1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: From the mighty nine to ninety broadcast centers.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: You're waking up in Starns Country with Todd Starns.

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 3: And good morning everybody. Welcome, Welcome to Starne Country. I'm

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: Todd Stearns and we are broadcasting this morning from the

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: Principal Toyota, Memphis Studio. If you are looking for a

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 3: great car, I want you to go and visit my

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: friend Todd Lockner. We have so much, so much to

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: talk about today. Of course, a lot of news happening

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: on the national level where Senate Republicans, a majority leader

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: John thun is pushing back now against the President and

11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: the American people over the Save Act. Now, this act

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: would require voter ID. If you wanted to go and

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: vote in an election, you would have to show your ID,

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 3: and you would have to show proof of citizenship. And

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 3: for whatever reason, and I have a theory about why,

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: and I'll share that in just a moment, but the

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: Senate majority Senate Republican leadership is simply not going to budge.

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 3: And that means you're still going to have voter fraud.

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 3: You're going to have illegals voting in your elections. And

20
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: this is a piece of legislation that an overwhelming percentage

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: of the American people actually support eighty three percent. As

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, an overwhelming number of minority voters

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: also support voter ID laws. And the reason why is

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: they understand that a lot of people coming across that

25
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: southern border are voting in our elections. So here's the

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 3: homework assignment for today, because Senate leadership has to go

27
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: at this point. If they're going to stand in the

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: way of not only the President's agenda, but if they're

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: also going to stand in the way of securing our elections,

30
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: they got to go. And you need to call Senator

31
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: Blackburn's office, you need to call Senator Haggerty's office, and

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: you need to tell them to take the lead and

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: removing Senate leadership. This is a very dangerous thing for

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: the republic ladies and gentlemen, and I am telling you,

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 3: if the Republicans keep fooling around, they're going to find

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: out in the midterm elections. It's really that's it's really

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: that simple. So look, we've got some a beautiful story

38
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: to share with you. A couple of things happening in

39
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: the mid South. I'm going to get to those in

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: just a moment. But I do want to take just

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: a moment and talk about something that that has been

42
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: on my mind and something that's just been bothering me.

43
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: If that's okay, it's you know, I don't want to.

44
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: I don't like taking moments of personal privilege too often

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 3: on this program. But today I just I need to

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: get some things off my chest. And you know, one

47
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: of the you know, it's been six years, almost six

48
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 3: years since I purchased KWHAM, and when I when I

49
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: bought the radio station, I knew right away that I

50
00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: wanted to give conservatives a platform here in the South

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: because when you look at all of the media outlets,

52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: and this is nothing against I'm not disparaging any of

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: the media outlets. I'm just saying that most of the

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: people they hire are liberals. Therefore they never give conservatives

55
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: a fair shake and most I think pretty much all

56
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: of them, and that's unfortunate. And therefore Republicans especially had

57
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: no platform to talk about the big issues of the day,

58
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: to promote their candidates, and to get their message out.

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: So one of the things I promised to do when

60
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: I bought KWAN was to provide a platform to become

61
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: the conservative blowtorch of the mid South. And I knew.

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: I knew that was going to anger people. I knew

63
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: that was going to set off the Democrats. It was

64
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: going to trigger the Democrats, but I had no idea

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: that it would also trigger the establishment Republicans and some

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: of these so called Christians who say they are Republican

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 3: as well. I had no idea that that, to me

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: came as a surprise. But you know what Lesson learned.

69
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: So over the years, there have been some in the

70
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Republican Party locally that really got upset. I think they

71
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: that they got the clinical term perhaps is but hurt

72
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: over the fact that we were encouraging people to join

73
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: the party, that we were encouraging the Republicans to stand

74
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: firm and to speak out and to get off of

75
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: the get off of the country club plantations, and get

76
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: out into the community. And I remember, I remember early on,

77
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: at one of the very first Republican meetings, they invited

78
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 3: me to come and speak, and I'm looking out over

79
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 3: the crowd, this huge crowd of people, and I'm like,

80
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: where are all the black folks? What this looks like?

81
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: I don't know. It looked like a country club and

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: I've been a huge proponent of going into all the

83
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: communities and all of the neighborhoods in the mid South

84
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: and bringing the conservative message. And why is that, Well,

85
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 3: it's because I believe in the conservative message. I believe

86
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: in the precepts of what it means to be a concern.

