionaire, mean just because of the stock options.

289
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what it is with members of Congress,

290
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: but they become miracle workers.

291
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 8: Right.

292
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 6: Well, all you got to do is get in there,

293
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 6: and you know, you make one hundred and seventy five

294
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 6: thousand dollars a year, and yet you can be a

295
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 6: millionaire within just a matter of a few years. And

296
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 6: I don't understand that, but it seems to be the

297
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: way they do it, and that's why they stay in

298
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 6: office forever. Let's have term limits and let's start putting

299
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 6: people in jail that do fraud, that do perjury, and

300
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: commit crimes. If they come from in here illegally, they

301
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 6: go out illegal, just means that is against the law. Okay,

302
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 6: if we have a law, then we can try them.

303
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 6: We can give them a fair trial. That's fair, and

304
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 6: then if they're guilty, we put them in jail. If

305
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 6: they're innocent, they go for it. Sense to me, I

306
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't understand what's happening with the Republican Party.

307
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: Why they want to be I guess so forgiving when

308
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 6: the people that they're fighting against are not forgiving. And

309
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 6: I want him to stand together as a group, just

310
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 6: like the Democrats do. The Democrats walk in lucks in

311
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 6: luckstep and you know, if we can't get behind their

312
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 6: president and stay with him.

313
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 9: You know, he's a perfect We know.

314
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: That he's going to make areas. He's going to make

315
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: mistakes because he's human. That's a fact, and we've got

316
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 6: to accept that. And we're not gonna like everything he does.

317
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: But for the most.

318
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 6: Part, I'll give him eighty five ninety percent of the stuff.

319
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 6: I love what he's trying to do. But now let's

320
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 6: get behind him and help him.

321
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: Everything you just said, Don is so accurate and your

322
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 3: very reasonable, common sense approach to all of this. Look,

323
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: here's here's the channel the Republicans. I think some of

324
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: the Republicans have learned. They've learned from Trump. They've adapted

325
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: those tactics of knowing, you know what, it's okay to

326
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: fight back, it's okay to go after the media, and

327
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 3: we we the people expect you to do that, and

328
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: some of them are doing it. But again with leadership,

329
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: and especially on the Senate side, you've got John Thune

330
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: who simply will not do away with the blue slips

331
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: or the filibuster. And I will say this, Don, thank

332
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: you for the call. I will say this about about

333
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 3: the midterms. If the Republicans in the Senate don't do

334
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 3: away with the filibuster and the blue slips, that could

335
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: spell disaster when the midterms come around. That's what's holding

336
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: up President Trump's agenda right now. So we've got to

337
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: talk some sense into our Republicans in the Senate. We've

338
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: got to again double down or whatever is happening in

339
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: the House. We've got an interview coming up with Tim Burchett,

340
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 3: and he's got a concern about what could happen in

341
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: the next couple of months. All right, we've got to

342
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: take a break here, folks. Nine oh one two six

343
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. Our number, that's nine oh

344
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 3: one two six zero five nine two six. This is

345
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: the Todd Stern Show. Hey, folks, Angel Studios is having

Speaker 3: deal so good it pays for itself. Now, listen, I

353
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 3: talk a lot about protecting our families, what we watch,

354
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 3: what we bring into our homes, and this is one

355
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 3: of the easiest ways to do it. This is Angel's

356
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: lowest price of the year, and honestly, it's the kind

Speaker 3: biggest sale of the year. Well, Starbucks they're shutting down

361
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: more stores, everybody. I welcome back to the Todd Sterns

362
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: radio show. This story out of CNN Starbucks closing at

363
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: least four hundred stores across the country, including forty two

364
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 3: in New York City alone. That's about twelve percent of

365
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: the total Starbucks locations in New York City. You know,

366
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: the running joke at one time was that there were

367
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: so many Starbucks that they were actually opening up Starbucks

368
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: inside the bathrooms of existing Starbucks. I mean that's I mean,

369
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: every other corner in New York City had a Starbucks

370
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: on it. And that philosophy is that business philosophy. Apparently

371
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: it is just no longer working. But I don't know

372
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 3: about that. I first of all, I Dylan, are you

373
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: you're are you a Starbucks guy? I know that old

374
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: deader was he used to live and die by Starbucks.

375
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh.

376
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 3: So and I know it.

377
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, I would see it every morning, the VINTI, which

378
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 10: is there large. Uh No, I don't like Starbucks. It's

379
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 10: way too sugary. There's not enough coffee in the Starbucks

380
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 10: for me.

381
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it tastes burnt to me. I don't know why.

382
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: It's you know, I just I prefer community coffee. It's

383
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: it's my go to jam.

384
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, and it's cheaper and it tastes better.

385
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: It's what five six bucks? Yeah, and then he got

386
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: a tip.

387
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, it's off the charts now. I think it's

388
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 10: like seven or eight bucks. I mean, my wife, she

389
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 10: gets Starbucks all the time, and so.

390
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 3: That's a lot of money. It starts to add up.

391
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 10: Needless to say, she got a lot of Starbucks s

392
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 10: gift cards.

393
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: Oh well, that's good, those will come in hand. It's

394
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 3: the problem, Well, the problem a lot of people are

395
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 3: thinking they just have too many stores. I would contend,

396
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: first of all, it's the price point. It's just too expensive.

397
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 3: But most of the stores that are closing are actually

398
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: in big cities like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles,

399
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: and San Francisco. And what do all of those cities

400
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: have in common. Number one, they've got a high crime rate.

401
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: The downtowns are overrun with drug addicts and homeless people,

402
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 3: and and Starbucks made it a point several years ago

403
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: to open up their stores to anybody, so you didn't

404
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: even you did not have to actually order anything in Starbucks.

405
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 3: You could just go in and just hang out. And

406
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 3: that's what a lot of the homeless people were doing

407
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: in San Francisco. They just go in and they would

408
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: use the bathrooms to bathe themselves, and then they would

409
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 3: and just lounge. And I got to tell you, I

410
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: don't think a lot of people, even in San Francisco,

411
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: they want to be drinking their I don't know, liquefied

412
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: lawn clippings. What is that, macha. They don't want to

413
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: be drinking the mancha next to a drug addict. I mean,

414
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: I may be wrong here, but I think ultimately that's

415
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: the reason why. So I think it's fascinating in this

416
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: article at CNN that somebody actually brings that up. Is that, well,

417
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, one of the big problems. And just let

418
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 3: me run the numbers here. Twenty locations in Los Angeles

419
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 3: already shut down, fifteen in Chicago, seven in San fran

420
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: six in Minneapolis, and five in Baltimore. And I would say,

421
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis and Baltimore, you gotta have kevlar. So people

422
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: are saying, you know what, maybe just maybe I need

423
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: to go get my coffee somewhere else. And I mean

424
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: there are lots of other chains that are popping up.

425
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: We've got something called is it called Dutch Bros. I've

426
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 3: never heard. I've never been. I hear it's good stuff.

427
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 3: Deeter swears by it.

428
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's also expensive. It's just so much better to

429
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 10: make your own coffee nowadays because it's so sugary. But

430
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 10: I like the local, locally owned coffee shops. They're typically

431
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 10: like there's like four people that run the whole store,

432
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 10: and it's the best coffee you've ever had.

433
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: That's what I do. But typically I'll just make it

434
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 3: at home. Yeah, right, are you? Have you noticed a

435
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 3: lot of people are now switching back. They're getting rid

436
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: of the carrigs and they're just brewing their own coffee.

437
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 10: I have, And you know, funny enough, i'd recently learn

438
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 10: how to do that. And I know that I'm twenty

439
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 10: six years old, but I know how to make coffee now.

440
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: Look, it's never too late to learn. It's never too

441
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: late to learn. I'll teach you how to use a

442
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 3: stove coming up next. But in all seriousness, again, it

443
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: saves money, I mean when you start, Yeah, the cures.

444
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 3: So first of all, if you're drinking from home, if

445
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 3: you're doing the carrig, you're saving money. But if you're

446
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: gonna brew your own batch of coffe, You're saving even

447
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: more money. May I just tell you, And I am

448
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: a community coffee kind of a guy, but may I

449
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: just tell you, old school folgers, it really is good

450
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 3: to the last drop, As the television advertisement says. I'm

451
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: just saying so all that to say, I hate it

452
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: for Starbucks, but they're the ones that are partly responsible

453
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: for this because they turned their little coffee houses into

454
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 3: what they thought was going to be woke utopia, and

455
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: then they were overrun with people to a number two

456
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: in the bathroom and not using the toilet, and nobody

457
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: wants to drink coffee around that. I'm just saying, nobody

458
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 3: wants to drink coffee around it. Nine oh one two

459
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six hour telephone number. That's

460
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 3: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

461
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: All that to say, they still have eighteen thousand other

462
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: stores out there, but they're dropping like flies. Let's go

463
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: to James in Arkansas. James, what's on your mind?

464
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: Well, I've got to answer. Thanks for taking my calls up.

465
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 5: I've got an answer for the guy that called and said, Hey,

466
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 5: I'd like to know why no one's going to jail.

467
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 5: That's because the Republicans and the Democrats all have an agreement,

468
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 5: because they've all been up there for forty or fifty years,

469
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: that I won't send you to jail, and you won't

470
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 5: send me to jail. And that's just the way it is,

471
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 5: because you never see anybody going to jail, nobody. And

472
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 5: as soon as they start talking about this Senner Mark

473
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 5: Kelly and maybe pulling him back to active duty and

474
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: court martially, as soon as they start talking about that,

475
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, the stuff came up about the Secretary

476
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 5: of War peats except oh my gosh, we're gonna have

477
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: to prosecute him for killing drug terrorists, right, And that's

478
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 5: what they do. There's always some blackmail or something that

479
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 5: they've got on each other, and they're not going to jail,

480
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 5: none of them are.

481
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: It's yeah, yes, James, you've hit it right on the

482
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: head here, my friend. It's true. There is a UNI

483
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 3: Party that exists in Washington, DC. Donald Trump came into

484
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 3: power in part because he promised to blow all of

485
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: that up as best he could, and I think he has.

486
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: He's done a great job of it. But the reality

487
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: is there are a lot of Republicans who are still

488
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: if you want to call him establishment or rhino, I

489
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: guess you could use those terms and that terminology. But

490
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: we are still many, many election cycles away from having

491
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: a true America First Republican party, and by America First,

492
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 3: I mean a party that actually delivers on their campaign

493
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: promises instead of wanting to pala around with the Democrats.

494
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 5: I can tell you three things that will change Washington,

495
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 5: d C. Forever. Is we repeal the Amendment to the

496
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 5: Constitution that basically says senators get elected by the people

497
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: and go back to where the state legislators appointed the senators.

498
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: Number Two, you get rid of all those lobbyists that

499
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 5: go up there and hand out money, hand over fist

500
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 5: all those people, and make that illegal to lobby Congress.

501
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 5: And then I actually make a law that the people

502
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 5: in Congress they have to release every last tax return,

503
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 5: every last bank account to the American people every year.

504
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: And I guarantee you when they figure out they can't

505
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 5: gain the system anymore and cheat and make millions of dollars,

506
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 5: they'll quit going up there because there's no point. Because

507
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: they don't really want to serve the country. All they

508
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 5: want to do is make money.

509
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: You sound a little frustrated today, James.

510
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I mean it's just you know, and

511
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 5: I've been listening to you for a long time. I

512
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 5: listened to Bondie, you know, listen to Chris Player, listen

513
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: to all the guys, and everybody always talks about yeah,

514
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 5: well they've got it now, they're gonna stand so and

515
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 5: so to jail.

