00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 4: we'll dip into some of that coverage a little bit

21
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: later on. The President heading out to visit some of

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: our great brave patriots and fighting men and women, and

23
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 4: we'll keep you updated on that. I want to start

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: with this story out of the New York Post, and

25
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: first of all, I just want to say I love

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: Generation Z. I think you guys are pretty phenomenal and

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. Look, what I'm about to share with

28
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: you is not your fault. So if you're a gen

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: Zer and you're listening to the show or you're working

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: on the show Dylan, this is not Todd Sterns and

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: it's what I'm about to share is not meant to

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: be an insult. But anyway, here we go. According to

33
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 4: a top neurologist, Generation Z is the first generation in

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 4: modern American history to be dumber than the previous generation.

35
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 4: So there's a guy by the name of doctor Jared Horvath,

36
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 4: and he's was testifying before Congress and The New York

37
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: Post interviewed this guy, and he's determined, based on all

38
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: of the studies that he's done, that the generation born

39
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: between nineteen ninety seven and twenty ten is the very

40
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: first generation who did worse in school than the generation

41
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 4: before them. So they've done all these studies to make

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: this determination, and they're talking about everything from your memory

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: retention to how you learn to your general IQ. Doctor

44
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: Horvath recently testified before Congress and he's saying, hey, look,

45
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: this is a big problem. And the issue here is

46
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: this has never happened before. Now. Doctor Horvath studied reams

47
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: of data from the standardized academic tests, and he told

48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: Congress that gen Z struggles stem from the fact they're

49
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: the very first generation to grow up with constant screen

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: time and it's no substitute for real learning. Now, Dylan,

51
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: I know that you graduated college. What a couple of

52
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: years back when you were in high school, were you

53
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: guys learning with actual books or did you have the

54
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: laptops and the tablets.

55
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: The laptops were like the special days, like special occasions,

56
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: mostly books for me.

57
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: So you still had books? And when did you graduate

58
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: high school?

59
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: Twenty seventeen?

60
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: Wow, I am I'm just getting old.

61
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm getting old.

62
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: Wow, twenty seventeen, ten years ago. Jeez a lou So

63
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: according to doctor Horvat, now, so you had it good.

64
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: But now most schools are not even using books. They're

65
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: using the tablets, they're using the laptops. And the problem is,

66
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 4: he says, more than half of the teenagers and more

67
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: than half of the time a teenager is awake, half

68
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 4: of its time is spent staring at a screen. So

69
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: you're staring at the screens and you're really not learning,

70
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 4: you're just skimming. That's the issue. And then when you

71
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: leave school now, back in the day, you would go

72
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: and you would play a sport, or you would go

73
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: ride your bicycle, or you'd go wander around in the woods,

74
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 4: or you'd go make out into the stadium bleachers or something.

75
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 4: But now kids are just going home, they're closing their doors,

76
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: they're playing the video games again on the screens, or

77
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 4: they're on their smartphones and they're just doom scrolling. They're

78
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: doing all this. They're just constantly on the screens, and

79
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: that is a problem. According to the doctors, students spend

80
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 4: their hours away from the classroom consulting with their personal

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: arsenal of phones, tablets, and laptops where they scroll through

82
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: TikTok captions, fire off snippy snapchats between eyeballing summaries of

83
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: classic literature instead of picking up a book and actually

84
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 4: reading it. And by the way, they're saying, AI is

85
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 4: going to make this even worse. Learning from screens, reading

86
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: from the New York Post here, learning from screens has

87
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: turned them into skimmers, and without the heavy lifting, even

88
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: beautiful minds can turn to mush.

89
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: Now.

90
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 4: Doctor Horvat says he is not anti technology, but he

91
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: says that schools need to limit the amount of screen

92
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: time for students and go back to the good old

93
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: days when kids had to crack open a book and

94
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: pull an all nighter to pass a test. I think

95
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 4: this is a great idea, Actually, he said. A sad

96
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 4: fact of our generation, a sad fact our generation has

97
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 4: to face is this our kids are less cognitively capable

98
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: than we were at their age. That's what he said

99
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 4: during testimony at the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Technology.

100
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: We have been standardizing and measuring cognitive development since the

101
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: late eighteen hundreds. And get this, and here's this is important.

102
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 4: Every generation has outperformed their parents until gen Z. So

103
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: what do you think is going on here? Fork? Do

104
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 4: you think that's the right idea? Put down the tablets

105
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: and pick up the books, maybe pick up a piece

106
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: of paper, maybe an inkpin. And it's not just happening

107
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: in the United States. Around eighty countries, around eighty countries

108
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: who once up to digital technology now have gone back

109
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 4: to book learning. The doctor says, anytime tech enters education,

110
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: learning goes down. Looking ahead, he said he hopes for

111
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 4: new policies in which schools are forced to pull back

112
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: on tech in the classrooms and give the upcoming kids

113
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 4: that would be Jen Alpha generation alpha a better chance

114
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 4: at becoming brainiacts. So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,

115
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: I'm curious, how do we how do we fix this?

116
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 6: Is?

117
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 4: Is that the right answer to ease up on the

118
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 4: technology and get back to book learning because this is

119
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: the first generation out of all time going on, I mean,

120
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: going back generations, this is the first one that has

121
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: that is dumber than the this is. It's it's a

122
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 4: sad thing to say, Dylan, because I think gen Z

123
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 4: is a brilliant I mean, you guys are going back

124
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: to church, You're embracing traditional values and but again it's

125
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: your what are you learning in the classroom? And is

126
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: it you know you have to blame the technology here.

127
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: I would agree, and I think you know, especially like

128
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 3: you said, the AI AI sums up everything for you

129
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: so you don't have to essentially read any book that

130
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: comes across your desk. And you know, I'm intor kids

131
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: in high school. They talk to me. They don't have books,

132
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: they don't use books. They use the laptops every single day.

133
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: And yes AI is banned on some of those laptops,

134
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: but not all the AI, so they can still access it,

135
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: which leads to not learning, which leads to more screen time.

136
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: Ya da da da da.

137
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta. I mean that's going to that's going

138
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 4: to be a problem in the in the coming years.

139
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 4: You've got to be able to You've got to be

140
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 4: able to understand and reason all of these things you

141
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: develop in middle school, elementary school, middle school, in high school.

142
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: And if you're not getting that, you're basically just I

143
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: don't know what phoning it in.

144
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. So along with education comes like the social you know,

145
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: the socialness of it. You're not talking to people like

146
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: face to face, you're texting or calling, and you know,

147
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: even then you're not answering calls. So I'm not answering calls.

148
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 4: So I've noticed this trend and I don't want to

149
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: name I'm not going to name the church. I've seen

150
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: this in multiple churches, you know, back when I was

151
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: not so long ago. I mean after church, you would

152
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: hang around and you would talk, you would fellowship as

153
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: as the Christians call a fellowship, and people don't do

154
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: that anymore. They leave, they're just boom, they're right out

155
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: the door, or they're.

156
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 3: Right on the phones. Yeah, yeah, you gotta. I think,

157
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: you know, as parents do, and when I become a parent,

158
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: this is something I'm going to implement. I mean, my

159
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: kid's not gonna have an iPhone for a long time.

160
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: It's just gonna it's not gonna be that way. But

161
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: it's got to be some sort of limit. I think

162
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 3: before bedtime, for sure. I've started doing that myself. Just

163
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: cut off a time, like pick a time, stop using

164
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: the phone, read the book, you know, gets you a

165
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: little book light if it's dark. Yeah, something something that

166
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: gets your mind ready for bed. Off the phone where

167
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: your add kicks in.

168
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: Essentially, I wonder if you know if it's even salvageable.

169
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: You know that the teachers are and it's really not

170
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: even so much teacher spending time on all the you know,

171
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: the culture war stuff, you know, the the LGB, none

172
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: of that that that that doesn't really seem I don't

173
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 4: think that plays into this. This is at the core

174
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: function of what is being taught in the schools. I mean,

175
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 4: I understand that most kids don't know their pronouns. You know,

176
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: we can put that on top of the pile here.

177
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 4: But we're talking about the future doctors and nurses and

178
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: engineers and even teachers in America. And if they're not

179
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 4: getting the education they need, what is that going to

180
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: What is that going to look like for our for

181
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: our culture and for our country and in the years

182
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 4: to come. That's the broader issue, because I got to

183
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 4: tell you, I don't I'm not sure I And what

184
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 4: is it Elon said about AI there's really no need

185
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 4: to even go to medical school anymore because of all

186
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: the technology. I sincerely disagree. I want a human being

187
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: operating on me, not some sort of a robot. But

188
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: that's just me. Oh Jesus loot. All right, So ladies

189
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, I'm just curious, what do you what do

190
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: you think here? Should we go back to good old

191
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: fashioned book learning? Is that the answer here? Nine oh

192
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine

193
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. And

194
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: I'll just say this, I know the schools aren't teaching

195
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 4: because Dylan, we were talking to the staff right before

199
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,199

Speaker 3: I heard it from you.

00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: What are they teaching America's children? Not even the Newlywed Game?

203
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,160

222
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: on our Facebook live stream, Todd, I've homeschooled since twenty twenty.

223
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 4: We do all book learning with just a smidge of tech.

224
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: I noticed that the school that I pulled them from,

225
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 4: hold on. I noticed at the school I pulled them from,

226
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 4: a private school, was starting to use more chromebooks. I'm

227
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 4: glad I pulled them out, she says, But I've noticed

228
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: that too. At my place of employment, the young kids

229
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: have no hobbies other than video games. In my day,

230
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: it was sports or art or something. I have many hobbies.

231
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 4: So how can one have interesting conversations when the kids

232
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: have nothing to talk about but video games? Dylan, what

233
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 4: do you like to do outside of the office. I

234
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 4: like to video games, Oh Jesu a lou.

235
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: I like to go on long walks on the beach. Well,

236
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: we don't have a beach on the sidewalk.

237
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: So here's but here's the problem with video games. I'm like, oh, yeah,

238
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 4: what did you think about Froger or pac Man?

239
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? And we don't play close that.

240
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: No, you you play games where pac Man is hunted

241
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: like like Predators, and you kill pac Man.

242
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: Pac Man has an ak Yes, love that game.

243
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 4: That's terrible. Here's look. I love your generation, I really do,

244
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: and most of our staff here is actually gen Z.

245
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: My only thing is it would be nice if you

246
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: guys just returned phone calls and I don't know, maybe

247
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: answered text messages on the same day they were said, telling.

248
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: That you know what, Todd, I'll give you that one.

249
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: That's fair. That at least at least we could text

250
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: you back. If the you know, we come into the office,

251
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 3: we don't say hi, good morning, at least we can

252
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: text you back.

253
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm not asking you to write incursive, you know, all right,

254
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: it's just answered the freaking text message.

255
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: Please don't ask me to write in cursive. My z's

256
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 3: are terrible.

257
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 4: Wow, is that right?

258
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: I don't even know what is Z? Well, yes I do.

259
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: I just couldn't write you a nice lee. I couldn't

260
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: write you a nice letter.

261
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 4: Probably when was the last time anybody wrote like a

262
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 4: thank you note from your generation that was legible?

263
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: Maybe the wedding. The wedding, that's it, because that's the

264
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 3: that's the etiquette.

265
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: I'm getting thank you text, so I guess okay, I get.