87
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: I also happen to be a Christian, and my faith

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 3: flavors everything I do, including politically speaking. So it's been

89
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 3: a long slog and it's you know, at times, it's

90
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: been frustrating, but I think, you know, we've done the

91
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 3: right thing. But there are there are a lot of

92
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: people within the Republican Party locally who really loathe the

93
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: mission of KWAM. They can't stand what we do because

94
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: the establishment Republicans would rather sit back on their apple

95
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: teeny's and play golf and do whatever. That's fine, you

96
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 3: can do that, but you're not going to win elections.

97
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 3: And that was especially evident a couple of years into

98
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: being back when I think Republicans pretty much lost every

99
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: single major race here in this area. And you know

100
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 3: what happened, this is what blew me away. They applauded themselves.

101
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm sitting going what that what?

102
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: Wait?

103
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 3: What just happened here. We just got our butts handed

104
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 3: to us, and we're applauding ourselves. We're throwing another shindig.

105
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: I got no problem with shindigs. As a matter of fact,

106
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: k Win throws some money good shindigs. And I will

107
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: say this, I know I'm a I participate. I was

108
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 3: a member of the Republican Party and gave a lot

109
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: of money. And I'm not saying that to be boastful

110
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: of all. I'm just saying I had skin in the

111
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: game and I wanted candidates to win. Isn't that the

112
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: whole point of having a political party, to elect candidates

113
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: to office who share your political viewpoints. But I think

114
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 3: one of the big problems, and maybe maybe the up

115
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: of the ups they didn't realize this, is that KWAM

116
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: is a grassroots radio station. We're always going to be

117
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: that way. We're not high for looting around these parts.

118
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: We're just not. That's not who we are. That's not

119
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 3: to say we don't have high falutint people that listen

120
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 3: to the radio. We do, and I love that. But

121
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: you know what, We're a radio station for the people,

122
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: and we wanted to give those people a voice, and

123
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: you know, what happened. Something wonderful happened. Over the past

124
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: several years, hundreds of people have joined the local republic

125
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: And we're not talking about We're not talking about the

126
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: super well. I'm talking about regular Joe's. I'm talking about

127
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: working class folks. I'm talking about middle class folks, talking

128
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: about young people that were attracted to the message. And

129
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: I got to tell you that really blessed my heart.

130
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: I had no idea that such a thing would anger

131
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: and infuriate the establishment. It's beyond me. But a lot

132
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: of people like their private country clubs, and that's okay,

133
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: that's okay, but that's not who I am. But when

134
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: you start going after the Kram listeners, when you start

135
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: going after my friends, the people that are out there

136
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: on the front lines working their asses off, that's when

137
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: I draw the line. And over the past couple of

138
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: weeks there has been a lot of turmoil within the

139
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: Republican Party locally, and you know who's gonna you know

140
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: who's going to ultimately be hurt. The good people of

141
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: Shelby County. That's who's going to be hurt. You know

142
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: who's going to be hurt, those kids in those schools

143
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: that deserve to have a fighting chance, but we're too

144
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: busy trying to keep the grassroots down that we really

145
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: don't give it. Damn, if kids read in this in

146
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 3: this community, that that's who gets hurt. But I just

147
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: want to say personally thank you to Luke Symbol, who

148
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: has done a remarkable job and I think has truly

149
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: revolutionized the communications wing of the party. And and Kristin

150
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: Hicks and Kristin Knew. We call them affectionately the German

151
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: town Housewives, the real housewives of Germantown, those two women

152
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: and their friends. And I apologize for not listening every

153
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: listening everybody, but they have worked their butts off and

154
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: they found themselves not welcome in their own party and

155
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: I can't abide by that. That's just not right. So anyway,

156
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: last night, Luke Symbol officially said that he was not

157
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: going to run for reelection for his position within the party.

158
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: And we also understand that miss Hicks stepped away from

159
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: the party as well, and there are others who are

160
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: doing the same. And I will say this that I

161
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: too have added my name, and I have for the

162
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: very first time, and gosh, wow, it's been a long time.

163
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: I am no longer a member of a political party.