516
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: No if they're not, oh no no no, no, no, no, no,

517
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: no certa, no sirt, not on this program. I have been,

518
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, just a few moments ago,

519
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: we talk about we talked about this. You know, I'm

520
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: tired of the outrage and the righteous indignation. They have

521
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: got to start throwing people in jail. They've got to

522
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 3: follow through on all of these threats. And I'm telling you, James,

523
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: I have run a foul of just about every Republican

524
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: up there because I've been very, very direct and deliberate

525
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 3: criticizing these these hearings that are costing millions and millions

526
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: of dollars, and nothing ever gets done about it. Nothing ever,

527
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: nothing ever happens, and.

528
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 5: Nothing and nothing ever will Todd, I'm sorry, but nothing

529
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: ever will until you change the system to where they

530
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: can't make millions dollars and there's no profit and benefit

531
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 5: for them to go up there. Until you do that,

532
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 5: it's gonna keep on going the same way it is.

533
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 5: That's why they tried to impeach Donald Trump. They didn't

534
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 5: impeach him because they had evidence on him. If they

535
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 5: had anything on this Epstein thing, guess what that would

536
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 5: have been out back in twenty fifteen when he announced

537
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: he was running the first time. But the fact of

538
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 5: the matter is, until you make it where they can't

539
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 5: game the system anymore, they're gonna keep going up there

540
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: doing what they're doing.

541
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: James, I hear your frustration, my friend, and hang in there.

542
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna do our best to hold them accountable on

543
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 3: this program. And folks, that's going to require all of

544
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: you picking up the phones and give them, giving your

545
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 3: elected leaders a call and giving them the what for.

546
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just have to have a good come to

547
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Jesus meeting with these folks. All right, we've got to

Speaker 3: your kids, your grandkids, and you took them to Maybc's

591
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, a movie or like a musical. And

592
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: of course the Wizard of Oz is really popular around

593
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 3: Christmas time. And there's a story out of Memphis that

594
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: I want to share with you. This happened at the

595
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 3: Playhouse on the Square. Dylan, have you ever been over

596
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: to the Playhouse on the Square.

597
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 10: I have, Yeah, I've seen a few shows over there.

598
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: Our good friend Aiden Pettitt is one of the stars,

599
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 3: very talented there, and it's a professional theater company. And

600
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: so every Christmas they do something for the children. Isn't

601
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: that nice? I mean, you know, I mean they do

602
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 3: a lot of you they do a lot of other shows,

603
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: but they've been trying to do something and they try

604
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: to do something for the children at Christmas time. As

605
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, what is it they got, Well,

606
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 3: they have a Tuna Christmas, which is pretty good, I understand.

607
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: I don't know.

608
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: I've never I'm not a big fan of tuna, but

609
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 3: you know whatever, They've got another one called sex Work

610
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 3: coming up. I take it that's not for the kids,

611
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: and something called jacket a little pill. Also Jesus Christ Superstar.

612
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 3: So look, can we all just establish the fact, and

613
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: we're going to paint with a broad brush here that

614
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 3: these theaters are as liberal as the day is long.

615
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: Can we all just agree on that? But let me

616
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: tell you something, Playoffs on this Square may actually top

617
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: the cake. They've got a statement on their website. We

618
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: believe strongly in diversity, equity, inclusion, and change. That is

619
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: not surprising. They said, we will continue to make every

620
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: effort to strategically and purposefully increase the number of black,

621
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 3: Indigenous and people of color on our board and our staff,

622
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 3: on our stages and leading our classrooms. We will invigorate

623
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: our commitment to partner with historically black colleges and LATEENX

624
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 3: majority university theater departments to foster stronger professional training, performance design,

625
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 3: and administrative opportunities. Again, nothing unusual, but here's my favorite

626
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 3: part of it. They also have a land acknowledgment. Playoffs

627
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 3: on the Square would like to acknowledge that we are

628
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 3: on traditional, ancestral and unseeded land of the Chickasaw, Choctaw,

629
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 3: and Quawpaw nations, on whose land we work, labor and create.

630
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: Let me just say this, and I'm glad they're acknowledging

631
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 3: all of this, so they're actually admitting that they built

632
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: their theater on stolen lands. It just seems to me,

633
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: if you're gonna put out this sort of a statement,

634
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 3: this is sort of an up yours, I'm not sure

635
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 3: the Indian people would take this as something that is

636
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: they mean it to be conciliatory. I don't think that's

637
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: how the Indian folks are taking it. And it just

638
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 3: seems to me they have an obligation just to give

639
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 3: it all back. No, I'm not saying tear down the theater.

640
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 3: I'm just give it all to the Indian people, right.

641
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you stole it from them. It's their land.

642
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 3: But that's not why they're in the news. I got

643
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 3: an email from several parents, and the parents are very

644
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 3: upset because they had a Christmas presentation of Christmas production

645
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 3: of The Wizard of Oz and it was promoted for children.

646
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,959
Speaker 3: When you read the descriptions, nowhere in the description would

647
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 3: you think this was like an adult version of the

648
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 3: Wizard of So Anyway, we had a mom and she

649
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: reached out. Several moms actually reached out and oh, by

650
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: the way, Dorothy's black again. That goes back to their

651
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: whole you know. You know, that's their philosophy, that's their

652
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 3: DEI stuff. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, that's what

653
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: all the theaters do these days. So anyway, apparently the

654
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 3: production of The Wizard of Oz included men wearing dresses.

655
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 3: They were in drag and the parent was really upset

656
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: because they weren't given any advanced notice and there was

657
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 3: a children's day at the theater and nobody was told

658
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: in advance. Oh yeah, they're going to be drag queens.

659
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: And so now you've got folks that are pretty upset

660
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 3: about all of this. Now we reached down to the

661
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 3: theater and well, they're they're not talking, and I'm sure

662
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: they don't think they did anything wrong at all. The

663
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: woman and said, I had no idea they would turn

664
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: a children's play into a vehicle for a drag show,

665
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 3: or we would have stayed home. There were multiple scenes

666
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 3: of men in dresses. This was not for comedic effect,

667
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: but clearly part of the worldview of the theater. She said,

668
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 3: there were large men with beards wearing red silk dresses.

669
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: Oh my, I can see where that would be problematic.

670
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 3: So anyway, here's my issue. I'm not surprised this happened.

671
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 3: And I think if you're going to the theater, I

672
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 3: think you have to actually bring this up and say, hey, look,

673
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: you know, are there going to be any things that

674
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 3: are inappropriate for kids? Otherwise you're going to have to

675
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: be explaining to your you know, five year old why

676
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 3: there were big, burly, hairy men wearing dresses prancing across

677
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 3: the stage on the yellow brick road. And that would

678
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: be an awkward conversation. So anyway, Wow, And again I

679
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 3: think I think that the theater would have no problem

680
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 3: putting drag queens in front of the children. As a

681
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 3: matter of fact, they probably thought this was a family

682
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: friendly production. But there you have it. No, I think no,

683
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: I think Dorothy was in fact a woman. I think

684
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, though I don't want to. I don't

685
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: want to commit hang tight hour or two of the

686
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 3: big show coming up. We'll be right back to everybody.

687
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

688
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch Samaritan to start.

689
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 3: And hello, ladies and gentlemen, it is your host Todd start.

690
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: It's the voice of truth and hope across this great nation.

691
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 3: Trust you're doing well, everybody. We have got a lot

692
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: going on. By the way, a good chunk of our

693
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: audience buried under snow right now. This huge winter storm

694
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 3: that's causing all sorts of I mean, we're hearing waves

695
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 3: as high as thirty feet on lake on the Great Lakes,

696
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: just really shocking stuff. What did they have a they

697
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: named the storm. You know, they used to not do

698
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: that back in the day, back when I was growing up,

699
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 3: back when many of us were youngsters. You had a

700
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 3: snowstorm and they called it a snowstorm. But now the

701
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 3: Weather Channel has been giving names to these storms. This

702
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: is winter Storm Ezra, which doesn't exactly pack the same

703
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: like you know, the hurricanes all get names, like you know,

704
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 3: Hurricane Maud or Hurricane Nadine, Hurricane I don't know, Arangelo,

705
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 3: but winter storm Ezra. And they're saying that this thing

706
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: is going to cause big, big problems as it moves

707
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 3: through the Midwest and up into the northeast. Winter storm

708
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 3: battering Minnesota right now, which is a big deal. All

709
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 3: sorts of flight delays and Wisconsin, the Dakotas. They're saying

710
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: winds up to fifty miles an hour. So anyway, you

711
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: guys stay warm in those parts. And last night we

712
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 3: had a big storm system moved through. It was the

713
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 3: same storm system moving through. We went from seventy five

714
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: degrees to twenty eight degrees very quickly. So it's a

715
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: mighty cold out there, all right. Our telephone number this

716
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 3: hour of the program nine oh one two six zero

717
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 3: five nine two six. Again, that's nine oh one two

718
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. Coming up, we're going

719
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: to be talking to our good buddy Steve Gill. He's

720
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 3: going to trump by the publisher of TriStar Daily dot com.

721
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 3: So look, big, big doings coming up in New York

722
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 3: City where Zoron Ma'amdami is about to be sworn in

723
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 3: as the first Muslim, the first Socialist to lead New

724
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 3: York City, and he's thrown his support behind a woman

725
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: who identifies herself as a Palestinian American. Her name is

726
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 3: a Beer Coass. She is a member of the Democratic

727
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: Socialist of America and she's running for a seat in

728
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 3: the New York State Assembly. Now what's interesting about this gal?

729
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 3: A beer recently condemned the fourth of July and Veterans Day,

730
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 3: two of our most beloved are most cherished holidays. She said.

731
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: Veterans Day and Independence Day represent the silencing and destruction

732
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: of the socialist movement. She also once described the events

733
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 3: that transpired on September eleventh, two thousand and one, as

734
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 3: something a couple of people did. That's how That's how

735
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: she described it. And so anyway, a Beer has the

736
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: full backing of New York City Mayor elect zoron Mamdami.

737
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 3: It's so bad even Democrats are going to this lady's crazy.

738
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 3: Robert Holden is a member of the City Council from

739
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: Queens and he condemned a Beer and accused her of

740
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: hating the American Dream. He also warned New Yorkers they

741
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: need to stop electing people who despise the country and

742
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: everything that the Red, white and Blue stands for. And

743
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 3: you can read more about this story over on my

744
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: website Todd Sterns dot com. Well, he's not wrong. I mean,

745
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 3: it sounds to me like this guy's a pretty moderate Democrat.

746
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 3: But this is where the Democrat Party is going right now.

747
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 3: It is it's a it's a big mess, A great

748
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: big mess nine oh one two six zero five nine

749
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 3: two six. President Trump has a spiritual advisor. Her name

750
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 3: is Paula White. You see her. She's got a TV

751
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 3: show on the was it Trinity Broadcasting Network, one of

752
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: the one of the Christian cable networks. And she said

753
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 3: something about President Trump. And I'm curious to hear your

754
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: thoughts on this cut number seven. Wherever I go, God rules.

755
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 11: When I walk on White House grounds, God walks on

756
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 11: White House grounds. I had every right and authority to

757
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 11: declare the White House has holy ground because I was

758
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 11: standing there, and where I stand is holy.

759
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 12: To say no to President Trump would be saying no

760
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 12: to God.

761
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 11: And therefore, and I want that we are in a

762
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 11: spiritual war right now. Let every demonic network that has

763
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 11: aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump,

764
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 11: let it be broken. Let it be torn down in

765
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 11: the name of Jesus. No't me to tell you what

766
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 11: my thoughts are, the thoughts of the King of kings,

767
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 11: the thoughts of.

768
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 8: The Lord of lords.

769
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm downloading Heaven.

770
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 11: Long about about sack got God.

771
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 3: I'm wow. I think she was speaking in tongues there

772
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: at the end, and I cannot interpret I'm a Baptist,

773
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 3: but let me just say this, the idea that she's

774
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 3: saying that to condemn Trump is to condemn God, daies

775
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: and gentlemen.

776
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 8: That is.

777
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 13: Wow.

