Next thing, the aliens they're going to 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: an outs the invasion. We have people that are not 32 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: Earthlings living among us. I know people really thought that. 33 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: And then you've got to remember disgraced Congressman Matt Gates. 34 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: Apparently Americans have been pro creating with the alien people. 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 3: So now we have what human hybrids out there? I 36 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: have a I just want to know who they are. 37 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: I have a I have a running list. Many of 38 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: them I believe to be in Hollywood, and one may 39 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: in fact be a senator from South Carolina who a 40 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 3: grown man who likes to wander around Disney World. Possibly. 41 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: So I'm just wondering who are those people who are 42 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: the who are the offspring of the alien the alien species. 43 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: So I don't think that's it. People, So I think 44 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: you can breathe easy. But I'm telling you, people are 45 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: really getting like riled up over this, and there's there's 46 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: a lot of anxiety out there about what they're President 47 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: is going to say tonight. We we know that it's 48 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: gonna be something about uh and around update reach down 49 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: to the White House and they're keeping they're keeping the 50 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: cards close to the vest on this, so, uh, what 51 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 3: was it? Alex Jones is saying that that Trump has 52 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: done that, he's he's not the guy he used to be. 53 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 3: We're gonna play this audio a little bit later. It's insane, 54 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 3: but it seems as though Mago World, you know, the 55 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: big influencers of Maga World, and and look, let's get real. 56 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: There are a lot of grifters that have jumped on to, 57 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: you know, the Maga agenda, and that's really not it. 58 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: And I want to if they have they don't believe 59 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: what you and I believe, even though they may profess to. 60 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: And I think that's ultimately what we're beginning to see. 61 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: The great I'm calling it the Great Unveiling because a 62 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: lot of these people, much like the the aliens who 63 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: use I don't know, human skin to disguise themselves. Allegedly, 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: that's exactly what these grifters had been doing for many, 65 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: many years, going all the way back to twenty sixteen. 66 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: And it's easy to forget that many of these people 67 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: hated Donald Trump. They despised Donald Trump. But you know what, 68 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: when Donald Trump won, all of a sudden, they threw 69 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 3: themselves at his feet. And the reason why is they 70 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: wanted access to power, They wanted access to the money, 71 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 3: they wanted access to the celebrity. And here are a 72 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: couple of warning signs about all of that. You know, 73 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: we had Franklin Graham on the show yesterday, and I 74 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: love Franklin Graham's he's a good man. I remember when 75 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: the word leaked out about my contract not being renewed 76 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: at Fox, there are two people that called me just 77 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: to see how I was doing. One of them was 78 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 3: Jerry Folwell Junior and the other was Franklin Graham. Right away, 79 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: those were the very first first calls I got, and 80 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 3: it surprised me, but there were there were, it was 81 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: no strings attached phone calls saying how can I help you? 82 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: What can I do? And of course we had already 83 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 3: had a plan in place. But man, that meant the 84 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: world to me, because that tells that told me those 85 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: guys were the real deal. You know, they never they 86 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 3: never mentioned in public that they had made a phone 87 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: call to me. And so when I when I saw 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: the post from President Trump about Franklin Graham and you know, 89 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 3: President Trump's out there and again I've had conversations with 90 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: the President about this particular matter, and I'm not going 91 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: to divulge it, but but the President shared a private 92 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: letter that Franklin had written to him about his the 93 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: state of his soul and where you know, this idea 94 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: that the President wasn't quite sure where he was going 95 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: to be spending eternity, and you know, Franklin Graham didn't know. 96 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: Is that a joke, mister President? Were you just being 97 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: you know, some good natured humor or are you serious 98 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: about that? And if you if you are having doubts? 99 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: And Franklin sort of laid it out in this letter 100 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: that President Trump shared. You know what I respect most 101 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: about that is that we never would have known that 102 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: that letter had been written had it not been for 103 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: President Trump sharing it, because Franklin Graham never mentioned it, 104 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: and he never would have because it was a private, 105 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: personal manner. Franklin Graham is the real deal. You know 106 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: who I have a problem with all of these preachers 107 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 3: and you know who, you know who I'm talking about. 108 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 3: And they just rushed to the White House, so you know, 109 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 3: they can, you know, publicly say that they counseled and 110 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: gave spiritual counsel to President Trump, and they held a 111 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: worship service in the Oval Office, and you know, they 112 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: spoke in tongues, you know, over President Trump and all 113 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: this kind And I'm not saying any of that is wrong. 114 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: I'm just really questioning their motives. That's what I'm doing, 115 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: because you know what, it's all about you, and it's 116 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: not about the President of the United States at that point. 117 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: Right by the way, look at all those folks that 118 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: are going down to mar A Lago, the business people 119 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: and the want to be business people, the grifters trying 120 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: to get intomorrow Lago. So there's a whole lot of 121 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: that happening. And I'm trying to get around to the 122 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: point here because we have so much ground to cover 123 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: tod But point number one, ladies and gentlemen, is that 124 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 3: Donald Trump is still the same man that he was 125 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: when he came down that Golden escalator to announce that 126 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: he was running for president the first time around. Donald 127 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: Trump is the same guy who back in the nineteen 128 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: seventies and eighties said that we need to go after Iran. 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: That is the same Donald Trump that we have in 130 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: office today. His views have not deviated one iota. So 131 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 3: all of these people, now the grifter crowd, the reason 132 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: why they're breaking from Donald Trump is they believe that 133 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: Trump is losing some sort of status in America and 134 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 3: so they're trying to both. They believe that they're not 135 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: going to be able to grift at the same levels anymore. 136 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: So that's why they're beginning to bolt, and they're beginning 137 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: to show their true colors. And it's really despicable. And 138 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: I have no problem talking about this because, just like 139 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: President Trump, our positions have never changed. And I truly 140 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 3: do believe that we must have a secure border, and 141 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: I also believe that every single illegal alien in this 142 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: country must go back to their home country and apply 143 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: to come to this nation the right way. That that 144 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: position has never changed and has never wavered period. When 145 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: President Trump, and he's at the Supreme Court this morning, 146 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: and the President is watching the arguments over birthright citizenship. 147 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 3: The fact of the matter is and our our us. 148 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,479 Speaker 3: The Solicitor General made an excellent point today when he said, ultimately, 149 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 3: do you realize that the under the interpretation of the 150 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 3: demark it's eight billion people in the world. Eight billion 151 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: people could book an airline flight and they could have 152 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 3: a baby on American soil and they would be an 153 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: American citizen. And that's got to stop. That's not what 154 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: our founding fathers intended. So we'll place on audio from 155 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court. There's some really riveting stuff going on there. 156 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: But again, going back to President Trump and what's happening 157 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: in Iran and the address tonight, and a lot of 158 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 3: people are freaked out about this. Well I knew it. MTG. 159 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: No boots on the ground, you know, folks, Can we 160 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: all just take a deep breath here. Donald Trump has 161 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: not gotten us into a forever war. And Donald Trump 162 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: is not a war hawk by any stretch of the imagination. 163 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 3: Donald Trump is looking out for what is best for America, period. 164 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 3: That's when he wakes up in the morning after two 165 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: hours of sleep, and he sits down for breakfast. The 166 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: most important question of the day him is is this 167 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 3: good for America? And the President made the determination that 168 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 3: a radioactive nuclear cloud, a mushroom cloud over Chicago or 169 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 3: Des Moines or Nashville would not be in the best 170 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 3: interest of the nation. So the President said, We're going 171 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: to put a stop to this. And that's what's happening 172 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: in Iran right now. 173 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: Now. 174 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: Do I believe Am I concerned about that? 175 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 5: Well? 176 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: Of course, who would not be concerned because we all 177 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: know what happened in afghanist and we all know what 178 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: happened in Iraq. But there's one big difference. The difference 179 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 3: is that Donald J. Trump is in the Oval office 180 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: right now, and Donald Trump has made the determination. He's 181 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: done the calculations, and he's determined that this is what 182 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: needed to happen. And I'm willing to give the man 183 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: the benefit of the doubt. You said, well, what about 184 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: all the boots on the ground, the thousands of soldiers 185 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: and marines that are being prepositioned in the Middle East? 186 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: What about it? What about it? I'm I'm willing to 187 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 3: say this. I don't believe And look, I may be 188 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: wrong about this, but I don't believe we're gonna see 189 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 3: boots on the ground. But the Iranians don't know that. 190 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: Nobody knows what Trump is going to do right now, 191 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: and that is the strategy. That's the whole point. I mean, 192 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 3: you had previous presidents who got out there and literally said, 193 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 3: all right, Rod, if you don't do this by this date, 194 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: we're gonna do X, Y and Z and they we're 195 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 3: gonna leave. 196 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 5: No. 197 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: Well, that is such a losing strategy. So now you 198 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: have everybody in the world on edge, and you know 199 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: why they're on edge because they don't know what Donald 200 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: Trump's gonna do. And that's the exact kind of leader 201 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: we need in the White House right now. And all 202 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 3: of these grifters, all of these folks like Marjorie Taylor 203 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 3: Green and Tucker Carlson and Megan Kelly and Candace Owens 204 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: and Alex Jones, everybody out there, Ah, he's gonna get 205 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 3: We're gonna lose thousands of our fighting men and women. No, well, 206 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: I don't think we all are, because ultimately Donald Trump 207 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: wants Iran and all the rest of the world to 208 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: see that we are willing to do what needs to 209 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 3: be done. No, matter the cost. We can't do that 210 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: if our fighting men and women are still on military 211 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 3: basis in the United States, we are. We are demonstrating 212 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 3: a massive, a massive show of force, not only to 213 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: Iran but to the rest of the world that we 214 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 3: will protect American interest no matter what. And I love 215 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 3: the President for that. So, you know, maybe instead of 216 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: all these people panicking on social media, maybe they should 217 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: just step back and we get it. We've heard your opinions. 218 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 3: Just step back and watch what President Trump does. Nine 219 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six is 220 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero 221 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: five nine two six. I mean, the polling data has 222 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 3: not changed at all, Ladies and gentlemen. An overwhelming number 223 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 3: of Americans support what the President is doing here. And 224 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 3: I think one of the reasons why the younger people 225 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: and I'm talking about millennials and gen zers, why they 226 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: are not on board, is because they simply have not 227 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 3: been taught the history. They are not paying attention to 228 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: what Iran has done to this nation. So look, we're 229 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 3: gonna get into all of that. We're going to be 230 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: taking your calls. If you agree or disagree, give me 231 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: a holler. Nine oh one two six zero five nine 232 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: two six.

He's starting to lose it mentally. 254 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what Alex Jones is saying. Folks, take 255 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 3: a deep, deep breath. We want the rest of the 256 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: world to think President Trump is crazy because with that 257 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: we take the upper hands. We want people wondering what 258 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 3: this guy is going to do next. But ladies and gentlemen, 259 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: Donald Trump has delivered on every single thing that he 260 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 3: is promised to us. He has not done anything that 261 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 3: is remotely problematic in my estimation. Now, if we put 262 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: boots on the ground in Iran, well I'm going to 263 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 3: have a conversation about that if and when that happens. 264 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: But again, right now, the Iranians, all they need to 265 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: know is they're getting their butts blown to smithereens.

You think they're really sleeping well these days, 269 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: not even with the Mapello the Iranian version. All right, 270 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 3: let's go to the phone lines here, nine oh one 271 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 3: two six to zero six Steve and Little Rock, Arkansas.

And now that somebody is finally trying to 281 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 6: do something about that and give some stability in that 282 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 6: part of the world when it comes oil, which is 283 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 6: me that's just as important as air and water to 284 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 6: our civilization.

I'm getting 296 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: sick and tired of these grifters out there, the Tucker 297 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: Carlson and Alex Jones, all of that crowd. They sound 298 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: they are spewing the same talking points that are coming 299 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: from MSNBC and CNN right now. 300 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 6: It don't making a chance to be I don't think 301 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 6: it makes sense. 302 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 8: It's for money. 303 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 6: That's the only thing that makes any logical scene. 304 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 3: Steve appreciate the call, and it's look, it's a valid 305 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: point you raise. But again, ladies and gentlemen, who side 306 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: are you one here? Do you support the United States 307 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 3: of America and our commander in chief or are you 308 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: with the Iranians. By the way, President Trump already hinting 309 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: that he may pull out of NATO, and the reason 310 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 3: why is none not a single NATO nations offering to 311 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 3: contribute any money to the cause. Then you've got a 312 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 3: number of NATO nations that are refusing to allow our 313 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 3: military to use their bases their runways as staging areas 314 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 3: for our operation in Iran. Right now, you know, at 315 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 3: that point, I don't blame the president one bit NATO 316 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 3: comes as screaming every time Russia decides to invade a 317 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 3: country and we have to come running to their defense. Well, 318 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 3: what's the point, ladies and gentlemen. The only time the 319 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: European nations need us is when somebody invades their country. 320 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: I say, you know what, folks, You're on your own. 321 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 3: That's it. No more money from us, no more support 322 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 3: from us. You're run your own. You had a chance 323 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 3: and you blew it. So I don't blame the President 324 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 3: one bit for what he's about to do with NATO. 325 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: And I'm telling you all of those Europeans they better 326 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 3: be trembling in their boots. All right, coming up, I 327 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: really don't want to do this, but we got to 328 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: talk about We got to talk about Christy Nooms's husband. 329 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 3: Who would have thought he was the bigger boob in 330 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: the relationship.