164
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: I have rescinded my membership in the Republican Party, and

165
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: you know what, that's okay, because I just I believe

166
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 3: you can do a lot more not being a part

167
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: of a political party. We're still going to fight the

168
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: good fight here on kay Whim every single day. We're

169
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: not going to work off talking points. You're not going

170
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: to bully us. And that's the thing that got me

171
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: was the bullying campaign, and that's just unacceptable. It really

172
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: is shameful. Actually shame on you. But we're going to

173
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: keep fighting the good fight here and you may not

174
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: like it, and that's okay. You know what. Here on

175
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: this radio station, I want you to think about this

176
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: for a moment. There is literally only one radio station

177
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: in the city where both Republicans and Democrats can come

178
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: on and talk about the issues in an intellectual and

179
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: fun way. But there's also only one radio station that

180
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: will let you call in and attack the host. And

181
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: the reason why is number one, it makes some pretty dark,

182
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: good entertaining radio. But number two, I believe in my

183
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: positions and I feel like I can defend my positions.

184
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 3: I'm just going to tell you it's sort of damn it.

185
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 3: It's sad. It really is sad because all of these folks,

186
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: Luke and the Christians and many many others have worked

187
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: their butts off, worked their butts off. They weren't looking

188
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: for adulation. They weren't they weren't even looking for at eRASS.

189
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: They were just out there because they believed in the

190
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: conservative message. I think about people like our good friends

191
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: out in Whitehaven at the Republican Club, grinding it out

192
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: every single day in an overwhelmingly blue neighborhood. That's what

193
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: we ought to be focused on. But instead we're focused

194
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: on power. And that's unfortunate. That is unfortunate. But I

195
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: will say this, you don't have to be a member

196
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: of a political party to make a difference. And we're

197
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 3: going to keep telling those stories and we're going to

198
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 3: keep fighting that good fight. Nine oh one two six

199
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: zero five nine two six. If you'd like to weigh

200
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: in this morning, that's nine oh one two six zero

201
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 3: five nine two six. Let's go to Linda in Germantown. Linda,

202
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: good morning, what's on your mind today?

203
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: Hey?

204
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: Good morning?

205
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 6: Uh.

206
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: Because of Kristin Hicks and Kristin News tenacity at one

207
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 5: of the events, Bartlett, I believe she talked this gentleman

208
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 5: and his wife. You just came up to see what

209
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 5: was going on because it was so much fun, you know,

210
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: with the Trump and she talked him into joining the party,

211
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 5: and he was going to join, and then she talked

212
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 5: him into opping his membership. Anyway, long story short, he

213
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 5: has a business and one of his workers was a

214
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 5: grandmother to this girl, twenty year old girl that was

215
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 5: being trafficed traffic sex trafficked. Anyway, he reached out because

216
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: of who he met in that tent, he was able

217
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: to find somebody to go rescue those girls. Twenty one

218
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 5: girls are now free from being sex trafted in part

219
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: because of Christen's tenacity and salesmanship as you will and seek.

220
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 5: How many people are grateful because of her.

221
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: Well, they're wonderful people and they're great American patriots, Linda,

222
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: and I know you are as as well. And it's

223
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: just really sad, that's all I can That's all I

224
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: can really say. It is incredibly sad what is happening

225
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: because it takes us away from the mission. And to

226
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: be perfectly honest with you, this was an opportunity. I

227
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: think this coming midterm election was an opportunity for the

228
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: Republicans here to make a serious statement. Linda, I've got

229
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: a scantal for a break, but God bless you. Thank

230
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: you so much for that story. Nine oh one two

Speaker 3: We have the best law enforcement in the nation right

241
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: here in the mid South. And on January the thirtieth,

242
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff's Office responded to a

243
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 3: call involving two kids in a pond. I want you

244
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: to listen to part of the press conference. You're not

245
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: going to be able to play the whole thing, but

246
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: I want you to listen to what happened and the

247
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: incredible bravery of the Shelby County Sheriff's Department take a listen.

248
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: So I arrived first at the apartment complex.

249
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 7: When I exited my vehicle, I heard a lot of

250
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 7: screaming coming from the back of the apartment complex towards

251
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 7: the pond. Realizing that this might be a real life

252
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 7: or death situation, I got a rope out of the

253
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 7: back of my truck, ran around to the apartment complex.