778
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 3: That's not in the Bible that I read. But anyway,

779
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 3: this is the president spiritual advisor, Paula White is her name.

780
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 3: We've had her on the show at time er two.

781
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 3: She says wherever she goes is holy ground. Therefore the

782
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 3: White House is holy ground because she has an office

783
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: there in the in the building at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue.

784
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 3: So just curious, just curious to hear your thoughts on

785
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: that theology. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

786
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 3: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five

787
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 3: nine two six. Oh this story, I'm not surprised by this.

788
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 3: Walmart still had two more stores in Portland, Oregon. You know,

789
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 3: they shut down a lot of them because they just

790
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 3: there's too much crime. I mean, you can only you

791
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 3: can only survive for so long if people are going

792
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,479
Speaker 3: in and stealing all of your stuff, all of your merch,

793
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 3: and that's what's been going on. Anyway, Walmart now confirming

794
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 3: they're pulling the last two stores out of Portland, take

795
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: a listen.

796
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 12: Arial businesses that I spoke with here on Southeast eighty

797
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 12: second Avenue say that crime is dictating the future of

798
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 12: this neighborhood. And when business owners heard that Walmart was closing,

799
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 12: even though the company says for financial reasons, they interpreted

800
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 12: that as an increase in crime like shoplifting. It's a

801
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 12: neighborhood in Southeast Portland that business owner Daryl Hansen says

802
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 12: has seen better days.

803
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,760
Speaker 8: The whole eighty seconds changed, you know, in the last

804
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 8: twenty years, especially last ten years.

805
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 7: It's really gone down there in the five years ago.

806
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 7: Each year it keeps going down and down and down.

807
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 14: More crime, more garbage, more homeless people, more drugs, you know,

808
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 14: and there's no nobody wants to help.

809
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 12: Darryl has owned and worked out of his muffler shop

810
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 12: on Southeast eighty second Avenue near the Eastport Plaza for

811
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 12: nearly forty years. Hearing Walmart is pulling out of his

812
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 12: neighborhood a few blocks away isn't a shock to him.

813
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 7: The heritage community right here when they leave a lot

814
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 7: of people dependent on that.

815
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 12: Story, He blames Walmart's exit on the out of control

816
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 12: crime in the area. He says he's watched businesses, clothes,

817
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 12: and friends leave Southeast eighty second Avenue for similar reasons.

818
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends, I've had friends in

819
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: they went before, they said, now were they've left, you know,

820
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: And that's when Walmart they left.

821
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 12: The Eastport Plase that sits in the Lens neighborhood and

822
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 12: according to Portland Police crime data, between January twenty twenty

823
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 12: two and twenty twenty three, there were one hundred and

824
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 12: forty seven burglaries, six hundred and thirty four personal property thefts,

825
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 12: four hundred and twenty four car thefts, fifty three robberies,

826
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 12: and three stolen property offenses. Keep in mind, this is

827
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 12: just what's been reported to Portland police. Take a look

828
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 12: at this US post office on the north side of

829
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 12: the Eastport Plaza near the Walmart. Every window is broken

830
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 12: with plywood covering the damage, and neighbors say it's been

831
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 12: like this for weeks.

832
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 15: You're basically going through help, you know, and is hey,

833
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 15: we're going through a really sad times that we have

834
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 15: no support, no backup.

835
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 12: Portland City Commissioner rene A. Gonzalez represents the Lens neighborhood

836
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 12: of Portland. He sent Fox twelve, this statement saying, quote, well,

837
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 12: it's critical to support local small businesses. Big box retailers

838
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 12: offered an affordable option for working class families throughout the city,

839
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 12: including East Portland.

840
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 3: Wow, well there you go, and again it's the out

841
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 3: of control crime. And I will see this. I was

842
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: several years ago we were in Salem, or again. We

843
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 3: did an event with our great affiliate there kykn wonderful time.

844
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: But as we were driving around, I think I was

845
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 3: staying at a hotel in the downtown area and just

846
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 3: loved the downtown area, but it was very clear that

847
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 3: that area had been ravaged as well because of the crime,

848
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 3: a lot of it coming down from Portland. And it's

849
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 3: really heartbreaking because Salem is a lovely community of beautiful

850
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 3: people there. And I remember even for our event, we

851
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 3: had to have it under a pretty super secret, super

852
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 3: secret you know, we had to They didn't release the

853
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 3: the location, all of that stuff because they're afraid, you know,

854
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 3: that the leftist mob would show up and all that

855
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 3: kind of what not. I think we could have taken

856
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 3: care of ourselves, but it's really sad that people have to,

857
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 3: you know, they got to live like that, and it's

858
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 3: because of the people that get elected to office there,

859
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 3: you know they're pro criminal. It's really it's really unfortunate.

860
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

861
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 3: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

862
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 3: five nine two six. Before we go to break, I

863
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 3: want to bring up Tucker Carlson. A lot of people

864
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 3: are going, what in the world is wrong with Tucker

865
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 3: Carlson and Candae Owens. But what's going on with those two?

866
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: I mean, they've gone off the deep end. And so

867
00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: now Tucker is out there and he's saying that all

868
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 3: of you people that believe radical Islam is a threat

869
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 3: to the nation, that you people are off kilter, and

870
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 3: he feels sorry for you. He says that he feels

871
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 3: sorry for people who view radical Islam as a bigger

872
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 3: threat than only fans. It's a website. He was doing

873
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 3: an interview with The American Conservative and he was asked

874
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 3: about this Turning Point USA poll, and the polls showed

875
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: that most people in attendance at TPUSA believe radical Islam

876
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 3: is the biggest threat facing America. Now, Tucker responded by saying,

877
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 3: I don't this is the direct quote. I don't know

878
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: anyone in the United States in the last twenty four years,

879
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 3: who's been killed by radical Islam? Really?

880
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:50,839
Speaker 13: Is that right?

881
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 3: Because you know what's happened in the last twenty four years,

882
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 3: something called September eleventh, two thousand and one, thousands of

883
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 3: people killed by radical Islam on American soil. And by

884
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 3: the way, there have been at least a dozen attacks

885
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 3: jihad waged by Muslims on American sold Just a couple

886
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 3: of weeks ago, you had the two you had the

887
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 3: two National Guard soldiers in New York and I'm sorry,

888
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 3: in Washington, DC. You had the shootings by the Muslim

889
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 3: at the at a military recruiting center in where was that, Chattanooga.

890
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 3: There was another incident in Little Rock, Arkansas, Fort Hood.

891
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:37,879
Speaker 3: I mean, we can go on and on an oat

892
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,319
Speaker 3: So I'm not what is going on with Tucker Carlson. Now,

893
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,439
Speaker 3: Tucker said that he's buying a home in Katar. He's

894
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 3: been facing a lot of backlash from conservatives, and I'm

895
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,240
Speaker 3: just not getting this at all, with the this idea

896
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 3: that Islam is a peaceful religion. That's what Tucker Carlson

897
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 3: is saying. As a matter of fact, I want to

898
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 3: play I want to play some audio for you just

899
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 3: kind of give you an idea of let's see Tucker

900
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 3: Carlson from twenty seventeen to where we are with Tucker

901
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 3: now cut five.

902
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 16: So a lot of Americans are concerned about Sharia law, sure,

903
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 16: and they're concerned about polls that show a striking large

904
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 16: number of Muslims would like to see it supplant civil

905
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 16: law in the countries in which they live.

906
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 3: Shuria law is bad, Seth.

907
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 17: I don't know if you've heard that it's bad. It's

908
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 17: worse than what's happening in New York and Detroit.

909
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 4: It's just bad.

910
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 16: I don't know of a single Gulf country where it's

911
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 16: illegal to proselytize on behalf of another religion. I think

912
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 16: that in every Muslim majority country in the world, non

913
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 16: Muslims are treated have fewer rights.

914
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 17: And you can tell when you go to a place

915
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 17: like Abu Dhabi or Riad like oh Man.

916
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 16: I hope we don't ever wind up with a society

917
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 16: like this with a rape rate of zero, where you

918
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 16: leave your keys in your Lamborghini and don't ever worry

919
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 16: about it being stolen. So you often hear people say, well,

920
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 16: Sharia is intolerant, treated badly, Gays are treated bad. Women

921
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 16: have in the Quran fewer rights than men do.

922
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 17: I'm not Muslim. I'm not for Sharia law. On the

923
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 17: other hand, compared to what compared to Baltimore in England.

924
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 16: It's four out of ten British Muslims. In France, twenty

925
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 16: nine percent of French Muslims would like to see it

926
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 16: replace French law.

927
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 17: You know, if people want to get wasted, they do

928
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 17: it at home, you know what I mean? Yeah, oh boy,

929
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 17: I hope you don't wind up with that.

930
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 16: But I've seen a bunch of poles like this that

931
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 16: show that the attitudes of faithful Muslims are not Western

932
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 16: at all, and that they include a tolerance of violence

933
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 16: you don't find amongst a Presbyterians or Jews.

934
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 3: You know, shut up, Si Nah.

935
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 16: Meanwhile, a California imam is apologizing after he referred to

936
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 16: Jews as filth.

937
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 7: Oala, liberate the Alaksa Mosque from the filth of the Jews.

938
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 3: Oala. Count them one by one and annihilate them down

939
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: to the very last one. Do not spare any of them. Wow. Look,

940
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what's wrong with him. I don't know

941
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 3: if he's been paid off if the Arabs came in

942
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 3: and are just giving him a huge paycheck. But clearly

943
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 3: something is off. I mean, you heard a guy who

944
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 3: changes your value system, and again this is a deeply

945
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 3: held value system in just a few in just a

946
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 3: few years. I just something's not right here. All right,

947
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 3: We've got to take a break here, nine o one

948
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six. We'll be right back.

949
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the phones. John in Kentucky, Hey, John,

950
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 3: what's on your mind today?

951
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 18: Well, first of all, mister Stearns, I hope you had

952
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 18: a fantastic Christmas and a most successful upcoming new year. Well,

953
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 18: thank you for that and continued health. I've got a

954
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 18: question for you. You mentioned it a few minutes ago.

955
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 18: When all these people are complaining about their government and

956
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 18: the rise in crime rates and all this other stuff,

957
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 18: especially in blue states, even in red states like Texas,

958
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 18: like Richardson, Texas where they now have a Muslim government, it.

959
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 13: Is this not the fault.

960
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 18: And I'm sure some of these people aren't gonna like

961
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 18: what I'm saying, but I don't really care. Isn't this

962
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 18: the fault of the electorate. Aren't they the ones that

963
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,920
Speaker 18: were stupid enough and I mean this, stupid enough and

964
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 18: ignorant enough to put these people into power. They were

965
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 18: the ones directly, they're the ones. It is their fault,

966
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 18: one hundred percent. It is their ignorance for not going

967
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 18: beyond the beyond and listening to them instead of studying

968
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 18: the issues. And I got a joke for you before

969
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 18: I go and hang up and listen for your answers, Todd.

970
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 18: Did you hear Santa Claus had to send his elves

971
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 18: back to school when he got back to the North Pole.

972
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 3: I don't believe I did.

973
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 5: Yep, they had to go.

974
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 18: Back and learn the elf of bed. Let's three your answers, Todd,

975
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 18: God blessed, love you brother.