266
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: It in cursive. I can text you in cursive?

267
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: Is there an app for that?

268
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: Oh?

269
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 7: Jeez? All right?

270
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six Oh,

271
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 4: we have a Jasmin Crockett update, Ladies and gentlemen. Shot yeah,

272
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: shot job and all right, ladies and gentlemen. Jasmine Crocket

273
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 4: the lady congress gal from Texas. So that's an oxymoron,

274
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: isn't it. Anyway, she's very upset with all you maga people.

275
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: I know this is shocking, but here's what Jasmin Crocket

276
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: has had to say. She's done some work here, she's

277
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 4: done a study, and she's determined who the most unpatriotic

278
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: people in America are.

279
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 8: Take a listen all the flags you want to, but

280
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 8: I am telling you right now that the most unpatriotic

281
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 8: people that we have in this country are.

282
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 9: Maga and this president.

283
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 8: We are the real patriots and it is time for

284
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 8: us to take our flag back and show people what

285
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 8: America is about. You can't say that you love the

286
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 8: Constitution while decimating it with every single stroke of a

287
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 8: pen for an executive order, while decimating it, while you

288
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 8: are disrespecting our troops that have signed up to protect

289
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 8: our freedoms, not just here but abroad, and then you're

290
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 8: taking people's freedoms away using those exact same truth.

291
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh okay, I'm just curious which flag is she

292
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 4: referring to, because most of the people that are out

293
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: there protesting and hating on America are flying like Mexican flags,

294
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: Sobalian flags. Matter of fact, I was watching we had

295
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: a local protest here one of the high schools. The

296
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: kids are like six percent, only six percent of the

297
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: kids are perfe in math, but they're bolting out of

298
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: the school and they're waving Mexican flags. So is jensmin

299
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 4: Crockett telling us that the true patriots are the ones

300
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: who are burning old glory and then they're marching around

301
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: waving the Mexican flag. And if things are so bad

302
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 4: in Mexico, why are you coming to America and waving

303
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 4: Mexico's flag. That makes absolutely no sense to me. But

304
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: jenmesmind Crockett is insane. I mean, she's just insane. This idea,

305
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 4: this notion that President Trump hates our country. Everything the

306
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 4: president has done is for our country. By the way,

307
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: it's not Donald J. Trump who's going around tearing down

308
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: statues and monuments. It's Donald Trump who's putting up statues

309
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 4: and monuments. Just want to throw that out there. Meanwhile,

Speaker 4: was written in tongues. All right. If she said that

333
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 4: to me, I would just give her a napkin or something.

Speaker 4: You say that now, miss do I'm just kidding. I'm

Speaker 4: All right, you got big Valentine's Day plans.

376
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 7: We have an event that we're going to go to

377
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 7: and just hang out together, you know, and then we

378
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 7: also will probably get some food with the kids. We're

379
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 7: trying to do something with the kids first and then

380
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 7: do something as a couple. It's always a good time.

381
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 4: Now, the good news is you can actually do that

382
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: because things are really changing here in Memphis. I know

383
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: you had a big, a big speech that you delivered

384
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago, and sow is how is Memphis, Tennessee.

385
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: It's been in the national headlines a lot lately. How's

386
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: the city doing?

387
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 7: I think the city's doing well. We are seeing crime

388
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 7: down to a twenty five year low, and I'm really

389
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 7: proud of the work that has been put in even

390
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 7: before the Task Force got here. I always want to

391
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 7: make sure that people understand that we started this work

392
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three. When I came in, we had

393
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 7: the highest level of serious crime since twenty since two

394
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 7: thousand and six, we had the highest number of homicides.

395
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 7: I think there were four hundred homicides that took place

396
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty three, and since then we've been putting

397
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 7: in the work. Before the Task Force started, we were

398
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 7: at at twenty five percent reduction from twenty twenty three,

399
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: and now we're at a forty percent.

400
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 4: One of the things you said that really resonated with

401
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 4: me in your speech, and I was able. I watched

402
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 4: your speech and you said that it's not just four hundred.

403
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 4: We haven't only had four hundred crime victims. We have families, yeah,

404
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: that have been impacted.

405
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 7: I mean, each one of those individuals is connected to

406
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: a family, to friends, and thinking about the pain and

407
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 7: the tr that perpetuates throughout our community and then we

408
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 7: see it come back in the form of another act

409
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 7: of violence, and so it's a cycle that is difficult

410
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 7: to break. And so it's really really important that we

411
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 7: have less victims in our community. So, and I think

412
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 7: it's something that we all should be proud of.

413
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: You've come under a lot of fire from your own side.

414
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 4: I think the progressives they were heckling you through most

415
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 4: of your speech. I think there was a lot of

416
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: anger that you haven't been condemning the federal agents, like

417
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: you know what's been happening in Minnesota. How do you

418
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 4: respond to the critics on your own side of the aisle.

419
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 7: I respond to critics on all sides, the other side

420
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 7: my side, because I try to act with ration and

421
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 7: everything I do has a reason. When it comes to

422
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 7: the work with the Federal Task Force, I said when

423
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 7: I started, I don't believe the National Guard is the

424
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 7: way to reduce violent crime in our community. But I

425
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 7: do think that there's a place for the FBI, the DEA,

426
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 7: the US Marshals, the ATF to work alongside our law

427
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 7: enforcement agencies to move crime in the right direction. That

428
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: came with homeland securities and ICE as a part of it,

429
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 7: and so as I've continued to reiterate, I don't believe

430
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 7: we have an immigration problem in our community. I don't

431
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 7: think it's right to move these individuals out of our community,

432
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 7: and so my goal has been to drive them towards

433
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 7: violent crime, which is the purpose of the task force.

434
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 7: And when you look at what has happened in Memphis,

435
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: we've seen far less immigration arrests and far more aggress

436
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: when it comes to violent crime. And that's the result

437
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 7: of how we are driving this thing.

438
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 4: So all of this started. I guess you probably already

439
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: know this. It started on my show, on this very

440
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 4: show when President Trump was on the show, and I

441
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: think things. I know, it's okay, we can have that conversation.

442
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 4: President Trump was cleaning up DC and I was working

443
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 4: so well when we asked the President, take a look

444
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: at what's happening here. And I want to play some audio.

445
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 4: These are just regular folks in Memphis. Their reaction to

446
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 4: the National Guard. Now, let's play cut ten police.

447
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 12: Lock come up.

448
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 13: There's been over three hundred and eighty arrest made.

449
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 14: In Memphis, Tennessee.

450
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 13: And just a little bit over a week.

451
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 15: I will walk to the store, y'all got me a

452
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 15: big eye, Hey, walk to the store in about twenty years.

453
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 4: Boy, I tell you what, Memphis is a madhouse.

454
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 11: The National Guard's done made three hundred arrest done, taking

455
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 11: three hundred criminals off the street, and found like nine

456
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 11: missing children.

457
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: Ever since twelve and Trump done came to Memphis.

458
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: I ain't her no gun shall I say at night?

459
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 12: You know, for the first time in five years, my

460
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 12: kids have been able to play in the bell yard

461
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 12: and be able to do it comfortably. When the cysts

Speaker 12: it's been quiet, it's been peaceful, her kids have been

464
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 12: able to play, and y'all have a problem with that.

465
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,239
Speaker 12: It's becoming real clear who the enemy is.

466
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 4: They said there was going to be we're going to

467
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 4: be terrorized, that the National Guard was going to storm

468
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 4: and take people out of their homes in the dark

469
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: of night, and they were going to stop cars just randomly,

470
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: And none of that has happened. You know, here at Memphis.

471
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 7: I think the reason that you are not seeing the

472
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 7: negative impacts that people were anticipating coming has been directly

473
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 7: correlated to how our team has been working to drive

474
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 7: this task force towards the things that we really need.

475
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 7: We know that we've had a violent crime problem in

476
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 7: our city. Everybody knows it, like that's across the board

477
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 7: in every part of our community. The question always.

478
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 4: It wasn't a perception problem.

479
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 7: Then right, No, nope, I don't think anybody has ever

480
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 7: said that crime is just a perception problem.

481
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 16: I think that you did say it was a perception

482
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 16: you got on the media. Now, well, you just heard

483
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 16: one part of the conversation. Because there's the reality of

484
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 16: crime and there's the perception of crime. There's a perception

485
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 16: of crime that stops people from doing their daily activities,

486
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 16: going to restaurants, doing the things, even if logically the

487
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 16: crime is not likely to happen in that location. But

488
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 16: there is a reality of crime that is happening where

489
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 16: victims are being impacted. So there's both things, and we

490
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 16: have to move both in the right direction.

491
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 4: I want to play this. This This impacted me in

492
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: a way that I didn't think it would. This little

493
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 4: boy lives in white Haven. My family came from white Haven,

494
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 4: we were residents here. And this little boy and here's

495
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 4: what he had to say to President Trump caught eleven plays.

496
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 14: My name is Brilin and I live here in Memphis.

497
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 14: I've been noticing not just a slight change, more of

498
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 14: a detrimental change in like how peaceful Memphis is. Ever

499
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 14: since the Natural Guard came, there was a lot of

500
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 14: things that I could do before the National Guard came

501
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 14: because I had to worry a lot about guns and stuff.

502
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 14: I couldn't play because I was worried that somebody might

503
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 14: pull out a gun or something. But now I could

504
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 14: do that, And I just wanted to thank the President

505
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 14: of the United States for bringing.

506
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 17: The national game.

507
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: You know, you want that kind of Memphis for that

508
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 4: young man you know who plays in the middle school

509
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 4: band at Whitehaven, you know Whitehaven High School. Isn't that

510
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: the kind of Memphis. We want a place where kids

511
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 4: can do that.

512
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 7: We definitely want a city where everybody feels safe, where

513
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 7: everybody feels like they can go outside and play and

514
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 7: do all the things, go to the restaurants. It's why

515
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 7: we've been putting in the work that we've been putting in,

516
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 7: and I think it's important that we drive the task

517
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 7: force towards the thing that really is a big issue

518
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 7: in our community. And we have managed to do that.

519
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: You see, I think it's working. I look at, you know,

520
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 4: the positive press that Memphis is getting, and you know,

521
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 4: we have the international We had the International Blues Competition

522
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago on bill IBC. Wall to

523
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: wall people and just have people having fun going back

524
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 4: downtown again, and that is something that you, as the mayor,

525
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: I have to imagine you are so happy to see.

526
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I'm definitely glad to see more people going,

527
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 7: getting out and about. And I'm looking forward to the

528
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 7: spring in the summer and seeing people participate in all

529
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 7: the activities with Memphis in May and all the things

530
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 7: that we're going to be putting on as a city

531
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 7: to get people out and about.

532
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: What are the lessons here what's happening in Memphis, people

533
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: need to be watching in other parts of the nation,

534
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: because if we can clean up the streets of Memphis,

535
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 4: it can happen anywhere.

536
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 7: I think the lesson is intentionality. One of the things

537
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 7: that we've been doing even prior to the task force

538
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 7: coming here is being focused on how do we identify

539
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 7: who are the true drivers of crime and really using

540
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 7: data to identify who those individuals are. We did an

541
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 7: assessment of all of the shootings that have taken place

542
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 7: over the past two years, identified who were the shooters,

543
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 7: who were their networks, and started putting a deeper emphasis

544
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 7: on who those individuals are so we have a more

545
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 7: targeted approach so that as we get the true crime

546
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 7: drivers off the streets. You start to see more relief

547
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 7: when it comes to crime in the city.