254
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 7: There was a bunch of bystanders screaming and pointing. I

255
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 7: did notice the twelve year old was in the water

256
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 7: hanging onto the ice head, was bobbing up and down,

257
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 7: and as I was trying to get the rope out

258
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 7: towards the twelve year old and noticed that the.

259
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Seven year old was in the water pretty far out there.

260
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 7: So I did the rope through the rope to the

261
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 7: twelve year old because I got to make a decision

262
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 7: which one I can go after through the rope to

263
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 7: the twelve year old, and then jumped into the water,

264
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 7: swam across the pond and got the seven year old.

265
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: I was uh too far out to come back, so

266
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: I swam to the other side of the pond, got up.

267
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 7: On the bank and started doing CPR and that's when

268
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 7: my partner Mohammad arrived on the scene.

269
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 6: Uh ribbing on the scene. How was met by a

270
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 6: bystander that directed me to the pool.

271
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: We both ran.

272
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 6: Full fledged to the pond. Uh.

273
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: I seen my partner Deadly.

274
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 6: Owens swimming in the middle of the pond, and I

275
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 6: seen the twelve year old bobbing.

276
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: On the side of the ice.

277
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: At that moment, I rushed her into the water. I

278
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 6: grabbed the rope and with the assistance of the bystands

279
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 6: that was near me, I was able to pull the

280
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 6: twelve rode out of the water and they assisted by

281
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 6: pulling me out my house houlding the rope. After that,

282
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 6: I ran over to my partner dept.

283
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: Owns to Assistan with CBO. We didn't have much time

284
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: to react at all.

285
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 7: There's children in the water, so with two of them

286

00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 7: so just do what you do.

290
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't have no time to react at all,

291
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 6: so I just act right away. I wanna thank God

292
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 6: for giving me the the strength and courage and the

293
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 6: instinct just to act immediately, to just go across that

294
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: breaking ice for the twelve year old.

295
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 7: I I'm a man of faith, and I believe that

296
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 7: Lord has the children in his hands, and you know

297
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 7: what may come of it would be in his plan.

298
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 6: I would say all glory to God, you know, I

299
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 6: don't you know. I would say that God took over

300
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 6: and gave me the strength and courage to do everything

301
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 6: I did that day. So you know, I feel like

302
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 6: the title hero is kind of beyond me, and I'm

303
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 6: just thankful that, you know, God gave me the strength

304
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 6: to be here.

305
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 7: Lord gave me an opportunity, put me in the right situation,

306
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 7: the right timing, and I was willing. I've got good

307
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 7: partners to back me up, so I really didn't think

308
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 7: about much.

309
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: I know they're coming for me. That's the nature of

310
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: this job.

311
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 7: These peigners that you see behind me, there's nothing stopping

312
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 7: them from coming, So I don't have to worry about anything.

313
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: Happening to me.

314
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 3: They've got what an incredible testimony, and those two men

315
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: you heard from, that's Deputy Edward Owens and Deputy Israel Muhammad,

316
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 3: and those men showed up at the South Winds Lake

317
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: apartment complex and just jumped right in, crashed through the ice,

318
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: this sheet of ice on the pond to rescue these

319
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 3: two little boys who are are One of them is

320
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: still in pretty tough, pretty tough condition. They had to

321
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: do CPR. But those young men are alive. Those little

322
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: boys are alive because of the work of those deputies.

323
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: And when you think about when you think about their selflessness,

324
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: their training that compelled them to run to the danger zone.

325
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: I know you think about that every time you hear

326
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: a Democrat in this town belittling law enforcement or mocking

327
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: law enforcement. You think about Deputy Owens and you think

328
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 3: about Deputy Mohammed, two men who put their own lives

329
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: on the line to save those little boys. Now, also,

330
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: mom's dads, keep your kids off the ice. That is

331
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: a message that so many police officers have been saying

332
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: around the Mid South. It is just not safe. So

333
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: you got to do that. Be sure to pray for

334
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: those little boys. Let's pray for a full recovery. God

335
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 3: bless the Shelby County Sherif's Department and all of our

336
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: great law enforcement hanging tight. Everybody got to take a break.