You know, 338 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: we've been talking, pardon me, a lot about fraud across 339 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 3: the nation. We've been focusing on Minneapolis and the just 340 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 3: the millions, millions of dollars in in fraudulent spending, the grift, 341 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: the waste, the abuse. But it's not just Minneapolis. As 342 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 3: a matter of fact, earlier today in the state of Tennessee, 343 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 3: they released a partial audit of the state's largest school 344 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 3: district that would be in Memphis and Shelby County, and 345 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 3: they say it is the worst example of fraud and 346 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: abuse and wasteful spending they have ever ever seen. One 347 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 3: of the people spearheading all of this joins us on 348 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 3: our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. He has also spearheaded the 349 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 3: effort that led to President Trump sitting in the National Guard. 350 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: He is a senator, State Senator Brent Taylor, and he 351 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 3: joins us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line today. Senator, 352 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 3: good to have you with us, and wow, what a 353 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: what a shock today. Tell us about some of the 354 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: what what you guys have discovered so far. 355 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: Well, it's good, great to be with you, Todd. Thank 356 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 5: you for allowing me to come on and talk about 357 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 5: this this issue, because you're right, this is I believe, 358 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 5: on the scale of the Minnesota type fraud and what 359 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 5: this audit and this is a forensic artist, so this 360 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 5: is different than just a run of the newle financial audit. 361 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 5: They're they're doing a deep dive. They've uncovered a lot 362 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 5: of things. Just to give you a good example, this 363 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 5: shows that that the Memphis Ulbican School District, they bought 364 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 5: a building for six million dollars and spent thirty three 365 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: million dollars renovating it, and then they sold the building 366 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 5: for five million dollars or a million dollars less than 367 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 5: they paid for it. And then they sold it to 368 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 5: a group called New Day Tennessee I believe is the name, 369 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 5: and it is headed by a former school board member. 370 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 5: And the building they bought the building with they were 371 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 5: the only bidd and so that's an example. It also 372 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 5: gets into them, Oh. 373 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 3: I think we lost the senator there. Sorry about that, folks, 374 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: but it is shocking, shocking the amount of fraud. And 375 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: get this, the worst part about all of this is 376 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: not the entire school board made up of Democrats, not 377 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: a single Republican on the school board at all. You 378 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 3: also have this little nugget that seventy percent, seventy percent 379 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 3: of the children and Memphis schools cannot read at at 380 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: grade level. They simply cannot read at grade level. It's unacceptable. 381 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 3: And by the way, when you talk about what is 382 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 3: broken in many of our major American cities, that's a 383 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 3: common denominator, every single one of them. Take a look 384 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 3: at the top two issues, crime and education, and every 385 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 3: single major American city that is controlled by Democrats. This 386 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 3: is what we get. I think we've got the senator 387 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 3: back with us. Senator, this is just shockings. He're telling 388 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: me that they bought this building it was worth what 389 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: so what thirty sei million dollars and then they sold 390 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: it to a nonprofit run by a former school board 391 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: member for what pennies on the dollar? 392 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 5: That's right, the building. They bought it for five million, 393 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, bought it for six million, made thirty three 394 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: million dollars in improvements, and then sold it for five 395 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 5: million dollars. And another example is the operations. There are 396 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 5: no internal controls. They basically have a computer program or 397 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: computer system that they manage all their contracts, and as 398 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 5: people came and went from the school district, they never 399 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 5: removed them from access to the computer. So technically a 400 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 5: former employee could have set up a fake company, sent 401 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 5: in a contract, then sent in invoices and paid the invoice, 402 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: all from outside the district. And we don't know that 403 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 5: that happened. But there are a lot of shady things 404 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 5: going on with this school district. And the thing that 405 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 5: this audit revealed is that the memphiship became school district. 406 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 5: There is organized as a five dollars bin at Walmart, 407 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 5: and we have to get control of it. 408 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 3: Oh, that's not very well organized, a senator. No, I've 409 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: seen those bins, you know. I think it's just shocking 410 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 3: for a lot of people to realize that there has 411 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: been an, i think, an intentional dumbing down of our 412 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 3: society through the education system. And when you've got a 413 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 3: situation where seventy percent of the kids are not reading 414 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 3: at grade level, what do you make of that? 415 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 5: But that's what's that's the reason we're doing this. I mean, 416 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 5: Memphis has had a lot of things going wrong for 417 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 5: a long time, and crime was ramped at our education system, 418 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 5: only a quarter of the kids that graduated or reading 419 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: at proficiency. And it took President Trump. And by the way, 420 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 5: you paid a huge role in getting the President to 421 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 5: send the Memphis State Task Force to Memphis. It was 422 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 5: from a radio interview that you had a conversation with 423 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 5: the President first planted that seed in his mind, and 424 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 5: it was Senator Marshall Blackburn who ran with it and 425 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 5: ultimately got the President send the Memphis Say Task Force 426 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 5: to Memphis, and they have cut crime in half. The 427 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 5: other thing that's been holding Memphis back has been our 428 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 5: education system. And what we're going to do at the 429 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 5: state level is really a Memphis Education Task Force where 430 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 5: we're going to take over the school district. We're going 431 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 5: to put in people who know how to manage large 432 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 5: organizations to get this thing turned around. And if we 433 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 5: saw crime and education, Memphis could be the next Southern 434 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 5: It's city. Much like Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nashville. Memphis 435 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 5: could be that next city. 436 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. We have a lot of listeners 437 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: in Houston, Texas, and my understanding is the same thing 438 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 3: happened there where there was a takeover of the public 439 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 3: school system. 440 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 5: There, and we're actually using the Houston model as the 441 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,120 Speaker 5: Houston Independent School District. We're using their model here in Memphis, 442 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 5: and we have the superintendent there and Houston has been 443 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 5: to Nashville and met with lawmakers. We are borrowing all 444 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 5: the things that they did in Houston. The one thing 445 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 5: that the Houston district said that they wish they had 446 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,959 Speaker 5: done differently is what we're doing. They should have started 447 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 5: with a forensic audit of the school district, and they 448 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 5: think it would have helped avoid a lot of the 449 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 5: lawsuits that resulted in that takeover. But they had done 450 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: a phenomenal job, and we helped to replicate that in Monphis. 451 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 3: Well, well, I know, I'd love to hear from some 452 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 3: of our Houston listeners to know how that's worked out, 453 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: you know, because again, what we've seen happen in the 454 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 3: Memphis area. You've had a lot of moms and dads 455 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 3: and many of them have been voting Democrat, and all 456 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 3: of a sudden, they're waking up and they're realizing that 457 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party has failed them, and the people they 458 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 3: put on that school board have failed them as well. 459 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 5: They have failed them miserably, and matter of fact, the 460 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 5: clown cartel that is in charge of the Metishovychanic schools system. 461 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 5: If they had led the Israelites out of Egypt instead 462 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 5: of Moses, they would have ended up in a cornfield 463 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 5: in Indiana somewhere. 464 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: Wow. That's it's it's insane to think about, Senator. But again, 465 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 3: this is where we are, and you know it's not right, 466 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 3: and we've got we've got to make sure these kids 467 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 3: are learning and that the money is going where it's 468 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 3: supposed to be going. Now, I understand you. It's only 469 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 3: what twenty five percent of the audit is has has 470 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 3: been completed. So the level of how much I mean 471 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 3: dollar have you guys been able to put a dollar 472 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 3: amount so far just on that twenty five percent. 473 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 5: Yes, So they have identified one point one million dollars 474 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 5: that the auditors deem is waste and abuse. There's an 475 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 5: additional one point seven million dollars that's separate from the 476 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 5: one point one that is contracts that they have entered 477 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 5: into that were outside board policy. And I mean there 478 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 5: are a slew of ninety nine thousand dollars contracts, which 479 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 5: you know there's a reason there ninety nine thousand dollars 480 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 5: they're trying to escape having to go out to bid, 481 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 5: and so they're only twenty five percent of the way through. 482 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 5: There is a lot of waste and abuse in this 483 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 5: matter of fact. I had dinner last night with our friend, 484 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 5: Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who is now the chairman 485 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 5: of the do Doze Commission Committee in Congress, and I 486 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 5: plan on sending him a copy of this audit, and 487 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 5: it's complete, because the Doose Committee needs to know what 488 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 5: federal dollars have been wasted by this group of NF 489 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 5: clown cartail to shrun the school system here. 490 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 3: Wow, all right, Senator, one final comment here. I know 491 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 3: you've been so tough on crime. We had the no 492 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: Kings protest over the weekend. Now we understand that the 493 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 3: Memphis Police Department has placed a number of officers on leave 494 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 3: because they simply enforced the law. You had a mob 495 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: that they were blocking roadways, which is illegal. Forty five 496 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 3: minutes the officers told them, you've got to move, and 497 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 3: they didn't move, and so finally they moved them for them. 498 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 3: And it looks as though City Hall not exactly standing 499 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: alongside the police officers here. 500 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 5: They're not. And I sent a letter to the Memphis 501 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 5: mayor yesterday which popped a phone call from him, and 502 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,479 Speaker 5: he indicated that that they are on paid leave and 503 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 5: that they will do the investigation. But I, you know, 504 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 5: shared with the mayor. I said, look, everything that's going 505 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 5: on with crime, we finally have things turned around and 506 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 5: hitded it in the right direction. And the police and 507 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 5: law enforcement have done that, and we have to stand 508 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 5: behind our law enforcement. And you cannot allow this group 509 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 5: of weathered, purple haired hippies waiving their signs no kings 510 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 5: and blocking roadways and preventing people from getting down the road. 511 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 5: Look that everyone has the First Amendment right to protest 512 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 5: and freedom of expression, but it does not give you 513 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 5: the right to break the law in doing that. And 514 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 5: so that's the police acted appropriately and they need to 515 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 5: be put back on the street. And more important, we 516 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 5: have to stand behind our law enforcement because we have 517 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 5: a recruitment problem in Memphis, and that does nothing to 518 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 5: help with recruitment. When they think the political leadership won't 519 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 5: be behind them when they have to make tough decisions. 520 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: Well, all right, we're gonna leave it there. Wow, what 521 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 3: an amazing day and really a breathtaking day for the city. 522 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 3: Of Memphis as we now understand, just we're getting a 523 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 3: glimpse of what because again, just twenty five percent when 524 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: it's all said and done, I mean you could be 525 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: looking at millions and millions more right, that's. 526 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 5: Correct, and you know we've reduced crime. We're now focused 527 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 5: on education, and these are the two things we have 528 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 5: to do to make Memphis matter. All right? 529 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 3: State Senator Brent Taylor from Nashville at the State Capitol. Senator, 530 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: thank you and folks. Again, it's a great example. Memphis 531 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 3: is a great example here. Everybody thought Memphis was a 532 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 3: lost cause. Donald Trump sent in the National Guard, created 533 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 3: the Memphis Save Task Force. In under six months, crime 534 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 3: down forty three percent. And now with the education situation, 535 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: your tax dollars were being squandered and abused in Memphis, 536 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: and the Republicans are all over this and they're going 537 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 3: to get it fixed. And if Memphis can, if we 538 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 3: can turnaround Memphis, this is a blueprint for every other 539 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 3: major American city controlled by the Democrats. I mean, it 540 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: really is that simple, all right. Nine oh one two 541 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six our number, that's nine 542 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six coming 543 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 3: up I've got a few things to say about this 544 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 3: Christie Nomes story that broke yesterday. It's a pretty wild folks, 545 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: just pretty wild. But it should not be surprising to anybody, 546 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 3: and I'll explain why coming up next. All right, So, look, 547 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 3: I know everybody is feigning surprise here that Christy Holmes's 548 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 3: husband was was a cross dresser who you know, preferred 549 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 3: big bosomed woman women. I mean, that's that's that was 550 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 3: the worst kept secret in Washington, d C. And President 551 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 3: I mean, look, the White House knew about it. My 552 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 3: biggest concern about all of that is that this posed 553 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,959 Speaker 3: a significant national security risk. And the reason why is 554 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 3: that Christinome could have been blackmailed over this, or anybody 555 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: else in you know, connected could have been blackmailed. Her 556 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: husband could have been blackmailed. We're dealing with very high 557 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 3: profile positions here, and I know it's funny. I'm getting 558 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 3: a lot of blowback from you guys on social media saying, tod, 559 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: this is nobody's business that there's nothing wrong with There's 560 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 3: nothing illegal with you know, wearing big bosomed you know, appendages, 561 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 3: there's nothing wrong with men wearing pink hot pants.