548
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 4: And I just want to tell you only because I

549
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: had to go down to the Cadillac of Memphis to

550
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: replace my brake pads. You got to do the speed

551
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: limit now on the interstates. So I've been hitting those

552
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 4: brakes every time I see the blue lights there.

553
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean Tennessee Highway Patrol has definitely been working

554
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 7: with us. Again. Prior to the task Force, I think

555
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 7: they had added another that were fifty five Tennessee Highway

556
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 7: Patrol individuals here, and now I think there's about one

557
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 7: hundred and twenty five that are here, and so they're

558
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 7: helping us on our interstates because our roads give that

559
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 7: indication of chaos. It's what makes you feel like things

560
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 7: are unsafe because people are driving erratic and darned in

561
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 7: and out of traffic, and when you almost get wiped

562
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 7: off the road, you feel like, I just need to

563
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 7: go home. And so I do think it's important that

564
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 7: we make sure our streets are safe.

565
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 4: Paul Young is the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, and he

566
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: joins us in studio. Can you stick around for a

567
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 4: few more minutes. Let's go all right, we got Mayor

584
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 4: I ran in. I was going to visit my grandparents

585
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 4: one day in Whitehaven, and Grandma and Grandpa Starrings were

586

00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: let's go to the bones and say hello to Don

Speaker 4: in Lakeland and Don that you're on the air with

590
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,720

00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 7: All right, how you doing, sir?

592
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 9: It's great Don.

593
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 12: Yes, that's to your trivia question.

594
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 18: I bought mine at Pew's Flowers.

595
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: It is a great flower shop and a great sponsor

596
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 4: of KWIM locally here at Memphis. But that is the

597
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 4: incorrect answer. Oh dear, Sorry Don, but thanks for trying.

598
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 4: So we still had the open question up. What's the

599
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: most popular gift to give on Valentine's Day? You know,

600
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 4: mister mayor, one of the things that you talked about

601
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: was the mass exodus of people that we've seen people

602
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 4: leaving Memphis. And I know about you, but I want

603
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: people to come here, and especially for young Americans. What

604
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 4: a great affordable city for people to move to.

605
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean we have all of the assets.

606
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 7: Our city is great. It's the low cost of living,

607
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 7: we have the space, we have the housing stock. We

608
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 7: need to upgrade the housing stock. And so my mission

609
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 7: now is to reverse population loss. We've seen about thirty

610
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 7: five thousand. Our population has reduced by about thirty five

611
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 7: thousand since the year two thousand and Given that we

612
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 7: have such a large geography three hundred square miles. It's

613
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 7: one of the things I said in my speech was

614
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 7: that we have six hundred and fifteen thousand people with

615
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 7: three hundred square miles, and for comparison's sake, Boston is

616
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 7: ninety one square miles and has six hundred and seventy

617
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 7: thousand people. And so if we want to strengthen our city,

618
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 7: we must grow our tax space and we must get

619
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 7: more people living within our three hundred square miles. And

620
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 7: so that's going to help us pave the roads and

621
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 7: take care of all the things that our community needs.

622
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 4: And you need to take bragging rights because we're not

623
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 4: used to snow and ice storms here and our streets

624
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 4: were cleared faster than New York cities were.

625
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, our teams worked incredibly hard. I want to

626
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 7: shout out our public works team that we're working around

627
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 7: the clock. Also definitely want to shout out Doug McGowan

628
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 7: and MLGW because people forget that our power stayed owned

629
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 7: during this storm and it was due to the work

630
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 7: that happened not just two weeks before, but years prior.

631
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 7: They did a three year tree tramming cycle within two

632
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 7: years and it allowed them to get ahead of a game,

633
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 7: and I think that led to the stability of our

634
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 7: grid during that time.

635
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 4: I want to go to the phone lines. We have Harold,

636
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 4: who's listening to us in Memphis. Harold, you're on the

637
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: air with the mayor Ope and we just lost Harold,

638
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 4: So sorry about that. Harold. He was going to point

639
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 4: out though, that the National Guard does not arrest people

640
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: here in the city, and Harold, we appreciate you making

641
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: that notation. I want to ask you real quick, mister mayor,

642
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 4: a time is quickly expiring here. The Republicans made a

643
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 4: pretty shocking announcement yesterday. John DeBerry, whose family's very involved

644
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 4: in the civil rights movement, a longtime Democrat leader. He

645
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: was kicked out of the Democrat Party because he was

646
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 4: pro life and he supported some other Republican policies. Now

647
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: he's running for county mayor. What's your take on that.

648
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 7: I think John devere is a great guy. He'll be

649
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 7: a formidable opponent. I think that, you know, we're all

650
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 7: looking forward to seeing who comes out on the Democratic side,

651
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 7: and so shout out to everybody's run. And I'm not

652
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 7: picking a horse in the campaign, whoever wins. I look

653
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 7: forward to working with to advance Memphis and Shelby County.

654
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 4: When you look nationally at what's happening, you know, across

655
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 4: the country, we have the midterms coming up. What for

656
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: you as a mayor would you say is one of

657
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: the big issues that that our urban centers, our urban

658
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: cities need to be paying attention to.

659
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 7: We need to be figuring out how we do do

660
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 7: more for infrastructure, our roads, and our streets. We definitely

661
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 7: need to be thinking about energy and power. With the

662
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 7: growth of artificial intelligence and data centers all across the world,

663
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 7: it's important that we have stable grids and that we're

664
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 7: thinking about creative ways to generate power, clean energy ways

665
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 7: to generate power so that we are taking care of

666
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 7: our environment and being able to keep up with the

667
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 7: rest of the world.

668
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 4: And God bless Elon. I mean, he's making some big investments,

669
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: but he's also doing a lot of charitable stuff. I know,

670
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 4: we donate a lot of generators to the good people

671
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 4: just in North Mississippi, So he's that's exciting to see.

672
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's good to see. I mean, they're obviously deeply

673
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 7: invested in this area, have invested twelve billion dollars in

674
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 7: the first phase or first two phases over at the

675
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 7: Colossus site over in southwest Memphis. We got a significant

676
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 7: environmental win with them building a grey water facility one

677
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 7: hundred million dollars great water facility where they're going to

678
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 7: take water that would have gone our sewer wastewater treatment,

679
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 7: water which would have gone into the Mississippi River is

680
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 7: now going to be able to cool not only their facility,

681
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 7: but the whole TVA facility, which previously has been pulling

682
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 7: six million gallons of water a day out of our aquifer.

683
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 7: So that's a tremendous win.

684
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: I want to ask you one final question, what about

685
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 4: thinking President Trump for paying attention to what's happening here

686
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 4: at least, you know, recognizing, hey, Memphis matters.

687
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 7: I mean, I certainly appreciate the federal resources that are here,

688
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 7: and you know, we're gonna keep working with the federal

689
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 7: government with the state government to get the things that

690
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 7: matter for the residents of our city.

691
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 4: I'll take that as a thank you, all right, mister mayor,

692
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 4: It is great to see you. Thank you for coming on.

693
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,919

Speaker 4: on here, but we really do like to hear from

00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 4: Democrats you know, we want to hear from all I

696
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 4: know you're a nonpartisan mayor, but we like to hear

697
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 4: from all different political persuasions. I think it's important.

698
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:34,759

00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 18: look at these other mayors in these other states like Minnesota,

774
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,959
Speaker 18: where they're not even you know, working with them. They're

775
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 18: working against them. They're working against the police, they're working

776
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 18: against ice, they're working against them. All you've got to

777
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 18: cooperate as a team like you guys have done with

778
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 18: this mayor here in in Tennessee. And you look at Louisiana.

779
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 18: The federal judge just released foy legal immigrants convicted of

780
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 18: murdered sex crimes from ICE custody in Louisiana, and it

781
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 18: was an ABOMBA point is judge.

782
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: You know, Mark, it's interesting. New Orleans and Memphis have

783
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 4: two things that have well, multiple things in common, but

784
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 4: the one thing they have in common here both mayors

785
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 4: are Democrats, and even though you know and look they're

786
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: going to play the party line, I get that. But

787
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 4: behind the scenes is what is what we know is happening,

788
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 4: and we know that there is some sort of coordination

789
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,439
Speaker 4: if that's what you want to call it, between these

790
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 4: administrations New Orleans and Memphis because of how well things

791
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 4: are going. These are going very smoothly here, rounding up

792
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 4: the illegals, getting the violent criminals off the streets, and

793
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 4: that's only going to mean great things for New Orleans,

794
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 4: it's going to mean great things for Memphis and honestly

795
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 4: other cities as well. So this is really the blueprint,

796
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 4: I think, for other cities to bring in these federal

797
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 4: assets and clean up the criminal element.

798
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 18: Yeah. You just got to work together, you know, you

799
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 18: really do. And it's just really sad. I wanted to

800
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 18: go on one other note. I know why they're not

801
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 18: returning your phone calls there. They've had they've had enough

802
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 18: of tod start for one day.

803
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 4: Just mess wow, jess A Loo, Mark, that took an

804
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:13,360

Speaker 18: It was a joke. It was a joke. Was sitting

806
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 18: over there laughing, look at me to laughing.

810
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 4: Joe and l J Joe. We're gonna make you our

811
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 4: official IDLO financier financial guru.

812
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 22: Well, i'll tell you what. I am so fired up.

813
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 22: The Trump economy is doing great. The market he had

814
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 22: fifty thousands the Dow Jones industrials. And my prediction is

815
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 22: an ugly agree with Trump that before he is out

816
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 22: of office, it'll be a hunt undred thousands. And I

817
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 22: think the Republicans are gonna win landslide elections in November

818
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 22: because the economy has never been better, the stock market's

819
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 22: never been better, and Trump will get that across to

820
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 22: the American people, and I think we'll have Republican landslide wins.

821
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 22: And Todd You're gonna help in that effort to make

822

Speaker 4: eight or nine years ago. We've got an anniversary coming up.

851
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 14: No.

852
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 4: We you pretty much know where I'm coming from, and

853
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: we do not deviate from that. So I just want

854

859
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 4: in Memphis.

860
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 3: I need to expand, to go somewhere.

861
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,760

Speaker 4: I like that great place by the way, all right.

865
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

866
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 4: Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero

867
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 4: five nine two six. This story really interested me. Out

868
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 4: of New York City. The President and the Trump administration

869
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 4: had ordered that the American flag be flown at all memorials. Well,

870
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 4: in New York City, they had removed the American flag

871
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 4: and they had raised the rainbow flag outside the Stonewall

872
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: National Monument, now the stone Wall in was there was

873
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 4: a massive, massive fight riot back. It was in the

874
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 4: nineteen seventies. It's a gay bar, is what it is,

875
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: Donwall is a gay bar. So anyway, city leaders are

876
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 4: enraged and they plan to re raise the gay pride

877
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 4: flag right outside this small park which is in the

878
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 4: Greenwich Village. And I spent a lot of time in

879
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 4: New York City. It was down in the Greenwich Village.

880
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 4: That's over in the gosh. Right below was it Houston Street.