337
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: We'll be right pack. All right, have you guys thought

338
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 3: out yet? This is insane. I will say this, folks,

339
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 3: You folks in Nashville, you guys are screwed. This is

340
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 3: what happens when you hire diversity folks, and the power

341
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: is not going to be back on. They say, now,

342
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 3: February eleventh is when the power might be restored in Nashville.

343
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 3: The funny thing is they did what they did to

344
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: protect the trees. The canopy is what they were talking about. Unfortunately,

345
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: the canopy's gone because all the ice brought down all

346
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: the trees. So good luck, good luck with that. All

347
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 3: I can say is God bless MLGW because maybe there

348
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: were a few power flickers here and there, but man,

349
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: they kept the lights on and the water running, and

350
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: we appreciate that. I want to welcome in our good

351
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: friends Adam Martin and Chris Loftis from Strategic Financial Partners. Guys,

352
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: it's just good to see human beings again. Really, you know, absolutely,

353
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: I'm going a little star crazy. So yeah, where are

354
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: you really? There are some people that are still stuck

355
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: in their homes because they have those massive you know ice,

356
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: you know, the the snow that was the blowing snow,

357
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: the snow drifts. Yeah, they throw solid.

358
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 2: I spent the last week on the business end of

359
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: a shovel and an axe, trying to bust people out

360
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: of their driveway. So I'm happy to get back to normal.

361
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: We tried to give hell I tried hell on ade.

362
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 3: You go downstairs, you know, because we do have We

363
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: had you guys coming outside. Need you go downstairs, take

364
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: the pick axe and just you know, chop up the

365
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 3: She did not want to do it, not either. Not

366
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: a team player. Not a team player, Helen. But anyway,

367
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: great to see you guys. And I know a lot

368
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: of people are just getting back into into the grind

369
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: and getting back to work, focusing on finances. Of course,

370
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 3: we've got a tax season coming up. But today we're

371
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about risk tolerance, and a lot of

372
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: people are not tolerant about risk, and so we're gonna

373
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: jump right into it. When you hear that term, what

374
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: does that that term mean in the financial world.

375
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: That's a great question, and it's all in your personal

376
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 2: situation and what walk of life you're in. So somebody

377
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: who's just starting out in life is obviously going to

378
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: have a different risk tolerance than somebody who's nearing retirement.

379
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: So a young person is going to be aggressive. They've

380
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: got time on their hands to be invested in some

381
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: things that are more volatile than somebody who's nearing retirement

382
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: and can't afford to lose any kind of money that

383
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: they need for retirement with big market swings. So the

384
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: risk is really how much risk do you want to

385
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: take in your investments?

386
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 8: And just to pedal off of that, you know, people

387
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 8: often confuse risk tolerance with risk capacity, so like you

388
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 8: might want to take risks, but whether you can afford

389
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 8: to is a different story. But true risk tolerance shows

390
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 8: up when things don't go as planned.

391
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: So ultimately, let's talk about some examples of what happens

392
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: when somebody's investments don't necessarily match their risk tolerance. Would

393
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: give us some examples of it, Yeah, I see it

394
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: pretty often.

395
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: It's let's talk about that pre retiree, somebody who has

396
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: kept their foot on the gas and they did it,

397
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 2: you know, not really knowing. They just set it and

398
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 2: forget it a long time ago, and now they're starting to, hey,

399
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: plan a little bit more. I know I'm going to

400
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: be retiring, will my money last and the first thing

401
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: that I see is, hey, you're ten years from retirement

402
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: or five years from retirement, and you're in a super

403
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: aggressive portfolio. So my first question is if the market

404
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: corrects ten percent and you lose ten percent of your portfolio,

405
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: how would that make you feel? And they would say

406
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: nine times out of ten, that'd be detrimental. I can't

407
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: afford to do that. So that just tells me we

408
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: need to reallocate your investments.

409
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 3: Is there anything wrong with taking those risks?

410
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 8: Though not at all again, and there's a lot of

411
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 8: people out there with the different situations that are perfectly

412
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 8: fine with those risks.

413
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: You know.

414
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 9: That's the tolerance aspect of it, right. You're able to.

