1
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: America's favorite gun, total Bible clinging, deplorable America.

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: That's us.

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: That's that love.

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 4: This American.

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 5: Jud starts.

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 4: YEA, all right, I've had a chance to look over

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 4: these these Epstein documents and it's look, it's a it's disgusting,

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 4: it's horrible, it's sickening. But the one good guy in

10
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: all of this, if you're looking for the lone ranger,

11
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: if you're looking for the guy who did the right thing,

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 4: his name is Donald J. Trump. Hello, everybody, Welcome to

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 4: the Tom Stearns Radio Show. What an honor to have

14

Speaker 4: all of you with us today, and we have a

15
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: lot of ground to cover. By the way, we have

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: a very special guest coming up later on in the show.

17
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 4: Florida House Speaker Paul Renner is going to be with us.

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: He is he is running for governor and we're going

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 4: to be We're going to be talking to him about

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: the campaign and what is going to take to keep

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 4: Florida as a red state. Also, we're going to be

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: talking with Tennessee State Lawmaker Monte Fritz. He's going to

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: be joining us later on in the program as well.

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: He too, running for the Republican nomination for governor in

25
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 4: the state of Tennessee, has some stiff competition Senator Marsha

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: Blackburn running in that race in Congressman John Rose. So again,

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 4: two very important red states, and we need to make

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: sure that those red states state red states. Also. Josh

29
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 4: Jones is going to be along a very disturbing story

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: about not only what's happening in Virginia but also in

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: Alabama where they found well over three thousand, three thousand

32
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: illegals on the voting ballots. Let me explain that to

33
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: you again. The authorities in Alabama discovered that more than

34
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: three thousand illegal aliens were registered to vote in the

35
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: state of Alabama. That's insane. Also, and this story breaking,

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: and Fox News has the story. There will be investigations

37
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: on Capitol Hill as we now understand that an untold

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: number of non citizens have been allowed to vote in Detroit, Michigan.

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: They have also served on jury pools and they're not

40
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: allowed to do that, which leads to all sorts of questions.

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 4: And you now wonder will some of the verdicts, the

42
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 4: jury verdicts, will they be rendered, will they be thrown out,

43
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: Will mistrials be declared, Will they have to will they

44
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: have to go in and discover exactly how many illegals

45
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: we're serving on jury pools in the state of Michigan.

46
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: All that to say, ladies and gentlemen, there's a lot

47
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: of news today. But all that to say that if

48
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: it's happening in Alabama, which is one of the red

49
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: estates in America, you better believe it's happening in every

50
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: state across America. And what is it the Democrats? The

51
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 4: Democrats have told us from day one, there's no way

52
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: illegals can vote, There's no way non citizens can vote. Well,

53
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: now we're understanding the truth, and the truth is very,

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: very ugly. Now I want to talk about this. These

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: Epstein documents were just a moment, and we've got the

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: new intel. Those of you, those of you that are

57
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: watching us on our social media streams, I'm actually holding

58
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: up the actual DOJ documents. And for you folks listening

59
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: by radio, that's what the documents sound like. A former

60
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: Palm Beach, Florida police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in

61
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: the mid two thousands told the FBI that he had

62
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: received a call from Donald Trump saying, thank goodness, you

63
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: guys are stopping him talking about Epstein. Everybody knows that

64
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 4: he's been doing this. So the ex police chief sat

65
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: down with the FBI in twenty nineteen, and the Miami

66
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: Herald was the very first news publication to report on

67
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: all of this. So you've got the media, and now

68
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: the media is like they're weeping right now. Many of

69
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: them are in the fetal position because they truly believed

70
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 4: that once these documents came out, that Donald Trump would

71
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: be exposed for the predator. No, it turns out that

72
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is the hero in all of this. Donald

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: Trump is the one who called the cops on Jeffrey Epstein. Now,

74
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: President Trump has repeatedly denied any knowledge of Epstein's crimes

75
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 4: and said that he cut off contact with his former

76
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: friend more than twenty years ago. Trump claimed that he

77
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: booted Epstein. I'm reading from ABC News. It's not that

78
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 4: he claimed he did boot Epstein from mar A Lago

79
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: after discovering that he was po employees from the club's spot.

80
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: The police chief's name is redacted from the document on

81
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: the DOJ's website, but the information in the FBI statement

82
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: tracks with previously public information about the chief's role in

83
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: the investigation that began in two thousand and five. Detectives

84
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: were investigating Epstein for allegedly recruiting girls as young as

85
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 4: fourteen years old to provide massages that turned sexual. Now,

86
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 4: the information about Trump's alleged call makes up just a

87
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: small part of a four page document summarizing the police

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 4: chief's testimony in twenty nineteen, two months after Epstein's death,

89
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 4: Donald Trump told the chief that he threw Epstein out

90
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 4: of his club. Trump called the Palm Beach Police Department

91
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: to tell him, thank goodness, you're stopping him. Everyone knows

92
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: that he's been doing this. This is all in the

93
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 4: FBI documents. The alleged call came from I'm Trump in

94
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: July of two thousand and six, around the time the

95
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 4: details of the police investigation became public. Trump told him

96
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 4: that people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting. Trump

97
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: said Maxwell talked about Gallaine. Maxwell was Epstein's operative quote,

98
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: she is evil and encouraged police to focus on her.

99
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: The report continues, Trump told the police chief that he

100
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 4: was around Epstein once when teenagers were presents, and Trump

101
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: quote got the hell out of there. Trump was one

102
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: of the very first people to call when people found

103
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 4: out they were investigating Epstein. The account of Trump's alleged call,

104
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 4: as summarized in the FBI document, had not previously been reported.

105
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: So look, where are we at with all of this?

106
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: I know the President is very upset that these documents

107
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: were all released, primarily because I think there are people that,

108
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: as the President said, who are incent who were mentioned

109
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: in these or at least allegations were made and the

110
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 4: allegations were unfounded. And we've talked about that over the

111
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: past weeks. I don't want to terribly dwell on this,

112
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: but again, the media narrative here is what has just

113
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: blown up, and that's for me, that is the headline

114
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: here is that once again, once again, Donald Trump has

115
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 4: been proven to be the good guy. Now, the other

116
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 4: part of this, and this is where I'm just curious,

117
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: because all of this I find incredibly disgusting and sickening.

118
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: Is just sickening. One of the files, and there are

119
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: unredacted files that members of Congress are going and looking at,

120
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 4: and Lauren Bobert got a first glance at them last night,

121
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: and she is just enraged. Over all of this, but

122
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 4: one of the unretacted Epstein files reveals a sickening revelation

123
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 4: about a nine year old child. One of the youngest

124
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 4: victims just nine years old. The disclosure came after Congressman

125
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: Jamie Raskin, the Democrat from Maryland, and several others spent

126
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 4: hours inspecting the trove of documents Yesterday, lawmakers try to

127
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: investigate how the well connected financier was able to sexually

128
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: abuse underage girls for years. Mister Raskin said, you read

129
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 4: through these documents and you read about fifteen year old girls,

130
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: fourteen year old girls, ten year old girls. It's it's sickening.

131
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 4: He goes on to say, I saw mention of a

132
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: nine year old girl. I mean, this is just preposterous

133
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: and scandalous. Reading from the New York Post report Congressman

134
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: Thomas Massey, who I just find to be a reprehensible lawmaker,

135
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: but on this issue, he's I believe he spot on.

136
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: He said that he had seen a reference to a

137
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 4: senior a senior foreign agent government official who was apparently

138
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: in the convicted pedophiles circle. He added that he'd come

139
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: across the names of six men that have been redacted

140
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 4: in the release files that are likely incriminated by their inclusion.

141
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: Massey is now calling on the DOJ to pursue accountability,

142
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: and did not rule out that he would expose them

143
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: himself by naming the men in a house floor speech

144
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: where his actions would be constitutionally protected from lawsuits. Now

145
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: that's where our stomping point is. We just a moment here.