881
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 4: The Manhattan Borough President Brad Hollyman's sigal says, quote, We've

882
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 4: brought the flag back to a sacred site. Okay, dude,

883
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 4: it's a gay bar, all right, it's a gay bar.

884
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 4: I want to talk about what happened inside that gay bar.

885
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 4: Want to do that, mister Burrow President. We can't do

886
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 4: that on the air, but we can have that conversation.

887
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 4: By the way, this is the same Yahoo who literally

888
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 4: demanded that Newsmax be taken off This off the air

889
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 4: in taxi cabs in New York City. The Pride flag

890
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 4: had been removed after the Department of Interior issued federal

891
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 4: guidance that addressed the display of non agency flags in

892
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 4: the National park system. It was not exactly clear reading

893
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 4: from the New York Times report, it was not exactly

894
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 4: clear when the flag was taken down, but employees said

895
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,760
Speaker 4: they had noticed it was gone on Monday morning. On Wednesday,

896
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 4: federal employees raised an American flag on the pole where

897
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 4: the Pride flag had once flown. So it's not a

898
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 4: matter of taken down old glory and putting up the

899
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 4: rainbow flag for ilo, what is it gay Pride months now?

900
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 4: I think we've got to June, July, and August. No, no, no, no, no.

901
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,280
Speaker 4: They didn't even raise it was always the gay Pride flag.

902
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 4: Among those who are enraged Congressman Jerry Nadla, the Manhattan Democrat,

903
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 4: and they all stood together and hung the Pride flag.

904
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 4: As they turned to leave the park, the crowd began

905
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 4: to shout higher, so they wanted the American flag below

906
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 4: the Pride flag. Then several people from the crowd stepped

907
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 4: in and removed the Pride flag and raised it again.

908
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 4: Were it's side by side next to the American flag,

909
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 4: which is a flying code violation according to the American Legion.

910
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 4: Mariah Lopez, a transgender activist, said the flag's unauthorized return

911
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 4: was in keeping with the history of the monument. It

912
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 4: commemorates three days of protest and street clashes between gay

913
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 4: activists and police after the police raided the Stone Wall in.

914
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 4: Timothy French, a drag performer from the Bronx who uses

915
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 4: gender neutral pronouns. All right, I'm already confused, said the

916
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 4: return of the flag had made them feel emotional. They

917
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 4: said they had recently they He said he had been

918
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 4: recently assaulted on the subway and had a transgender friend

919
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 4: who was hospitalized after an attack. Well, what does that

920
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 4: have to do with the rainbow flag? So anyway, this

921
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 4: is now a huge issue in New York City and

922
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 4: they're saying there is no place for the American flag

923
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 4: on a taxpayer funded monument which is a gay bar.

924
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 4: Do you have a problem, ladies and gentlemen, with what

925
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 4: the Department of Interior did here. Nine oh one two

926
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,919
Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six are telephone number. That's

927
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

928
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 4: So there's a podcaster out there, and her name is

929
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 4: Jennifer Welch. She is she's white, actually, but she's got

930
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 4: a problem with her own race, and she's saying that

931
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 4: all of you white people out there should stop watching

932
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 4: sports with black athletes, and that white people have no

933
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 4: culture of their own. So we're just kind of like,

934
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 4: what are we blobs? I don't understand what does that

935
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 4: mean that white people have not contributed anything to society ever?

936
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 4: Take all listen restaurants. You want white culture, you go

937
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 4: live in it. You live in it, bathe in it.

938
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 13: Like that's the only thing that I see when you

939
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 13: get all white people together in the United States. There's

940
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 13: no culture at all. So they have to go borrow

941
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 13: culture from people. Even the word woke, they've borrowed from

942
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 13: black culture. They I went to a Mexican restaurant with

943
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 13: my parents, my son, my husband over the weekend and

944
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 13: there's just all these maga looking people in there, and

945
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 13: I thought, you've got a lot of nerve coming in here,

946
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 13: coming into this Mexican restaurant where every single waiter obviously

947
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 13: English was their second language, served with a smile. They

948
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 13: run a great little local business. And Oklahoma City is

949
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 13: a better place because of these hard working immigrants to

950
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 13: coming here. But I cannot imagine the horror they feel

951
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 13: when they are driving to and from work when they

952
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 13: might have a hearing on their status, legal status. I

953
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 13: can't imagine the people who've already been taken from their

954
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 13: lives and to see these fat ass, pink arm teeny

955
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 13: weeny baby with their ugly ass wives walk into this

956
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 13: Mexican restaurant and sit down and smile and be friendly.

957
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 13: I don't think you should be able to enjoy anything

958
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 13: but cracker barrel.

959
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 4: All right, enough of you stuff it up your chiloopa lady,

960
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 4: jeez a loop. You know what I am tired. I

961
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 4: am tired of these gogs, these galls of girth with

962
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 4: their magenta hair, spew it all this anti white hate. Lady,

963
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 4: If you hate being white, book yourself attaining salon. That's

964
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 4: all I can tell you. But it's folks. Have you

965
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 4: noticed there's been an uptick in like white people bashing

966
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 4: you do this to any And by the way, what's

967
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 4: wrong with a white couple going to enjoy an authentic

968
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 4: Mexican dinner at Taco Bell? What's wrong with that? I'm sorry,

969
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 4: I tried not to do that without laughing delike, But again,

970
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,680

Speaker 4: what about yourself? Do you already have Valentine's Day taken

1077
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 4: care of? Or are you a last minute guy?

1078
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 23: I will be fighting the Valentine's Day Cardisle along with

1079
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 23: probably two hundred other men after the show is over

1080
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 23: here this morning.

1081
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 4: Well that's okay. You just don't want to be the

1082
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 4: guy going to the seven to eleven picking up roses.

1083
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 23: No, no, no, no, I'm in California. I ca get

1084
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 23: them on the street corners here.

1085
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 4: Oh oh jeez. You know the guys washing your wind shields.

1086
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 23: And see, think about it, it's full service. I get

1087
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 23: the roses, I get the windshield washed.

1088
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 4: All that aside, hustle the right of the five. I

1089
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 4: love it. Joe. We were talking earlier in the program

1090
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 4: about this story out of New York City where this

1091
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 4: own wall in which is the it's a gay bar

1092
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 4: where they had all these riots and now it's some

1093
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 4: sort of a national historic landmark. But they're not flying

1094
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 4: the American flag. They were flying the flying the Pride flag.

1095
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 4: And so the Department of Interior came in and said, no,

1096
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 4: that's not how it's going to be. We're flying old

1097
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 4: Glory here. What say you?

1098
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 23: You fly old Glory? It's again, it's federal property right now.

1099
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 23: I'm sorry for what happened there many many many years ago,

1100
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 23: but I'm not trying to be insensitive yesterday's news. You

1101
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 23: want to talk about it inside, you want to put

1102
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 23: some pamphlets up about it, or maybe around the quote

1103
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 23: unquote not the holiday, but the memorial event behind it

1104
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 23: one or two days. Fine, not the flag, just let

1105
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 23: people know what happened there. But no American flag, Oh glory,

1106
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 23: that's all that belongs to that pole.

1107
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 4: What do you make of all of these protests? You

1108
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 4: mentioned the school protest, and we had one in Memphis

1109
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,640
Speaker 4: yesterday and the kids were walking out with the Mexican flag.

1110
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 4: They were flying the Mexican flag. What the heck is

1111
01:02:58,520 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 4: going on out there?

1112
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 3: I got so much trouble for that, but I don't

1113
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 3: really care anyhow.

1114
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 23: We had the same thing here. We have ten high

1115
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 23: schools in my district, and every one of them, at

1116
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 23: some point in time this week has had a walkout.

1117
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 23: And you know, again, you and I are constitutional people.

1118
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 23: I said, look, the kids have a right to walk

1119
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 23: out as long as they do it properly, and they've

1120
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 23: got permission. And there's a whole bunch of guy like

1121
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 23: they threw them all aside because apparently they're above the law.

1122
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 23: So they walked out, and you know, the disheartening thing too,

1123
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,640
Speaker 23: was they had, you know, the f ice signs that

1124
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 23: they had made up, and I'm thinking, that's not US,

1125
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 23: that's not our culture here. And but you're right, there

1126
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 23: was several of these things had Mexican flags. And I said,

1127
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 23: I made the mistake of asking the question in public.

1128
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:42,920
Speaker 23: I'm kind of confused here because I'm not the smartest

1129
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 23: guy in the room. Are they protesting American policies or

1130
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 23: they are protesting Mexican policies? I gotta I don't quite

1131
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 23: understand what's going on here.

1132
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Wow, did anybody respond to that?

1133
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 24: Oh?

1134
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 23: I yeah, you know, I had a few of them

1135
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 23: respond to me about what a racist I was. I

1136
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 23: had no business being on a school board. I don't

1137
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,760
Speaker 23: care about all these kids. I only care about a

1138
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 23: certain group of kids. I'm going, Okay, which ones would

1139
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 23: those be? I care about the you know, I care

1140
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 23: about all kids. But if teachers, and there are teachers

1141
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 23: encouraging this, Todd we found some teachers were briefing the

1142
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 23: kids on how to do it and how to stay

1143
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 23: safe and that kind of stuff, which is good staying safe.

1144
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 23: But yeah, they're out there screaming against the US government.

1145
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 23: And I'm thinking. Okay, so go to the Mexican government.

1146
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 23: Go down there and see what happens when you start

1147
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 23: protesting in the streets.

1148
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 4: Yeah I love that. Or you know what kind of

1149
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 4: Mexico without any sort of documentation, see what happens.

1150
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah true.

1151
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 4: Let us know how that turns out for you.

1152
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 23: Yeah, right, exactly. And they're being Look, people keep calling

1153
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 23: it in doctrination. Okay, maybe it is, but what it

1154
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 23: actually is is these teachers have an ideology and they

1155
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 23: believe that they know what's better than anybody else, and

1156
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 23: they've got those kids. Think about it, people, they've got

1157
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 23: your kids pretty much six hours a day and a

1158
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 23: certain it was done a few years back so that

1159
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 23: the high school teacher in the community is one of

1160
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 23: the most revered and trusted teach people in your community.

1161
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 23: And these kids love their teachers. This is why you

1162
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 23: have to be active with your children, nieces, nephews, grandson's,

1163
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 23: grand granddaughters. Let them know the truth and let them

1164
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 23: know how you feel.

1165
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 4: I love this. Joe Messina on our Patriot Mobile news

1166
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 4: maker line today. You know, Joe, I don't know what

1167
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 4: the schools are like here in Santa Clarita, but a

1168
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 4: lot of these schools you've got, the kids are not

1169
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 4: at greeting at age level when it comes to reading

1170
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 4: a comprehension. I think one of the schools I saw

1171
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 4: was a six percent of kids passing math class. It

1172
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 4: seems to me they ought to be focused on educating

1173
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 4: the kids as opposed to letting them just storm out

1174
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 4: many times without parental notification. And that's a big problem

1175
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 4: it is.

1176
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 23: But let me tell you what governor to do some

1177
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 23: kind of shlid in a while back, which is kids

1178
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 23: are allowed to leave campus. If they leave campus, story

1179
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 23: class or what have you, they get a zero unless

1180
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 23: their parents write it out that say, they were allowed

1181
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 23: to protest for my permission. So if they're doing a

1182
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 23: protest or a government thing, they can walk out, and

1183
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 23: as long as they have even if it's provision after

1184
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 23: the fact and the parents write it out, you can't

1185
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 23: give them a zero.