I understand why people 563 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 3: are saying that, but the reality of it, it's kind 564 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 3: of weird. Man, It's really kind of weird.

It 610 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 3: is really the most important time of the year for 611 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 3: Christians as we remember the sacrifice made and the prophecy fulfilled. 612 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 3: So Mark God, bless you, and thank you for calling in, 613 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 3: and certainly wish all of you great folks. They're a 614 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 3: very very happy Easter. So but yeah, so it's it 615 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 3: was really interesting. I was going through a lot of 616 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 3: the messages last night, and people are just really upset. 617 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: They're they're saying that we have no business talking about christ. 618 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 3: You know that we have no business talking about their 619 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 3: their personal life. But the reality is, when you're the 620 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,879 Speaker 3: secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, that is a 621 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 3: that is a very very important question. Gilbert writes in 622 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 3: tod How are you even asking that question? How do 623 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,359 Speaker 3: you miss it in a background check? Well, I think 624 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 3: it's a very clear to me the FBI was not 625 00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,479 Speaker 3: doing what they were supposed to be doing. Derek wighing in, well, 626 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 3: he had a nice rank though, huh. Nancy says, as 627 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 3: someone else pointed out, there are cross dressers in Congress. 628 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 3: So as Hillary Clinton would say, what difference does it make? 629 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 10: You know? 630 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Here's the problem. The Republicans have lost 631 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 3: their moral center, right, and the Republicans are in grave 632 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: danger of becoming just like the Democrats. So it's wrong 633 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 3: if their people do it, but it's okay if our 634 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,440 Speaker 3: people do it. That's not if you're going to go after. 635 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: If you're going to go after the Democrats or something, 636 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 3: you got to go after the Republicans are there. Well, yeah, 637 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 3: you got the Democrat the dude from Delaware, I guess 638 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 3: he would be, but he's a transgender dude, so that 639 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 3: takes it up a notch. So anyway, the ball Shanklind Symbias, 640 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,920 Speaker 3: I can't read this on the air, Shankland, she's a loop. 641 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 3: All right, Our two of the big show coming up, 642 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 3: Liz Pete, Congressman John Rowe, and your calls.

This is 649 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 3: going to be the first time in more than fifty 650 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 3: years that humans have traveled beyond low Earth orbit, and 651 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 3: they're going to loop around the Moon. They're gonna get 652 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 3: to see the far side of the Moon. Maybe we'll 653 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 3: finally understand where all the alien ships are located. I'm 654 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 3: just kidding. I'm just kidding. Anyway, all of this is 655 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,840 Speaker 3: happening a later time at the Kennedy Space Center, and 656 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,919 Speaker 3: we've got four astronauts on board. It's going they're gonna 657 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 3: be up there for about ten days. So this is 658 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 3: pretty darn exciting and we'll see how all of that 659 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 3: plays out. So remember I don't Dylan, this may have 660 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 3: been before your time. Any of you old timers out 661 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 3: there remember the Stomp Rocket. Any of you guys have 662 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 3: the Stomp rocket when you were a kid. So as 663 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: a way to celebrate Artemis two, the family owned brand 664 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 3: called Stomp Rocket. So it's a mom and pop business. 665 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 3: They have these kid powered rockets and toys and they're 666 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 3: doing a version just for Artemis two, which is pretty awesome. 667 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:58,320 Speaker 3: So these are rocket launching toys where you have the 668 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 3: rocket and you have this thing and you on it 669 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 3: and the harder you stomp, the higher up your rocket goes. 670 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 3: So and they've got them at Walmart and some of 671 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 3: the other toy stores around time, I think that's pretty cool, 672 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 3: not too bad. You know, they've stomped. The stomp rockets 673 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 3: have been around for what more than thirty years and 674 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 3: they're based in Minden, Nevada. I'm sure some of our 675 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 3: Nevada listeners know where Menden is and made by the 676 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 3: DNL company, so locally owned, family run company there. So 677 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 3: how about that stamp rocket, so you do want you know, 678 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,360 Speaker 3: it's interesting back in the day, even when I remember 679 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,439 Speaker 3: when if you go all the way back to when 680 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 3: the space shuttles were launched, and that's all anybody could 681 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 3: talk about. Everybody had the big NASA logo. It was 682 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 3: plastered on everything, your school books, your cars. Everybody was 683 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 3: all about you know, space and astronauts. And now it 684 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 3: just I guess after a while it became ho hum. 685 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 3: And even now I'm not seeing a lot of excitement 686 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,879 Speaker 3: or energy about the launch today. But I'm I'm really 687 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 3: fascinated by this and it will be our first voyage 688 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 3: towards the Moon in over fifty years. That's pretty awesome. 689 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 3: By the way, the rocket ship is as tall as 690 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 3: the Statue of Liberty. That is one big rocket. So 691 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 3: nine oh one two six to zero five nine two 692 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 3: six is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two 693 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,320 Speaker 3: six zero five nine two six. The Supreme Court hearing 694 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 3: arguments today over birthright citizenship. So the controversy comes from 695 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 3: the fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution that says that anybody 696 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,640 Speaker 3: born on American soil is automatically a citizen, regardless of 697 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 3: their parents' immigration status. Now there are a few exceptions 698 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 3: to that, for example, children of foreign born diplomats. So 699 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 3: President Trump is his argument is that the policy creates 700 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 3: incentives for illegal immigration and what they call birth tourism, 701 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 3: and that children of illegal aliens should not automatically receive 702 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,680 Speaker 3: US citizenship. And I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that. 703 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 3: So the Supreme Court talking about it today. Here is 704 00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,000 Speaker 3: Justice sam Alito, one of the good guys, and he 705 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 3: says that just because illegal aliens were not a problem 706 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 3: at the time of the fourteenth Amendment does not mean 707 00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,240 Speaker 3: that this should not be addressed today. 708 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 11: Take a listenations that they had in mind when they 709 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 11: adopted the general rule, or do we say they adopted 710 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 11: a general rule, They meant for that to apply to 711 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 11: later applications that might come up. Justice Scalia had an 712 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,800 Speaker 11: example that dealt with this situation. He imagined an old 713 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 11: theft statute that was it acted well before anybody conceived 714 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 11: of a microwave oven. And then afterwards someone is charged 715 00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 11: with the crime of stealing a microwave oven, and this 716 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 11: fellow says, well, I can't be convicted under this because 717 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 11: the microwave oven didn't exist at that time, and he 718 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 11: dismissed that. There's a general rule there, and you'll apply 719 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 11: it to future applications. And what we're dealing with here 720 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,919 Speaker 11: is something that was basically unknown at the time when 721 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 11: the fourteenth Amendment was adopted, which is illegal immigration. So 722 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 11: how did we deal with that situation when we have 723 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 11: a general rule? 724 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 12: Yeah, I strongly agree with the way that you framed it. 725 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 12: That there is a general principle, that's a broad principle 726 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 12: that's adopted the phrase under the jurisdiction thereof. And we 727 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 12: submit that our theory of allegiance and domicile based allegiance 728 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 12: what explains those specific exceptions that everybody was aware of, 729 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 12: but it is broad enough to sweep in future situations. 730 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 12: And as you point out, illegal immigration did not exist then. 731 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 12: Now the problem of temporary visitors did exist, and it's 732 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 12: very interesting that as you look at pages twenty six 733 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 12: and twenty eight of our commentators going from you know. 734 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 2: Eighteen eighty one until nineteen twenty. 735 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 12: Two are uniformly saying that children of temporary visitors are 736 00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,800 Speaker 12: not included. Now that logic, we say, it's a naturally 737 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 12: extens it's really an off force uri case. 738 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 2: If you are someone who enters illegally. 739 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,759 Speaker 12: By the eighteen eighties, there are restrictions on immigration if 740 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 12: you've entered illegally. It's kind of, you know, a well 741 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 12: established principle of law, going back to the Code of 742 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,439 Speaker 12: Justinian that says you're not allowed to be there, you cannot. 743 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 10: You don't have the legal capacity to create domicile. 744 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 3: Then all right there, Solicitor General is that sounds like 745 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 3: he's got a little chess cold. So anyway, this is 746 00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 3: this is going to ultimately be the designed by the 747 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 3: Supreme Court. And the issue is whether or not the 748 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 3: president could end outright end birthright citizenship or limit birthright 749 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 3: citizenship via the executive order. And again the president and 750 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 3: the point of this is the President says illegal aliens 751 00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 3: are abusing this, they're coming to America to have their baby. 752 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 3: He's on American soil. They have absolutely no allegiance to America. 753 00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 3: They just want all of our welfare. So I'm curious 754 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,799 Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts on this. Do you believe that 755 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 3: we should have limitations on birthright citizenship? Nine oh one 756 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 3: two six zero five nine two six is our number. 757 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,760 Speaker 3: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. 758 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 3: I want to go back to Alex Jones for just 759 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 3: a moment, and Alex Jones has now turned on the 760 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 3: president and he is Alex Jones is saying that he's 761 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 3: talking to people inside the administration that Trump is gone, 762 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,400 Speaker 3: He's really having some health problems. He said that Pete 763 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 3: Hegseth and Caroline Leavitt are freaked out, but they're being loyal. 764 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,760 Speaker 3: I don't know where he's getting any of this intel, 765 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 3: but he said that that Trump is aging quickly and 766 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,360 Speaker 3: is no longer up for the job. And he says 767 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,919 Speaker 3: that the Trump we all knew and loved is well 768 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 3: no longer there do we have. Let's take a listen 769 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 3: to that audio. 770 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 10: When your ankles swell up three times the size and 771 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 10: they were before, that means heart failure. And he does 772 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 10: look sick, and he does babble and you don't sound 773 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 10: like the brain's not doing too hot. And so we 774 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,759 Speaker 10: just cut bait on Trump, and we just mobilize against 775 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 10: the Democrats, and we mobilize against neocons. We primary them, 776 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,879 Speaker 10: and we just fight even harder because look at how 777 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 10: we've turned the tide. Look at all the good we've done. 778 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 10: There's a fourth turning. Populist nationalist conservatives are winning everywhere, 779 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,440 Speaker 10: there's a Christian reawakening. And Trump is just a minor 780 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:48,759 Speaker 10: figure in all of that now. And we have to 781 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,799 Speaker 10: be appreciative of the old Trump that went through so 782 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 10: much and got so much done. And that's what Trump 783 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 10: we remember, and we're just sad because that happens. We 784 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 10: need to be sad about Trump. This is not fun, 785 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 10: this is not good. But he's gone and that's it. 786 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 10: And all the people rallied around him. You can see 787 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 10: hegsas freaked out. You see the Presidenttory's freaked out. They're 788 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 10: being loyal. They think it's a lesser of two evils. 789 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 10: And I okay, but I just Trump needs an intervention. 790 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 10: He's to take some time off. We need to pray 791 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 10: for Trump, the Holy Spirit, touch his heart and loose 792 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,799 Speaker 10: him for whatever evil control he's under. I'm serious, and 793 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 10: I think that's the answer. We need to pray for 794 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 10: President Trump. We need to we need to pray for 795 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 10: other people to be awakened. We need to pray for 796 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 10: justice and peace. 797 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 3: All right. So I'm just curious, do you believe, as 798 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 3: Alex Jones just said, that President Trump is what possessed 799 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 3: perhaps by some sort of an evil spirit. Do you 800 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 3: believe that President Trump is not doing well, that his 801 00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 3: health has taken a turn. I'm I'm just not seeing that, yeah, 802 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,359 Speaker 3: and the conversations I've had with him. As a matter 803 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 3: of fact, I was with the President a couple of 804 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 3: weeks ago when he was in Memphis and got to 805 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,000 Speaker 3: spend a very very brief time. But he he put 806 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 3: out that hand and had a good, firm handshake. The 807 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,120 Speaker 3: President was in good spirits and he was cognizant to 808 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 3: He seemed to be just fine. To me. I'm not 809 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 3: seeing the kind of person that Alex Jones is describing here. 810 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 3: So are you are you seeing what Alex Jones is seeing? 811 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 3: And if not, what do you think Jones is up 812 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 3: to here? Why do you think that he is making 813 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 3: this turn against the President and it's I mean, you can't. 814 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 3: The guy did not mince any words by what he 815 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 3: just said. There nine oh one two six zero five 816 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 3: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero 817 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,520 Speaker 3: five to nine two six. I mean the president's taking 818 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,799 Speaker 3: questions he you know, he doesn't. He doesn't ask for 819 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,400 Speaker 3: the questions in advance from the press corps whenever they're around. Yesterday, 820 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 3: the President signing executive orders, and he was doing Q 821 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 3: and A off the cuff with reporters. He was giving 822 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: and taking, and I mean he seemed pretty cognizant to me. 823 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 3: But it does appear that the populist wing of the 824 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,520 Speaker 3: Republican Party is trying to make a break now, and 825 00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 3: maybe they're trying to set themselves up for twenty twenty 826 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 3: eight and putting out a candidate, whether that be JD. 827 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,240 Speaker 3: Vans or whoever. I think the Republican nominee in twenty 828 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 3: twenty eight is going to be Marco Rubio. But we'll 829 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 3: talk about that another day. Let's go to Charles in 830 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 3: North Carolina. Charles, what's on your mind today? Hey? 831 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 13: After day Ton so Ton, I listened to the entire 832 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 13: two hours of the of what was going on with 833 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 13: the Supreme Court today and I heard both sides, and 834 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,920 Speaker 13: I'm not a lawyer, but to me, Tyd, it just 835 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 13: seemed like they were really overthinking this. To me, it's 836 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 13: a very simple issue. You break it making this country illegally, 837 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,040 Speaker 13: you're subject to the jurisdiction of the country from which 838 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 13: she came, as are your children. And also the fourteenth Amendment, 839 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,560 Speaker 13: in my opinion, was very specific. It was ratified right 840 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 13: after the Civil War, and it dealt with slaves and 841 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 13: children of slaves to make them citizens because of the 842 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 13: dread Scott decision going back to the eighteen fifties, and 843 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:35,239 Speaker 13: also the three fist falls of the Constitution. But I 844 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 13: just to me, it just sounded like they were losing 845 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,279 Speaker 13: sight of that. And I didn't know if he had 846 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 13: a chance to listen to it. But did she get 847 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 13: a sense of where you think that justices are on this? 848 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 3: Well, I know where the rock solid conservatives are. I 849 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,919 Speaker 3: got the impression from Amy Cony Barrett that she may 850 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 3: be waffling on this, so I didn't get good read there. 851 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 3: And John Roberts, it was hard to understand what sign 852 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,359 Speaker 3: he was coming down on. I think the argument could 853 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 3: be made that he actually idle know supports the change 854 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,440 Speaker 3: or cracking down, but I'm not sure what are you 855 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 3: getting at. 856 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 13: Well, so, you know, they were talking about how back 857 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 13: during the eighteen fifties and sixties they never could have 858 00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 13: foreseen illegal immigration like we have today, which is true. 859 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 13: And I would also argue, we don't know what's going 860 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 13: to happen fifty or one hundred years from now. I mean, 861 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 13: let's say that fifty years from now, we have a 862 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 13: spaceship that enters an atmosphere and it lands in Wyoming 863 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,759 Speaker 13: or someplace, and it's got ten million people on it 864 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,040 Speaker 13: and they all have children. Are they going to be 865 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 13: considered citizens of the United States? 866 00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:51,839 Speaker 8: Do they act? 867 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,719 Speaker 13: Do they think that that's what the you know, the 868 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 13: little interpretation of the fourteenth Amendment is. I'm going to 869 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 13: argue not again, it's very specific to slaves and children 870 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 13: of freed slaves. So I hope the Supreme Court rules 871 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,920 Speaker 13: like that. I'm not sure where this executive order is 872 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,480 Speaker 13: gonna go where if that has much force, But uh, 873 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 13: there's just no way we can let these these babies 874 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 13: be considered citizens of the United States. So because it's 875 00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 13: just gonna, in my opinion, is just gonna destroy the country. 876 00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,880 Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think, well, it will lead 877 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 3: to I mean, and we've already seen this happen. I 878 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 3: think it would lead to even more millions of people 879 00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:35,879 Speaker 3: crossing the border, illegals coming into this country so they 880 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,560 Speaker 3: can have a baby on American soil and immediately get 881 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 3: all the resources of the American taxpayers. Because that's what 882 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 3: has been happening, you know, for years. 883 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, and that was not the that's not the original 884 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 13: intent of the fourteenth Amendment. I think. I think it's 885 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 13: the people that offered that. If they could come back 886 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,239 Speaker 13: to date and hear the arguments and see what's going 887 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 13: on in this, they would say, absolutely not. This is 888 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 13: not what we meant when we penned the fourteenth Amendment. 889 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 13: It was to deal with the aftermath of the Civil 890 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 13: War and to make citizens of slaves who, through no 891 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 13: fall to their own came here and they and their 892 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 13: children are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. 893 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:25,360 Speaker 13: They have allegiance to the United States. These illegal aliens 894 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 13: have no allegiance to the United States. 895 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,279 Speaker 3: And just to put this in perspective of Charles, We're 896 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 3: going to have to run here for a break. But 897 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,760 Speaker 3: just to put this in perspective. According to the last 898 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,160 Speaker 3: census data we have, which is from twenty twenty three, 899 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,680 Speaker 3: there are right now twenty two point eight million foreign 900 00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:44,399 Speaker 3: born non US citizens living in the country. So let 901 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 3: that sink in. That's a lot of folks. Got to 902 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:55,240 Speaker 3: take a break. We'll be right back, all right.