146
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: Should we name everybody that's in those files? If these people,

147
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: if these people are in fact guilty of crimes or

148
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: at least accused of heinous crimes against children, should they

149
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: be charged? If there is evidence of crime, should they

150
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: be charmed? Should their names be released? Should they face

151
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: some sort of a penalty. Here's the problem. A lot

152
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 4: of this stuff, these are allegations. I mean, they had

153
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 4: one in there about George hw Bush, and I mean

154
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: it's just ludicrous. But they're saying that, you know, George

155
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: hw Bush was involved and that Epstein was involved in cannibalism.

156
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: I don't believe that. Do you believe that? I don't

157
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: believe that. So there are a lot of weird things

158
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: and things that are just so absurd that it's it's

159
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 4: just impossible to be true. Some of these allegations or

160
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 4: is it possible now again, there were multiple redactions lifted

161
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 4: late Monday. This is part of a bipartisan effort Democrats

162
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 4: and Republicans accusing the DOJ of improperly blacking out names

163
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: of possible co conspiration. I want to know if people

164
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: in Congress are named in these files. I want to

165
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: know that. And the reason I want to know that

166
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: is I want to make sure that these people have

167
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: not been manipulated. Are these people being blackmailed? Is that

168
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 4: one of the reasons why they're refusing the Republicans in

169
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: the Senate is that one of the reasons why they're

170
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: refusing to advance President Trump's agenda. Are they being blackmailed?

171
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: Does somebody have something on them? Because when you look,

172
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: because none of this makes sense, right, none of this.

173
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: Let's just take the Save Act for just a moment here.

174
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 4: This is legislation that over eighty percent of Republican support

175
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: overall across the entire nation, seventy three percent of all

176
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: voter support, a majority of Democrats, a majority of minorities

177
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: support having some sort of voter ID to go and

178
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: cast a ballot, and yet the Senate Republicans refuse to

179
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: budge on this, and they will tell you all sorts

180
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: of excuses. Oh, by the way, they had talked about

181
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 4: doing some what they call a shadow filibuster. They're not

182
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: even doing that, Thune says, now they don't have time.

183
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: And what did I tell you that? That's why I

184
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: have been pushing them and pushing you to call your senators,

185
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: because I knew they would played the clock game. And

186
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: now they're saying, well, they may not have enough time,

187
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen. If we don't get this done, we

188
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: risk losing the Senate and the House in the midterms,

189
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: and then it will never get done. But again, what

190
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 4: is the reason? Why Is it because John Thune is obstinate?

191
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: Or is it because somebody has something on the majority leader?

192
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 4: And these are fair questions to ask, because nothing else

193
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 4: makes any sense at all. And trust me on this.

194
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: The Democrats, if they get control of the Senate, they

195
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: will nuke the filibuster and they will drive through their agenda.

196
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: That's how that's going to work. So anyway, we'll take

197
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: your calls on this again. Should we release these names?

198
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 4: If the members of Congress know who they are? Should

199
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: we know who they are? Our telephone number by the way,

200
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

201
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

202
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: This is the Todd Starn Show. Losing weights getting harder

203
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: and harder as you get older, and it's not your fault.

204
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: You're eating better, you're moving more, but your body isn't

205
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 4: responding anymore. The harder you try, the less progress you see.

206
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: And I am just like you. I've been dealing with

207
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,720

221
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

222
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: Great to have you with us. So what is it

223
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: they've been telling us that ICE agents are Nazis modern

224
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 4: day clan members and they're intentionally targeting black and brown

225
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: people all over America? Is that pretty much yet?

226
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 5: Have we?

227
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: I don't think I missed anything there in that description.

228
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: But basically they're calling them like you, Jim Crow, Southern

229
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: sheriffs deputies running around and they're intentionally targeting only black

230
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: people and brown people. As a matter of fact, there

231
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 4: was a headline in Memphis, Tennessee that only four percent

232
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: of the people arrested by the federal agients are white,

233
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 4: and they said, what should we make of this? Well,

234
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: it seems to me that maybe ninety six percent of

235
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 4: the white population's law abiding. I guess I don't what

236
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: do you want me to say? But the idea that

237
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: they're just going around there and targeting black and brown

238
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: people is ludicrous, And to that I bring to your

239
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: attention this headline. Several Irish citizens detained by ICE in

240
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: US sought official help. So there have been some people

241
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: from Ireland that are living here illegally and they've been

242
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: captured by ICE agents. One of them, his name is

243
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: Michael Martin, said the treatment of people at ICE facilities

244
00:15:53,760 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: was a concern. According to The Irish Times, one of

245
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: the individuals who sought help was Seamus Cultan, an Irishman

246
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: living in the United States for more than twenty years.

247
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: He's been held by ICE since being arrested in September.

248
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: He described his experience as a torture an appealed to

249
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: the Irish government to raise his case with Trump during

250
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 4: the Saint Patrick's Day visit to the White House next month.

251
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: Culton's case was reported in the Department of Foreign Affairs,

252
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: reading from the Irish Times late last year, Martin telling

253
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: journalists he'd only been briefed about it on Monday. He

254
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: said the government was considering how it can talk to

255
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 4: Trump's administration about the case. Here's an idea. When the

256
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: guy flies in to I don't know, Andrews Air Force

257
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: Base wherever Joint Base Andrews, make sure there's a spare

258
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: seat on the Irish airlines and you can take that

259
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: guy back home with you. Now, I did a little

260
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: bit of research here, and it turns out, ladies and gentlemen,

261
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: that more than fifty thousand illegal Irish immigrants live in

262
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 4: the United States right now, and most of them are

263
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: Dare I say, what's the word I'm looking for, lily white.

264
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: That's right, ladies in Sullivan, lily white irishmen. They're arresting

265
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: white irishmen. Oh my word. So here's the deal. If

266
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 4: you're in the country illegally, you have to go back

267
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 4: to where you came from. And you know what, I

268
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 4: originally had most of my anger directed at all of

269
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 4: the people that were breaching our borders and coming across.

270
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 4: That was where most of my wrath was being directed.

271
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: But the more I think about it, the more angry

272
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 4: I am over the illegals who have been here ten, fifteen,

273
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: twenty thirty years. They've had they've had ample time to

274
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 4: get themselves legal. They've had ample time to make them

275
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: righteous before the eyes of the United States of America.

276
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: They've had plenty of time, and yet they have chosen

277
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: not to do that. And honestly, there's no excuse. There's

278
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 4: no excuse at all. And that's what angers me is

279
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 4: these people knowingly live their lives as illegals and they've

280
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 4: done nothing about it. That bothers me. And by the way,

281
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 4: they're putting their families in danger. They're putting their wives

282
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 4: or their spouses in danger because one day there is

283
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: going to be a knock at the door. And they

284
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 4: talk about living in the shadows. No, they're not living,

285
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: and they're hiding in the shadows. They're hiding because they

286
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: know what they're doing is illegal. So yeah, I am

287
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 4: a purist when it comes to this immigration issue. Everybody

288
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 4: has to go back to wherever they came from and

289
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 4: they can come here the legal way. Been given opportunities.

290
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 4: And by the way, this irishman was given the same

291
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 4: opportunity that everybody else was given to self deport and

292
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: they did not do it. And you may say, well, Todd,

293
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: they owned pubs and all that's great. How did they

294
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 4: do that? By the way, without a social Security number?

295
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 4: How how is that working out? How did you get

296
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: the liquor licenses? I have lots of questions, all right,

297
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

298
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

299
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 4: five nine two six. This is the Todd Stern Show.

300
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to everybody. This is the Todd

301
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 4: Sterns Radio Show. So yesterday we played in this audio

302
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 4: from the Texas State Rap. His name is Gene Wu,

303
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: and he doesn't like all you white people out there,

304
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 4: mister Wu from Texas. He's the minority leader of the

305
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: Democrats the in the House in Austin. And he said

306
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 4: that all of you white people are oppressors, and that

307
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: there are more minorities and there are white people and

308
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: payback is are coming. I mean, that was the gist

309
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 4: of what he had to say. So now there is

310
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 4: a pastor out there who's saying that God doesn't like Mega,

311
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 4: and I want you to listen to what the pastor

312
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 4: had to say from the pulpit. Come on, public inn.