415
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 8: Put yourself in position where you say, hey, if there's

416
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 8: a risk reward, here, is the reward great enough to

417
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 8: justify the risk? And that's where that conversation comes into play,

418
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 8: where if you could be honest with yourself instead of

419
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 8: you know, looking online and seeing what everybody else is

420
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 8: doing and saying, oh, go for big money, big money,

421
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 8: because that's where you jump into the hole of like,

422
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 8: oh wait a minute, you know, stock markets, a gamble,

423
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 8: all that stuff, and this isn't necessarily talking about the

424
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 8: stock market, but this is more so saying, okay, what

425
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 8: is your capacity and capability to make your assets work

426
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 8: for you?

427
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: Does risk tolerance change over time or you basically born

428
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 3: with it? I guess it would make you, what trends tolerant.

429
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 1: That's great, that's awesome.

430
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: No, it's not something that you're born with. Obviously, every

431
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: situation is different and new risk tolerance will change or

432
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: it should change.

433
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 10: You know.

434
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: I do have conversations where people where we're near in

435
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: retirement and they're saying, Nope, I still want to take

436
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 2: on this aggressive risk. But what we want to do

437
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: first and foremost is just educate you where you're at

438
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: in your walk of life and just say, hey, this

439
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense for you to be aggressive.

440
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: But as we get.

441
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: Next ten years, maybe we scale that from an aggressive

442
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: to a moderate risk tolerance, and then eventually we'll end

443
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: up in a conservative.

444
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 8: Risk and Todd that's why review annual reviews are so important.

445
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 8: I mean, you're gonna get married, you're gonna have kids,

446
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 8: life is going to happen. But ultimately it's one of

447
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 8: those things where risk tolerance isn't something you set it

448
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 8: and forget it. It needs to be you know, counsel

449
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 8: that needs to be fostered. You need to be paying

450
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 8: attention to it, just so that when things do change

451
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 8: in your life, you're able to take according steps.

452
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: All Right, our good friends, Ada Martin Chris LOFTUS with

453
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: Strategic Financial Partners. Strategic Financial Partners dot com is the

454
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 3: website that Strategic Financial Partners dot com. By the way,

455
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: I want to give you a quick traffic update here

456
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: the off ramp tode the one oh one correct connector

457
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: north at US fifty one is blocked, so there is

458
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: a massive, massive traffic backup there, So be careful in that.

459
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 3: While you're in that area, and while our commuters are

460
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 3: stuck in that big traffic jam, let's talk about something

461
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 3: they need to be thinking about right now in their

462
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 3: cars when it comes to understanding their own risk tolerance.

463
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: I'd just say, take you know, a few seconds to

464
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 2: reflect on where you're at in your working career. You're

465
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,960

Speaker 2: right software you.

472
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 8: I'd add to that, ask yourself, for those of you

473
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 8: that have taken on risk, how soon will I need

474

475
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 8: risk somebody can comfortably take, and that's going to kind

476
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 8: of separate the sheet from the goats a little bit

477
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 8: in terms of what you should be doing right now.

478
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: When you talk about risk, A lot of people think

479
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 3: immediately stock market. You know, obviously we've been talking a

480
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: lot about that. It also impacts other areas of life

481
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 3: as well.

482
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we call like life insurance planning, long

483
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: term care planning, and disability planning is risk management. So

484
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: you know, obviously death and taxes are the two certain

485
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: things in life, so there's risk associated with that, and

486
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 2: you know what we want to make sure of, whether

487
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 2: it's insurance, it's investments, or it's comprehensive planning that we're

488
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: addressing that risk, whether it's risk tolerance in the stock market,

489
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: risk of losing our life, and what do we leave

490
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 2: as a legacy, So we handle all the risk mitigation

491
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: on a comprehensive.

492
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 8: Levels is everywhere, right, I mean career changes, life changes,

493
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 8: you're starting a business, I mean, Todd when you bought Kwham,

494
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 8: that was you took on a lot of risk doing that,

495
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 8: which was phenomenal. It's one of those things where even

496
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 8: paying down debt versus saving it's all about trade offs.

497
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 8: It pertains to a lot of risk, but financially financial

498
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 8: planning helps people be able to justify and make those

499
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 8: decisions intentionally instead of accidentally.