1186
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 3: And you have to allow.

1187
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 23: Them to take the class over again, or to take

1188
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 23: that particular portion of the class over again. But the

1189
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 23: teachers are in on it, so they're not really giving

1190
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 23: them a hard you know, a hard time with the

1191
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 23: whole thing. And it's just amazing to me how this

1192
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 23: goes down and they get away with it. And to

1193
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 23: your point, the teachers getting paid to for teaching nothing

1194
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 23: in that class. And we recently found out. Now, at first,

1195
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 23: I'm going to give you the numbers that we are

1196
01:06:45,320 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 23: within the top five school districts in Los Angeles County,

1197
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 23: where within the top twenty in the state of California. However, drumroll,

1198
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 23: drum roll.

1199
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 4: However, there you go.

1200
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 23: We're twenty of our kids are at are only at

1201
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 23: math proficiency. Only forty seven percent of our kids can

1202
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 23: do math properly. Only fifty two percent of our kids

1203
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 23: can read have an English proficiency. And they're excited about it.

1204
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 23: I'm not, but they are.

1205
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 4: Wow, that's it. I'm not surprised by that. I'm not

1206
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:20,479
Speaker 4: surprised by the way. This interesting story. And of course

1207
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:24,720
Speaker 4: this impacts you guys in California. The Virginia Supreme Court

1208
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 4: has now greenlit a referendum on redistricting in Virginia. And look,

1209
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 4: here's the deal, Joe. If everybody wins what they're supposed

1210
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:38,560
Speaker 4: to win, Republicans and Democrats across the nation, the Democrats

1211
01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 4: will immediately take control of the House because they're eliminating

1212
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 4: all but one Republican congressional district. They're in Virginia, so

1213
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 4: they went from having five down to one. And we

1214
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 4: had Congressman Marlon Stutsman on from Indiana. He told me

1215
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 4: that even if they wanted to go back now and

1216
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 4: the Republicans could do redistricting, they're not going to be

1217
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 4: able to get it done in time for the midterms.

1218
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 4: And of course you guys are dealing with a very

1219
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 4: similar situation there in California.

1220
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:09,760
Speaker 23: Oh we are, and and the you know, the court

1221
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 23: up held Governor Newsom's ability after he lied to the

1222
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 23: people here to be able to remander the sort of

1223
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 23: point where we may only end up with two seats

1224
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 23: here in California. And the funny thing about it is

1225
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 23: todd we have over forty Republican registration. Think about that one.

1226
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 23: So we have over the forty percent Republican registration here,

1227
01:08:29,800 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 23: and yet we will virtually have for all intensive purposes

1228
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 23: no say here in the state of California. And you

1229
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 23: know it's people are up in arms about it, but

1230
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 23: I say the same thing. Did you get out and vote.

1231
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 23: We still had a lousy turnout on the vote for this.

1232
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 23: So you know, our Republican friends, our conservative friends, don't

1233
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 23: think that we've got this, or don't think that a

1234
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 23: lot of people think like you do. You need to

1235
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 23: get your friends and loved ones off the couch, get

1236
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 23: him to stop drooling all of themselves and get out

1237
01:08:57,880 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 23: there and cast their.

1238
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,639
Speaker 4: Vote, Joe, before we let you go. I'm just curious

1239
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 4: about the California Governor's race. Of course, you guys have

1240
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 4: what one of these they call it all party open primary,

1241
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 4: and the top two vote at ers, no matter their party,

1242
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 4: advance on to the general election. And I'm looking at

1243
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 4: polling data here that just about every single poll has

1244
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 4: either Steve Hilton or Chad Bianco in the lead.

1245
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 23: They are and it's amazing, but you got to be

1246
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 23: careful with the polls. Obviously, I think Hilton has a

1247
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 23: real chance. He's got a real good team together. He's

1248
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,440
Speaker 23: got a real good ground game together. And the Democrats,

1249
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,720
Speaker 23: you know, if you'll watch the governors, they had like

1250
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 23: a governor symposium forum and every one of the Dems

1251
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 23: was on board with everything that Governor Newsom did. It

1252
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 23: was just amazing, and God bless Hilton because he kept saying, look,

1253
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 23: you really need.

1254
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 4: More of this.

1255
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 23: You got four guys did and a parent that a're

1256
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 23: telling you they'll keep doing what they're doing and you'll

1257
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 23: keep paying high gas. Right, So I think he's making

1258
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 23: those inroads. Yeah, I believe that. We call it a

1259
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 23: gorilla primary. The top two vote getters get in. If

1260
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 23: we get both of them, I'll be surprised, but I

1261
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 23: know we'll get one well.

1262
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 4: And of course Chad Chads are getting catching fire from

1263
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 4: Steve Hilton because he took a knee during the whole

1264
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 4: George Floyd stuff.

1265
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 21: Yeah.

1266
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 23: I interviewed him on that and he said that the

1267
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 23: part of that was they were tricked into doing it.

1268
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 23: I'm thinking, you're the sheriff of one of the largest

1269
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 23: counties of the state. You've got tricked into that. Give

1270
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 23: me a break. And he said, number two, we also

1271
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 23: did it to tamp down the temperature. See you acquiesced

1272
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 23: the tamp down the temperature. You realize that's not how

1273
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 23: they take it. They take it as a win and

1274
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 23: that you're weak. So he's gonna have our time getting

1275
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 23: by a lot of Republicans with that.

1276
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 4: Joe, Before we let you go, let's go to the phones.

1277
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 4: We have Arlene in Gainesville, Georgia wants to weigh on

1278
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 4: that Pride flag story we talked about right off the top.

1279
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 4: Hi Arlene, what's on your mind today? Hi Todd?

1280
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 25: Well, you know I say, oh boy, could they flowing?

1281
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 25: But I am very upset because they have hijacks our rainbow.

1282
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 25: It was what is saying for in the bottle?

1283
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 4: Well, it's uh yeah, and that you're right about that, Arlene,

1284
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 4: And Joe, I know you're a good church going man

1285
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 4: as well, no doubt about it. I think they've they've

1286
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 4: stolen the true meaning of the rainbow, a God's promise

1287
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 4: to us.

1288
01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 23: Oh, totally agree. And you know you think about it though,

1289
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 23: what has Satan done from day one?

1290
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 3: Right?

1291
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 23: He twists God's word, you know what, He perverts God's word,

1292
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 23: and he's perverted the rainbow. And matter of fact, I

1293
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 23: think they're getting out of Rainbow territory. They have so

1294
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 23: many groups and colors on that flag anymore, you know,

1295
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 23: it's going to end up having to be a twenty

1296
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 23: five y fifty two foot flag by the time they

1297
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 23: get done.

1298
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Joe, good hearing from you. Where can

1315
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 4: there are people targeting white people? Well, I just want

1316
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 4: you to hear from Professor Britney Cooper. She is at

1317
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 4: Rutgers University. HER's salary paid for with your tax dollars.

Speaker 4: She is a Women's Gender and Sexual studies a professor.

1319
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 4: And this is how she feels about all of you

1320
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 4: people of the Caucasian persuasion. Professor.

1321
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:27,160
Speaker 17: Here is where I land most days about white people

1322
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 17: and actually have been helped in this by thinking about

1323
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 17: indigenous people.

1324
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 24: Right.

1325
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 17: See, part of the challenge around whiteness is that it

1326
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 17: totally skews our view of everything.

1327
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 18: Right.

1328
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:41,360
Speaker 17: I gave this like Ted talk about this some years back,

1329
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:42,599
Speaker 17: and one of the reasons I was trying to think

1330
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 17: about it is like the world didn't start when white

1331
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 17: people arrived in America and tried to tell all the

1332
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 17: rest of us how things were going to go. There

1333
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 17: were people out here making worlds Africans and indigenous people

1334
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:02,200
Speaker 17: being brilliant and you know, lie libraries and inventions and

1335
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,120
Speaker 17: you know, vibrant notions of humanity and cross cultural exchange,

1336
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 17: long before white people showed up being raggedy and violent

1337
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 17: and terrible and trying to take everything for.

1338
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 4: Everybody who you call it raggedy? Pardon me? You know

1339
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 4: that Just this blows my mind that someone like this

1340
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 4: is actually teaching young people at Rutgers University. And I

1341
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 4: can't imagine in a million years ever thinking like this

1342
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 4: about another race of people. But this is and this

1343
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 4: is not some sort of a rando, This is not

1344
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 4: a TikTok video. This is a professor at a fairly

1345
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 4: prestigious university, Rutgers, for crying out loud, and it's it's

1346
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 4: really really inappropriate, but beyond that, it's racist, and we've

1347
01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 4: got to call this out. Otherwise you're going to wake

1348
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 4: up one day and you're going to realize, wait a second,

1349
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:54,800
Speaker 4: I feel like a second class citizen in this world,

1350
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:57,519
Speaker 4: in this country, and you will be. You may be

1351
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 4: a third class citizen. So when we come back, I

1352
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 4: have some more audio, including Senator Corey Booker and also

1353
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:09,880
Speaker 4: an anti white activist who says, all of you white

1354
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 4: people need to be reprogrammed. So these are the conversations

1355
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 4: that are happening in the nation's academic community. You may

1356
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 4: not be aware, but you need to be. Stick around, everybody.

1357
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:21,400
Speaker 4: We'll be right back.

1358
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1359
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1360
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 9: That's Amarican.

1361
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 4: It starts all right, Welcome everybody. Don Lemon showing up

1362
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 4: at the court today. He's being arraigned for storming a

1363
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 4: Christian church and causing mayhem and he is facing some

1364
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 4: big time trouble. Everybody. Welcome. Great to have you with

1365
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,679

Speaker 4: is our telephone number. So anyway, and I kid you not,

1368
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 4: the video of outside the scene outside the courthouse there

1369
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 4: in Minneapolis is rather shocking. You have all of these,

1370
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 4: all of these gogs, these gals of girth, and they're

1371
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 4: waving well, I'm trying to figure out a polite way

1372
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:49,759
Speaker 4: to say this, they're waving male appendages. I'm not sure

1373
01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 4: I understand the context. I'm not sure we want to

1374
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:57,000
Speaker 4: understand the context. But that's what's happening right now outside

1375
01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:02,559
Speaker 4: the courthouse is Don lemon Is is arranged. What a mess,

1376
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen. What a mess. Also, just mere moments ago,

1377
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 4: the Ugandan Muslim who's in charge of New York City,

1378
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 4: Zoron Ma'amdami, is standing before the cameras demanding that a

1379
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 4: suspect be released, no charges filed.

1380
01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 7: Now.

1381
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,360
Speaker 4: The suspect tried to stab a police officer, an NYPD

1382
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 4: officer with a butcher knife. Zoron Ma'amdami says that the

1383
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 4: suspect is a good man and should be released. This

1384
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 4: is insanity. So anyway, the guy and all of this

1385
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 4: is on bodycam footage, and it's very clear that this guy,

1386
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 4: his name is Jabez Chakra Bordie, and the bodycam video

1387
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:56,600
Speaker 4: shows him charging the NYPD officer with a knife. The

1388
01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 4: officer had to discharge his weapon to protect himself. The

1389
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 4: district attorney is seeking criminal charges against Chakra Boardie. They're

1390
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 4: alleging he has schizophrenia, and the mayor seems to agree, says, nope,

1391
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 4: this guy needs to go free. He needs to be

1392
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,639
Speaker 4: back out on the street so we can stab another

1393
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 4: police officer. I'm telling you you folks in New York City,

1394
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 4: and by the way, they here's how bad it is.