313
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 3: I came to tell white supremacists. I came to tell Mecca.

314
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 3: I came to tell white privilege we coming, we coming,

315
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: we come, we coming, we coming.

316
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: Concept.

317
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: When you give me glory, I'm going run them out

318
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: of the State Department. If you give me glory, I'm

319
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 3: a run them out of Congress and run them out

320
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: of Senate. If you give me glory, I'm a run

321
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: em off. For your job to run them off for

322
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: your classroom. I needed to take your neighbours hey and say, neighbor,

323
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: we gotta shout like we got faith.

324
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 4: Oh my throat hurts. Stelen. He just like wow wow.

325
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 6: That he is growling for a second.

326
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: But it was and then this he sounds like has

327
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: some sort of a throat condition. Can I ask your questions?

328
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you're a white guy, I mean, do you

329
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: do you feel like you've been we've been marginalized. I

330
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 4: think we've added a lot to society.

331
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't, you know. I feel pretty good about myself,

332
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 6: so I don't feel too too bad.

333
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 4: I mean we did found the country.

334
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, at least.

335
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: We we whipped the Indians behind. I know that's politically

336
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: incorrect to say, but yes, we we sent him packing. Yes,

337
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: and we beat the British and the god awful French.

338
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 6: That was good. We did beat the British.

339
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 4: So all I'm telling all I'm all I'm saying is

340
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: I think we've contributed a lot. We've made what we biscuits,

341
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 4: I think a white I made that probably.

342
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 6: I don't know if we made the gravy, but we

343
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 6: definitely made the mayonnaise.

344
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: I think we gave the country.

345
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 6: And white bread, saltine crackers.

346
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: Saltine crackers, white out. We gave people white out?

347
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 6: What else?

348
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 4: I'm give me a second. No, I I think that's

349
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 4: polar bear no eggshell white, eggshell white, which is polar

350
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: bear white? Yeah, we get I've got it. Country music,

351
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: country music, country music. That's it. And oh, muzak Inglebert HUMPERDK.

352
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 4: I don't see anybody else coming up with an Inglebert.

353
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 6: Do you coming up with.

354
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: Maybe a Shane? But no, We've got Ingelbert, we got Liberachi.

355
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 6: We have a lot to be proud of.

356
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 4: We do. Oh, we've got the we We We've got

357
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: the Zuckerberg he gave us Facebook.

358
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, you're so right.

359
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: So I just I don't understand why people are always like,

360
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 4: you know, crushing white people. We've added a lot to society.

361
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 6: While he's and growling at it. It's like it's like

362
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 6: we're food or something.

363
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 4: They call us the enemy. By the way, there's a

364
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 4: new survey out there says, guess which demographic is the

365
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: least racist group in the world. Yes, guess white people.

366
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: White people. Yes, we're very tolerant, Budge, I'm just telling you.

367
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 4: By the way, this report out as study finds that

368
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 4: twenty nine percent of Hispanics misclassified as white and criminal records. Well,

369
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: that's that's a problem. Also. According to Wikipedia, they they

370
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 4: wrote this about the about the Caucasian race, and for

371
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 4: those of you, that's the official terminology people for the

372
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: the Caucasian persuasion. All of you white people out there,

373
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 4: you honkies, you crackers, or as we prefer to be

374
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: called on this program, Saltine Americans. According to Wikipedia, the

375
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: Caucasian race is an obsolete racial classification of humans. Jesus,

376
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: they've already written us off, Dyllan. You know the problem

377
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: is we're not out there. Our people aren't out there

378
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 4: having babies. And you know how I blame for this.

379
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 4: There's a specific I blame the Catholics and the Mormons.

380
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys were like having like seven eight kids.

381
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: I mean you Mormons, you got had all the singing groups,

382
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: all the kids could sing and play an instrument. You

383
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 4: gave us the Osmon brothers and Hanson mmbop. Well there

384
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 4: were only three of them, so we could that was

385
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: a warning sign. Hanson was the Canarian the coal mine.

386
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 4: We noticed that the Mormon singing groups, the Mormon family

387
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 4: singing groups were shrinking.

388
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, we should have known so many babies that they

389
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 6: made TV shows for us.

390
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: That's true. Yeah, now we did have The anomaly was

391
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 4: the Waltons, and I were the Waltons Baptist. I think

392
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: the Waltons. Somebody's gonna call in and tell us that.

393
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 4: It's a little bit of trivia. But on you know,

394
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: on Walton's Mountain, they had you know what, seven or

395
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: eight kids, and then these little urchins would come along,

396
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 4: you know, when the older kids were not cute anymore.

397
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 4: You know, the TV producers had to like, you know,

398
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: get little kids, you know, new kids. So they were

399
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 4: always adopting people and whatnot. But all that to say

400
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 4: that white folks are just not pro creating as much

401
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: as they used to. And I don't know why that is,

402
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 4: but you know, there are some people they're the anomalies.

403
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: Who's the family out of Arkansas that has seventy eight

404
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 4: kids and counting the Douggers. The Douggers, Yeah, that's a

405
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 4: little weird. Yeah, I'm just gonna tell.

406
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 6: You some things went wrong, but you know that's what

407
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 6: happens when you have twenty kids.

408
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 4: I figured, since I already craft all over the TPU

409
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 4: at s A halftime show. Me just go all in.

410
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: We'll just go all in. I don't anyway all that

411
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: to say that. Look, I mean, you've got I think

412
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 4: this mister Wu here from Texas, he was spilling the

413
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: he was spilling the tea as they say that ultimately

414
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 4: they're going to put you white person in your place.

415
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I appreciate the guy being honest

416
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 4: about it, but it's it's a really sad situation. But again,

417
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 4: such intolerance in this country right now. And it goes

418
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 4: back to something I said yesterday. This is what happens

419
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 4: when you've taught an entire generation of kids critical race theory,

420
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 4: that white people are bad and white people are responsible

421
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: for every problem you have ever had in life, and

422
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 4: that is going to lead to a very bad time.

423
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: And I think we're starting to see we're just beginning

424
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: to see that develop here in in in the country.

425
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six oh.

426

462
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 5: will admit that there was part of it at one

463
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 5: point that I just had to turn away my wife

464
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 5: and I said, I cannot watch this anymore. And so

465
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 5: it was just disgusting parts of it, no doubt, and

466
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 5: really to see flags from other countries that were flying,

467
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: to see the things that were taking place.

468
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 7: In that show.

469
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 5: And really, I'll be honest with you, I looked at

470
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: my wife at one point and I said, you know

471
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: why they think that this is somehow winning the hearts

472
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 5: and minds of Americans. I said, really, anybody that's part

473
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 5: of the make America Great Again movement, this only fires

474
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 5: up the base.

475
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 6: And so I don't know.

476
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 5: It was disgusting, I thought the president, you know, a

477
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 5: few minutes later we saw what he put out. I

478
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 5: think he gave a very accurate review and once again

479
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 5: was stating for everybody what everybody was thinking.

480
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 4: You know, President Trump called the performance a slap in

481
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: the face to our country. Is that how you felt?

482
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: Again? I thought the fact that I kept listening and

483
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: thinking what am I missing here? And because nothing was

484
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: in English, and just I kept thinking at some point

485
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 5: that he was going to switch over, but it never did,

486
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: and so you didn't know what he was saying. You

487
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 5: could only see the actions as vulgar as they were,

488
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 5: and it just it left a very poor taste in

489
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: my mouth for sure.

490
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 4: Well. It was also there was also a very clear

491
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 4: political message woven through all of this. Bad Bunny, says

492
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 4: Ice out. President Trump is saying, we need some illegals

493
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 4: to work farm in the hotel jobs. I know about that. Congressman.

494
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: I believe when we say to port everybody, we need

495
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 4: to be deporting everybody.

496
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 5: What say you, Well, I do believe that the President

497
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: is continuing to try to fulfill the promise that was made.