976
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: All right, all right, thank you there, John, very witty. Yes, Look,

977
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 3: here's you vote. You vote, and you you do your research,

978
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 3: and you get out there and you vote on election

979
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 3: day and you elect a democratic socialists. You get what

980
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 3: you vote for. And I don't think that the federal

981
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 3: government ought to be stepping in to intervene. I think

982
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 3: that you know, we don't need to be sending them

983
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: any money, any resources. And if the if New York

984
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 3: City fails, New York City fails and I'm going to

985
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 3: go a step further. I don't think any of us

986
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 3: should be forced to pay any more taxes until we

987
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 3: get a handle on all of this fraud that's happening

988
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 3: with the Somalis and all the other illegals. I mean,

989
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 3: we're looking at possibly possibly tens of billions of dollars

990
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 3: in fraud happening across the country. And that's really just

991
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 3: the tip of the iceberg. All right, got to take

992
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 3: up our thank here nine oh one two six zero

993
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. Well,

994
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 3: there's a lot of scuffle, but on the socials today

995
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 3: all over John Kella Perry, who is the head basketball

996
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 3: coach over at Arkansas. I want to bring into the

997
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 3: conversation our good buddy Steve Gill, who actually played basketball

998
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 3: at the University of Tennessee back in the day. Now

999
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 3: publisher of TriStar Daily dot Com. Steve, good to have

1000
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 3: you with us. Hope you had a good holiday.

1001
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 13: Ed and man basketball season is getting ready to hit

1002
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 13: full full rival. I love this time of year.

1003
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,120
Speaker 3: Well I do too. It's it's a lot of fun.

1004
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 3: And the coach Caliperry is really frustrated over the nil

1005
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 3: and he's come up with that idea, and I want

1006
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: us to listen to this. I'd love to get your

1007
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 3: thoughts on it. Cut number three plays.

1008
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 8: Oh, I say to you, if a kid transfers four times,

1009
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 8: is he going to graduate from that school? There's no

1010
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 8: way you can't graduate. So now you're going to be

1011
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 8: done playing without a college degree. You have no ties

1012
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 8: to the last school you went to where they feel

1013
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 8: that you're from Arkansas. You played here, we're here. You're

1014
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 8: going to have opportunity. That's done. You're offered fifty five

1015
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 8: thousand dollars in your first job, and you go, what

1016
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 8: fifty five thousand do I have.

1017
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 7: To show up? Are they going to you got?

1018
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 8: You got me an apartment? Right?

1019
00:59:58,680 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 13: Or a car?

1020
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 8: I mean they I'm worried about mental health, mental health.

1021
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 8: That look, I've been poor, and you know it's worse

1022
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 8: than being poor, coming across some money and then being

1023
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 8: poor again.

1024
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 7: That's the worst.

1025
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 8: That's probably why I am cheap because I'm not going

1026
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 8: back there. But so my thing is, and I've been

1027
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 8: pushing this, you can transfer once without penalty because you

1028
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 8: picked the wrong school. The coach lied to you. There

1029
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 8: was another player that came that you didn't know about

1030
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 8: one time, and after that you got to sit because

1031
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:48,200
Speaker 8: what do you think they're transferring for? Somebody helped me here?

1032
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 3: Why they say it that's it.

1033
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 8: It isn't because they're mad at this or that I

1034
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 8: can extort you and if you don't give it to me,

1035
01:00:56,800 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 8: I'm going over here. If we cure that, I've been

1036
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 8: seeing it for five years, no one listens to me.

1037
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 8: That my dog I call me runs the other way.

1038
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 8: My wife doesn't listen to me, No one listens. If

1039
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 8: we cured the transfer rule, seventy percent of our problems

1040
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 8: go away. We can deal with all the other stuff.

1041
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 3: So Steve, it sounds you know, everybody's saying his plan

1042
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 3: sounds like a good plan. What say you, Chuck Well,

1043
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 3: I really.

1044
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 13: Like coach Caliperry. I will say I think the mental

1045
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 13: health he's really concerned about is the mental health of

1046
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 13: coaches for being driven crazy by players who were leaving

1047
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:38,800
Speaker 13: willy nilly for the next highest hitter. So I think

1048
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 13: that's the mental healthy most concerned about. You know, when

1049
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 13: we had the old days where players couldn't get anything,

1050
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 13: You couldn't even work during the summer season because the

1051
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 13: NCAA destricted it If it was snowing or raining and

1052
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 13: the coach gave you a ride across campus, that was

1053
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 13: an NCAA violation. Somewhere between that and these young kids

1054
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 13: making millions of dollars, and then, as he points out,

1055
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 13: you know, the revolving door of constantly transferring is not

1056
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 13: good for the programs. It's it's better that the players

1057
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 13: are at least getting something. When when I was playing

1058
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 13: again back in the late seventies and we got like

1059
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 13: twenty five dollars a month laundry money, which you know,

1060
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 13: you go buy a couple of sandwiches for that. But

1061
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 13: now when these kids are getting like a million bucks,

1062
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 13: like he said, are they going to really want to

1063
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 13: show up for a job that pays fifty five grand

1064
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 13: as a as a college graduate or not college graduate

1065
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 13: as he pointed out, So I think his plan makes

1066
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 13: a lot of sense. The thing I would adjust is,

1067
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 13: you know, okay, you get one free transfer, you don't

1068
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 13: have to set out, but if the coach leaves, as

1069
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 13: we've seen this revolving door in football this season, if

1070
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 13: the coach you signed with and intended to play for leaves,

1071
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 13: you want to get a second by the Apple InVID. Yeah.

1072
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 3: I don't have a Yeah, I don't have a problem

1073
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 3: with that. I just see a lot of empty seats

1074
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 3: in these stadiums, and a lot of the stadiums are

1075
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 3: being renovated or re designed to actually draw down the

1076
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 3: current number of seats. That tells me that that at

1077
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 3: least college football is in a period of decline right now.

1078
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 3: And I do wonder if it's because of the nil

1079
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 3: and the fact that you just, you know, the fans

1080
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 3: have to have some sort of a buy in as well,

1081
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, getting behind a player for all four years

1082
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 3: or three years and watching them grow and develop and

1083
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 3: build that fan base.

1084
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 13: So you're not a fan of this week's mostly irrelevant bowls,

1085
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 13: you know that that's somehow the Joe's Auto Body Shop

1086
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:37,959
Speaker 13: in Cocoa Beach Bowl drawing, you know, the twenty fifth

1087
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 13: and twenty sixth team in America. You're not just sitting

1088
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 13: on the edge of your seat waiting to preslessly watch

1089
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 13: that game.

1090
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 3: Shut well, I was. I was all over the Pop

1091
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 3: Tart Bowl, but that was That's about it for me.

1092
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 12: You know.

1093
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 13: The crazy thing is that that these these you know,

1094
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 13: players that are opting out either they're getting ready to

1095
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 13: go into the transfer portal, or or they're deciding I'm

1096
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 13: going to focus my attention on the NFL and and

1097
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 13: my prospects there. I think, again, what you're seeing in

1098
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 13: these lower level bowl games, they don't matter. I mean again,

1099
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 13: you get a watch, to get some you know, a

1100
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 13: new Xbox or something if you're playing in some of

1101
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 13: these bases. The bowls are putting a little extra thousand

1102
01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 13: dollars or so into the player's pockets. But for the

1103
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 13: most part, except for those top bowl games where somebody's

1104
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 13: playing for a championship, there's not a lot there now

1105
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,560
Speaker 13: for the school. The fact that your players get another

1106
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 13: several weeks of practice and preparation, younger guys get some rotation,

1107
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 13: that's good. It's kind of like another spring practice, making

1108
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 13: the teams that are successful more successful. But I hate

1109
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 13: to see all these players opting out and not again

1110
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 13: having any loyalty to their school. But again, when the

1111
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 13: schools is not so much loyalty to them, it's a

1112
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 13: two way street.

1113
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is John Ziegler riding on Acts. Yesterday, North

1114
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 3: Texas won a bowl game, ending their best season ever. Today,

1115
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 3: the entire core of their team, including a star QB

1116
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,439
Speaker 3: who wasn't even recruited out of high school is now transferring,

1117
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 3: and no one seems to understand that eventually the second

1118
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: tier schools will just give up.

1119
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 13: Well, and I like the fact that again you've got

1120
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 13: kids coming out of high school that aren't being recruited

1121
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 13: by anybody that are either like Joey Agnivar at the

1122
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 13: University of Tennessee, Diego Pavia at Vanderbilt, they go to

1123
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 13: the junior college route to increase their skills, get some visibility,

1124
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 13: and then they're being able to kind of move up

1125
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,440
Speaker 13: the rank into the Power for Power five conferences and

1126
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 13: show their skills. I love the ability of these players

1127
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 13: who developed late, who get overlooked by the recruiters, to

1128
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 13: have a chance to really show their skills and maybe

1129
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 13: play into an NFL career. I mean, keep in mind,

1130
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 13: we were watching this weekend Rock Purty continuing to amaze people.

1131
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 13: This guy was the last guide drafted in the NFL Draft.

1132
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 13: Every single team in the NFL bypassed him repeatedly. And

1133
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 13: yet even at that level, when they have all the

1134
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 13: information and tapes and and and and data they need,

1135
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 13: they overlook this guy. So if they're overlooking it at

1136
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 13: the NFL. There are thousands of kids that are getting

1137
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 13: overlooked at the at the high school level. And I

1138
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 13: do like the n I L I do like the

1139
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 13: transfer capability of these kids to be able to upgrade

1140
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 13: their status.

1141
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 3: Steve gil the publisher of tri Star Daily dot Com,

1142
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:26,000
Speaker 3: joining us on our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line today. You know, Steve,

1143
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 3: we've been I don't know if you've been following the

1144
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 3: war of the conservative influencers. It's just so ugly and

1145
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 3: petty right now. But something something was said over the

1146
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 3: weekend that just really got me. And they're they're targeting

1147
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 3: Mark Levin, the great One, and I mean they're just

1148
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 3: trastioned this guy. People like Megan Kelly, Tucker, Carlson, you know,

1149
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:51,440
Speaker 3: all of that crowd, Jack Pasobiac and they were talking

1150
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 3: within the the insults, they were talking about how he is.

1151
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:58,959
Speaker 3: You know, his only job is to be a washed

1152
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 3: up radio host in a genre that nobody listens to anymore,

1153
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:06,080
Speaker 3: and that just for somebody will it rubbed me the

1154
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 3: wrong way because I guess it's because it's my industry.

1155
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 3: But I'm a radio host.

1156
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 13: We represent that fat God, we sure knew regret that.

1157
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 7: You know.

1158
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 3: Here, here's here's what gets me is that I believe

1159
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 3: radio is more relevant today than any other time in

1160
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,160
Speaker 3: our history. And I say that because these podcasts are

1161
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 3: a diamond dozen. Now everybody's got an opinion, you know,

1162
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 3: the audience has balkanized. And yet talk radio every single

1163
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 3: day people either tune in on either the local radio

1164
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 3: station or whatever, you know, they have an app or whatever.

1165
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 3: And I think our audiences are just as large and

1166
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 3: are just as influential.

1167
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I think that what gets lost in some

1168
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 13: of these podcasters, you know, whatever comments they're getting or

1169
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 13: or or views they're getting, you know, a bunch of

1170
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 13: those are just they're just computer generator. They aren't real

1171
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 13: people behind them, the people that call into your show

1172
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 13: and other talk shows across the country. And most people

1173
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 13: never will call in. I think only about ten percent

1174
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 13: of listeners ever call in. And yet the opportunity to engage,

1175
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 13: the opportunity to share your opinion and interact with the

1176
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 13: host is there with talk radio. That is not there

1177
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,759
Speaker 13: with these people hiding behind their keyboard making these anonymous comments,

1178
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,640
Speaker 13: if they are absolutely real and Todd, I think a

1179
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 13: lot of this infighting among the fote conservative influencers is

1180
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 13: all about creating controversy to click to draw views, rather

1181
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 13: than to actually move the policy agenda forward, just to

1182
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 13: move the debates forward in a positive way. I think

1183
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 13: it's all about I'm going to pick a fight with somebody,

1184
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 13: and the same way that in a schoolyard when we

1185
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 13: were kids, when you could still fight.

1186
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 4: And then make up and be best friends by.

1187
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 13: The next day. This is just about them trying to

1188
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 13: create a fight so people will gather around and watch it,

1189
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 13: you know, fight, fight, fight, and that's what we're seeing.