1395
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,880
Speaker 4: And back when I lived in New York City, it

1396
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 4: didn't matter if and we had a blizzard. We had

1397
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 4: a blizzard there one years, multiple feet of snow. Several

1398
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 4: days later, everything was cleared, everything cleared. And the reason

1399
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 4: why is they had a system in place to do

1400
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 4: all of that. Is a very complex system. So man

1401
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,600
Speaker 4: Dommy gets elected, nobody knows what to do. And so

1402
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 4: now you've got vehicles that are literally encased in giant

1403
01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 4: blocks of ice, Dylan, They're having to use jackhammers, literal

1404
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 4: jackhammers to break up the ice in New York City. Unbelievable.

1405
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 4: What's going on there? So you get what you vote

1406
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,120
Speaker 4: for folks. You wanted somebody who had no experience leading

1407
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 4: any sort of a city, less much less the largest

1408
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 4: city in America, and well, this is this is what happens.

1409
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 4: It's it's brilliant. So look, I want to go back

1410
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 4: and touch on something I mentioned in the previous segment,

1411
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:24,840
Speaker 4: and I just I truly believe that we're all made

1412
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 4: in God's image and it angers me when people try

1413
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 4: to use race as a wedge, and many people on

1414
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 4: the left accuse me of being a white nationalist, a

1415
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 4: white supremacist because I'm pointing out these kinds of stories.

1416
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 4: The reality is, if you take away the word white

1417
01:19:43,760 --> 01:19:46,879
Speaker 4: and insert any other race, it would be a national

1418
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 4: news story. But because they're coming after white people there,

1419
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 4: it seems as though that is okay. I mean, because

1420
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 4: that's what these generations have been taught in their schools

1421
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 4: through critical race theory. White people are the oppressors, minorities

1422
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 4: are the oppressed. There's a video circulating on X and

1423
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 4: it's brilliant. They went up to a white chick on

1424
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 4: one of these campuses and they said, all right, honey,

1425
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 4: they're they're proposing. They say, honey, okay, okay, darling. Uh

1426
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 4: they're okay, stop stop startings, okay, Buttercup. So they're so

1427
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 4: they were asking this white gal, this white student chick,

1428
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 4: and they said, hey, they're they're building housing that's only

1429
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,720
Speaker 4: for black students. Are you okay with that? Are you

1430
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 4: okay with with segregating the black students into their own housing,

1431
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 4: you know, dormitory and the the white The white chick says, well, yeah,

1432
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:47,600
Speaker 4: of course that makes all the sense of the world.

1433
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 4: All right, then would you also be in favor of

1434
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 4: building a dormitory exclusively for white students? Hell, dare you

1435
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 4: that is racist? Who do you think you are? And

1436
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 4: she like explodes at the dime. That's that's what we're

1437
01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 4: dealing with here. So anyway, there is an anti race

1438
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 4: activist and she came out yesterday and announced that all

1439
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:14,480
Speaker 4: of you white people need to be reprogrammed because apparently

1440
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 4: we're very violent people. Did you know that, Dylan, I

1441
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:21,000
Speaker 4: didn't know that. Yeah, we're pretty violent.

1442
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 3: This is news to me.

1443
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 4: I go, in the six years that I've been here

1444
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:30,120
Speaker 4: in our beautiful palatial broadcasting bunker, I've never thrown anybody

1445
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 4: out of the second floor window.

1446
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can concur I can confirm that that's true.

1447
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 4: I may have wanted to, but I never did.

1448
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:39,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, self control, yes, disciplined. Man?

1449
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:45,719
Speaker 4: Is that yoga pilates class? It does that to you.

1450
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 3: Right?

1451
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 4: So anyway, here's here's the anti race activist. Take a

1452
01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 4: listen to cut three.

1453
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,759
Speaker 26: White people do not inherently have empathy. And it's something

1454
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 26: that I've talked about for more any year, and one

1455
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 26: of the reasons is because it has not been modeled.

1456
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:07,799
Speaker 26: If you look at the epigenetic nature of white folks,

1457
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 26: especially European Americans, white American people, there is this longstanding

1458
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 26: history of violence, and there has been no effort, no intentions,

1459
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 26: no work for white people to unpack it. So it

1460
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 26: doesn't really matter what type of community, It doesn't matter

1461
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,800
Speaker 26: what the effort. White people don't have any practice in

1462
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 26: doing anything that is anti oppressive. The things they have

1463
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 26: practice doing together is violence, right. It is coming together

1464
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,519
Speaker 26: to do what overthrow the government, coming together to do

1465
01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:51,440
Speaker 26: what perform a lynching, coming together to what perform violence,

1466
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 26: win a war, you know, play a game, do a

1467
01:22:55,640 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 26: thing right to others. What has to happen first and

1468
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 26: foremost before there's any movement for white folks around change,

1469
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:11,480
Speaker 26: around justice, around progress is they have to first unpack

1470
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 26: that inherent violence that sits in them. Now, they cannot

1471
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 26: do that right unless they're under some sort of leadership, coaching,

1472
01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 26: and mentorship of people who are more marginalized than they are.

1473
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 26: So what happens in these other spaces where you may

1474
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 26: have neurodivergent folks or queer folks or you know whatever, Right,

1475
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 26: there are all these other marginalized identities that people fail

1476
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 26: to realize that unless you are black, those other marginalized

1477
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 26: identities do not outweigh the marginalization of Black people. And

1478
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:55,959
Speaker 26: when Black people are queer or neuro divergent, or you know, older,

1479
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,320
Speaker 26: or in a fat body or anything else, right, the

1480
01:23:59,400 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 26: marginalisation is greater than anybody.

1481
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:06,000
Speaker 4: That's what all right, So there you go. That is

1482
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,600
Speaker 4: an avowed racist, right there, Ladies in Zelivin, You're not

1483
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 4: going to hear anybody else calling her that. That's that's

1484
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,120
Speaker 4: her thinking, That's that's what she is all about. But

1485
01:24:15,200 --> 01:24:18,759
Speaker 4: we're all about facts here on this program. And according

1486
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:23,799
Speaker 4: to the US Census Bureau in twenty nineteen, black people

1487
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 4: made up twelve point two percent of the US population. However,

1488
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:34,639
Speaker 4: they represented twenty six point six percent of the total arrest,

1489
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 4: including fifty one percent of the murder arrest, fifty two

1490
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,760
Speaker 4: percent of the robbery arrest, twenty eight percent of the

1491
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,879
Speaker 4: burglary arrest, and twenty eight percent of motor vehicle thefts,

1492
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:52,799
Speaker 4: forty two percent of prostitution arrest, and twenty six percent

1493
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,520
Speaker 4: of drug arrest. And that information came from the FBI's

1494
01:24:56,720 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 4: uniform Crime Report, and if you want to look it

1495
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 4: up for yourself, it's table forty three. So that is

1496
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,599
Speaker 4: the reality she talks about. And again we're talking percentage wise,

1497
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:11,800
Speaker 4: percentage wise, so she can say whatever she wants to say,

1498
01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:16,919
Speaker 4: but she is not privileged to her own set of facts.

1499
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 4: And the facts are that white people are not the

1500
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 4: most violent demographic in this country. If you want to

1501
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 4: have that conversation, we're going to have that conversation. But

1502
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 4: to go out there and try to portray white people

1503
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 4: or any other people group for that matter, and try

1504
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 4: to convince people based upon what your opinion, no, no, no,

1505
01:25:38,320 --> 01:25:40,839
Speaker 4: you don't know. You don't come to the argument with opinion.

1506
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 4: You come armed with facts. Ladies and gentlemen. Here's Senator

1507
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 4: Corey Booker, and the Senator is shocked by this notion

1508
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 4: that the reason why they're bringing in his party is

1509
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,560
Speaker 4: bringing in tens of millions of illegals is to replace Americans.

1510
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 4: He doesn't buy that as an argument. Take a listen.

1511
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 27: What do you mean when you say that you believe

1512
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 27: in the great replacement theory?

1513
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 3: Senator?

1514
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:14,600
Speaker 28: Thank you for that question. This refers to the intentional

1515
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 28: demographic replacement of Europeans in Europe. It was invented by

1516
01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:22,599
Speaker 28: Renault Kamu, who was a French scholar.

1517
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 27: You think there's an active effort to quote unquote replace

1518
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 27: Americans right now?

1519
01:26:31,280 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 28: Senator. I think the Democratic Party, through its immigration policies,

1520
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 28: has certainly set in signs of that.

1521
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 27: And I don't understand that. So you are saying that

1522
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 27: if more Americans are black or Latino Americans, that that

1523
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:54,560
Speaker 27: somehow weakens America because it puts whites in a minority.

1524
01:26:56,920 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 4: So that was a gentleman by the name of Jeremy Carl.

1525
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 4: He's a member of a think tank and he is

1526
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:10,679
Speaker 4: up for a for a nomination for a position within

1527
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:15,400
Speaker 4: the Trump administration. It looks as though, however, that Republicans

1528
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 4: are going to squash the nomination. I mean, look, the

1529
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 4: reality of all of this and again, Jeremy Kyle is

1530
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 4: upfar role in the State Department. Is they're saying that

1531
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 4: his language is racist, sexist, and anti Semitic. But the

1532
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 4: reality is what he said is true. What he said

1533
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 4: is absolutely true when it comes to ideas like the

1534
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 4: replacement theory. Now you can agree or disagree, but the fact,

1535
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:50,439
Speaker 4: the facts are that there are tens of millions of

1536
01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 4: people from other countries that are being brought here illegally

1537
01:27:54,680 --> 01:27:58,040
Speaker 4: to undermine our way of life, to undermine the very

1538
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 4: foundations of our nation. Carl wrote about the Great Replacementicans.

1539
01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 4: They are calling it a conspiracy theory that posits there

1540
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 4: is a plot of foot to intentionally bring non white

1541
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 4: immigrants into Western countries to replace white populations. So if

1542
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 4: you don't believe that, if that's not the case, then

1543
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 4: could you please explain why all of a sudden, the

1544
01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 4: Democrats are allowing tens of millions of illegals to breach

1545
01:28:29,320 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 4: our borders and come into our country. And by the way,

1546
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 4: this notion that the Somali immigrants make our country stronger,

1547
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 4: could you explain that to me while you're doing that,

1548
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 4: Because most of the Somali immigrants that were brought into

1549
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 4: this country are on government assistance, they're on welfare. So

1550
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 4: that means money that you're working hard for, money that

1551
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 4: you're paying in the form of taxes, is going to

1552
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:02,719
Speaker 4: provide welfare to Somali immigrants, when in fact, that money

1553
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 4: could be used to, Oh, I don't know, help the

1554
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 4: homeless people of America, help our military veterans. There are

1555
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 4: lots of other things that we could be doing with

1556
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 4: that money. So anyway, that's a little bit about what's

1557
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 4: going on. You're not going to see any of this

1558
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,200
Speaker 4: in the national use, but it's happening. You need to

1559
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 4: be aware of it, and especially if you're a person

1560
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 4: of their Caucasian persuasion, because they're putting a target on you,

1561
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 4: and that's only going to get worse the longer they

1562
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 4: keep teaching critical race theory in our schools. We got

1563
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 4: to take a break. Nine oh one two six zero

1564
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 4: five nine two six. That's nine oh one two six

1565
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 4: zero five, nine two six. This is the Ton Sterns show.