Hi, Andre, what's 927 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:24,880 Speaker 3: on your mind? 928 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:26,840 Speaker 8: Hey Todd, how are you today? 929 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 3: I'm good? Thanks for asking. 930 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,719 Speaker 8: Look, coming from a man that I don't class by 931 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 8: myself as black, I cast by myself by the content 932 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 8: of my character, but I am classified as black. It 933 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,839 Speaker 8: is frustrating to me that black people are not outraged 934 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,640 Speaker 8: about these people trying to make illegal citizens citizens when 935 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 8: black dad to go to getting enslaved and in order 936 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 8: they didn't get the right the voter citizenship, to go 937 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,560 Speaker 8: through Jim Crow to get the right the voter citizenship. 938 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 8: And now you're basically saying that all you've got to 939 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 8: do now is just break into the country and we're 940 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 8: gonna reward you with citizenship.

And it is 942 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 8: frustrating to me that how black people have been hypnotized 943 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 8: by this Democratic Party to it. No matter what platform 944 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,600 Speaker 8: they put out there, you go along with it because 945 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 8: they've convinced you from that.

And Andre, you're you're pretty 970 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 3: upset about this whole birthright citizenship. Before we finish our 971 00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 3: conversation here, I want to share some numbers. Andre, Do 972 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 3: you realize the number of unauthorized immigrants in the United States? 973 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 3: Go back to nineteen ninety that number was three point 974 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:58,360 Speaker 3: five million. In twenty twenty three, that number was fourteen million. 975 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 3: And when you look at the we call them anchor babies. 976 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 3: These are the babies of the illegals. All right, just 977 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 3: in one year alone, the numbers were working with are 978 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,800 Speaker 3: from twenty twenty three so they're a little bit old, 979 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 3: but it gives you an idea of what we're dealing 980 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,680 Speaker 3: with here. We're talking about nine percent of all the 981 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 3: berths in America andre are coming from anchor babies, and 982 00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 3: every single one of those anchor babies is eligible for welfare, 983 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,000 Speaker 3: food stamps, whatever resources they need, the American taxpayers have 984 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 3: to provide for them. 985 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,200 Speaker 8: That's what's frustrating me. You know, Todd, I grew up 986 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 8: in the sixties, so I was a part of what 987 00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 8: they're those real peaceful protests. Well, when you got through 988 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,000 Speaker 8: protests and you didn't see buildings on fire, you didn't 989 00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:45,280 Speaker 8: see police officers being attacked, you didn't see people getting murdered, 990 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 8: you didn't see graffiti everywhere. And you're sitting around here 991 00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 8: in a Democratic Party hypnotized black people to well, whatever 992 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 8: jenda we're putting out there, who did you think when 993 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 8: they give away all that wefare and all that what 994 00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:00,720 Speaker 8: group you think is going to fect the most other 995 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 8: than black people? And it's so sad because they so 996 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,760 Speaker 8: busy caught up on the color the skin. When we 997 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 8: gonna get to the counting of my character part, when 998 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,360 Speaker 8: we're gonna get back to love in America. We've got 999 00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 8: a school system. Does it doctrinate these children if they 1000 00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,840 Speaker 8: hate in America? When I got news for y'all. Once 1001 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 8: they get rid of us America, they don't have another 1002 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 8: one out there. And I don't know no place in 1003 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 8: them in the world that's looking to recruit Black Americans 1004 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,320 Speaker 8: because they don't want your mentality. 1005 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 3: Well, I would push back justice a bit on that, Andre, 1006 00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:33,320 Speaker 3: because I think white people. Actually there are more white 1007 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 3: people just by the sheer numbers of white people in 1008 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:40,120 Speaker 3: America on welfare than there are blacks or Hispanics. But 1009 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 3: to your point, every dollar that is going to an 1010 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 3: illegal is one less dollar going to a law abiding 1011 00:59:46,280 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 3: American citizen, no matter the color of their skin. 1012 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 8: Well you can see it in Chicago, Oh yeah, libraries 1013 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 8: and Commuter Center project that they had to put off 1014 00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,600 Speaker 8: because they had to provide resources, but the illegal immigrants 1015 00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:03,040 Speaker 8: coming in and it's so sad and for somebody who's 1016 01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 8: classified as a black people. I want people in America 1017 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 8: to know all black people don't think like the majority 1018 01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 8: of them. There some of us out here that are 1019 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 8: waking up and they're realizing that the Democratic Party has 1020 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 8: never been a friend of black people. Is not a 1021 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 8: friend of black people and will never be a friend 1022 01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:18,520 Speaker 8: of black people. 1023 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 3: What is what is it going to take to change voter? 1024 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,600 Speaker 3: Because you know how it is in Memphis. I mean, 1025 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,160 Speaker 3: everybody sees the problems, and yet people still vote for 1026 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 3: the same folks, the same political party. How do we 1027 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,080 Speaker 3: how do we break that cycle? 1028 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 8: Well, the first thing, Republicans do a poor job of marketing. 1029 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,840 Speaker 8: They need to start pointing out the Black America. These 1030 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,560 Speaker 8: areas were I'll tell you example, this woman Jail Paul 1031 01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 8: that went up there yesterday and she's talking about she 1032 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 8: wants to get reparation for legal everygrich and every time 1033 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:56,040 Speaker 8: Barack Obama had a supermajority in the Congress and the 1034 01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,400 Speaker 8: Senate and the President said, they never brought up the 1035 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 8: conversation of reparation for black somebody's got exposed to black 1036 01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 8: people that Democrats got you hat carried in front of 1037 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,280 Speaker 8: a muse head to fool him and his Republicity do 1038 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 8: a better job of marketing to the black community. 1039 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:14,600 Speaker 3: I do not disagree with that. I'll give you an 1040 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 3: example of that here in the Memphis area. You guys 1041 01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,480 Speaker 3: were about to elect a county mayor and you have 1042 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 3: a gentleman by the name of John G. Berry. He 1043 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 3: was a longtime Democrat, kicked out of his party on 1044 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 3: among other things, because of his position on pro life, 1045 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,680 Speaker 3: and now he is the Republican nominee. They announced his 1046 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,320 Speaker 3: campaign from a high end car dealership and I got 1047 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,720 Speaker 3: no problem with that. But imagine what kind of a 1048 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 3: statement they could have made had they made that announcement 1049 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,240 Speaker 3: in Robert Church Park, a park that was that was 1050 01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 3: named after the black man who founded the Republican Party 1051 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:53,640 Speaker 3: in Shelby County because Democrats were preventing blacks from from 1052 01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 3: getting the vote. I mean, what kind of a statement 1053 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 3: would that? Again, going back to the marketing of it, 1054 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,080 Speaker 3: because I guarank to you, most black children in Memphis 1055 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 3: don't realize that the first millionaires, the people who owned 1056 01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:09,800 Speaker 3: the first baseball team in Memphis, all happened to be 1057 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 3: black people who were also Republican. 1058 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 8: And don't leave out Robert Church was born a slave 1059 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,000 Speaker 8: but died Apeakonaire. And it's funny you brought up John T. 1060 01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,680 Speaker 8: Beer because John was on my show. And when John 1061 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,600 Speaker 8: came up and said that that he was on an 1062 01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 8: abortion and field that they were pushing into Tennessee, legislature. 1063 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 8: I told John Did, I said, you can get ready 1064 01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:31,400 Speaker 8: to find yourself another party, because they're coming after you. 1065 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,480 Speaker 3: And they did, they sure did. They kicked him right, 1066 01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 3: I gave him right out the door. My goodness, pastor Andre. 1067 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,680 Speaker 3: It's always good hearing from you, my friend, and I 1068 01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 3: appreciate you. 1069 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:42,520 Speaker 15: Now. 1070 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 3: Look, you're spot on, and it all goes back to 1071 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 3: putting the needs of the American people first. And if 1072 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 3: we can just get rid of all of this fraud 1073 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,200 Speaker 3: and all of this waste and abuse in our country, 1074 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 3: like I think it was Stephen Miller said, we're going 1075 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 3: to be able to balance our budget without having to 1076 01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,440 Speaker 3: make any cuts. So there you go, Andre, thank you 1077 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 3: for that call. Great to hear from you. By the way, 1078 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 3: I just want you to hear me on this and 1079 01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 3: all these numbers I'm sharing with you, they're low ball 1080 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 3: and probably are double, probably double. But right now, there 1081 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 3: are about five point three million children in American public 1082 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 3: schools almost well, and again that number is about eleven 1083 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:29,600 Speaker 3: percent of the total enrollment of kids in US schools. 1084 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:35,240 Speaker 3: All right, they don't speak a look of English. You say, well, well, 1085 01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 3: what does that mean. Well, it means that a lot 1086 01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 3: of public schools are having to hire EESL teachers, so 1087 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 3: they're having to hire teachers to teach these kids how 1088 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 3: to speak English. And as a result of that, that 1089 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 3: means that if the budgets are tight in these school districts, 1090 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 3: and so if let's just say, you know, you've got 1091 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 3: a couple of one hundred kids in your local elementary 1092 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,600 Speaker 3: school and they don't speak English, that tells me they're 1093 01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 3: going to have to They'll have to sacrifice somewhere else. 1094 01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:04,000 Speaker 3: That made me no reading teacher, no math teacher, no 1095 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,320 Speaker 3: pe teacher, because they've got to use those resources to 1096 01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,640 Speaker 3: hire teachers to teach these kids how to speak English. 1097 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 3: That's what we're dealing with here. So it's not just 1098 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,280 Speaker 3: a matter of you're born here that makes you an 1099 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 3: American citizen. That's not what this is about. This is 1100 01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,080 Speaker 3: about people coming here to this country illegally having a 1101 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,200 Speaker 3: baby so they can take advantage of the of the 1102 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 3: welfare of the great taxpayers of America. That's what is 1103 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 3: really going on here. Nine oh one two six zero 1104 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,720 Speaker 3: five nine two six is our telephone number. That's nine 1105 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 3: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Last night, 1106 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 3: had a great conversation on Newsmax with our good buddy 1107 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson. You see him on CNN a lot, but 1108 01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 3: he also comes on My Newsmax show, and Ben is 1109 01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,920 Speaker 3: really fired up over a couple of things. First of all, 1110 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 3: what's happening with the with Jaden Ivy and boy has 1111 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:03,120 Speaker 3: that story just exploded. There's a lot of controversy over 1112 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,320 Speaker 3: the NBA. People are now calling for us to boycott 1113 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls and the NBA in general. A lot 1114 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 3: of sportscasters are now saying that this guy is mentally 1115 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 3: off his rocker. So fergus and joined us to talk 1116 01:05:15,840 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 3: about that. Also had some things to say about John 1117 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,760 Speaker 3: Thune as well. Let's take a listen your take on 1118 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 3: what we've seen take place over the past twenty four hours. 1119 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:24,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1120 01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 16: I thought the LGBTQ plus II plus plus AA community 1121 01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 16: was supposed to be all about tolerance, right, Well, there's 1122 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,680 Speaker 16: no tolerance here for someone that disagrees with what you're demanding. 1123 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 16: And what the NBA has done is they basically now 1124 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,960 Speaker 16: sanctioned political speech. And you must agree with what the 1125 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 16: NBA says you have to believe in. 1126 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,640 Speaker 2: You know, I challenge. 1127 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 16: Every single Christian, every single person that believes differently than 1128 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,520 Speaker 16: someone else in Chicago. Don't go to the game, don't 1129 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 16: sell your ticket. By the way, have an empty stadium. 1130 01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 16: I assume there's a lot of people that identify as 1131 01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,920 Speaker 16: being people of faith that go to Chicago Bulls teams. 1132 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,760 Speaker 16: There's a lot of churches in Chicago. And if you 1133 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 16: are watching this right now, they will do this to you. 1134 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,400 Speaker 16: This is how you silence people. This is what happens 1135 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 16: in other countries around the world. This individual did not 1136 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 16: attack anyone. What he said was he was being persecuted 1137 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:26,520 Speaker 16: for his beliefs during a mandate by the NBA when 1138 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,720 Speaker 16: it comes to Pride Month and everything else that goes 1139 01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 16: along with it. I also hope, by the way, there's 1140 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 16: a lawsuit here. I hope he gets amazing lawyers, and 1141 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 16: I hope there's a real lawsuit here so that he 1142 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 16: can sit up for what he believes in. And clearly 1143 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,560 Speaker 16: they fired him for his religious beliefs. This attack on Christians, 1144 01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:48,600 Speaker 16: this attack on anybody that has faith in God in general. 1145 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,479 Speaker 16: And so I go back to the NBA, and let's 1146 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,439 Speaker 16: be clear, this is the same NBA that put Black 1147 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 16: Lives Matter all over their stadiums and on their courts, 1148 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 16: and they talk about tolerant and they say, look, if 1149 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 16: we tell you you can believe in it, will allow 1150 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 16: you to believe in it. But if you do something 1151 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,040 Speaker 16: we don't like, we will fire you. That's not religious 1152 01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:10,720 Speaker 16: freedom in America. And I hope he sues, and I 1153 01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:11,840 Speaker 16: hope he gets a lot of money. 1154 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 3: Here's yeah, And the great irony here is you've got 1155 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,520 Speaker 3: players out there doing all sorts of terrible things. They've 1156 01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 3: attacked women, they've broken the law, and if those guys 1157 01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,320 Speaker 3: are giving a second chance, they keep those guys around, 1158 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 3: but they're going to give the Christian guy the heave ho. 1159 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:30,080 Speaker 2: Ben. Yeah, Look, I have no problem with second chances. 1160 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,640 Speaker 16: I want to be clear about that that you shouldn't 1161 01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,240 Speaker 16: be able to buy your way back on a team 1162 01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:35,480 Speaker 16: after you have used women. And we have multiple cases 1163 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:40,400 Speaker 16: that happening of wife beaters and girlfriend beaters who were 1164 01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,760 Speaker 16: given a pathway right back to play because. 1165 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 2: They were good. 1166 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:48,280 Speaker 16: The difference here is this, Todd, he didn't do anything wrong. 1167 01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 2: He didn't beat up a woman in an elevator. 1168 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 16: He didn't beat up a girlfriend in a hotel room 1169 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 16: or a wife in a hotel room. He didn't beat 1170 01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,240 Speaker 16: up a kid, he didn't take drugs, he didn't have 1171 01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 16: a gun on him. For example, We've seen Jay Moran 1172 01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 16: in Memphis, Tennessee, for example, I had a lot of 1173 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 16: problems with guns in his hands, and they found a 1174 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 16: pathway for him to come back. This individual did nothing 1175 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,560 Speaker 16: wrong but to say, this is what I believe because 1176 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 16: of my faith. And now he's been fired because he 1177 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,400 Speaker 16: believes in God more than he believes in the NBA 1178 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 16: and their propaganda. The NBA is a liberal organization. Look 1179 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,559 Speaker 16: at their courts, look at what's on their uniforms, look 1180 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,920 Speaker 16: at their hypocrisy. When had they have no problem being 1181 01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 16: in business with China. Look at the shoes that are 1182 01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,280 Speaker 16: played by many of the NBA players that are done 1183 01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 16: in sweatshops of children in China and the slave labor 1184 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,719 Speaker 16: that goes on there. So don't lecture me, NBA about 1185 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 16: human rights when you guys are in business with China 1186 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 16: and they're enslaving children who are making almost all of 1187 01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 16: your sneakers. 1188 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,000 Speaker 2: Like, spare me the fake outrage here. 1189 01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,759 Speaker 16: What this really is is a persecution by the NBA 1190 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,280 Speaker 16: of Christians. And they were telling every Christian in every 1191 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,559 Speaker 16: team in that league, you better shut up and sit 1192 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:01,920 Speaker 16: down during Pride Month and any other propaganda politically we 1193 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:02,519 Speaker 16: want to put. 1194 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,120 Speaker 2: On your uniform or on the court you play on. 1195 01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,200 Speaker 16: You better stand proud and loud when it happens, or 1196 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:08,679 Speaker 16: we'll get rid of you as well. 1197 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 3: Ben, I want to move on real quick. Get your 1198 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,719 Speaker 3: take on what we're watching take place up in Capitol 1199 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,000 Speaker 3: kill right now in Congress.