1190
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 13: It does not help the conservative cause and it certainly

1191
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,240
Speaker 13: doesn't help policy moving forward.

1192
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just I do wonder, you know, someone like

1193
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 3: a Megan And I don't want to take anything away

1194
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 3: from these people. They have very large platforms, but again

1195
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 3: they're podcasters. They're not taking calls from listeners, right, They're

1196
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 3: not engaging in their listeners the way that that a

1197
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 3: talk radio host would would do. And I'm just wondering

1198
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:32,759
Speaker 3: how influential people like Megan, Kelly and Tucker and Candice

1199
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 3: Owens and Jack Pasobiac actually are at the end of

1200
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 3: the day.

1201
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 13: Well, and you get again a lot of views you

1202
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 13: get a lot of click. But if if a good

1203
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,479
Speaker 13: looking woman takes off her clothes and doesn't only fans page,

1204
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 13: he's going to get a lot of views.

1205
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 4: Is not really.

1206
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 13: Promoting anything other than her making money, showing her underwear

1207
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 13: or more. And against some of these influencers, Yeah, they're

1208
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 13: getting a lot of clicks or getting a lot of views.

1209
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 13: But but is there much different in just doing an

1210
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 13: only fans paid for Dee's and click versus creating controversy

1211
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 13: for the sake of controversy.

1212
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 3: That's it's a good question. We're gonna have to watch

1213
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: this because again, there's there's just a lot of there's

1214
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 3: a lot of chaos right now in the conservative world.

1215
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 3: They're calling it a mag of civil war, and I

1216
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 3: think that actually may be a pretty appropriate way to

1217
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 3: describe it all. But some of these things like Tucker

1218
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,559
Speaker 3: Carlson changing his views on Islam, saying radical Islam has

1219
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 3: never been a threat to the United States, that's just

1220
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 3: stuff is just off the off the walls here.

1221
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 13: By the way, God, I'm making a promise into twenty

1232
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 3: I am curious do these do these folks influence you?

1233
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I mean the Meghan Kelly's and Tucker Carlson's. Do they

1234
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 3: influence how you vote and how you view politics. I'm

1235
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 3: curious to hear your thoughts on that. We'll be right back.

1236
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the phone lines, Daytona Beach, Florida.

1237
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 3: Gary on the line, High Gary, what's on your mind today?

1238
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 2: Just want to go back for a few minutes on

1239
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: what you were talking about with in Minnesota. And what

1240
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 2: we should realize is that the Democrats are trying to

1241
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 2: make this a COVID fraud issue. What took place there,

1242
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: A lot of it did open up and start up

1243
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 2: at the beginning of COVID. This has nothing to do

1244
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 2: with COVID now, this is outright fraud. Anything you can

1245
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 2: possibly organized it's all of the above. And I keep

1246
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 2: hearing about well during during COVID UH these funds and

1247
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: that it has nothing to do. And the other thing

1248
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 2: was that they haven't some young investigative reporters to have

1249
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 2: talked to legitimate Samaian run businesses and the people have

1250
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 2: said that they knew that a lot of these organizations

1251
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 2: were stealing and they were too afraid because they can't

1252
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 2: speak out against UH in that community, which is ninety

1253
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:39,760
Speaker 2: nine percent of SAMAI in a lot of the community there,

1254
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 2: they were afraid to speak out about it. And it

1255
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 2: was it was amazing that Jacob Tried.

1256
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:49,560
Speaker 4: The mayor of Minneapolis, was doing a ribbon.

1257
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 2: Cutting on a child learning center for a five or

1258
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 2: six million dollars learning center and the sign and back

1259
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,840
Speaker 2: of them they spelt the word learning wrong. I mean uh.

1260
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: It was on it was on Fox. It was It

1261
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 2: was absolutely hilarious that there's so many of these businesses,

1262
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 2: especially with the Medicaid if they had a Medicaid card

1263
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:12,879
Speaker 2: and they could bill people built through Medicaid and Medicare,

1264
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 2: they were it was rampant, and that they talked to

1265
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 2: one of Keith Allison says, well, we're going to try

1266
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 2: to seek restitution. Uh, there's no way. I'm so tired

1267
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 2: of hearing about sentence as being well, they got a

1268
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 2: light sentence and they have to pay back seven million dollars.

1269
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 2: That's not going to happen. The seventh being, the restitution

1270
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 2: thing is a is a complete farce. But I'm just

1271
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 2: glad that there's a lot of independent now reporters breaking

1272
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 2: some of the stories.

1273
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 6: Well.

1274
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, as a matter of fact, as you and I

1275
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 3: are chatting here, we understand Homeland Security ICE agents are

1276
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 3: conducting dozens of raids across Minneapolis and going into many

1277
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 3: of these Somali run businesses. So we'll we'll see what

1278
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 3: trans out of that. Look, we're not getting any of

1279
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 3: the money back, and I think Gary, it's really a

1280
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 3: matter of how much. I mean, are we really talking

1281
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 3: about nine billion dollars? Is it more than that? I mean,

1282
01:14:12,080 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 3: you know, Nick Shirley, the twenty three year old went

1283
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,679
Speaker 3: out there and allegedly found over one hundred million dollars

1284
01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 3: in fraud in just one day. And I know that

1285
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 3: people are just I would like to think that people

1286
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,799
Speaker 3: are enraged over this, especially folks that work their butts

1287
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 3: off for a living. You know, I pay a lot

1288
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 3: of taxes, Gary, and and the work I do, I

1289
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 3: put in a lot of work, usually sixty hour work weeks.

1290
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,360
Speaker 3: And that's a that's a lighter that's on the lighter

1291
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 3: side of things. And it really angers me that the

1292
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 3: money I make is going to fund all of these

1293
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 3: Somalians who are then sending this money back to their

1294
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 3: home country to sponsor a terrorist organization. And I would

1295
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 3: like to think that the blood of the average Americans

1296
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 3: is boiling when they hear this kind of news.

1297
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 4: You got it.

1298
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 2: Appreciate here, all right.

1299
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 3: Gary, thank you, appreciate appreciate you listening. But yeah, I

1300
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 3: mean this is this is nuts. I mean really, you know,

1301
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 3: we we take a look at at what's happening with

1302
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 3: our veterans and the lack of resources for our veterans

1303
01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 3: when they come home from war, when they come home

1304
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 3: from serving honorably, and there's you know, it takes them

1305
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 3: sometimes days to get medical help. And you're telling me

1306
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 3: that meanwhile, we're spending what nine billion dollars to take

1307
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 3: care of a bunch of what Somalians. No, no, no, no, no,

1308
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 3: I don't think so. By the way, Cash Mattel, the

1309
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 3: FBI director says, this is really just the tip of

1310
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:50,480
Speaker 3: the iceberg here. We've got a situation that's that's developing

1311
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:56,479
Speaker 3: in in Ohio, in Columbus, Ohio, involving the Somali community there.

1312
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,600
Speaker 3: So when you look nationwide, I suspect wherever there is

1313
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 3: a Somali population, you were going to see the same

1314
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 3: level of fraud and corruption. But I'm gonna tell you

1315
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 3: I feel about you folks out there working nine to five,

1316
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 3: many of you working outside in the elements. You're working

1317
01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 3: your butt off, and now you find out that a

1318
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 3: lot of your money is going to this fraud in Minnesota.

1319
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 3: It's just unacceptable. And they're gonna have to They're gonna

1320
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 3: have to do something. We don't need any more investigations.

1321
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 3: We need to see people being arrested. We need to

1322
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 3: see people being prosecuted. We need to see people being deported.

1323
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 3: All right, gotta take a break here, folks, Hang tight.

1324
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1325
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 3: This is the Todd Stern.

1326
01:16:45,200 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Show Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

1327
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:16,600
Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.

1328
01:17:16,840 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 4: That's there's American.

1329
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 14: Jud starts.

1330
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 3: Well, just a few moments ago at mar Alago, President Trump,

1331
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 3: who is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Att and Yahoo,

1332
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 3: announced that we had blown something up over in Venezuelas.

1333
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 3: Here's the deal. If you're running, if you're running drugs

1334
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 3: on a boat, you're gonna get blown up. And if

1335
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 3: you are if you're harvesting those drugs in the field,

1336
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 3: So wherever in Venezuela, you're gonna get blown up too.

1337
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 3: Over the weekend. And by the way, welcome to the

1338
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 3: Ton Sterns Radio program. Our three happy to have you

1339
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 3: with us. Over the weekend Christmas Day, President Trump blew

1340
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 3: up a bunch of Muslim terrorists and this is actually

1341
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 3: great news and sent them right to the Lake of Fire.

1342
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 3: All of this happening in Nigeria, which by the way,

1343
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 3: the United States, in cooperation with Nigeria, executed these airstrikes.

1344
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it was pretty dramatic over the Christmas holiday.

1345
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 3: And by the way, it was all deliberate that the

1346
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 3: President wanting to send a message that we're not going

1347
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 3: to tolerate Christians getting slaughtered in Nigeria. I want to

1348
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 3: go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line and say hello

1349
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: to a special guest, Brad Brandon, who is the CEO

1350
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 3: of Across Nigeria. Brad, good to have you with us today.

1351
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 9: Hey, God, good to be on with you.

1352
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 3: So want to get your reaction here to what happened.

1353
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 3: And first of all, you know, first of all, let's

1354
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 3: back up here. Let's talk about what exactly has been

1355
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 3: going on with Christians there in Nigeria.

1356
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:15,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, so for over ten years, there has been a

1357
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 9: targeted persecution against Christians, particularly in Northern Nigeria, which is

1358
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:25,679
Speaker 9: about ninety to ninety five percent Muslim, different than Southern

1359
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 9: Nigeria which is about just the opposite, about ninety percent Christian.

1360
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 9: But in Northern Nigeria, twelve of the Northern Nigeria states

1361
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 9: are controlled by Sharia law. As the conservative estimates say,

1362
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 9: about sixty thousand Christians have been killed since two thousand

1363
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,640
Speaker 9: and nine. Eighteen thousand churches have been destroyed. You've got

1364
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,799
Speaker 9: three point five million people in internally Displaced persons camps

1365
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 9: because their houses have been destroyed, their communities, villages have

1366
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:55,560
Speaker 9: been destroyed, so they're thrown into the IDP camps. The

1367
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 9: horrible conditions of the IDP camps, I should mention. So

1368
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,839
Speaker 9: really it's a genocide against Christians that have been happening

1369
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,919
Speaker 9: for well over ten years in Northern Nigeria.

1370
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 3: And I understand and correct me if I'm wrong here.

1371
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:11,240
Speaker 3: But in twenty twenty two, more Christians were killed in

1372
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 3: Nigeria than any other country in the world.

1373
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 13: Is that Is that right?

1374
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's true for twenty two, twenty three, twenty four,

1375
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 9: and it's looking that way for twenty five. In fact,

1376
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 9: last year, if you took all the Christians that were

1377
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 9: killed in the entire world, seventy percent of them were

1378
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 9: killed in Northern Nigeria. So it is the most dangerous

1379
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 9: place in the world to be a Christian.

1380
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 3: Why why are why are the Christians being targeted? And

1381
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 3: who is doing the killing?

1382
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 9: Well, most of the killing is happening from three groups.

1383
01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 9: One it's either ISIS which is IWA, the Islamic State

1384
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 9: of West Africa which is the Isis of West Africa,

1385
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,839
Speaker 9: or a group called Boko Haram. They're also an Islamic

1386
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:54,520
Speaker 9: terrorist group that has bent on jihad.

1387
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,240
Speaker 4: And then also there is involved in that with the.

1388
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 9: Fulani Muslims is another group. And most of the killing

1389
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 9: from the Fulani Muslims happen because of socioeconomic issues, but

1390
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 9: they're all related to extremist radical Islam that's taken over

1391
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 9: the entire region.