Speaker 15: L it's for the way you look at Lee. Oh

01:31:43,320 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 4: station there near Ashville. It's in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Let's

1600
01:31:49,320 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 4: go to John in Kentucky. Hi, John, what's on your mind?

1601
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:59,439
Speaker 5: Hey there, Todd, It's open lines Friday. First of all,

1602
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,760
Speaker 5: I want to say Valentine's Day that's coming up. I

1603
01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,759
Speaker 5: want to say Happy Valentine's Day to my wife Cindy,

1604
01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 5: and I was a blated birthday. I didn't forget her

1605
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 5: birthday though yesterday.

1606
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 19: So I want to tell you that she didn't kill me.

1607
01:32:14,080 --> 01:32:18,080
Speaker 5: Well, especially living with marine Need I say more? Okay? Anyhow,

1608
01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:21,760
Speaker 5: I just want to talk about Greg Bavino, the commander

1609
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 5: of the Field Forces in Minnesota, and personally, I think

1610
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 5: what they did is they threw him under the bus.

1611
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:34,120
Speaker 5: I believe the Trump administration did surrender to Governor Waltz

1612
01:32:34,400 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 5: and Mayor Fry. They say they're going to allow our

1613
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 5: ice agents to go in and take the prisoners, the criminal,

1614
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 5: illegal aliens. Unfortunately, as they're going through the front door,

1615
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 5: they're going to release the prisoners out the back door.

1616
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 5: And to me, this is just going to empower the

1617
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 5: people on the left. And personally, I think a lot

1618
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 5: of these Republicans I call them so called rhinos that

1619
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 5: back up this plan, I really feel that they're scared

1620
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,960
Speaker 5: about the re election year, and I really feel that

1621
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 5: they are dropping the ball on the real American citizens

1622
01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 5: that care about this nation, the legal immigrants, the ones

1623
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 5: that have been naturalized, and everything else. I don't know,

1624
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 5: Like you said, the establishment media has refused to interview

1625
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 5: people that have pled countries, that are communists, that are

1626
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 5: that are you know, whatever. But I just really feel

1627
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,000
Speaker 5: bad for Greg Bavino. What I called them, the field

1628
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:30,599
Speaker 5: general is kind of like when Eisenhower really patent after

1629
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:34,719
Speaker 5: World War Two. It's kind of like President Trump sent

1630
01:33:34,960 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 5: General Eisenhower to relieve General Patten in Minnesota.

1631
01:33:39,600 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 4: Well, let me say this, John, and that music means

1632
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 4: we've got a scoot to break here. I have no

1633
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 4: doubt that's what we did. And we capitulated. We surrendered

1634
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 4: to the media, to the Democrats, and to establishment Republicans.

1635
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:55,600
Speaker 4: They thought this issue was going to hurt them in

1636
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 4: the midterms. This is the issue that everybody cares about.

1637
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 4: Everybody agrees. The illegals have to go. Gotta take a break.

1638
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 4: We'll be right back, all right. I have a question

1639
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 4: for you everybody. Do you have a work husband or

1640
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 4: a work wife. The reason why I asked that is

1641
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 4: there's a bit of a controversy brewing over work husbands

1642
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:32,639
Speaker 4: and work wives in Valentine's Day, where now apparently they're

1643
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:35,639
Speaker 4: providing cards. So Dylan, you can go to the Hallmark

1644
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:39,600
Speaker 4: store and you can get yourself a card, a Valentine's

1645
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:41,040
Speaker 4: Day card for your work wife.

1646
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 3: I didn't get you a card.

1647
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 4: Sorry, thank you. Appreciate that. Well, I wasn't thinking about me.

1648
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 3: But I know what you're trying to say.

1649
01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 4: Anyway, card factory they have created these cards. They believe

1650
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:55,240
Speaker 4: it to be one of the most controversial greeting cards

1651
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 4: in recent memory. More so because Valentine's Day has been

1652
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 4: thrown into the mix and the card says for my

1653
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:04,559
Speaker 4: work husband on Valentine's Day.

1654
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 3: That's problematic.

1655
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 4: Doesn't it seem like you're cheating?

1656
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 3: That is that some would argue. I would argue that's

1657
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 3: a form of cheating.

1658
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 4: All of the tension came to the service after a

1659
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 4: TikTok video showed a Valentine's Day card on sale at

1660
01:35:18,360 --> 01:35:22,120
Speaker 4: card factory addressing a work husband or a work wife.

1661
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 4: Now the second card reads for my work wife on

1662
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Speaker 4: Valentine's Day. I finally found someone just as inappropriate as me. Hmmm,

1663
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 4: one person writing in HR is going to be busy

1664
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 4: this month. Another said this is foul. Another said it

1665
01:35:41,120 --> 01:35:44,759
Speaker 4: was a dear mistress card. I'm wondering what would happen

1666
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 4: if your actual, real, you know, legal wife found out

1667
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 4: about it.

1668
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 3: Or if you accidentally gave your your real wife the

1669
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:53,759
Speaker 3: work wife.

1670
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 4: Car Oh, that would be bad.

1671
01:35:55,160 --> 01:36:01,200
Speaker 3: Little mix. Whoops yeahop seep on the couch forever.

1672
01:36:01,720 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 4: Wow. One commenter said ex boyfriend swore nothing was going

1673
01:36:07,080 --> 01:36:10,080
Speaker 4: on with his work wife. Three months after we broke up,

1674
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:14,839
Speaker 4: they were together. It's always the work wife. It's always

1675
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 4: the work wife. The idea that it's never two single

1676
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 4: people of these situations was echoed repeatedly on TikTok, suggesting

1677
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 4: the phrase carries emotional weight far beyond a joke. One

1678
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,840
Speaker 4: person did, right, I don't see the problem here. I

1679
01:36:31,920 --> 01:36:34,360
Speaker 4: have a work wife and work husband and then a

1680
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:38,960
Speaker 4: real husband. So is she by then is she bisexual?

1681
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 4: If she has a work wife and a work husband.

1682
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 3: Maybe it's an open relationship.

1683
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:47,040
Speaker 4: It's a thropple.

1684
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 3: People need titles nowadays.

1685
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 4: Wow, well, okay, fair enough. So anyway, I'm just wondering,

1686
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 4: do you is that like a thing. I know it's

1687
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:01,799
Speaker 4: not in our little in our world, but do people,

1688
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,720
Speaker 4: I mean, do you guys have work work wives and

1689
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 4: work husbands out there? I don't know. That's just asking

1690
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 4: for trouble in my opinion. All right, nine oh one

1691
01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 4: two six zero five, nine two six. Our telephone number,

1692
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 4: that's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

1693
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:23,439
Speaker 4: Let's go to Bobby and Nashville. Bobby, what's on your

1694
01:37:23,439 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 4: mind today?

1695
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 24: Oh, good afternoon, TI. How you doing today?

1696
01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 4: I'm well, thank you for asking all rights.

1697
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 24: As we're gone to the subject matter of your videos.

1698
01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:41,200
Speaker 24: You're talking about Gen Z and not being you know,

1699
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 24: as intelligent as the generation before them, and and I

1700
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:51,120
Speaker 24: know I'm in generation millennial and uh, and my question

1701
01:37:51,720 --> 01:37:55,080
Speaker 24: to you is, what do you think is gonna happen

1702
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 24: when you know, get when my when my generation ends

1703
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:03,519
Speaker 24: and Generation Z is gonna eventually have to replace the

1704
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 24: current Fomers and gen X and silent generation that we

1705
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 24: have in Washington as our political leaders.

1706
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:17,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think the country is Look, here's here's the challenge.

1707
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 4: I do think the country is heading towards a far

1708
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 4: left lurch even after Trump lay's office, and I think

1709
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 4: it could be prevented. But a lot of that depends

1710
01:38:29,400 --> 01:38:32,640
Speaker 4: on just how conservative Generation Z is really going to be.

1711
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:35,559
Speaker 4: You know, they're saying it's the most conservative generations since

1712
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:40,679
Speaker 4: World War Two, So I don't know that's really gonna

1713
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 4: that'll depend on gen Z. But when you throw the

1714
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 4: millennials into the mix, and when you throw gen Z,

1715
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,639
Speaker 4: I think we've got a leftward lurch coming down the road.

1716
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:53,760
Speaker 24: Yes, And I'm just kind of hoping that, you know, eventually,

1717
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:58,719
Speaker 24: when Trump's term is up and our next millennial president

1718
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 24: hopefully is banned, that's gonna be behind.

1719
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 4: Him, could be. I you know, the the other part

1720
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 4: of this is the just the sheer dumbing down of

1721
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 4: of our kids and of subsequent generations. And we saw that,

1722
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:16,879
Speaker 4: we've seen that happening, especially when it comes to government

1723
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:20,960
Speaker 4: and American history. But this isn't even that. This is

1724
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 4: just about the techniques and how you're educating the children.

1725
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,400
Speaker 4: And I'm afraid we're gonna we're gonna have a pretty

1726
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 4: ignorant population before too much, too longer.

1727
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 24: Yes, yeah, that's that's kind of what I fear here. Yeah,

1728
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:39,479
Speaker 24: And I and I do take a couple of college

1729
01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 24: classes online even and yeah, even today and and uh,

1730
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 24: and I'm just trying to you know, read and study

1731
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:54,040
Speaker 24: my subject matter. And and it's like every chance, every time,

1732
01:39:55,479 --> 01:39:58,559
Speaker 24: every time I'm trying to study and about the uh

1733
01:39:58,720 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 24: subject matter, I kind of see some random facts or

1734
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:09,320
Speaker 24: something about the you know, far live LGBT community and life.

1735
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 24: What do they got to do? What do they have

1736
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:16,960
Speaker 24: to do necessarily with how you know, we would get

1737
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,000
Speaker 24: eventually finding employees.

1738
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, Well, yesterday we had we had doctor

1739
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,400
Speaker 4: Michael Yusef on the show, and it is if it's

1740
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:28,839
Speaker 4: worth your time to go back and listen to the podcast,

1741
01:40:28,920 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 4: and if you haven't downloaded our podcasters subscribed to it,

1742
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:35,160
Speaker 4: you really should. It's free of charge. But doctor Yusef

1743
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:40,000
Speaker 4: specifically talking about the LGBT crowd and how they're playing

1744
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,240
Speaker 4: a dangerous game right now, Bobby, especially when it comes

1745
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 4: to them embracing Islam and marching along with the Islamist

1746
01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 4: and these protests. They don't understand at the end of

1747
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,759
Speaker 4: the day that they are not going to be welcomed

1748
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:59,559
Speaker 4: with open arms into the Islamist society. So anyway, Bobby,

1749
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 4: I got a run, Thank you for that call. This

1750
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:07,680
Speaker 4: story out of New Mexico has me just no, I'm

1751
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,679
Speaker 4: not enraged it Friday. You can't be enraged on a Friday,

1752
01:41:10,720 --> 01:41:13,679
Speaker 4: but it certainly has me puzzled. So for the first

1753
01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 4: time in generations, and I mean generations, there will not

1754
01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 4: be a Republican running for the US Senate in New Mexico.