Also, we're expecting Artemis two to blast 1322 01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 3: off into space the first trip around the Moon in 1323 01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:21,800 Speaker 3: over fifty years, that's going to be a lot of fun, 1324 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 3: and we'll be sharing more information about that as well, 1325 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 3: but right now, more pressing matters. It's always fun when 1326 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,519 Speaker 3: we have a guest in studio, and we do have 1327 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:36,400 Speaker 3: a guest, a great American patriot. He is a longtime 1328 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 3: congressman and wants to be the next governor of the 1329 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,639 Speaker 3: state of Tennessee. We're talking about Congressman John Rose. Good 1330 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:44,679 Speaker 3: to see you here in Memphis today. 1331 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 18: Thank you, Todd. It's a great honor and privileged to 1332 01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 18: be on the show today. 1333 01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,559 Speaker 3: You know, I'm just curious here, and this is not 1334 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,240 Speaker 3: a gotcha question. Did you have to stand in a 1335 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:57,720 Speaker 3: line at the airport to get here or did you 1336 01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 3: get the special security escort? 1337 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 18: Well, I've always stood in the line. Sometimes there isn't one, 1338 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 18: and that's a great thing, but very often there is. 1339 01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 18: So Remarkably flying out of Memphis, flying out of Nashville 1340 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:15,240 Speaker 18: and into Nashville and Memphis from DC, there haven't been 1341 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 18: particularly long lines, even in the heart of the shutdown, 1342 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:20,759 Speaker 18: and so been thankful for that. 1343 01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 3: Because you know, I don't know if you heard the 1344 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:24,840 Speaker 3: news TMZ, they're kind of like the gotcha you know 1345 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,640 Speaker 3: magazine of Hollywood they're launching a political division. So I 1346 01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:31,240 Speaker 3: guess they're setting up shop in our nation's capital now 1347 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:36,599 Speaker 3: and they're already like naming and cataloging which lawmakers are 1348 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,879 Speaker 3: getting that special walk around the long lines. 1349 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 18: I've seen the video. 1350 01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 3: You have seen in the video. Yes, all right, okay, 1351 01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 3: we're not I won't go any further than that. But Congressman, 1352 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,440 Speaker 3: there is a lot, there is a lot of turmoil 1353 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,479 Speaker 3: right now. I know you were the very first, the 1354 01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,280 Speaker 3: very first lawmaker to say the Senators need to do 1355 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,759 Speaker 3: something about their leadership over in this on the Senate side, 1356 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,320 Speaker 3: and now a lot of other lawmakers are saying the 1357 01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 3: same thing. 1358 01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 18: Absolutely, I think there's no question about it. And the 1359 01:18:05,880 --> 01:18:11,120 Speaker 18: more that I think this rests from their really inexplicable 1360 01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 18: action last the week hours of Thursday night Friday morning 1361 01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:19,320 Speaker 18: last week, I think becomes clearer and clearer that Leader 1362 01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,720 Speaker 18: Thune is not providing the kind of conservative leadership that 1363 01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:25,160 Speaker 18: we need right now as a country, that we need 1364 01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,800 Speaker 18: from the Republican Party and the senators in the United 1365 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:29,400 Speaker 18: States Senate. 1366 01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 3: My concern is that this is just really demoralizing the 1367 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,639 Speaker 3: base of the party and it's not so much you're 1368 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,960 Speaker 3: going to have Republicans vote Democrat. You're just going to 1369 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:40,640 Speaker 3: have a lot of Republicans stay home in November. And 1370 01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:41,840 Speaker 3: I'm concerned about that. 1371 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 18: I am as well, and I think for good reason 1372 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 18: at some level. I mean, I would argue they shouldn't 1373 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 18: because this is essentially a binary choice, as we so 1374 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:55,000 Speaker 18: often face in Congress and technically the voters face, and 1375 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 18: so you know, it's not as though if you don't 1376 01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,960 Speaker 18: vote for Republicans that you're going to get something better. 1377 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,840 Speaker 18: You're going to get something far worse. You're going to 1378 01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:06,719 Speaker 18: get Democrats. And Democratic control of the House or Senate 1379 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,800 Speaker 18: will take us down a very dark road. We know 1380 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,519 Speaker 18: if they get control of the House, the very first 1381 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,720 Speaker 18: thing they will do is to impeach the president and 1382 01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 18: then start chasing other people in his administration, and that's 1383 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,559 Speaker 18: where they'll spend all of their time and energy. 1384 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,040 Speaker 3: I have been impressed with Speaker Johnson. It seems like 1385 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,160 Speaker 3: he has changed, maybe going from a timid leader to 1386 01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 3: one who is really out there speaking truth to the 1387 01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 3: powers that be. What's your assessment of how he is 1388 01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:35,560 Speaker 3: leading the Republicans. 1389 01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,040 Speaker 18: Well, I think you're right. I think he really sized 1390 01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:42,679 Speaker 18: up the moment last Friday and understood that going along 1391 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,080 Speaker 18: with what the Senate had done was a non starter. 1392 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 18: It was a non starter among those of us who 1393 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 18: are conservative in the Republican Conference, but it was a 1394 01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 18: non starter for the Republican Party and the Republican voters 1395 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:54,360 Speaker 18: across the country. 1396 01:19:54,520 --> 01:19:57,439 Speaker 3: What would you recommend people do? How many? Because people 1397 01:19:57,479 --> 01:19:59,000 Speaker 3: are frustrating or they want to be able to do 1398 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,960 Speaker 3: something and they don't feel like the Senate is listening 1399 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 3: to them. And before you answer that, though, I think 1400 01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,960 Speaker 3: the broader issue is where are all of the other 1401 01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 3: Republican senators calling out their leadership? That's that's my. 1402 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,479 Speaker 18: Concern, absolutely, and I think that's what I was going 1403 01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 18: to recommend to the listeners is you need to be 1404 01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:18,920 Speaker 18: calling your senator, you know, whoever that is, whatever state 1405 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:23,200 Speaker 18: you're in here in Tennessee, Senator Blackburn, Senator Haggerty, you 1406 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,800 Speaker 18: need to let them know that you expect them to 1407 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 18: call their leader, John Thune, to task for what happened. 1408 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,760 Speaker 18: And as we know, and we alluded to earlier, they 1409 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,720 Speaker 18: left town. Some of them left town even before the 1410 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 18: vote at three am on Friday morning, and so they 1411 01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,120 Speaker 18: clearly knew what the deal was we didn't know. Speaker 1412 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:48,559 Speaker 18: Johnson didn't know, but clearly the Republican senators in the 1413 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 18: majority knew what was coming, and they left town knowing 1414 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 18: that they didn't need to be there. 1415 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,280 Speaker 3: I'm I have already endorsed early early on, and I 1416 01:20:56,360 --> 01:20:58,760 Speaker 3: endorsed Marshall Blackburn. I think that's important for people to 1417 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:01,200 Speaker 3: know in the gubernatorial race. But I want to hear 1418 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:05,760 Speaker 3: your reaction when you saw her leaving early and at 1419 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 3: that airport getting the private you know, escort. What was 1420 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 3: going through your mind. I mean, you're not only a candidate, 1421 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 3: but you're a constituent. 1422 01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:15,280 Speaker 18: Yeah, So I think it's a pattern. We saw this 1423 01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:18,920 Speaker 18: with the payday provision that was put pushed through last 1424 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:22,680 Speaker 18: fall from the Senate to the to the House to 1425 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:25,679 Speaker 18: give her and other members of the Senate a chance 1426 01:21:25,720 --> 01:21:30,040 Speaker 18: to reap potentially millions of dollars from taxpayers at taxpayers expense. 1427 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 18: We saw it again, you know, with this example of 1428 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:40,200 Speaker 18: her leaving town bypassing security, leaving her post before the 1429 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:44,280 Speaker 18: job was done. And we saw it in Nashville when 1430 01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 18: the ice storm came and she requested to get put 1431 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,559 Speaker 18: to the head of the line for having her home 1432 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,919 Speaker 18: electricity put back on. And I think that's exactly backwards. 1433 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:58,680 Speaker 18: I think we need leaders who understand that leaders eat last. 1434 01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:02,440 Speaker 18: We should put the people that we represent first. And 1435 01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 18: and so I think it's just a troubling pattern. 1436 01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 5: Now. 1437 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 3: You know, as a business owner, you know there and 1438 01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 3: the radio business, you know they're going to be great 1439 01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,320 Speaker 3: years and not so great years. And and to your point, 1440 01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,400 Speaker 3: the owner of the station is the last person that 1441 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:16,880 Speaker 3: gets paid. You know, that's that's a part of leadership, 1442 01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:19,519 Speaker 3: is putting the needs of others ahead of yours. 1443 01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,880 Speaker 18: And I know that as a as a business owner 1444 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:24,240 Speaker 18: and a person who's built businesses, you you know, you 1445 01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 18: get paid last. Sometimes you get paid the most if 1446 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,960 Speaker 18: things go really well, but oftentimes you don't get paid 1447 01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:31,280 Speaker 18: at all. 1448 01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 3: Exactly, which is why we love President Trump coming on 1449 01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:37,280 Speaker 3: the show at boost our ratings. Just getting well, it 1450 01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:40,959 Speaker 3: does boost our ratings. We have Congressman Genres from Tennessee 1451 01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:45,120 Speaker 3: joining us, weighing in on the chaos in our nation's capital. 1452 01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,599 Speaker 3: Of course, you know, another part of that is you know, 1453 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,960 Speaker 3: getting d HS funded. And again, as much as you 1454 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,439 Speaker 3: know we we focus on the Republicans, this is a 1455 01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:57,160 Speaker 3: Democrat issue. They're the ones that want that want DHS 1456 01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:57,719 Speaker 3: shut down. 1457 01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,800 Speaker 18: That's right, and we need to remember all the way 1458 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:04,160 Speaker 18: back to last fall. So now three times Leader Schumer, 1459 01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:07,040 Speaker 18: Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in the in the Senate has 1460 01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:12,120 Speaker 18: led a Democrat instigated shut down this of the of 1461 01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,760 Speaker 18: the government, this time partial, just affecting the Department of 1462 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:19,679 Speaker 18: Homeland Security. But in each case they were putting illegal 1463 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,280 Speaker 18: immigrants above American citizens. Last fall, it was health care 1464 01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,080 Speaker 18: for free health care for illegal immigrants. Now it is 1465 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 18: stopping Ice and the customers of Border Protection from protecting 1466 01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,800 Speaker 18: Americans from criminal illegal aliens. They're putting them ahead of 1467 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:37,400 Speaker 18: American citizens and it's shameful and it should stop, and 1468 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,200 Speaker 18: we should call it out. And frankly, the Senate should 1469 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:43,680 Speaker 18: have stated Washington, and I believe they might have capitulated 1470 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,000 Speaker 18: with all of the news that was bearing down on them. 1471 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 18: I think had had Leader Thune said we're staying here 1472 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 18: until we get the job done. I suspect there might 1473 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:57,599 Speaker 18: have been some Democratic senators who would have said, maybe 1474 01:23:57,640 --> 01:23:58,760 Speaker 18: it's time to make a deal. 1475 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 3: I'm curious, Congressman about boots on the ground. There's been 1476 01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,000 Speaker 3: a lot of talk about that. One of the things 1477 01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 3: I've realized about President Trump. He has really never changed 1478 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,439 Speaker 3: his position on any of his issues. He knows what 1479 01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,800 Speaker 3: he believes in, and it's been that way since the 1480 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 3: nineteen eighties when he first said we got to go 1481 01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 3: after Iran, and now here we are so many years later. Look, 1482 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:21,720 Speaker 3: I think the President is just sending a message. I 1483 01:24:21,760 --> 01:24:23,080 Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to put boots on the 1484 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,320 Speaker 3: ground or not, but I think Iran doesn't know that. 1485 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:30,040 Speaker 3: And the enemy has to be very concerned about the 1486 01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 3: president because they can't read his mind. But I am 1487 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,880 Speaker 3: curious about in your congressional district, what are people telling 1488 01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:36,120 Speaker 3: you about boots on the ground. 