498
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: You know, this is a multi step process. That I

499
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 5: think we've all known from the beginning that had to

500
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 5: take place. There had to be the first step to

501
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 5: secure the border, and I mean to tell you the

502
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 5: President has done a yeoman's job of making sure that

503
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 5: that has happened and the border is secure. I feel

504
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 5: confident in making that statement today. The second step was

505
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: to deport the criminal illegal alien, and I do think

506
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: that most Americans believe that that was going after those

507
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 5: with the criminal record, criminal background that we're here now.

508
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 5: We all understand that anybody that has come across the

509
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: border illegally is here illegally. They've committed a crime by

510
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: how they came in. But I do think it was

511
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 5: also clear that the President was going after the worst

512
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: of the worst, as we saw things in cities across

513
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: this country. We saw what happened out in Colorado and

514
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 5: those apartment complexes, those gangs, We've seen the number of murders.

515
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 5: So they have been trying to target the criminally legal aliens,

516
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: and in the process of that, anybody they have come

517
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: across who is here illegally has been deported. I think

518
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: that continues. But I also think there's a third step

519
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 5: in the process, and that is coming to some point

520
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 5: at some place that we're able to look at where

521
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 5: we are with immigration and reform our numbers, reform our laws.

522
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 5: I don't know what those numbers are going to be.

523
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 5: That we've got some great programs here, like the H two,

524
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: a program that helps those that aren't in the agriculture industry.

525
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 5: They need to be brought here the right way, the

526
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 5: legal way. But there is a lot of conversation that

527
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 5: is going on for how we can do it and

528
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: build off the successes that we've already had.

529
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 4: So the question is now do we double down here

530
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: because there are some within the administration that say we

531
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: need to back off. The White House needs to go easy,

532
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: we need to have a softer touch, that language coming

533
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: from the president. But what do you say, ladies and gentlemen.

534
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: CNN has a fascinating survey up and they've discovered that

535
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: an overwhelming number of Black Americans actually support voter ID.

536
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 4: Take a listen, take a look here.

537
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 6: Favorite photo ID to vote.

538
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 8: Eighty five percent of white people favorite, eighty two percent

539
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 8: of Latino, seventy six percent.

540
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 6: Of Black Americans favorite.

541
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 8: So the bottom line is this voter ID is not

542
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 8: controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is

543
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 8: not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party,

544
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 8: and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority

545
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 8: of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you

546
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 8: should have a photo ID to be able to vote.

547
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 4: I never thought I would say this, Dylan, but I

548
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 4: agree with Nicki Minaj.

549
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, what a time we live in.

550
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: Right, have to download some of her music.

551
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe be cautious there, but she's good.

552
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 4: You know what happens though, with these with these artists

553
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 4: that are out there, these we call them the second

554
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 4: the Christian lingo, we call them the secular artist. You

555
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 4: know what happens. They'll start, they'll make an album of

556
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 4: hymns right because they want to reach it. So Nicki

557
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 4: Nicki Minaj may like Nicki Minaj sing Southern gospel.

558
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 6: She may she may pull a Kanye is what they There's.

559
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 4: A great gospel song. I thank God for the preacher

560
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 4: who scared the hell out of me. It is a

561
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 4: great song.

562
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 6: Hey, she could come up with a remix of.

563
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: That, well she could. I mean you never know.

564
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 6: Right, there's like a rap section or something.

565
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 4: I would too. I would love to hear Nicki Minaj

566
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 4: rap the classics on NICKI. If you're listening, Nicki minaj

567
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 4: raps the Baptist hymnal. I love that whole thing, the

568
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 4: whole thing. Just we get like a three volume set

569
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 4: settled on QVC. Oh yeah, I'm all over that, Rammys. Okay,

570
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 4: what were we talking about? I have no idea what

571
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 4: we're Oh. Yes, back to the voter ID. So hear

572
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 4: me on this, ladies and John, this is an important point.

573
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: So seventy six percent of Black Americans support voter ID,

574
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 4: eighty two percent of Hispanic Americans support voter ID. So

575
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 4: what's the problem in our Senate? On our Senate side

576
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 4: controlled by the Republicans. It goes back to the very

577
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 4: first question I asked, Are the senators being blackmailed? And

578
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: I know that sounds so ludicrous and it sounds so conspiratorial,

579
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 4: but I can't figure it out. There is no downside

580
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 4: to this at all. An overwhelming number of the American people,

581
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 4: both Republican and Democrat and independent, believe that we ought

582
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 4: to be able to show an ID to go and vote.

583
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 4: And yet Senate Majority Leader John Thune says, no, we're

584
00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 4: not going to vote. We don't have time. Now, what

585
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: do you mean you don't have time. You've had a

586
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: year and two months. The House of Representatives voted on

587
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 4: the A Act three hundred days over three hundred days ago.

588
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: So what do you mean you don't have time? No, sir,

589
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 4: you had time. You just chose not to use your

590
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 4: time wisely. So the question is why it doesn't make

591
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 4: any sense politically. There is literally no political downside here.

592
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 4: Everybody supports it. As a matter of fact, there's an upside.

593
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 4: Not only does everybody support it, but the upside is

594
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 4: once you show an ID, there's a very good chance

595
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: that Republicans will start winning elections where those elections were

596
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 4: being stolen by people showing up with no ID, people cheating,

597
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 4: people not being people who were not qualified to vote

598
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 4: casting a ballot. There's only an upside here. So something

599
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 4: is going on, and somebody has something on John Thune

600
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: and the Senate leadership. Either that or John Thune is

601
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 4: a closet Democrat and he wants us to fail. And

602
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: I'm curious what you think about that. Our telephone number,

603
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: by the way, nine oh one two six zero five

604
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 4: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero

605
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 4: five nine two six. We're gonna be taking your calls

606
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,399
Speaker 4: in the next hour on that very issue. All right,

607
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 4: coming up, we have the Florida Speaker of the House,

608
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 4: Paul Renner. He's going to be joining us from Florida.

609
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 4: He's running for governor and he is a good guy,

610
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 4: so looking forward to having a conversation with him. Also

611
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 4: Josh Jones, a Republican strategist, and Manti Fritz, a state

612
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 4: representative running for governor in Tennessee. He'll be joining us

613
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 4: as well. And just a reminder, folks, head over in

614
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 4: the break and go check out Todd Sterns dot com.

615

00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:55,640

623
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 4: A new photograph has just been released regarding the search

624
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 4: for Savannah Guthrie's mother, and this is just a completely weird,

625
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 4: weird story. Anyway, the photo has been released and the

626
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 4: photo shows an armed suspect on Nancy Guthrie's door camera.

627
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 4: That's what it shows.

628
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 6: Now.

629
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 4: She's been missing, now a Nancy Guthrie, eighty four years old.

630
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 4: She's been missing since the night of January thirty first,

631
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 4: that's the last time anybody had seen her. The FBI

632
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 4: releasing surveillance photos of the subject. In a statement with

633
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 4: the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the FBI says the images

634
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 4: show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the

635
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

636
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 4: The FBI said that it had not identified any suspects

637
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 4: or persons of interest. You know, one of the big

638
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 4: questions I have here is the family, is the family

639
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 4: relationship and the family dynamic. I'm just I'm trying to

640
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 4: understand why Nancy Guthrie, who was at the home of

641
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: her daughter, took an uber home. There's only ten minutes away.

642
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 4: Why would you send your eighty four year old mother

643
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: who has trouble walking, Why would you put her in

644
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: an uber? Why not just drop her back off at

645
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 4: her home? Ut I don't know. Maybe maybe the investigators

646
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 4: have asked those questions. I don't know. The family believes

647
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: Guthrie is still out there and is asking for the

648
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 4: public's help in finding her. There was a video on

649
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 4: social media yesterday and Savannah Guthrie said that viewers need

650
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 4: to report anything strange to law enforcement. We're at an

651
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 4: hour of desperation and we need your help. So the

652
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 4: FBI said yesterday that they are not aware of any

653
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 4: continued communication between the Guthrie family and the suspective kidnappers.