1392
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:15,320
Speaker 3: Do we know why. Is there a specific reason they're

1393
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:16,400
Speaker 3: killing the Christians.

1394
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:21,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, because they're trying to retain control of Northern Nigeria.

1395
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 9: So in order to retain control, they have to destabilize

1396
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 9: the entire area. The Nigerian government has in their own

1397
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 9: way sort of tried to bring stability to the region,

1398
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 9: but in order to retain control, the local governors, the

1399
01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:42,719
Speaker 9: local leaders, they're all Islamic. In order to retain control,

1400
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 9: they have to destabilize the area. So in order to

1401
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 9: do that, they have to drive Christians out. They make

1402
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,679
Speaker 9: Christian second class citizens, you know all of the things

1403
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:54,800
Speaker 9: that go along with that. But ultimately, at the end

1404
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 9: of the day, it's about keeping control of not only

1405
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 9: Northern Nigeria, Butigeria as a whole. Nigeria claims to be

1406
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 9: a Muslim Christian country, but their constitution mentions Islam and

1407
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 9: Sharia law about one hundred and twenty six times mentions

1408
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 9: Christianity's zero times. There's also a constitutional crisis that is

1409
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 9: going on in Nigeria as well, and I think.

1410
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 3: It's important to hear all of this and our listeners

1411
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 3: to hear all of this, because you have a number

1412
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 3: of conservative influencers. Now we're saying that Islam is not

1413
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 3: a threat to anybody and Muslims are not going out

1414
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 3: there and killing anybody. That is clearly not the case

1415
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 3: in Nigeria.

1416
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 9: No, it's not the case in Nigeria. And you can

1417
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:42,879
Speaker 9: see the increase, the rapid increase in persecution against Christians

1418
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,599
Speaker 9: and Jews at the hands of radical Islam all around

1419
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 9: the world. I mean, we're talking about Europe, We're talking

1420
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 9: about Africa, We're talking about all kinds of other parts

1421
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 9: of the world, and it's even creeping its way into

1422
01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 9: the United States here.

1423
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:01,040
Speaker 3: And that's the concerning part for me, because I do

1424
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 3: see all of this happening, and we have we have

1425
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 3: had open, open borders. Lord knows who has been allowed

1426
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,840
Speaker 3: into the country. But I think we need to be

1427
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:14,479
Speaker 3: concerned with the people that were deliberately led into the

1428
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 3: country under the guise of being refugees, who want to

1429
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 3: now destroy our way of life here in America.

1430
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly what's happening. I mean, look at look

1431
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 9: at Europe. It's the Canary. In the coal mine. You

1432
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 9: have cities, entire, entire neighborhoods of major cities in Europe

1433
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,479
Speaker 9: London and Berlin and other parts of Europe where they

1434
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 9: have no go zones. These are Islamic ruled parts of

1435
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:46,040
Speaker 9: the city where even first responders and police can't enter

1436
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 9: into these neighborhoods because they're controlled by Sharia law and

1437
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 9: dominated by Islam. Islam and Sharia law is never content

1438
01:23:56,760 --> 01:24:00,840
Speaker 9: to just assimilate to the culture. They come in and

1439
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 9: want to dominate. That's what Sharia law does. You can

1440
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,639
Speaker 9: look at the Arbitration Act in the UK. The Arbitration

1441
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 9: Act in the UK is calling for Sharia courts to

1442
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 9: be Sharia court rulings to use this precedent in their legal.

1443
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 5: System in the UK.

1444
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:21,960
Speaker 9: We see some of that happening even here in the

1445
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,479
Speaker 9: United States. Back in two thousand and nine, there was

1446
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 9: a superior court judge in New Jersey that consulted a

1447
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 9: couple's i mom. The wife was accusing the husband of abuse,

1448
01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 9: and so the judge consulted the couple's i mom And

1449
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 9: under Sharia law ruling, a woman's testimony is worth half

1450
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 9: of that of a man. So the judge ended up

1451
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 9: taking the Sharia ruling and applying it to his court,

1452
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:55,799
Speaker 9: denying the woman a protective order. Now that was ultimately

1453
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,880
Speaker 9: overturned by a higher court, but it just shows the

1454
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 9: volition of shar real law even creeping in here in

1455
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 9: the United States, not to assililate to the American culture

1456
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 9: or the American legal system, but to dominate it, to

1457
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:14,840
Speaker 9: really become the ruling part of wherever they go. And

1458
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 9: that's the volition of Sharia law.

1459
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 3: Brad Brandon joining us, he's the CEO of Across Nigeria.

1460
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,440
Speaker 3: I want you to tell our listeners what your organization

1461
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 3: is doing and what you guys exist for.

1462
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, our organization was founded about ten years ago really

1463
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 9: when the killing in Northern Nigeria started ramping up and

1464
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 9: becoming extremely serious. We go into Northern Nigeria. We operate

1465
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 9: in areas that are controlled by ICEWA, controlled by Boko

1466
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 9: ram and we bring aid to the Christians who are

1467
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,679
Speaker 9: being persecuted. We have a refugee facility where we house

1468
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 9: people whose lives are in danger, who are being hunted

1469
01:25:57,120 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 9: in Northern Nigeria. Under Sharia law, it is it is

1470
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 9: a crime to become a Christian. So if you're a

1471
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 9: Muslim or you're from a Muslim family and you become

1472
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 9: a Christian, that is a crime that is punishable by

1473
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 9: death under the blasphemy laws and Shuria law. So people's

1474
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:17,839
Speaker 9: lives are in danger, we bring them to our refugee facility,

1475
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 9: help them to restart their life, and then relocate them

1476
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 9: to a safer part of the country. We also bring

1477
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 9: aid to other small persecuted areas or communities throughout Northern Nigeria.

1478
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 9: So much persecution is going on and so much aid

1479
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 9: is needed. But that's the main thrust of our ministry

1480
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 9: is to bring aid to persecuted Christians in Northern Nigeria.

1481
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 3: Across Nigeria. Dot org is the website folks across Nigeria

1482
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 3: dot rg. You know, Bran, I'm so glad that you

1483
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 3: guys are bringing attention to what's happening over in Nigeria

1484
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 3: because I just don't want that to happen here. And

1485
01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:01,120
Speaker 3: I look at places where Islam has already taken over.

1486
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 3: I think Patterson, New Jersey. They're now calling Patterson the

1487
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 3: fourth holiest city in the world. The Islamist rule Patterson

1488
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 3: across you know, many cities in Minnesota and now Michigan.

1489
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 3: And one of the most troubling things there was a

1490
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 3: city council meeting and there was a Christian citizen and

1491
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 3: the mayor, who is Muslim, said, you know, I dream

1492
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 3: of the day that you're no longer welcome here. That

1493
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 3: troubles me here in America, that this is already beginning

1494
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 3: to happen.

1495
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, he was pro by the way he was in

1496
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 9: that city council meeting. He was protesting the renaming of

1497
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 9: a street. They wanted to rename a street after somebody

1498
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 9: who is connected with radical Islamic terrorism. He was protesting

1499
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 9: that and told that he has no place in that

1500
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 9: community anymore. But again that just shows the push of

1501
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 9: Sharia law and radical Islam. They want to dominate. They're

1502
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:59,560
Speaker 9: only satisfied when they can dominate. They don't want to assimilate.

1503
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 9: So something that's really interesting is you look at how

1504
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 9: the left and radical Islam they hold hands together, they're bedfellows,

1505
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,280
Speaker 9: and you think, what in the world do these two

1506
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 9: different groups have in common. I mean, you have the

1507
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 9: left in the United States here they're they're touting you know,

1508
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 9: gay rights, trans rights, all these things. Muslims don't believe that.

1509
01:28:20,439 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 9: Radical Muslims certainly don't believe that. But what they do

1510
01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 9: have in common is totalitarianism and the silencing of opposition.

1511
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 9: And in that they are partners because they both want

1512
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 9: to silence the opposition at all costs and they want

1513
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 9: to dominate. And that's what they have in common. And

1514
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,599
Speaker 9: for right now, they're partners together. You know, we'll see

1515
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 9: what happens in the end of that. But I think

1516
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,479
Speaker 9: a lot of people wonder what those two have in common.

1517
01:28:48,160 --> 01:28:52,040
Speaker 9: It is totalitarianism and dominance is what it is.

1518
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 3: All right, Well, brand we're gonna have to leave it there.

1519
01:28:54,600 --> 01:28:57,280
Speaker 3: We appreciate you coming on the show today, and folks

1520
01:28:57,320 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 3: that would encourage you to go and check out the

1521
01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 3: website for the organization Across Nigeria that's Across Nigeria dot org. Brandon,

1522
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 3: thank you, Hey, Thanks Dott.

1523
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 5: Good to be on with you.

1524
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 3: Wow, yikes. When you see the level of slaughter, I mean,

1525
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 3: it's a genocide against against Christians. They're in Nigeria. And

1526
01:29:25,479 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 3: if you listen to what Brad Brandon was saying, he's

1527
01:29:28,920 --> 01:29:33,840
Speaker 3: warning us that that could happen here one day if

1528
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 3: we are not careful. But it is We're living in

1529
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 3: some pretty precarious days, and we've got to be able

1530
01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:44,560
Speaker 3: to address these issues. And I'm glad that he just

1531
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:46,680
Speaker 3: came right out and called it for what it is,

1532
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 3: because the reason why these people are being slaughtered is

1533
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 3: because they're Christians. That's the reason why they're being slaughtered,

1534
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 3: and we just cannot allow that to happen. All right,

1535
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,640
Speaker 3: got to take a break here of folks. Nine to

01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:14,799
Speaker 3: for real people. I like the way Scott Besson actually

1554
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 3: described what's happening with the economy. He said, twenty twenty

1555
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 3: five was all about President Trump setting the table, putting

1556
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 3: all the pieces in place for what is expected to

1557
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 3: be an incredible economy as we move into the new year.

1558
01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 3: And once the tax cuts happen, once the big beautiful

1559
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 3: bill goes into a fact, it is really going to

1560
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 3: be remarkable what's going to happen in this country. And

1561
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:49,920
Speaker 3: the Democrats are terrified about that, absolutely terrified about that.

1562
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:53,840
Speaker 3: So we'll keep you updated. But things are going to

1563
01:31:53,880 --> 01:31:58,679
Speaker 3: look very, very good for the economy. By the way,

1564
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:02,760
Speaker 3: Marjorie tail Green making some headlines. She sat down with

1565
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:06,559
Speaker 3: the New York Times and again, my problem, my problem

1566
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 3: with these conservatives. Why are you sitting down with these

1567
01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 3: far left anti Trump publications, And that includes JD. Vance

1568
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:18,960
Speaker 3: back when, back before he became vice president. But MTG

1569
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:23,479
Speaker 3: is out there doing interviews, and she told The New

1570
01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:28,440
Speaker 3: York Times that President Trump's Christian faith is empty and performative.

1571
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 3: She said that President Trump does not have a sincere

1572
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:43,799
Speaker 3: Christian faith. She also claims that President Trump privately admitted

1573
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 3: he wanted to protect his friends from any Epstein revelations.

1574
01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 3: Another big issue MTG has with the President she blames

1575
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 3: him for training the Republican Party on toxic politics. Now

1576
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,720
Speaker 3: this is interesting because because I remember when MTG first

1577
01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 3: ran for office. We were one of the first people

1578
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 3: to put her on one of the first interviews and

1579
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong. But she was like standing

1580
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 3: up in a jeep or some sort of a military

1581
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 3: vehicle holding a giant weapon. She said. Our side has

1582
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 3: been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to

1583
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,800
Speaker 3: never admit when you're wrong. You just keep pummeling your

1584
01:33:23,920 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 3: enemies no matter what. And as a Christian, I don't

1585
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 3: believe in doing that. So now she's portraying herself. I

1586
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:34,680
Speaker 3: don't know his mother, Teresa, or somebody a kind of

1587
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 3: a female Billy Graham. She said. After Charlie died, I

1588
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 3: realized I'm part of this toxic culture. I really started

1589
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 3: looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ. Really,

1590
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 3: would Jesus sit down for an interview at the New

1591
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 3: York Times and spill the beans? Come on? She also

1592
01:33:55,960 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 3: said President Trump has a woman problem, pointing out how

1593
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 3: he treats several female reporter ats. She also said that

1594
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,519
Speaker 3: she feared being murdered after President Trump branded her a trader.