1489 01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,599 Speaker 18: Well, I think generally the American people are tired of 1490 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,280 Speaker 18: forever wars, and we saw that with many who supported 1491 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:45,959 Speaker 18: the president because I think he correctly identified that concern 1492 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,680 Speaker 18: among the American populace. But I think this is a 1493 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 18: different situation, and I hope and I believe that Americans 1494 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,160 Speaker 18: understand that for forty seven years, Iran has terrorized the world, 1495 01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,519 Speaker 18: including the United States. They've been the primary state sponsor 1496 01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,240 Speaker 18: of terrorism. They've killed literally thousands of Americans, maimed and 1497 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:08,679 Speaker 18: injured others, many countless others, and so we can't allow 1498 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,400 Speaker 18: them to get their hands on a nuclear weapon, and 1499 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,400 Speaker 18: the President recognized that, and I think he is the 1500 01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:19,639 Speaker 18: master negotiator, and sometimes he makes threats, but what we 1501 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 18: know is he's willing to follow through on those and 1502 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:24,760 Speaker 18: the Iranians would be well advised to take note of 1503 01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 18: what he's saying. So will there be boots on the ground. 1504 01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,200 Speaker 18: I think most Americans hope there will not. But if 1505 01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,719 Speaker 18: it is what is required to get this enriched uranium 1506 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,479 Speaker 18: out of the country and ensure that it doesn't fall 1507 01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:39,920 Speaker 18: into the hands of some new despotic leader there in Iran, 1508 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:40,840 Speaker 18: I think it's worth it. 1509 01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:44,000 Speaker 3: I want to get to your run for the governor's 1510 01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,280 Speaker 3: office just a moment, but I'm curious about what's going 1511 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:48,320 Speaker 3: on in Washington. It seems like, I mean, it's always 1512 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,639 Speaker 3: sort of been, you know, a chaos, but we're seeing 1513 01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 3: really unusually large numbers of even Republicans saying, you know what, 1514 01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:58,400 Speaker 3: I'm retiring, I'm done here. We can't get anything done. 1515 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,680 Speaker 3: What's going on? What is broken in Washington, d C. 1516 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,400 Speaker 18: Well, so I would argue that I don't think there's 1517 01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:08,799 Speaker 18: anything broken. It is very frustrating, and I will personally 1518 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 18: attest to that being in Congress is very frustrating. I 1519 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,799 Speaker 18: certainly wouldn't say enjoyable. But I think if the founders, 1520 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,240 Speaker 18: if the framers of the Constitution came back and they 1521 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,479 Speaker 18: saw how Congress operates, I actually think they'd be pretty 1522 01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:25,080 Speaker 18: tickled about it. Because they distrusted government. They wanted to 1523 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:28,360 Speaker 18: tie government in knoughts, and they achieved the purpose that 1524 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:32,479 Speaker 18: they had, so I think they would appreciate the ranker 1525 01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 18: and the debate that's going on they and I think 1526 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:36,639 Speaker 18: that's what they hoped that they were creating. 1527 01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,840 Speaker 3: I suppose, you know, if you're looking at the brighter side, 1528 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:43,040 Speaker 3: there are no canings and there are no duels that 1529 01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:43,559 Speaker 3: we know of. 1530 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:46,280 Speaker 18: That's right, and so you know, I mean, if you 1531 01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:48,840 Speaker 18: view it through the full lens of history, I think 1532 01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,519 Speaker 18: Congress is working kind of like it always has, with 1533 01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:56,400 Speaker 18: lots of angst and lots of disagreement, but ultimately that's 1534 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,120 Speaker 18: leading to the consensus of what we should do, and 1535 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,760 Speaker 18: sometimes that's very just satisfying the way that that works out. 1536 01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 3: I want to play some audio. There are three Republicans 1537 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,960 Speaker 3: running to be the next governor of Tennessee, and Tennessee 1538 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:11,000 Speaker 3: is a very important state for the entire conservative movement. 1539 01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,920 Speaker 3: Senator Marshall Blackburn's running, You are running, and there's a 1540 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:18,519 Speaker 3: state representative by Monti Fritz and he's upset with you 1541 01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,120 Speaker 3: and Senator Blackburn. I want to take a listen, Adyla, 1542 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,160 Speaker 3: let's play this audio. Wethan. 1543 01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:25,799 Speaker 7: You were talking about hands refusing to debate. 1544 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 4: Was it just Marshalls John confusing? No, it's absolutely both 1545 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:29,920 Speaker 4: of them. 1546 01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:31,120 Speaker 10: It's John and Marcia. 1547 01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 19: Early on, I thought he was going to be willing 1548 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:37,360 Speaker 19: to debate, but then he backed out. I think what 1549 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:40,040 Speaker 19: I heard from their campaigns, he wasn't willing to debate 1550 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 19: unless she was there. And so that's what brought my 1551 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:44,840 Speaker 19: football coach phrase of one of them scared and the 1552 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,280 Speaker 19: other one's glad of it. And you know, there's a 1553 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:53,560 Speaker 19: big libertarian thing in Chattanooga in a few weeks. Everybody 1554 01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:54,879 Speaker 19: should go for both parties. 1555 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 2: Let's put everything. 1556 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,920 Speaker 19: Out on the table and talk about their positions and platforms. 1557 01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:01,519 Speaker 3: I think the people deserve that. 1558 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:03,799 Speaker 18: When do you think about the fact that he complained 1559 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,240 Speaker 18: about her name debating and now. 1560 01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 19: Again one I'm scared and the other. 1561 01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,160 Speaker 2: Wouldn't help you vote. 1562 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 7: If you have some sort of forum where there's an 1563 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 7: empty chair where she would be sitting. 1564 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,479 Speaker 19: I think it's also might be I think most of 1565 01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,280 Speaker 19: the forums of I have there'll be two empty chairs. 1566 01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,439 Speaker 18: The people of Tennessee deserve to know, you know, what 1567 01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:23,519 Speaker 18: would she do as governor? 1568 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:24,839 Speaker 2: Why does she want to be governor? 1569 01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,200 Speaker 18: And I think a debate, debates would be the way 1570 01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:27,800 Speaker 18: to get at that. 1571 01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:31,320 Speaker 3: All right, So he's saying, you don't want a debate. 1572 01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 3: Do you want a debate? 1573 01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,280 Speaker 18: Absolutely, we want to debate, But I think we have 1574 01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 18: to remember this is the Republican primary, and Republican voters 1575 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 18: deserve to hear from all the candidates. I mean, it's 1576 01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 18: obvious what Representative Fritz is doing. He's hoping that he 1577 01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,800 Speaker 18: might get a lucky swipe in at me if I 1578 01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,639 Speaker 18: debate just him. But if we don't have Senator Blackburn there, 1579 01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:57,400 Speaker 18: then we're not really presenting the options to the people 1580 01:28:57,439 --> 01:29:00,200 Speaker 18: of Tennessee. So she should come out, We should have 1581 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:03,160 Speaker 18: a full fledged debate. We should have all the Republican 1582 01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 18: candidates there for the Republican primary. I will absolutely be 1583 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,120 Speaker 18: there and hope that that happens. 1584 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,519 Speaker 3: So on the record, you are willing to debate Marshall 1585 01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 3: Blackburn and Monty friend absolutely. Oh well that settles that then, 1586 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,559 Speaker 3: So all right, we'll have to try to make that happen. 1587 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:22,840 Speaker 18: And I think the Republican voters deserve that debate. How 1588 01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:23,920 Speaker 18: do you ought to demand it? 1589 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 3: How do you how do you address the polling data? 1590 01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:28,479 Speaker 3: You know, there are polls out there and they're showing 1591 01:29:28,520 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 3: her with a decisive lead over both of you. How 1592 01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 3: do you interpret that data? 1593 01:29:34,080 --> 01:29:37,960 Speaker 18: It's still driven almost entirely by name identification. So if 1594 01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,320 Speaker 18: you ask Tennessee voters have you heard of the following people? 1595 01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,640 Speaker 18: And you throw names in front of them. If you 1596 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,040 Speaker 18: put in Marshall Blackburn's name in front of them, ninety 1597 01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,400 Speaker 18: ninety five percent of Tennessee's are going to say, yes, 1598 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:50,280 Speaker 18: I know who that is. If you put John Rose's 1599 01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 18: name in front of them, fifteen to twenty percent are 1600 01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,160 Speaker 18: going to say they've heard who I am at this point. 1601 01:29:55,200 --> 01:30:00,040 Speaker 18: And then so the results of those polls reflect that 1602 01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,760 Speaker 18: lack of awareness. We're going to fix that, but we 1603 01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:05,280 Speaker 18: have to wait until the voters are really ready to 1604 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:08,080 Speaker 18: hear that message, and so that's coming, it's soon now. 1605 01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:11,960 Speaker 18: And when we do that, our polling data shows us 1606 01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:16,040 Speaker 18: that the Tennessee voters will come out the Republican voters 1607 01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 18: in the primary will come our way. 1608 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,240 Speaker 3: All right, where can people go, Congress But if they 1609 01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,560 Speaker 3: want to get more information about your platform. 1610 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,920 Speaker 18: It's simple. John Rose dot com, j O H N 1611 01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:25,679 Speaker 18: R O S E dot com. 1612 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,439 Speaker 3: All right, Congressman, good to see you. And I know 1613 01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 3: you were hanging out with the Republican Women of Purpose 1614 01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 3: earlier today and they always throw a great shindig. 1615 01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:38,080 Speaker 18: Yes, great meal and great people and great patriots. 1616 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,200 Speaker 3: All Right, we got to leave it there, Congressman, good 1617 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,280 Speaker 3: to see you.