654
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 4: There was like a big deadline yesterday five o'clock and

655
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 4: that came and went. They were asking for just million

656
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 4: I think it's eight or nine million dollars, and yeah,

657
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 4: nobody heard anything. Guthrie said they were willing to pay

658
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 4: whatever they could. Did anybody else find this story just

659
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: weird that a lot of things are just not adding up,

660
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 4: and I just don't get it. Nine oh one two

661
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 4: six zero five nine two six is our telephone number.

662
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. So, Dylan,

663
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: there was a video released and I am not a

664
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,479
Speaker 4: big horror movie guy. I never hamp in. I don't

665
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: like it that creeps me out. I get the bad

666
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 4: dreams and I have to sleep with the lights on.

667
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 4: So I don't watch these, uh these horror movies. But

668
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 4: there's one in particular that just completely grossed me out.

669
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 4: Silence of the Lambs.

670
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that's a good one, though, Todd, that's not

671
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 6: that scary.

672
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 4: No, it's it's like psychological thing.

673
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 6: This psychological because i mean, he did you know these

674
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 6: people Cannibal yet that part of it's not great, but

675
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 6: it's not like a jump scare. It is very psychological.

676
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 4: So anyway, somebody noticed that Savannah Guthrie's message and in

677
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 4: those videos that she and the siblings have been doing. Yes,

678
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: the wording was exactly the same wording that was used

679
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 4: in Silence of the Lamps.

680
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 6: I noticed that. So you love that movie, but I

681
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 6: did notice that. Yeah.

682
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 4: So anyway, here's what Savannah said. Nancy is full of

683
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 4: kindness and knowledge. Talked to her and you'll see, and

684
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: the way she said it was just kind of weird

685
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 4: and creepy. I'm just I'm just sharing. I'm not making accusations.

686
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm just saying the whole thing is weird.

687
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 6: Yeah. Other people have pointed that out too, a lot

688
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 6: of people are finding this a little.

689
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 4: I don't know what to make of it. Sketchy maybe

690
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 4: sketchy sketchy. Yeah, I like that. That's good. That's good. Anyway.

691
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 4: The same words were used in the movie when a

692
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 4: mother was speaking out to the captors of her daughter

693
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 4: the same language. Is that a coincidence? Or is there

694
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 4: something else going on here? I mean, I don't know.

695
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 4: Maybe it could be that they've got their own Hannibal

696
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 4: Lecter down in Tucson, Arizona. I don't know. I don't know.

697
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen. It's all very strange. So anyway, that's

698
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 4: the latest on the Savannah Guthrie case. It's all very strange,

699
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: all very weird. Speaking also a very strange and very

700
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 4: weird Ayanna Presley is now facing more questions. So get this.

701
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 4: This woman, her husband and God loved him, he looked,

702
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: he made some mistakes, went to prison on some drug charges,

703
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: came out of prison, and now since twenty nineteen, I

704
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 4: think twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, they had very little money

705
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: in the bank. According to financial disclosures, Presley's worth are

706
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 4: you ready for this? Presley's worth went from twelve five

707
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 4: hundred dollars before she was elected in twenty eighteen to

708
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 4: eight million dollars in twenty twenty four. How do you

709
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: think that happens? Her salary one hundred and seventy four

710
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 4: thousand dollars a year. That's how much she makes. The

711
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 4: majority of Presley's wealth is in real estate. She has

712
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: rental properties in Boston and Edgerton, Massachusetts, among other places.

713
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 4: She also purchased a home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. What's

714
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 4: up with these Democrats? You know they're down with the people,

715
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,760
Speaker 4: and they've got homes and just about every state. According

716
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 4: to her first report submitted in twenty eighteen, Presley began

717
00:44:55,960 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 4: her time in Congress with three major debt obligations that

718
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,919
Speaker 4: have only grown. She owed between six hundred and ten

719
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 4: thousand and one point two million dollars from the mortgages,

720
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: and in her most recent reporting, Presley reported three point

721
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 4: two million and nine million dollars in debt. Something very

722
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 4: strange is going on there, very strange. Indeed, Ladies and gentlemen,

723
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

724
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

725
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 4: five nine two six h Let's go to Danny and Selmer, Tennessee,

726
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 4: listening to us on KWAM. Hi, Danny, what's on your

727
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 4: mind today?

728
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 9: Oh?

729
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 10: You started off talking about the halftime show. I had

730
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 10: something I was kind of wondering about that. I think

731
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 10: I figured out what the crotch grabbing is about. I'm

732
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 10: not sure, but I believe, you know, in today's day

733
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 10: and age's all these people not knowing what gen today

734
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 10: are and stuff. I think you're reaching down there trying

735
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 10: to figure out maybe trying to figure out what he

736
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 10: is or remind himself to keep male or female, or

737
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 10: maybe trying to not die it fly what that is.

738
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 10: So sometimes he wears a dress, sometimes he wears a plant.

739
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 10: Maybe he reaches down there check and find out if

740
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 10: he's a poor or a girl.

741
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's all fluid, so you never know.

742
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 4: I mean, one song it changes, maybe it changes.

743
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 10: The other thing, you know. I mean the U with

744
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 10: the with the COVID vaccine and stuff. Uh, maybe they've

745
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 10: been checking into health issues that I was, you know,

746
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,479
Speaker 10: lung and cornery and stuff, and maybe this ties into

747
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 10: the gender misidentification and stuff, because maybe they should check

748
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 10: and see the COVID vaccine caused brain damage because a

749
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 10: lot of people seem to have lost their minds after

750
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 10: getting the COVID vaccine. I believe Danny causing I don't

751
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 10: know if I'm onto something or not, but maybe that's

752
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 10: the gender thing and the COVID vaccine and all these

753
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 10: leftists losing their minds and things. It's the COVID vaccine.

754
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 10: I don't know, just just wondering there.

755
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 4: Well, Danny, I tell you you are. You came loaded

756
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 4: for Baar today and you you may be onto something there, Danny,

757
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: thank you for calling in. Uh, he says, he's just

758
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 4: checking to see. I had suggested that maybe he was

759
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 4: dealing with an itch and maybe he needed an ointment

760
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 4: and that could be well, if that could be so distracting.

761
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 4: I mean, you're out there in front of millions of

762
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:16,359
Speaker 4: people dancing away and you know, a foreign tongue and

763
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 4: people are doing other things with their tongues all around

764
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 4: him there on the football field, and it can be

765
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 4: it can be distracting by the way. Congressman Andy Ogles

766
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 4: from Tennessee is now demanding congressional investigations. He says it

767
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 4: was an absolute disgrace and he wants Congress to com

768
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 4: I know I'm not making this updell it, don't interrupt me.

769
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 4: Congressman Ogles is demanding that Congress probe the halftime show.

770
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 4: He wants to know why people were dry humping. It's

771
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: a fair question. I guess I don't know, but I'm

772
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 4: sure people have their reasons. The congressman and literally demanding

773
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: an investigation for what he called gay pornography during the

774
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 4: Super Bowl halftime show. My question is does that wrot

775
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 4: Does the bumping and the grinding rise to pornography? Congress

776
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 4: vocals said bad Bunnies heavily sexualized performance was a disgrace

777
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 4: and mocked American families. You know, Dylan, your grandfather, my

778
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 4: great uncle Jerry Lee. Uncle Jerry Lee once said the

779
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 4: only tight ends handling balls should be on the football

780
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 4: field and not the halftime show. Very wise words, those

781
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 4: are wise. He was a wise man. God rest his soul.