500
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: This is it's great, it's great intel and of course

501
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: risk tolerance also. At least now we don't have to

502
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: worry about getting shot at or getting our carjacked, you know,

503
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 3: thanks to the National Guard, so we don't have to

504
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: worry about that risk anymore. So yeah, that's a good

524
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 3: I think it's a hymn, but all it's a dude

525
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 3: and a dress. We had a horrible, really funny conversation

526
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 3: yesterday on Newsmax. We do a ladies panel. We're trying

527
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 3: to come up with a name for it. They didn't

528
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: like my idea. It was Todd's Hot Babes. They didn't

529
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: like that, and we suggested Todd's Cool Conservative Babes. And

530
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: I think it's the babes part of it. Anyway, we

531
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,479
Speaker 3: were talking to the ladies about about Bad Bunny and

532
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: one of the ladies said, well, you know, she goes.

533
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: He's trying to honor gay people, queer people and queer

534
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: people don't watch the super Bowl, which I immediately pushed

535
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: back and said, well what about the tight ends.

536
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 9: It's terrible.

537
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's keep the topic consistent. You run the risk

538
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: of being canceled.

539
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 3: Well, well, well played. That's consistency. All right. We've got

549
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 3: Justin and call yourville. Hi, Justin, what's on your mind

550
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: this morning?

551
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: Hey Todd? Hey, I just want to call in and

552
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 4: just thank the Christens and laur for all they've done

553
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 4: for the UH, for the Shelby p GOP. I mean,

554
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 4: just the way we left is the way we came in.

555
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: So I'm not worried about any of the future. If

556
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: I had to pick one memorial of us volunteer with

557
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 4: the Showbo GOP when the Shelby GFP during a presidential

558
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: election didn't have anything going on, we took money out

559
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 4: of our own pockets and we're passing out Trump signs

560
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: all throughout Shelby County during during a presidential election. And

561
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 4: that was probably one of the most fun things that

562
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 4: we did that that nobody even had a vision for.

563
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: So it may seem like things are bleak, but I

564
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 4: don't think.

565
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 10: So.

566
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 4: This is how we started with the whole part of

567
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: the school board. Uh, you know, debacle getting involved. You know,

568
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 4: a lot of good things came out of that. So

569
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 4: you know, God, God is in control. He's got a

570
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 4: plan for all of this, and this might just be

571
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: the shake up that we need right before twenty twenty

572
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 4: six elections.

573
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: I have no doubt about that. And I know there

574
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: are a lot of independent candidates that are running that

575
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 3: are conservatives, so there's gonna be lots of opportunities, you know,

576
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: to hear their voices on KWHAM and really to get

577
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: behind you know, I think a lot of people, a

578
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 3: lot of donors are now looking for a place where

579
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: they can get plugged in and put their put their money.

580
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 3: And I'm excited. Look, yes, Justin. Don't don't get me wrong.

581
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: I am incredibly hopeful about about the future. Certainly very

582
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 3: sad what has happened, but you know what, it's okay.

583
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: And even though I'm a Baptist, I do believe in karma. Justin,

584
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: God bless thank you, and we appreciate you calling in

585
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: this morning. And we appreciate all of our great listeners.

586
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

587
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: One of our great sponsors, Rosies Past Control, and we're

588
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: so excited to have Ashley Doherty with us. Ashley, good morning, Glad.

589
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's just nice to see human beings. We've

590
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: all been snowed in or iced in over the past

591
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: couple of days. Did you get out there? Did you

592
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: do any sledding or skiing.

593
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 10: Or I did some sledding. We have a very steep driveway,

594
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 10: so we got to set down that and into the

595
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 10: neighbor's driveway, so it's like a long course, so we

596
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 10: got to do.

597
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: At least maybe you didn't land in the neighbor's house.

598
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 10: No, thankfully.

599
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: Not thankfully. Oh my goodness, it's slippery out there, you know,

600
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: it really is. And hopefully it's going to warm up

601
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: and we'll be able to get the rest of the ice.

602
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 3: But I think a lot of people are just ready

603
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: to get out of their houses. One of the great

604
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: things about Rosies and we love promoting locally owned, family

605
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 3: owned businesses here on KWHAM, and that's what Rosies is.

606
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: How important is that family aspect of it?