1595
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 3: So look, here's the deal, bottom line here, and this

1596
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 3: is really all you need to know about MTG. Oh,

1597
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 3: here we go. She also said Republican leaders try to

1598
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 3: put her back in her box and they were upset

1599
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 3: with her Trump attack appearances on the View and Real

1600
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 3: Time with Bill Maher. She said, all of a sudden,

1601
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:37,600
Speaker 3: I'm in places that you're not supposed to be. Here's

1602
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:40,720
Speaker 3: what you need to know about MTG. She's a Democrat,

1603
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 3: that's it. She's a lib, and I suspect she was

1604
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 3: always a liberal. But MTG is upset because she wanted

1605
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 3: to run for the Senate there in Georgia, and the

1606
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 3: White House showed her polling data that showed that would

1607
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 3: be a complete di saster. And this is the reason why,

1608
01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 3: because now we get to see MTG for who she

1609
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 3: really is. And when you when you read the interview

1610
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:10,640
Speaker 3: of the New York Times. That's the first thing that

1611
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 3: popped into my mind was, oh, she's a liberal. All right,

1612
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 3: Well that explains everything. All right, gotta take a break,

1613
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 3: and you Georgia folks, curious to hear your thoughts on this.

1614
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:24,080
Speaker 3: She's your gal. Nine oh one two six zero five

1615
01:35:24,240 --> 01:35:27,080
Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero

1616
01:35:27,240 --> 01:35:29,920
Speaker 3: five nine two six. This is the Todd Stark Show.

1617
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 3: Barbara in Georgia. Welcome to the show. What's on your mind?

1618
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:55,720
Speaker 19: Oh, how do some of the illegal nuss in Michigan

1619
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,880
Speaker 19: and other areas that are illegal, how is it legal

1620
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 19: for them to vote with not being legal American citizens?

1621
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,439
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's a great question, Barbara. I know they've

1622
01:36:09,680 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 3: they've done some research there in Michigan and they they

1623
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,559
Speaker 3: have confirmed that non citizens, they call them non They

1624
01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 3: may or may not be illegal, but they're non citizens,

1625
01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:24,280
Speaker 3: are are able to vote, and in some communities they're

1626
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 3: actually given the right to vote in non federal elections

1627
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 3: like for city council or for school board, things of

1628
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:32,080
Speaker 3: that nature.

1629
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:37,720
Speaker 19: Yeah, but you know, when we go to vote, no

1630
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 19: matter what position it is, whether it's federal or you know,

1631
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 19: like you said, it's a local state. We have to

1632
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 19: be legal, and we have to show proof that we're legal.

1633
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 19: There's just an unfairness with our laws. I think that

1634
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:58,640
Speaker 19: needs to be addressed.

1635
01:36:59,680 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 3: Well, everybody's traded the same, that's it's well, Barbara, what

1636
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 3: and what what really throws people for a loop is

1637
01:37:07,479 --> 01:37:11,640
Speaker 3: that in some places in the United States non citizens

1638
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:16,840
Speaker 3: are actually allowed to vote. Not everywhere, but a good

1639
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:20,840
Speaker 3: many places. It does remain illegal for them to vote

1640
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 3: in federal elections. And I think that's that's the problem

1641
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 3: a lot of folks really have here.

1642
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's just it's just calls it to escalate, and

1643
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 19: then by the time they do, they've done taken over.

1644
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:40,680
Speaker 3: Uh, exactly, exactly. Okay, all right, Barbara, I'm happy to

1645
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:43,599
Speaker 3: do it. Thank you for listening. Nine oh one two

1646
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six are a telephone number.

1647
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1648
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:54,800
Speaker 3: Want to play some audio. This is from a conversation

1649
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,960
Speaker 3: I had on Newsmax with Congressman Tim Burchett. You know,

1650
01:37:59,080 --> 01:38:01,479
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of a lot of people are

1651
01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 3: really frustrated at the lack of movement in Congress. But

1652
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,560
Speaker 3: I think most of that frustration is actually on the

1653
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,560
Speaker 3: Senate side. But let's take a listen to what Congressman

1654
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 3: Birchitt had to say. Good to have you with us.

1655
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:17,600
Speaker 3: So in my opening remarks, I pointed out that the

1656
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 3: GOP led Congress pass less than forty bills this year.

1657
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:26,479
Speaker 3: This is a modern low, historic low in Congress. Are

1658
01:38:26,520 --> 01:38:30,000
Speaker 3: you surprised to hear those numbers? And did I get

1659
01:38:30,040 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 3: anything wrong here?

1660
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 15: I actually think it's probably smaller. But you know, as

1661
01:38:36,160 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 15: you know, I'm from Tennessee as you are, Todd, and

1662
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:42,200
Speaker 15: we don't like more laws. I think we've got too

1663
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 15: many on the books. As it is, the only passed

1664
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 15: the big beautiful bill, and its strengthened our border. It

1665
01:38:48,560 --> 01:38:52,520
Speaker 15: made us more energy independent, and therefore it has increased

1666
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 15: our economic strength in the world. As you've seen the

1667
01:38:56,080 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 15: prices of fuel are dropping. I've never seen the liberal

1668
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,639
Speaker 15: media more biased when they say we need more laws.

1669
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 15: I don't think we need more restrictions. I think we

1670
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 15: need less. But therein we do need to follow up

1671
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 15: with a lot of President Trump's executive orders. Those are

1672
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 15: the kind of things that I think we'll be doing

1673
01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:18,599
Speaker 15: in the new year. As I had a closed door

1674
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 15: meetia with the Speaker before I left to come back

1675
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 15: to God's country here in Tennessee, and he and I

1676
01:39:24,479 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 15: both talked about the importance of finishing strong, and I

1677
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 15: believe he sees that as well. And you got to

1678
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:34,559
Speaker 15: realize too, everybody in Washington, d C. Sees themselves as

1679
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 15: the Speaker, So I think sometimes you've got to watch

1680
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 15: sometimes from within some folks that could be sniping at you.

1681
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:45,000
Speaker 15: So I'm pleased with what we're done. I think we

1682
01:39:45,120 --> 01:39:47,040
Speaker 15: needed to do more, but I think we're on the

1683
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 15: right track. And I think, as I've always said, it's

1684
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 15: not how you start, it's how you finish well.

1685
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:54,360
Speaker 3: The bigger dumpster fire is on the other side of

1686
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 3: the isle, Congressman You Polling finds congressional Democrats approval rating

1687
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 3: at the lowest level since two thousand and nine, just

1688
01:40:02,280 --> 01:40:07,880
Speaker 3: eighteen percent approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing.

1689
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:12,400
Speaker 3: That is certainly good news. As we're moving into the midterms.

1690
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,560
Speaker 3: What is it that the Republicans need to do to

1691
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 3: win at the ballot box.

1692
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:20,599
Speaker 15: I think we need to address President Trump's America. First

1693
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 15: agenda we have Congresses is one with we have three

1694
01:40:25,439 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 15: or four people in the majority. We're one flu season

1695
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 15: away from losing the majority. Reagan said it best. You know,

1696
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 15: we could lose everything in one generation. Todd, we can

1697
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 15: lose everything in one vote series. I mean, these people

1698
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 15: are serious Marxist when you have my friend AOC and

1699
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 15: all these others are the main spokespeople and are the

1700
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:50,840
Speaker 15: agenda drivers and the Democrat Party now Hakeem Jefferies just

1701
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 15: basically all he does is attack Republicans when they point

1702
01:40:54,360 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 15: out illegal things going on in Washington, DC. And that's

1703
01:40:58,600 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 15: where the Democrat Party is today. They don't know where

1704
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 15: they're going. They are a rudderless ship. And probably the

1705
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:07,559
Speaker 15: best friend the Democrat Party has is the Republican messaging,

1706
01:41:07,600 --> 01:41:10,680
Speaker 15: because we're pretty poor at that and explaining what we're

1707
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 15: doing and what we're trying to do.

1708
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,479
Speaker 3: All right. That just a bit of the interview I

1709
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:20,000
Speaker 3: did with Congressman Burchett brand New pulling out from Real

1710
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:24,040
Speaker 3: Clear Politics. This is their average of all the pulling

1711
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:28,799
Speaker 3: data out there Democrats. The unfavorable number for Democrats fifty

1712
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:32,879
Speaker 3: six point two percent. That is, that's just just brutal.

1713
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 3: And again when you analyze those numbers, people just are

1714
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:43,639
Speaker 3: not buying into this radical agenda. Meanwhile, you've got MTG

1715
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 3: out there, and by the way, new intel on MTG

1716
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:50,880
Speaker 3: saying that President Trump would stop at nothing to remain

1717
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 3: in office even after a second term ends, and that

1718
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 3: he will try to clean to power. MTG also predicting

1719
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:01,759
Speaker 3: President Trump will start a war to remain in power

1720
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:06,680
Speaker 3: past his second term. Where is she getting that? The

1721
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:10,559
Speaker 3: president has been a man of peace As a matter

1722
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 3: of fact, this president Ofhorr's war and wants to make

1723
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 3: sure that American young men and young women don't have

1724
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:21,360
Speaker 3: to go and fight a war. So I'm not sure

1725
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:24,400
Speaker 3: where she's getting all this. But MTG is literally spewing

1726
01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 3: left wing talking points right now. I mean, it's really remarkable.

1727
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 3: But I'm curious if and again I the breaking point,

1728
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 3: and I think there were multiple breaking points with her.

1729
01:42:37,160 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 3: She has been an agent of disruption that ever since

1730
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 3: the first day that she stepped foot into Congress. And

1731
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:47,439
Speaker 3: if you don't believe me, go ask Kevin McCarthy. But

1732
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:52,280
Speaker 3: now she wants to do in speaker by Johnson, and

1733
01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 3: I think she's just I think she's dealing with hurt feelings.

1734
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:58,560
Speaker 3: MTG wanted to be in leadership, she wanted to be

1735
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 3: a player, and she never could get a seat at

1736
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 3: the table. And a lot of it is because of

1737
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 3: her attitude and her behavior, which is off the charts.

1738
01:43:06,560 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 3: Crazy nine oh one two six zero five nine two

1739
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,880
Speaker 3: six are telephone umber, that's nine oh one two six

1740
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,760
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. I would not be surprised

1741
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 3: if she ended up switching political parties. I really don't

1742
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:25,679
Speaker 3: that there's no difference between what the Democrats are spewing

1743
01:43:25,720 --> 01:43:30,760
Speaker 3: and what MTG is viewing right now. That's unfortunate, but

1744
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:46,320
Speaker 3: that's the way it is. We'll be right back. Had

1745
01:43:46,320 --> 01:43:50,479
Speaker 3: a chance to talk to Troy Miller, who is president

1746
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 3: of National Religious Broadcasters. They have been all over the

1747
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,599
Speaker 3: story on the attacks of the Nigerians, among other issues.

1748
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:02,640
Speaker 3: We had a great conversation the other day. Let's take

1749
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,120
Speaker 3: a listen. Well, joining me now is the president and

1750
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:09,200
Speaker 3: CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters, Troy Miller. Troy, good

1751
01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 3: to have you with us this evening. Your reaction to

1752
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,680
Speaker 3: yesterday's air strikes, well, what a.