782
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 4: A wise man. The congressman writing on X depicting gay

783
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 4: porn on primetime has no place in our culture. The

784
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 4: bad Bunny performance is conclusive proof that Puerto Rico should

785
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: never be a state. Well that's a bit of a stretch,

786
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 4: don't you think they're cong's We're just labeling all of

787
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 4: them okay whatever. Ogles fired off a letter to the

788
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce. That's the

789
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 4: committee that would investigate any violations of the Federal Communications

790
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 4: Commission Act. And there are FCC regulations governing explicit and

791
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 4: indecent content. And many of you are listening to this

792
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 4: program and you're like, really, we had no idea to

793
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 4: be fair, ladies and gentlemen. Bad Bunny did warn Americans

794
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 4: that his show would be a celebration of queerness, and

795
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 4: he also threatened to wear a dress. You know, he

796
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 4: didn't wear a dress. He said he was going to

797
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:44,240
Speaker 4: wear a dress. Probably didn't want to shave his legs.

798
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 4: It was a little chili there and sane. They got

799
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 4: the breeze, the.

800
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 6: Breeze San Francisco breathe.

801
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 4: You don't want the air circulating up the skirt, Yeah,

802
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 4: that's yeah, definitely couldn't air that. Nobody wants. That would

803
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 4: take care of the itch. Though, the congressman pointed out

804
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 4: the program was filled with all sorts of explicit sexual

805
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 4: references and graphic content that included oh I can't say

806
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 4: those on the radio, whoops, sexual intercourse. He referenced two

807
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 4: songs in particular, the lyrics are literally too vulgar for

808
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 4: me to mention on the radio. And we did that yesterday.

809
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 4: We did a dramatic reading yesterday of the that was

810
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 4: very well done. I thought Dylan the music made the

811
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 4: whole moment it was. Ogels also took issue with the

812
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 4: choreography that featured overtly sexualized movements, including wide spread twerking, grinding,

813
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 4: pelvic thrust, and others sexually suggestive conduct. I can't do

814
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 4: a pelvic thrust, throw my back out. You know, you

815
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: hit a certain age. You gotta be careful. Gotta be

816
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 4: careful on the dance floor. Now, the entire show, ladies

817
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, you might remember this was performed entirely in Spanish,

818
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 4: so nobody knew that they were cursing out the wazoo

819
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 4: and torquing it as well. The wasu not the language.

820
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 4: But anyway, a lot of people and many good church

821
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 4: going Americans, you know that because the music was a

822
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,680
Speaker 4: little catchy, right, you had no idea what they were saying.

823
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 4: But they had that little Latin vibe that salt some music.

824
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 4: You know, you couldn't help but tap your toe to it.

825
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 4: But they had no idea they were tapping their total

826
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 4: lyrics that would have made the people of Sodom and

827
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 4: Gomora blush. Mister Ogle's writing in his letter, The super

828
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 4: Bowl consistently the largest family viewing event in American media.

829
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 4: As such, broadcasters have a heightened responsibility to ensure that

830
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 4: programming aired during this uniquely national event complies with long

831
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 4: standing broadcast decency expectations and serves the public interest. Aroun

832
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 4: he's really wound up here, Congressman. So look, here's the deal.

833
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 4: At the very least, just throwing this out there, and

834
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 4: I'm not taking I'm not disparaging anybody culture, none of that.

835
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 4: At the very least, the NFL, they could have just

836
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 4: put up a warning label on the TV screen, warning warning,

837
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 4: two men grinding on each other coming up, you know,

838
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,440
Speaker 4: just letting parents know, giving them the options so they

839
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 4: didn't want to see, you know, two gay men doing

840
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 4: the nasty that. You know, they could just have the

841
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 4: kids go to the other room along with grandma and

842
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 4: grandpa and the rest of the god fearing members of

843
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 4: the family. Ogles continues, it was a long letter. Children

844
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 4: were forced to endure explicit displays of gay sexual acts. Really,

845
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 4: it was just really one and it wasn't that much,

846
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 4: but it was enough. Women gyrating provocatively and bad bunny

847
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 4: shamelessly grabbing his crutch while dry humping the air. Good God.

848
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:09,879
Speaker 4: Congressman Ogles makes a very compelling argument here because I'm

849
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,399
Speaker 4: just gonna speak. This is just my truth, all right.

850
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody wants to see grown adults dry

851
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 4: humping anything while you're there trying to eat your barbecue cocktail.

852
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 4: Weeni's at the super Bowl party. I'm just saying. But overall,

853
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 4: may I just put a pin in this for a moment,

854
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 4: all that to say? And I appreciate where the Congressman's

855
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 4: coming from here, I really do. But doesn't congress have

856
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 4: more pressing matters they need to be attending to? Just

857
00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,760
Speaker 4: asking nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

858
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 4: That's nine o one two six zero five nine two six.

859
00:53:51,800 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 4: This is the Tom Sterns Show, all right, Welcome back, everybody.

860
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 4: Lets go to the phones. Lee and Memphis, Tennessee listening

861
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 4: to us on k w A M. Hi, Lee, what's

862
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,919
Speaker 4: on your mind today?

863
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 9: I'll be honest with you. What's that congressman name? What's state?

864
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 9: Who was he?

865
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 4: Andy Ogles? He represents Middle Tennessee, sort of like the

866
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 4: Nashville the Burbs.

867
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 9: Oh my god, thank god for him. I agree with

868
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 9: you and that congressman. I mean, we have these cities.

869
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 9: I'm just staying like San Francisco, the Solomon of the

870
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 9: United States, Atlanta, they go Mario of the United States.

871
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 9: We got to stop this stuff. Man, It's ridiculous because

872
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 9: most of the people that I talked to, they say

873
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 9: they love the head Pan show. And what you're telling

874
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 9: me is true. The two men's up there grinding each.

875
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 4: Other, they were believe yeah, they were grinding there.

876
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 6: It was.

877
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 4: They left very little to the imaginationally.

878
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 9: Cold bloody.

879
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 4: Let me just say this, if this would have happened

880
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: in a Baptist church, the Women's Missionary Union would have

881
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 4: haul hauled off and slapped them upside the head with

882
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 4: a cast iron skillet.

883
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 9: You right, Just think about shows that the NFL hair

884
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 9: like the bra Alpha Jenny Jack can help.

885
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 10: I mean that Nipple Gate, Yes, yeah, and.

886
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 9: They talk about the hell of sex to a herodage

887
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 9: that happened, but when they come to the homework, they glorified.

888
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 9: I can't understand.

889
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 4: Oh my god, well that was wasn't that well? Nipple Gate.

890
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 4: That was when Janet Jackson showed a little bit of

891
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 4: boobage and Justin Timberlake was that was that, That was

892
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 4: the moment that Justin Timberlake's voice changed.

893
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 9: Mm hmm. You know this hair sexual and a lot

894
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 9: of people got problems with that. But when it comes

895
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 9: to stuff like that, hairfect homosexual, Oh my god, and

896
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 9: no outbursts about it, and they did. It was great, wonderful.

897
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 4: All right, Lee, gotta run, my friend, Thank you for that.

898
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 4: Uh wow, all right, hang tide, everybody, I gotta take

899
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 4: a quick break. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right, Jo,

900
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 4: you can't any the Olympics, Banny Chance, are you a

901
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 4: Winter Olympic nine?

902
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 6: You know, I'm typically not. But right after the Super

903
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 6: Bowl they were airing some of the Olympics and I

904
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,240
Speaker 6: caught a little bit of the ice skating.

905
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 4: The one of the curlers and I don't know how

906
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 4: to say the guy's last name, and I really don't

907
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 4: care anyway, he hates America. Take a listen to this.

908
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 11: First of all, I like to say I'm proud to

909
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 11: be here to represent Team USA and to represent our country.

910
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 4: But but we'd be remiss.

911
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 11: If we didn't at least mention what's going on in

912
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 11: Minnesota and what a tough time it's been for everybody.

913
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 11: This stuff is happening right right around where we live.

914
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 11: And uh, I am a lawyer, as you know, and

915
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 11: we do the cost. We have a constitution and it

916
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 11: allows us to freedom of the press and freedom of speech,

917
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 11: protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, and makes it

918
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 11: that we have to you know, have probable cause to

919
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 11: be pulled over. And what's happening in Minnesota is wrong.

920
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 11: There's no shades of gray. It's clear.