607
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 10: Well, it's it's the root of the company. It's like

608
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 10: a whole family. And I've been welcomed into the family.

609
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 10: I started working there a year and a half ago

610
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 10: as their marketing department and it's a family in the

611
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 10: office and that translates over to our customer service and

612
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 10: our technicians when they go into the house. It's it's

613
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 10: a very family, small family values.

614
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: And that's well and that's an important thing, and I

615
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: think people appreciate that and they know that. You know,

616
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: when there is a family owned company, they live here,

617
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,479
Speaker 3: they work here, and they're invested in the community. So

618
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 3: they want to make sure they're y'all, y'all are doing

619
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: a great job, which they do. You know, when you

620
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 3: think about pest control. You know, most people think springtime, summertime.

621
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: They don't necessarily think about winter.

622
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

623
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, so when you're heading into the winter, a lot

624
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 10: of people they'll reschedule their their sprays or whatever. And

625
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 10: it's important to keep your consistent pest control just because

626
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 10: when it gets caught outside, those pests are trying to

627
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 10: go into a warm environment. And the warm environment that

628
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 10: they're looking for is going to be inside your house.

629
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 10: So you're going to have all sorts of rodents, squirrels,

630
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 10: roof rats, those types of things. They're going to be

631
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 10: trying to get into your attic in any spot that

632
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 10: they can, and so you just need to stay consistent

633
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 10: so you don't have that happen.

634
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: And that's the key is consistency. And what I mean,

635
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: you guys are the experts here. But what happens when

636
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 3: a person says, you know what, I just need past

637
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: control periodically. Yeah, you know, you're not on a consistent level.

638
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 10: What happens, Well, well, you're probably gonna have a build

639
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 10: up up until the spring, so you might have you

640
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 10: could have a festation that you don't know about, and

641
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 10: but then it makes itself apparent when it comes to springtime,

642
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 10: and it could have been a lot easier if you

643
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 10: had just stayed consistent.

644
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 3: So let's talk about past rodents that you guys commonly

645
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: track reear rounds.

646
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, so we do rats, roof rats, squirrels, ants, gnats, roaches,

647
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 10: just any sort of pest home like common home pest.

648
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 10: We'll come out there. We can set traps in your attic,

670
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: in the South, they're dealing with these iguanas or whatever

671
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 3: that like freeze up in the wintertime. You know, it's

672
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 3: a weird thing. But I hear in the Mid South,

673

Speaker 3: are we dealing with here?

675
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 10: I mean, like I said, right now, it's gonna be rats, squirrels, raccoons,

676
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 10: And then in the winter or in the spring, in

677
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 10: the summer you're looking at wasps, bees, broaches, ants trying

678
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 10: to come inside. I think those are the most Mosquitoes,

679
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 10: those are very We do a lot.

680
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,600

697
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 3: Marshall Blackburn is going to be joining us. Also, we're

698
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 3: going to be talking with the mayor of Knox County,

699
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: Glenn Jacobs is going to be in town and we're

700
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: looking forward to having a conversation with him in studio

701
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 3: about the politics and of course the state of the

702
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 3: big gubernatorial race. Marshall Blackburn is running and gunning and

703
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:39,439
Speaker 3: she is setting historic records in fundraising and we'll talk

704
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: to her about that. Also, an opportunity for you to

705
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 3: call in and voice your thoughts and your opinions on

706
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: the gubernatorial race. Right now, Blackburn is pretty much leading.

707
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 3: I think it was like seventy points. Seventy point lead.

708
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 3: It's insane over Congressman John Rose and also state Representative

709
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 3: Monti Fritz. By the way, Monti Fritz is going to

710
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 3: be in the mid South. He's hosting a big event

711
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: and in Connierville in just a couple of weeks, and

712
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: we'll tell you all about that and the we'll do

713
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: that tomorrow on the program. We're gonna try to get

714
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 3: money on the show. But again, grassroots support Mani Fritz

715
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: is generating a lot of attention. As a matter of fact,

716
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: he's about one or two percentage points behind Congressman Rose.

717
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 3: So that's that's how significant all of that is. So

718
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: we'll have a conversation about that coming up at eleven

719
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,959

Speaker 3: five nine two six. Also at eleven o'clock, we're gonna