And we're going to 1621 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,160 Speaker 3: be doing our best to get a number of candidates 1622 01:30:56,160 --> 01:31:00,559 Speaker 3: from around the nation on the show. And we you know, 1623 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,479 Speaker 3: this is important. We need to talk about the midterms. 1624 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,120 Speaker 3: And you heard Congressman Rose just a few moments ago, 1625 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:10,719 Speaker 3: and he is rightfully concerned that the lack of action 1626 01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,560 Speaker 3: in the Senate could very well doom the entire Republican 1627 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 3: Party in the midterm elections. Uh, let's go to the 1628 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:20,800 Speaker 3: phone lines here. Nine oh one two six zero five 1629 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:25,120 Speaker 3: nine two six. Annadalonaga Georgia listening to us on wd 1630 01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:29,599 Speaker 3: U N Hi Anna, what's on your mind today? 1631 01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 14: Yeah, John, I'm I'm really concerned. I mean, after hearing 1632 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 14: Alex Stone in its obscenities about the president. But we 1633 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 14: get right down the bottom of this whole thing. Why 1634 01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:48,320 Speaker 14: why is Obama and why are Obama and Biden not 1635 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:54,520 Speaker 14: being considered in this mix? They what they did contributed 1636 01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 14: to a lot of the problems we're realizing now. A 1637 01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 14: country of buying for the people, that is the government, 1638 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:09,640 Speaker 14: but it seems like of buying for the politicians or 1639 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:15,320 Speaker 14: their political parties Trumps. So I don't use that term loosely, 1640 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:21,320 Speaker 14: but Trump's everything and no one, no one thinks to care. 1641 01:32:23,600 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 14: I'm concerned that our not all of them, but some 1642 01:32:27,479 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 14: of our politicians are treated like celebrities. They show up 1643 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:37,040 Speaker 14: on late night. They don't have any kind of integrity, 1644 01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:41,320 Speaker 14: discipline and none of that, and it's just a big 1645 01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,880 Speaker 14: game show to them. And we're hurting out here. You know, 1646 01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:50,040 Speaker 14: we're the ones who have to deal with all these illegals. 1647 01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:53,679 Speaker 14: You know, I remember I came from a long line 1648 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 14: of Democrats back in the day. I mean, I'm seventy 1649 01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:00,479 Speaker 14: five years old, so it's been a long time. But 1650 01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 14: my you know, my grandparents came here from France and 1651 01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:09,600 Speaker 14: you know they paid their dues. But now people just 1652 01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:12,080 Speaker 14: go through. And I'll tell you the bottom line is 1653 01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:17,280 Speaker 14: Obama and Biden are there are the reasons for this, 1654 01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,960 Speaker 14: and they should pay restitutions for this, but they're not. 1655 01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:25,800 Speaker 3: No, no, they're not. And you're right, Anna, and I 1656 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,559 Speaker 3: would even contend that George W. Bush was responsible for 1657 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:32,200 Speaker 3: a lot of this, got us involved in two wars 1658 01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:35,920 Speaker 3: that we had no business. Well, we had Afghanistan, I 1659 01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:39,200 Speaker 3: can understand, but Iraq, we had no business going in there, 1660 01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:41,960 Speaker 3: and we lost a lot of American treasure as a 1661 01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:45,000 Speaker 3: result of that. And Donald Trump is undoing all of 1662 01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,120 Speaker 3: this this damage and a thanks for the call. I'll 1663 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,160 Speaker 3: have more to say about that on the other side 1664 01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:58,760 Speaker 3: of the break.