921
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm done with this guy. By what's going on

922
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 4: in the background. It sounds like they're like in the

923
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 4: kitchen and somebody's doing the dishes. It's the Olympics, a

924
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 4: little cheap, a little cheap this year, maybe in a

925
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 4: much of a budget. Look, this guy's am mollro on

926
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 4: And what bothers me here is yeah, he's got a

927
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 4: right to say whatever he wants to say, but you

928
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 4: don't have a right to do that and be on

929
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 4: Team USA. You are there representing your country, not yourself,

930
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 4: not your point of view, not your politics, none of that.

931
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 4: And if you can't come to terms with that, then

932
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 4: that is on you and you do not belong in

933
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: Italy right now. And the reality is for most of

934
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 4: these kids who are I mean this guy as an attorney,

935
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 4: but most of them, this is it for them, this

936
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 4: is the Olympics, and then they go and they become

937
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 4: insurance agents or they go work the stock room at

938
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 4: TJ Max. I mean, that's just the reality of it.

939
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 4: So again my issue is with the athletes and with

940
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 4: these moron reporters who were asking these questions. That's who

941
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: I've got a bigger problem with. All right, let's go

942
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 4: to the Patriot Mobile. Newsmaker lineslo or a good friend

943
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 4: Josh Jones, Republican strategist, Josh, I could like see you

944
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 4: as like, I don't know a speed skater or a curler.

945
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't say them one much for the Winter Olympics.

946
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 2: But you know, to Dylan's point, I did watch a

947
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 2: little bit of after.

948
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 4: The Super Bowls, so I wouldn't take you as a

949
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 4: figure skinter. You're not a very graceful person, but you

950
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 4: can probably lift a girl, you know, well not one

951
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 4: of the large gals, but you know, you can probably

952
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 4: lift somebody in the air.

953
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: I will say. I think for the very first time

954
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 2: a couple of months ago, very first time in my life,

955
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: I was awful at it. So maybe I'm built for

956
00:59:59,840 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: this somewhere. Olympics.

957
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 4: All right, we'll get in to the like pole vaulting

958
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,959
Speaker 4: or something, right, or hold on, what's the one where

959
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 4: you got a broom?

960
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 5: Is that?

961
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 4: It's a broom and you're like, you're you're shuttling this

962
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 4: little What is that called, Dylan, I don't.

963
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 6: Know the official name, but that's pretty good. I like

964
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 6: the description of that.

965
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 4: Or pickleball would be a great I think, Actually, can

966
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 4: you throw a punch? I mean we can get like

967
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 4: a lightweight.

968
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Look, I can do some kind of running thing.

969
01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 4: Maybe, Oh that's good. All right, that's good. All right,

970
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 4: Well we'll pencil you if you need sponsors. Let us know, uh, Josh,

971
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 4: before we in all seriousness when it comes to the Olympics.

972
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 4: Does that bother you that that you've got these athletes?

973
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 4: It used to not be like this, you know, people

974
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 4: used to be so excited to play for America.

975
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right. I mean, look at the end

976
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: of the day, you know, everybody has the right to

977
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 2: their opinion. They're putting view on things. Where they agree

978
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 2: with you or not, that's beyond the point. But when

979
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: you're representing the country overseas, particularly at the Olympics or

980
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 2: that sort of capacity, this isn't meant to be a

981
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 2: political event. This is the biggest sporting event of the world,

982
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 2: and you know have its over two years. You have

983
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics and he has a Summer Olympics. It's

984
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: not meant to be about politics. Look like I said,

985
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 2: You're welcome to voice your grievances in your own private capacity,

986
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 2: but when you're elevated by a platform being on Team USA,

987
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 2: it should be about the Olympics in the sport, not

988
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 2: about your personal viewpoint.

989
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 4: Well said, you know, we've been following the developments not

990
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 4: just out of Virginia but now Maryland, where looks like

991
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 4: the Democrats are going to completely eliminate all Republican congressional districts.

992
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 4: There's only one so that so belongs to Andy Harris,

993
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 4: Chairman of the House Reading Caucus. And in your state,

994
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 4: your home state, the Commonwealth of Virginia. What they're going

995
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 4: to eliminate to what all but one? Is that the plan?

996
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what they're currently doing is right now,

997
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 2: Virginia is fairly split down the middle. There's six Democrat

998
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 2: representatives in the House and then I Republicans, and they're

999
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 2: redrawing that map to be ten Democrats and one Republican.

1000
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 2: UH and the governor and newly elected governor Abigelschenberger, who

1001
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 2: pretends to be this moderate and the campaign is fully

1002
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 2: on board with their agenda. So that's where we're at

1003
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: in the process right now.

1004
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 4: Does it does it have to go before voters? And

1005
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 4: if so, will that happen before the elections in November

1006
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 4: in the midterms.

1007
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 2: Pending a yes. So basically, right now it's being litigated

1008
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 2: in the courts whether or not this is a legal process.

1009
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 2: That's the House Democrats and House Senate members are pursuing.

1010
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 2: So it's in the courts right now. It's been elevated

1011
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 2: to the Virginia Supreme Court. Are waiting to hear back

1012
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 2: from them. Assuming they say this is okay, it's legal,

1013
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 2: you can move forward. We'll go to a referendum to

1014
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 2: Virginia voters in April I believe depending day is April eleventh,

1015
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 2: but sometime in mid April.

1016
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 4: Well, this is really shocking to see how all of

1017
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 4: this is playing out, and yet the Republicans, for example

1018
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 4: in Indiana, they're they're standing their ground. They refuse to

1019
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 4: do what you know to the Democrats. What the Democrats

1020
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 4: are doing to Republicans in Virginia.

1021
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I mean it is a political kni fi

1022
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 2: and that's what's happening around the country right now. Clearly,

1023
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to Virginia, Democrats are not pulling

1024
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: any of their punches. I mean they are absolutely dragging

1025
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 2: most aggressive maps they can essentially to lock in this

1026
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 2: Democrat majority, all under disguise them leveling the playing field

1027
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 2: and making it fair. But really this is just a

1028
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 2: power graph by radical leftists and Richmond who now control

1029
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 2: all three branches of the government and are using this

1030
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: opportunity to seize power.

1031
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 4: I'm wondering, how is are you hearing any rumblings from

1032
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 4: even Democrats like in the you know, among the citizenry

1033
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 4: there about all of these taxes that they're handing in

1034
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 4: there was it fifty plus taxes.

1035
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it is the single largest amount of proposed

1036
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 2: tax increases in Virginia history.

1037
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

1038
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 2: And to your point, uh uh, I'm gonna go to

1039
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 2: Spenberger and other Democrats I'm about this. Last November ran

1040
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: as moderates saying, you know, we're gonna go back to

1041
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: the middle of the road, a sense of bipartisanship, all

1042
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 2: this other stuff. And then they get into office and

1043
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 2: they're just proposing all these tax increases. I mean, from

1044
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 2: a gym membership tax to a dog walking tax, to

1045
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 2: every Amazon delivery has a new four percent tax on it.

1046
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 11: Uh.

1047
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, a lot of the Democrats are people who

1048
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 2: voted Democrats last election.

1049
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:36,800
Speaker 7: Uh.

1050
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 2: I've spoken to quite a few who have been like,

1051
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 2: this isn't what I voted for. I thought I was

1052
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: voting for, you know, the middle of the road, by

1053
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,320
Speaker 2: partisan don't rock the vote, not fifty new taxes in

1054
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 2: the first couple of weeks.

1055
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 4: I'm curious though about you know, not not just Virginia,

1056
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 4: but when you you look at the midterms as a whole.

1057
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 4: I'm curious to your thoughts on Senate majority of r.

1058
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 4: John Throne, because I genuine Winley don't know what is

1059
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 4: going on there. We played some audio from CNN just

1060
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 4: a little while ago. Seventy six percent of Black American

1061
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 4: support voter ID, eighty two percent of Latino Americans support

1062
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 4: voter ID and yet he is just not going to

1063
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 4: budge on getting this legislation passed through the Senate, something

1064
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 4: the House did over three hundred days ago. I mean, Josh,

1065
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 4: why would the Senate majority leader do something like that

1066
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 4: knowing the majority of the American people are actually on

1067
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 4: the Republican side here.