1755
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,640
Speaker 4: Apparently they had four contenders, but you know, you have

1756
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:27,400
Speaker 4: to meet all these criteria. You got to get your

1757
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:30,840
Speaker 4: your signatures, and none of them were able to get

1758
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 4: signatures for whatever reason. So now, as a result of that,

1759
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 4: the Republicans and by the way, Kamala Harris only won

1760
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 4: New Mexico by six points here, so that tells me

1761
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 4: that the state could have been in play. You know,

1762
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:50,080
Speaker 4: they did have a Republican governor Martinez, Susannah Martinez years back.

1763
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:55,200
Speaker 4: So my question is to Tim Scott, I mean, this

1764
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:59,559
Speaker 4: is his job and the RNC and the National Senate

1765
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 4: Campaign Committee. What are what are you people doing out there?

1766
01:42:04,240 --> 01:42:07,840
Speaker 4: In all seriousness? How in the world is it that

1767
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:11,720
Speaker 4: you failed to realize that there was not a qualified

1768
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:15,280
Speaker 4: candidate running for the US Senate on the Republican side

1769
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 4: of the aisle. That's that is insane to me. Apparently

1770
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:26,439
Speaker 4: all four of the candidates who wanted to run were

1771
01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:31,040
Speaker 4: not qualified to run, and there you go. So anyway,

1772
01:42:31,160 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 4: it could have been a very competitive race for the

1773
01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 4: Democrats and now the guys running unopposed. What are you

1774
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:40,040
Speaker 4: going to do, folks, Republicans? You got to show up

1775
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:44,040
Speaker 4: for these rates. You got to show up. And I know,

1776
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:48,400
Speaker 4: and I know this firsthand that you know, the Republican leadership,

1777
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 4: especially on the local level, I don't think they appreciate,

1778
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,799
Speaker 4: you know, talk radio. I don't think they appreciate people

1779
01:42:55,880 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 4: that are out there speaking to the grassroots and speaking

1780
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 4: to the people that actually get up, get dressed, and

1781
01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 4: go and vote on election day. And it's almost like

1782
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,400
Speaker 4: there's this, there's almost there's this. It's really not even

1783
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,800
Speaker 4: a country club mentality as much as it is a

1784
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 4: plantation mentality. You will do as we tell you to do, Republicans.

1785
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,680
Speaker 4: I just don't play that game. And my philosophy is,

1786
01:43:20,760 --> 01:43:22,560
Speaker 4: you know, if if you don't like me, if you

1787
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 4: don't like the fact that I'm a talk radio host, okay, great,

1788
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 4: you know, see you later. Good luck to you. Hope

1789
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 4: it works out, really do, but that's ultimately on you.

1790
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,080
Speaker 4: My philosophy is, don't go where you're not welcome. And

1791
01:43:37,120 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 4: that's one of the reasons why, you know, I don't

1792
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 4: do local or Republican politics anymore. You know, it's, uh,

1793
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 4: we got too many other things going on, so people

1794
01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:50,559
Speaker 4: can you know, people can play those games, but we

1795
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 4: don't play those games.

1796
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:52,640
Speaker 3: We do not.

1797
01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Gary in Daytona Beach, Florida. Hi, Gary,

1798
01:43:58,320 --> 01:43:59,480
Speaker 4: what's on your mind?

1799
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, just a couple of comments, Todd, I'll hear what

1800
01:44:04,080 --> 01:44:07,720
Speaker 9: you have to say. Number One, with Katie Courage and

1801
01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:10,479
Speaker 9: the rest of the people having a heart attack over

1802
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,920
Speaker 9: the percentages of criminals that they call us that were

1803
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 9: picked up by ice. If people look close and even

1804
01:44:18,720 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 9: take a few minutes, they'll see that d uy where

1805
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 9: you've killed somebody. If you're illegal, it's not a violent crime.

1806
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 9: According to the way they've arrested people in these jurisdictions.

1807
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 9: And a grand theft is not a violent crime. So

1808
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:38,879
Speaker 9: by the time you get done with what I consider

1809
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,439
Speaker 9: violent crimes, meaning making somebody out of a car and

1810
01:44:41,520 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 9: stealing their car or duy where you've killed the family

1811
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 9: of three or four being a violent crime. I just

1812
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 9: wish when they brought toddline, when they brought No Director

1813
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 9: Lines to Capitol Hill, the Republicans would have highlighted that

1814
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,040
Speaker 9: and spent a few moments letting people know that if

1815
01:44:58,120 --> 01:45:03,920
Speaker 9: they actually considered the crimes that happened as violent, the

1816
01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:07,320
Speaker 9: percentages would be a lot higher. Plus I would love

1817
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:10,880
Speaker 9: to have had the Republicans show some PowerPoint or some

1818
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 9: videos of office ice officers being hit in the face

1819
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:17,400
Speaker 9: of water bottles and still nobody being arrested, and the

1820
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:19,960
Speaker 9: stuff that they had to put up with because the

1821
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 9: Democrats said that they were too quick to arrest people

1822
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:28,120
Speaker 9: and hand cuffing and zip time, and the Republicans should

1823
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:31,720
Speaker 9: have come in a lot harder with support for him, you.

1824
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,640
Speaker 4: Know, Brian, Yeah, this is I'm glad you brought that up,

1825
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 4: because because you're right, the Republicans they really came to

1826
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:43,680
Speaker 4: these these kinds of hearings unprepared, and we need to

1827
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 4: come armed with facts and information. And right now I

1828
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 4: just see a a Republican party in the throes of chaos.

1829
01:45:51,600 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 4: And it's from the national level all the way down

1830
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:57,200
Speaker 4: to the local level. There is no messaging. It's sort

1831
01:45:57,240 --> 01:45:59,839
Speaker 4: of a free for all. And if they're not careful,

1832
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 4: if they do not get it together, then the voters

1833
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:05,519
Speaker 4: are not going to show up an election day. And

1834
01:46:05,560 --> 01:46:08,000
Speaker 4: the issue for me is not the Democrats. The issue

1835
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:13,559
Speaker 4: is getting Republicans motivated and getting them excited about getting

1836
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 4: out to vote. And I, Gary, I just don't see that.

1837
01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 9: You're right, I don't see it.

1838
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:23,400

Speaker 4: Look well, they had the it's a massive museum. And

1869
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 4: then you got the Graceland, the house itself, and they

1870
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 4: were just really enthralled with the Jungle Room.

1871
01:48:22,600 --> 01:48:24,800
Speaker 3: It's just sad that I've never been to Graceland. I've

1872
01:48:24,840 --> 01:48:27,400
Speaker 3: been here my whole life. But I'll make it done.

1873

Speaker 4: You gotta go down. You know your grandfather used to

1874
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:31,360
Speaker 4: used to hang out at Graceland.

1875
01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 3: That does not surprise me.

1876
01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:36,719
Speaker 4: Back in the day. Yeah, and you're a great uncle.

1877
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:39,799
Speaker 4: My dad used to used to hang out with Elvis

1878
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 4: playing a band with his cousins.

1879
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 3: Wow, a little bit of Starn's history.

1880
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,439
Speaker 4: A little Stearn's history there at the at Graceland. So

1881
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 4: a lot going on there by the way, ladies, A

1882
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:53,000
Speaker 4: little Happy Valentine's Day. We were going through and we're

1883
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 4: trying to find some fun stuff to do on Valentine's Day.

1884
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:59,639
Speaker 4: And I came across the older anybody remember the Newlywed game?

1885
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:02,719
Speaker 4: It was. It was one of those games and Dylan.

1886
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:07,439
Speaker 4: Back in the day, children were not allowed to children

1887
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 4: were not allowed to watch certain shows, and this was

1888
01:49:12,760 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 4: one of those shows. It was a little risque, but

1889
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 4: I believe it came on like during the daytime. So

1890
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 4: if we were at home for like summer break or whatever,

1891
01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:22,719
Speaker 4: we had had to go outside and play. So anyway,

1892
01:49:22,920 --> 01:49:25,800
Speaker 4: this was a scene off of the newly Went game.

1893
01:49:27,120 --> 01:49:32,080
Speaker 4: My husband say, he is basically more urban or rural? Kevin,

1894
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:35,880
Speaker 4: I don't know what they mean.

1895
01:49:41,280 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 3: You know it? You married?

1896
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:43,240
Speaker 4: What do you think?

1897
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:47,560
Speaker 15: Heck, he's urban.

1898
01:49:47,400 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 4: He's urban.

1899
01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:58,920
Speaker 11: How long has he been that way?

1900
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:02,240
Speaker 2: Do you think there's anything he can do about it?

1901
01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:04,240
Speaker 25: He went to a doctor.

1902
01:50:04,320 --> 01:50:04,840
Speaker 4: Oh you didn't.

1903
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:17,599
Speaker 23: Did the doctor give him anything for urban?

1904
01:50:18,960 --> 01:50:20,120
Speaker 10: He gave me something.

1905
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,759
Speaker 4: So, Dylan, here's the thing you never want to say, Mommy,

1906
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 4: what what did he give her? Go play outside, Go

1907
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:34,679
Speaker 4: play in the cove?

1908
01:50:34,920 --> 01:50:37,559
Speaker 3: Props to that host, I mean, how do you run

1909
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 3: into that where she's like, I don't actually know what

1910
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 3: you mean.

1911
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 4: That's the great Bob you Banks? Who was he? I

1912
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 4: think he hosted a lot of different game shows back

1913
01:50:46,800 --> 01:50:48,720
Speaker 4: in the day. You know he is still alive. He's

1914
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,880
Speaker 4: eighty eight years old, Bob you Banks. But back in

1915
01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 4: the day, Dylan, the game shows were so different than

1916
01:50:56,880 --> 01:51:00,920
Speaker 4: what we had today. They're like homogenized. Yeah, because you

1917
01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 4: had shows like I know somebody's going to remember match

1918
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:08,760
Speaker 4: Game with was it? Gene Rayburn was the host and

1919
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 4: they used to the contestants had a celebrity panel. They

1920
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 4: had like six they had like regular civilian contestants and

1921
01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:19,599
Speaker 4: then the celebrities, and they would be smoking and literally

1922
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 4: drinking on set alcohol. So the longer the show went on,

1923
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:28,240
Speaker 4: or if they were doing if they were taping multiple.

1924
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:31,400
Speaker 3: Shows, oh god, I can only imagine.

1925
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:34,120
Speaker 4: It got it got insane. But anyway, the Newlywed Game,

1926
01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 4: it went on for years. But you can't beat the

1927
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 4: early versions because they were you know, they were they

1928
01:51:39,080 --> 01:51:41,680
Speaker 4: were talking about things you just really weren't used to

1929
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:43,000
Speaker 4: having people talk about.

1930
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:45,760
Speaker 3: Can't say stuff on TV anymore. And the sets were cool,

1931
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 3: I mean the color and like you know from the

1932
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 3: seventies and eighties, those kind of shows. It's cool to

1933
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 3: watch clips and like see like how people actually how

1934
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:56,080
Speaker 3: the humor and how the humors evolved.

1935
01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:58,960
Speaker 4: That whole vibe. Yeah, all right, good stuff, all right, folks,