It is you know. I was 1681 01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:53,519 Speaker 3: getting last Saturday. I was getting ready and I had 1682 01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:54,800 Speaker 3: to drop out of the office and I'm like, this 1683 01:34:54,840 --> 01:34:56,519 Speaker 3: is where I wash my car. I don't I like 1684 01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 3: spending money in the car washes, so I wash it 1685 01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,960 Speaker 3: here and I worked around the clock. I mean, it 1686 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,480 Speaker 3: took me forty five minutes to get the Cadillac sparkly, 1687 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:07,799 Speaker 3: you know, because you want to you want to represent 1688 01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:09,559 Speaker 3: the Lord in the church parking lot. You don't want 1689 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,599 Speaker 3: the guys. You know, the deacon's looking at you funny. 1690 01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 3: So anyway, Sunday, whatrding I get it for church? It's 1691 01:35:15,280 --> 01:35:16,400 Speaker 3: covered in pollen again. 1692 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,680 Speaker 15: My wife and I went through the heck, we went 1693 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:20,840 Speaker 15: to a car wash over the weekend and I literally 1694 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:22,240 Speaker 15: looked at her and I said, I might as well 1695 01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:24,080 Speaker 15: taken that twelve dollars and lit it on fire. 1696 01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:27,719 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's it. That's it all right. Let's 1697 01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,800 Speaker 3: talk about investment strategy and a lot of people are 1698 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:34,439 Speaker 3: maybe even unfamiliar with that term investment strategy. What what 1699 01:35:34,479 --> 01:35:35,240 Speaker 3: do you mean by that? 1700 01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,760 Speaker 15: Investment strategy is literally thinking about how do we need 1701 01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,760 Speaker 15: to deploy your capital to work for your goals? So 1702 01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:46,120 Speaker 15: is that a combination of growth investments, is it conservative investments? 1703 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 15: Is it a combination of market based investments and insurance products? 1704 01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:52,320 Speaker 3: So a lot of people, I would have to imagine 1705 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,800 Speaker 3: think one size fits all. You know, is that is 1706 01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:56,479 Speaker 3: that correct? Or is that a big mistake? 1707 01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 15: I would say if it seems like a one se 1708 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:01,439 Speaker 15: fits all, it's not a good fit for you, because 1709 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,479 Speaker 15: each person is different and your strategy should reflect what 1710 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:06,479 Speaker 15: your goals are and not be the same as what 1711 01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 15: somebody else's is. 1712 01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,320 Speaker 3: Again, folks, by the way, if you have questions, give 1713 01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,679 Speaker 3: us a call. Nine oh one two six zero five 1714 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:17,120 Speaker 3: nine two six nine oh one two six zero five 1715 01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:20,120 Speaker 3: nine two six. So we're putting together an investment strategy. 1716 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,759 Speaker 3: What are some of the common mistakes that you see people, 1717 01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:25,920 Speaker 3: you know, making as they try to go through the procedure. 1718 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:28,280 Speaker 15: That's a great question, and one of the most common 1719 01:36:28,280 --> 01:36:31,560 Speaker 15: things that we see on a regular basis is somebody's 1720 01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,080 Speaker 15: just keeping their foot on the gas. Well beyond the ears, 1721 01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 15: they should be keeping their foot on the gas, and 1722 01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 15: they're too aggressive, or we see some people are just 1723 01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:41,720 Speaker 15: very scared of the market. They don't want to have 1724 01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:44,920 Speaker 15: the risk of a correction and it wipe out what 1725 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,360 Speaker 15: they've saved, so they keep their money invested in like 1726 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:51,320 Speaker 15: cash or are low yielding investments, and so what are 1727 01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:54,280 Speaker 15: the risks there? The risk is if you're too aggressive 1728 01:36:54,479 --> 01:36:56,720 Speaker 15: and we're not aligned with the timeframe from when you 1729 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 15: need those dollars, we could see a big market correction 1730 01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,519 Speaker 15: and that could be detrimental to the success of your plan. 1731 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:07,280 Speaker 15: Or if we're two conservative, things like inflation erodes the 1732 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:10,639 Speaker 15: purchasing power of the dollar, and we need to outpace inflation. 1733 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:13,439 Speaker 15: So if that numbers three and a half percent, maybe 1734 01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,040 Speaker 15: we should be looking at five six percent. 1735 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:18,640 Speaker 3: So it's talking really it's really about tailoring a you know, 1736 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,800 Speaker 3: whatever your strategy is to to what you are and 1737 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:23,360 Speaker 3: where you are at in life. 1738 01:37:23,680 --> 01:37:26,840 Speaker 15: Yeah, and I think that's what an advisor or financial professional, 1739 01:37:27,120 --> 01:37:30,560 Speaker 15: you know, provides the most value. There's a lot of misconceptions, 1740 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:32,599 Speaker 15: you know, they see things like Wolf of Wall Street, 1741 01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:36,080 Speaker 15: or they hear other people talk bad about financial advisors. 1742 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,600 Speaker 15: And what I really want people to understand is the 1743 01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:41,599 Speaker 15: best thing that we can do is build a plan first, 1744 01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:44,400 Speaker 15: and then we develop the investment strategy after that. 1745 01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:47,439 Speaker 3: I'm lifing. I actually I don't know why that movie 1746 01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 3: was on somewhere and I just just the other day 1747 01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:54,080 Speaker 3: and it's such an awful movie, but it is. 1748 01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:54,680 Speaker 2: It is. 1749 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,080 Speaker 15: They're not all good people, No. 1750 01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,360 Speaker 3: No, they're not. But but fortunately our friends that Strategic 1751 01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:03,360 Speaker 3: Financial are the good guys. And if you have a question, 1752 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,679 Speaker 3: give us a call nine oh one two six zero 1753 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:07,479 Speaker 3: five nine two six, even if you don't want to 1754 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,320 Speaker 3: come on air, we'll take your question off air and 1755 01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:12,800 Speaker 3: we'll make sure the guys reach out to you. You know, 1756 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,960 Speaker 3: a lot of people I think in our audience has 1757 01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,320 Speaker 3: maybe a four to zer one k or an ira 1758 01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 3: from maybe an old job, and there's really no plan 1759 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:25,160 Speaker 3: to tie it together because some people may have multiple 1760 01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:28,439 Speaker 3: plans out there. What should they do? What advice do 1761 01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:29,320 Speaker 3: you give those folks? 1762 01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,479 Speaker 15: Well, I would say if you're somebody who's in that 1763 01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,920 Speaker 15: position where you know you had a retirement plan at 1764 01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:36,519 Speaker 15: a previous employer and you're working at a new place 1765 01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,360 Speaker 15: and contributing to the new plan, You've. 1766 01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:40,240 Speaker 3: Got a couple options. 1767 01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:43,040 Speaker 15: And it could be let's move the old four h 1768 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:45,880 Speaker 15: one k to an IRA, which is an individual retirement 1769 01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:48,920 Speaker 15: account which has got what we call open architecture, so 1770 01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:52,400 Speaker 15: the investment universe is wide open, and we sit down 1771 01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,280 Speaker 15: and ask you how you want to be allocated and 1772 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,800 Speaker 15: come up with an investment strategy. Or it could be 1773 01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 15: simply as if your new employer plan offersovers, you can 1774 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,880 Speaker 15: move it into your new employer plan. So I always say, 1775 01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 15: when you make a career change or a big life event, 1776 01:39:07,560 --> 01:39:09,840 Speaker 15: happens just like when you go see your doctor, you 1777 01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,680 Speaker 15: go see a dentist, go see your financial professional and 1778 01:39:12,720 --> 01:39:15,400 Speaker 15: see does this apply to me and what are my options. 1779 01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:17,920 Speaker 3: We had last night on the show my good friend 1780 01:39:17,920 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 3: Tracy Burns, she was at Fox Business forever and she 1781 01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:24,280 Speaker 3: has a brand new book out called Deduct Everything. You're 1782 01:39:24,280 --> 01:39:27,960 Speaker 3: talking about your taxes, and we were and she said 1783 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:31,400 Speaker 3: it's important for people to reach out to a professional expert. 1784 01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:34,519 Speaker 3: I'm getting around to the point here, but that because, 1785 01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:36,800 Speaker 3: for example, she said, a lot of people may not 1786 01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,960 Speaker 3: be aware, but last year, if you purchased a brand 1787 01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:44,240 Speaker 3: new car, an American made car, you can actually deduct 1788 01:39:44,280 --> 01:39:47,160 Speaker 3: a huge chunk of the of the price of that car. 1789 01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:50,400 Speaker 3: Many people may not be aware of that. So again, 1790 01:39:50,439 --> 01:39:53,640 Speaker 3: that's why it's important to reach out to professionals like 1791 01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,960 Speaker 3: you guys that strategic financial partner. 1792 01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:58,360 Speaker 15: And one of the things that we recommend the most 1793 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,559 Speaker 15: is to go and see your because we know in 1794 01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:05,160 Speaker 15: the investments, the investment world, and we know enough about 1795 01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:07,760 Speaker 15: the taxes to be dangerous. We always defer go see 1796 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:10,040 Speaker 15: your CPA because that's what they specialize in. 1797 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:10,360 Speaker 5: You know. 1798 01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:12,679 Speaker 15: You wouldn't go to a podiatrist to ask about your heart, 1799 01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,640 Speaker 15: you know, and that's why we have certain specialties. 1800 01:40:15,840 --> 01:40:20,400 Speaker 3: Well, that's a it's a great point when you know 1801 01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:22,800 Speaker 3: to that. We were talking with Tracy, and she also 1802 01:40:22,840 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 3: made another interesting point. For example, when they say no 1803 01:40:26,120 --> 01:40:28,280 Speaker 3: tax on tips, everybody thinks, oh great, I don't have 1804 01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:32,200 Speaker 3: to declare my tips. No, you do. You can deduct them, 1805 01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,680 Speaker 3: but you still have to declare. So she said that 1806 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:37,479 Speaker 3: there's just so much, you know, so much information, which 1807 01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:41,000 Speaker 3: again is why it's so important for for all of 1808 01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:44,320 Speaker 3: us to go and get get help, and we need advice, 1809 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,400 Speaker 3: which is why Adam is here, uh and Chris are 1810 01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:50,759 Speaker 3: here every Wednesday. You know, I want to talk about 1811 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,880 Speaker 3: risk tolerance. There's a great other horrible movie people. Well 1812 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:59,000 Speaker 3: the kids should not watch Casino. Remember Casino Casino? Oh 1813 01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:01,280 Speaker 3: my gosh, remember this. There's a scene to move with Joe. 1814 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:04,840 Speaker 3: Pashi decides to go to the bank and the bank 1815 01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:07,000 Speaker 3: guy was like, well, you know, there may be some 1816 01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:10,880 Speaker 3: risk here, and Paschi was like, I better not lose anybody. Yeah, 1817 01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:13,680 Speaker 3: you know, but a lot of people are afraid. You know. 1818 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 3: That's a big thing is you know there may be 1819 01:41:15,920 --> 01:41:17,240 Speaker 3: are risk intolerance. 1820 01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:20,320 Speaker 15: That's right, and that's why we always when I say 1821 01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:22,639 Speaker 15: we build a plan first and then we figure out 1822 01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:26,200 Speaker 15: the investment piece. Second is in our conversations, we're gonna 1823 01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,599 Speaker 15: ask you about what do you want to do in 1824 01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:31,920 Speaker 15: retirement or what are we saving these dollars for? And 1825 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 15: what is that timeline? That timeline is the most important 1826 01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 15: piece because we have to know when we need to 1827 01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 15: scale back the risk to avoid a sell off, and 1828 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,519 Speaker 15: we lose a lot of what we saved for. So 1829 01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:47,599 Speaker 15: that conversation helps us build the foundation for your plan, 1830 01:41:47,800 --> 01:41:50,160 Speaker 15: and then we put an investment strategy in place that 1831 01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 15: matches what you're trying to accomplish, so that whole one 1832 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 15: size fits all. It can't be possible if we're talking 1833 01:41:56,200 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 15: to ten different people, because it's like a game of telephone. 1834 01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:01,479 Speaker 15: It starts with one thing and it ends with a 1835 01:42:01,479 --> 01:42:04,360 Speaker 15: totally different thing. So ten different people, they're gonna have 1836 01:42:04,400 --> 01:42:05,960 Speaker 15: ten different salts that we need to come up. 1837 01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:08,320 Speaker 3: How often should you you know, go back and look 1838 01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,559 Speaker 3: at things or maybe you know, adjust what your strategy is. 1839 01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:14,080 Speaker 15: Well, just like the tax we were talking about earlier, 1840 01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,799 Speaker 15: every year, same time of year, it's the tax deadline, 1841 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:18,880 Speaker 15: it's the time to go to your CPA. Think about 1842 01:42:18,920 --> 01:42:21,960 Speaker 15: it the same way with your financial advisor. No doubt, 1843 01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,040 Speaker 15: every year this time of year, I'm gonna go and 1844 01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,160 Speaker 15: talk to him, regardless if you have anything to talk 1845 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:26,600 Speaker 15: about or. 1846 01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,599 Speaker 3: Not, we will. We will go over. 1847 01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,040 Speaker 15: And say this is how you performed over the last year, 1848 01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:33,759 Speaker 15: this is what you incurred in the way of fees, 1849 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 15: and if there's any pressing things that we see just 1850 01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:40,840 Speaker 15: from the market standpoint, we may say, hey, you're getting 1851 01:42:40,880 --> 01:42:43,439 Speaker 15: five years away from that retirement date. I think now 1852 01:42:43,520 --> 01:42:46,080 Speaker 15: would be a good time to transition from being aggressive 1853 01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:49,280 Speaker 15: to being more moderate or moderate conservative, just so that 1854 01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:51,439 Speaker 15: we add a layer of downside protection. 1855 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:56,160 Speaker 3: Adam Martin is a financial advisor with Strategic Financial Partners. 1856 01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:59,880 Speaker 3: Their their website address folks Strategic Financial Partners dot com. 1857 01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,960 Speaker 3: Our number nine oh one two six zero five nine 1858 01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 3: two six.

You know, 1910 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:42,000 Speaker 3: if you think the fraud is bad in Minneapolis, what's 1911 01:45:42,040 --> 01:45:46,120 Speaker 3: happening in California. They haven't even begun to really do 1912 01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,080 Speaker 3: a deep dive into the maount of fraud. But I 1913 01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:50,519 Speaker 3: want you to listen to this Fox News report. So 1914 01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:56,599 Speaker 3: they found out that just one building allegedly housed nearly 1915 01:45:56,680 --> 01:46:00,800 Speaker 3: two hundred hospice and healthcare companies. You can't make this up. 1916 01:46:00,840 --> 01:46:01,400 Speaker 3: Take a listen. 1917 01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,439 Speaker 15: The building looks like that supposedly houses one hundred and 1918 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,719 Speaker 15: ninety seven different hospice and healthcare companies. 1919 01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:13,599 Speaker 7: That's California lawmaker Ali Mercedo, investigating suspected hospice fraud in La. 1920 01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:16,920 Speaker 3: I did not see a single person coming in. 1921 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:17,679 Speaker 2: Or out of the building. 1922 01:46:17,840 --> 01:46:21,680 Speaker 7: Neither did we in January on some offices, but no 1923 01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:26,280 Speaker 7: people three floors, no employees or patients. Yet, look at 1924 01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:29,720 Speaker 7: the dozens of providers licensed at this one address. Five 1925 01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:33,200 Speaker 7: years ago, state auditors flagged this location for potential fraud. 1926 01:46:33,520 --> 01:46:36,400 Speaker 7: They say they found non working phones, locked doors, and 1927 01:46:36,520 --> 01:46:37,920 Speaker 7: stolen Medicare numbers. 1928 01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:42,320 Speaker 12: In La County, California, eighty nine hospice companies are registered 1929 01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:43,880 Speaker 12: to a single address. 1930 01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:48,479 Speaker 7: Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill say California's week oversight help 1931 01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:53,160 Speaker 7: perpetuate fraud, a charged Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom denies. 1932 01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:56,040 Speaker 15: We've been very aggressive as it relates to going after 1933 01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:56,920 Speaker 15: the fraud and abuse. 1934 01:46:57,000 --> 01:47:01,520 Speaker 7: He also says hospice fraud involving Medicare under federal jurisdiction. 1935 01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:07,200 Speaker 7: That's misleading state losses. California is responsible for licensing, inspecting, 1936 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:12,440 Speaker 7: and investigating hospice complaints and can deny, suspend, or evoke licenses. 1937 01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:15,320 Speaker 12: This problem is on his hands, and he's refusing to 1938 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,559 Speaker 12: put in rules and regulations. 1939 01:47:16,960 --> 01:47:21,160 Speaker 7: The lawmakers mandated take effect by January this year, including 1940 01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:25,160 Speaker 7: better background checks, a ban on multiple hospices sharing a 1941 01:47:25,200 --> 01:47:29,439 Speaker 7: single office, more comprehensive on site inspections, and face to 1942 01:47:29,520 --> 01:47:33,120 Speaker 7: face meetings before awarding a license. We asked you some 1943 01:47:33,200 --> 01:47:35,640 Speaker 7: why his administration missed the deadline. 1944 01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:38,320 Speaker 2: We've elimited over two hundred and eighty licenses. 1945 01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:40,639 Speaker 3: We've been on this since late twenty twenty one. 1946 01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:43,639 Speaker 7: So what he governor does not say is the sweeping 1947 01:47:43,680 --> 01:47:46,640 Speaker 7: reforms that auditors want have largely not been imposed. And 1948 01:47:46,800 --> 01:47:51,880 Speaker 7: La County still has fifteen hundred more hospices Dana than 1949 01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:54,800 Speaker 7: New York and Florida combined, including five hundred and three 1950 01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,000 Speaker 7: mile rates. Makes no sense, and they're billing medicare double 1951 01:47:58,200 --> 01:47:59,160 Speaker 7: the national average. 1952 01:47:59,520 --> 01:48:02,960 Speaker 3: There you go, and this is the fraud that folks. Again, 1953 01:48:03,280 --> 01:48:05,240 Speaker 3: we have got to get a handle on this, and 1954 01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:08,240 Speaker 3: if we do, you're gonna heck, we may not. We 1955 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,200 Speaker 3: may now even have to have an income tax if 1956 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:14,519 Speaker 3: we can, If we can expose all of the fraud. Dylan, 1957 01:48:14,520 --> 01:48:17,599 Speaker 3: and I want to do another trivia question. Ooh, this 1958 01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:18,400 Speaker 3: is a tough one. 1959 01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,160 Speaker 4: I'm ready.