1753
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 14: Great Christmas present to those Christians in northern Nigeria. The

1754
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 14: President made a promise, He said, if the Nigerian government

1755
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,120
Speaker 14: couldn't get this under control, then the Americans were going.

1756
01:44:26,080 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 7: To step in, and he did so.

1757
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 14: I hope the message has been sent to isis there

1758
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 14: in the north that America won't stand by idly and

1759
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 14: watch you slaughter Christians in that country, Troy.

1760
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 3: Since two thousand and nine, we've run the numbers here,

1761
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 3: more than fifty thousand Christians have been murdered by Islamist

1762
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 3: extremists in Nigeria, seven thousand killed just this year, and

1763
01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 3: this crisis happening all across the globe. More than three

1764
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million Christians live in nations with high

1765
01:44:57,520 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 3: levels of persecution or scrimination. That's about one in seven

1766
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:07,720
Speaker 3: Christians across the world. And yet the mainstream media, the

1767
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 3: fake news, dismissing all of this. Let's watch this report

1768
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:11,439
Speaker 3: from ms now.

1769
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 20: The Nigerian government has insisted that Christians are not being

1770
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 20: disproportionately targeted by terrorists in Nigeria, and the data just

1771
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 20: doesn't back that up either. Trump has been repeating these claims,

1772
01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:30,760
Speaker 20: it appearingly to appease his far right Christian evangelical Christian base,

1773
01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:33,919
Speaker 20: who have long condemned the targeting of Christians in Nigeria.

1774
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 20: But having been in Nigeria and been in communities that

1775
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 20: are targeted by Vokoharam and by I Swap. I've seen

1776
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:44,880
Speaker 20: for myself that these communities are often Muslim, that there's

1777
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:47,919
Speaker 20: no discrimination between Christians and Muslims.

1778
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 3: Are you buying this nonsense here, Troy.

1779
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 14: No, the mainstream media is just a propaganda arm for

1780
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,600
Speaker 14: the left, and honestly, Todd, it's a propaganda arm for

1781
01:45:58,280 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 14: radical Islam.

1782
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,360
Speaker 7: You know, the Voice of the.

1783
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 14: Martyrs said in the recent report, the most dangerous belief

1784
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:08,679
Speaker 14: to hold around the world is the belief in Jesus

1785
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 14: Christ is to be a Christian, whether you're in Africa, Asia, India,

1786
01:46:14,120 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 14: South America, even in South Korea, which has put two

1787
01:46:18,479 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 14: pastors in jail recently for speaking up out of the Bible.

1788
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:24,479
Speaker 14: That it's the most dangerous and I can't believe the

1789
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 14: mainstream media. They just they refuse to even bring this

1790
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:33,680
Speaker 14: to anybody's attention. Over two hundred thousand people have been

1791
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:37,640
Speaker 14: driven from their homes around the world this year alone,

1792
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,439
Speaker 14: and half of those were in Nigeria.

1793
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,800
Speaker 3: And Troy, let's not forget what's happening right now across

1794
01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 3: Western Europe, where you had holiday festivities canceled in places

1795
01:46:47,400 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 3: like Paris. You've got Christmas under attack in the UK

1796
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:54,559
Speaker 3: and even here in the United States, Troy, we're starting

1797
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 3: to see those attacks coming from the Islamist.

1798
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 14: Yet a thousand arson events across Europe. One thousand churches

1799
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 14: have been burned across Europe. You won't find that mainstream

1800
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 14: media either. They just hide these facts.

1801
01:47:11,280 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 3: And you're right.

1802
01:47:11,880 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 14: Look, right now, we've had some attacks in the US,

1803
01:47:15,160 --> 01:47:16,920
Speaker 14: but we've had a lot of threats, and that's going

1804
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:20,719
Speaker 14: to get ratcheted up when these folks see the boldness

1805
01:47:20,760 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 14: that's going on around the world. So I want to

1806
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 14: thank the President for sending a clear message to those

1807
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:30,679
Speaker 14: ISIS and other as long as terrorists, to say, look,

1808
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:32,920
Speaker 14: the US isn't going to set back idly to do this.

1809
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 14: And look, we in the Christian community.

1810
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 3: Thank him for that, Troy. Before we let you go,

1811
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 3: we understand Benjamin at Yahoo, the Prime Minister of Israel

1812
01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 3: will be meeting with President Trump. How important is that

1813
01:47:45,600 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 3: relationship between the United States and Israel. I know there's

1814
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:52,439
Speaker 3: been a lot of scuttle but within the conservative world

1815
01:47:53,600 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 3: about being anti this rise of anti Semitism. How important

1816
01:47:58,200 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 3: is that relationship?

1817
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:02,320
Speaker 14: Extremely important? And you're right, there's been a rise of

1818
01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 14: not only anti Semitism, but also anti Zionism within the movement.

1819
01:48:07,080 --> 01:48:10,479
Speaker 14: We saw some of those speeches at the TPUSA and FEST,

1820
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:13,400
Speaker 14: So this is an important meeting. We get a lot

1821
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 14: of intelligence, we get a lot more back from Israel

1822
01:48:16,520 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 14: than we actually give them in military support. So it's

1823
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:22,720
Speaker 14: important for us to understand that and a supporting us

1824
01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,360
Speaker 14: understand that in Israel you can be a Christian, you

1825
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:29,400
Speaker 14: can you can live out your faith. You're not going

1826
01:48:29,439 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 14: to get persecuted. As matter of fact, I've been there

1827
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 14: four times this year. You could be in a Muslim

1828
01:48:35,040 --> 01:48:37,800
Speaker 14: and live out your faith in Israel. And so this

1829
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 14: is the most free country in the Middle.

1830
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,560
Speaker 3: East and we should support them all right Again, that

1831
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:48,600
Speaker 3: part of our conversation with Troy Miller from National Religious Broadcasters.

1832
01:48:48,960 --> 01:48:51,080
Speaker 3: I want to go back to Minneapolis for a moment

1833
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 3: just to kind of give you an example of the

1834
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:58,200
Speaker 3: sort of fraud that they are uncovering. Nine billion dollars

1835
01:48:58,920 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 3: worth of medicaid fraud in Minnesota, the largest in American history.

1836
01:49:06,439 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 3: According to one report, a restaurant called Safari, located in Minneapolis,

1837
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 3: seats thirty five people. That's all you can fit in there.

1838
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:20,040
Speaker 3: They claim to have served eighteen thousand meals a day

1839
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 3: to hungry children, and the federal government paid them for

1840
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:32,560
Speaker 3: every single meal. We now know that the children never existed,

1841
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:37,240
Speaker 3: the meals never existed, the money did, but it's gone now.

1842
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 6: This is just.

1843
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:49,200
Speaker 3: One example, just shocking, shocking stories of how your tax

1844
01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 3: dollars were simply squandered. By the way. This report coming

1845
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:00,880
Speaker 3: in from Fox News, nearly two hundred and twenty one

1846
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 3: thousand Americans have now applied to work at ICE. In

1847
01:50:06,200 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 3: spite of all the violence coming from the left, Americans

1848
01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 3: are willing to step up, put on the uniform and

1849
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:18,800
Speaker 3: deport the invaders. This is just terrific news. Well done,

1850
01:50:19,439 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 3: well done Homeland Security, and you got to love our borders.

1851
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 3: Are Tom Homan, I'm telling you he is fired up.

1852
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

1853
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 3: A blast from the past. Remember al Gore? Al Gore

1854
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 3: predicted many years ago that all of us would be

1855
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:40,920
Speaker 3: underwater right now because of global warming. Right, I want

1856
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:43,200
Speaker 3: to go back to the Year of Our Lord nineteen

1857
01:50:43,280 --> 01:50:47,720
Speaker 3: eighty two CBS News predicting that twenty five percent of

1858
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:50,120
Speaker 3: Florida would end up underwater. Take a listen.

1859
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:54,000
Speaker 21: Concerned about rising temperatures, on plattered earth heated up a

1860
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:57,520
Speaker 21: hearing here in Washington today. For years, scientists have theorized

1861
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,960
Speaker 21: about the dangers of the so called greenhouse effect, the

1862
01:51:01,040 --> 01:51:03,560
Speaker 21: warming of the Earth's atmosphere due to the burning of

1863
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 21: coal and oil, and in recent months, as David Colhane reports,

1864
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 21: research has uncovered facts to support that theory.

1865
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 22: Many scientists claim that the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere

1866
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 22: has been rising over the past one hundred years, that

1867
01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:21,280
Speaker 22: the great sheets of pack ice in Antarctica are melting

1868
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,480
Speaker 22: at a much more rapid rate than previously.

1869
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,160
Speaker 7: Finally, that the sea level has been rising with increasing

1870
01:51:28,280 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 7: swiftness over the past forty years.

1871
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:33,880
Speaker 22: If these scientists are correct, about twenty five percent of

1872
01:51:33,960 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 22: Florida would be flooded sometime in the next century.

1873
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 7: Along with low lying areas all over the world.

1874
01:51:39,840 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 22: Climate changes could produce widespread disruption of agriculture. The American

1875
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:46,519
Speaker 22: farm belt might be too dry and the wheat and

1876
01:51:46,640 --> 01:51:48,599
Speaker 22: corn crops would have to move to Canada.

1877
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:51,640
Speaker 7: Scientists blame the odorless, colorless.

1878
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:55,719
Speaker 22: Carbon dioxide gas for these potentially dangerous changes around the planet.

1879
01:51:56,200 --> 01:51:57,719
Speaker 7: It is the greenhouse effect.

1880
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:01,080
Speaker 22: The gas allows sunlight to filter down and warm the Earth,

1881
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:04,480
Speaker 22: but like the glass of a greenhouse, the carbon dioxide

1882
01:52:04,680 --> 01:52:07,719
Speaker 22: tends to trap heat so that it cannot rise into space.

1883
01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,320
Speaker 7: The scientists maintain.

1884
01:52:10,040 --> 01:52:12,600
Speaker 22: That the coal, oil, and gas we've been burning for

1885
01:52:12,680 --> 01:52:15,960
Speaker 22: one hundred years have produced more and more carbon dioxide

1886
01:52:16,240 --> 01:52:17,880
Speaker 22: and helped overheat the Earth.

1887
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 23: We are not doing the kind of research that we

1888
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 23: should be doing to determine whether or not these scientists

1889
01:52:26,080 --> 01:52:29,280
Speaker 23: who are so alarmed are correct in their assessment.

1890
01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:33,040
Speaker 7: This computer model simulates Arctic ice.

1891
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 22: Scientists are trying to predict the rate at which it

1892
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 22: will melt and how much it will make the oceans rise,

1893
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,360
Speaker 22: and what they find out will affect the lives and

1894
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 22: fortunes of millions of people, the very survival of cities

1895
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 22: like this one.

1896
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:52,000
Speaker 3: All right, I just have one question. Oh that was

1897
01:52:52,120 --> 01:52:55,559
Speaker 3: al Gore you heard in the interview there. Wah wah

1898
01:52:55,600 --> 01:53:00,200
Speaker 3: wah wah wah wah wah wah whaah, that's algar So

1899
01:53:00,320 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 3: I just have one question for the folks over at

1900
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:05,400
Speaker 3: CBS News. Maybe Barry Weis can put out a steam

1901
01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 3: in here. Has CBAS ever retracted that story? Have they

1902
01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:14,840
Speaker 3: ever apologized for publishing that story? And they weren't the

1903
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 3: only ones Back in the nineteen eighties, they were predicting

1904
01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 3: that all of us that Florida would no longer exist,

1905
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:24,040
Speaker 3: all of Florida would be underwater. How are you folks

1906
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 3: down in Okala doing? How are you folks in Fort

1907
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:33,560
Speaker 3: Myers doing today? You stay in dry? Is this unbelievable

1908
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 3: that the media gets away with this every single time?

1909
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:39,560
Speaker 3: But we're happy to call him out right here on

1910
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:42,280