1068
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 2: That's a good question, Todd. I mean, it's a pretty

1069
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 2: straightforward bill, all things considered, mean and like you mentioned,

1070
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 2: the House has already passed this, so it's on the

1071
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 2: Senate to take the action to bring it up for

1072
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 2: a floor vote. And look, maybe Soon thinks he doesn't

1073
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: have the votes to get it through the Senate and

1074
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,479
Speaker 2: that's why he doesn't want to bring it to the floor.

1075
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,040
Speaker 2: That'll say, bring me to the floor anyways, force a vote,

1076
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 2: force people to pick aside, and then at least you

1077
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 2: didn't know where people stand, because, like you mentioned, the

1078
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 2: vast majority of Americans across all demographics support voter IDs,

1079
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 2: just simple common sense legislation. So the fact that the

1080
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 2: Senate is in taking this a quarter vote right away,

1081
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 2: I just don't get it.

1082
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't either, and I'm just genuinely concerned this

1083
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 4: may be our last chance. There is some reporting out there.

1084
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 4: I believe it was Cook who said even the Senate

1085
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 4: may now be in play as a result of you know,

1086
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 4: the en action if that happens. And again, I think

1087
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 4: that's going to be a long shot. I mean we're

1088
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 4: looking at what eight possible seats. I think we're going

1089
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 4: to be fine. But still the idea that we could

1090
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 4: be in danger in the Senate, what does that tell you.

1091
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: Look, I mean the political landscape for revolverers right now

1092
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 2: is looking pretty bleak. And look, I say that as

1093
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 2: someone who works on the Republican side of the aisle

1094
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: in elections, and I'm not saying that as a necessary

1095
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 2: just you know, criticism for the take of criticism, but

1096
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 2: because I care and I want our team to do good.

1097
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 2: So look, mid terms they're looking rough right now, but

1098
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 2: we Republicans still have time. It's only the beginning of

1099
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 2: the year. If Congress can get their apps together and

1100
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 2: pass some of these key pieces of legislation, uh, and

1101
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 2: get out there and get on the campaign trot and say,

1102
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 2: look what we're doing in DC is working. Rehire us

1103
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 2: to do it. You know, they keep it going for

1104
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 2: another two years. That could be a winning message. But look,

1105
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 2: we're in an uphill battle right now. And also, you know,

1106
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 2: some just general analysis is typically the party who owns

1107
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 2: the White House loses seats in the midterms. That typically happens.

1108
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying, you know, it's not to be

1109
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 2: expected to a degree, but I mean Republicans has to

1110
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: be fighting tooth and now they keep a majority, Otherwise

1111
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,439
Speaker 2: the next two years they're just gonna be a total

1112
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 2: stall out.

1113
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 4: All right, Josh, We're gonna leave it there. We'll let

1114
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 4: you get back to training for the summer games. They thought.

1115
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 4: I agree, all right, good man. Right there, Ladies and gentlemen,

1116
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 4: Josh Jones are Republicans strategies keeping an eye on things

1117
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 4: up in Washington for us, you know, I am. We've

1118
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 4: been talking a lot about about AI and all the weird, crazy,

1119
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 4: bad things about AI. I was talking to a good

1120
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 4: friend of mine the other day. His name is Michael Yusef.

1121
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 4: Many of you know him from his church there in

1122
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 4: the Atlanta area. His National Ministry one of the most

1123
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 4: brilliant minds I know, and they are coming up with

1124
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 4: some new technology that is going to really, I think,

1125
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 4: revolutionize the way we study the Bible. It's something called

1126
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 4: my Faith Assistant. It's a Bible based AI tool. This

1127
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 4: is the most incredible thing here and it's pretty awesome,

1128
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 4: and I want you to I want you to get

1129
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 4: something to write down so you can get information on

1130
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 4: how to get this. It's completely free, there is no

1131
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 4: logan required, none of that. It's called my Faith Assistant

Speaker 4: dot com. My Faith Assistant dot com, completely free, there's

1133
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 4: no login required. But this is pretty awesome. You know,

1134
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 4: a lot of Christians have tried to use online AI

1135
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 4: tools just to ask basic Bible questions and instead, and

1136
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 4: I've tried this with chat GPT, you get vague, misleading,

1137
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 4: and quite frankly in some unbiblical answers. And that is

1138
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 4: very concerning. And especially if you're trying to study your

1139
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 4: Bible and you're wanting to find some sort of an

1140
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 4: online help for you. You want something that is going to

1141
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 4: be reliable. So technology is not the problem. You've got

1142
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 4: to make sure your technology is tethered to the truth.

1143
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,799
Speaker 4: Otherwise you're just going to get You're going to get lost,

1144
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 4: which is why a pastor Yusef and his ministry leading

1145
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 4: the way created My Faith Assistant. It's pretty cool. This

1146
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 4: is not some sort of like a generic chatbot. This

1147
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 4: is a Bible anchored, theologically vetted tool and it's built

1148
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 4: on scripture and seminary level resources, so you know it's

1149
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 4: going to be great. And it's also been shaped by

1150
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 4: more than fifty years of the teaching of doctor Yusef.

1151
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 4: And he is again not only is he a pastor,

1152

01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 4: cultural anthropologist. A lot of people may not know that

1154
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:18,360

1194
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 4: is on the line. Jerry, what's going on?

1195
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, guys, I'm noticing the Olympics in the anti Western sentiment.

1196
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 12: They got their anti Israel. They booed when Israel walked out,

1197
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 12: they booed when jd Vance was on the screen. And

1198
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 12: these few woke Olympians they join in the hate. They

1199
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 12: like the illegal alien voting in Iowa. They disparaged the

1200
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 12: efforts of our honorable Ice agents. And I just want

1201
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 12: to say I appreciate, I support their right to devoice

1202
01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 12: their disgust for American immigration enforcement, but I am embarrassed

1203
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 12: by their opinions being so anti American. I wish I

1204
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:25,640
Speaker 12: find myself wishing someone else had their skills h to

1205
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 12: represent US. I don't like I'm ashamed of them. I

1206
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 12: hate to say that. I wish they would reverse immigrate

1207
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 12: to some of the some of these other maybe they

1208
01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 12: could go win medals for Syria or Russia or Nicaragua.

1209
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 12: I'd gladly trade them for Olympic contestants who actually honor America.

1210
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 12: And I would just like to apologize to Israel that

1211
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 12: any for any apathetic, ugly Americans that that booed them

1212
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 12: during the ceremonies. So I'm not proud of what they're doing.

1213
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 12: And i wish they would just stick to sports and

1214
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:06,639
Speaker 12: support legal immigration like their ancestors did.

1215
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's a fair point there, Jerry, and I will

1216
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 4: say this, Maybe this is a good place to end

1217
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 4: this hour of the show with US men's ice hockey team.

1218
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,120
Speaker 4: Those guys are patriots, and I want you to listen

1219
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 4: to what this one young man said when he was

1220
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 4: asked the same question everybody else has been getting.

1221
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:27,679
Speaker 6: I mean, this is the world.

1222
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 13: Be able to represent the US at the stage a

1223
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 13: motion and the Olympics is one of the greatest honors

1224
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 13: that I've ever had, So I'm truly grateful to be

01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 4: cover and Florida is one of the big stories of

1274
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 4: this election cycle. And Florida, just like Tennessee, a red

1275
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 4: state of super red state, and our next guest wants

1276
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 4: to keep it that way. He is currently the Speaker

Speaker 4: of the House in Florida and he joins us on

1278
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:56,360

1279
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 4: to have you.

1280
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 2: With us, Tod fantastic to be with you.

1281
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,840
Speaker 4: And you have decided to throw your hat in the

1282
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 4: ring to be the next governor of the state of Florida.

1283
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 4: Why do you want the job?

1284
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 2: Well, we don't want to go backwards. And I actually

1285
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 2: exited a speaker in twenty twenty four and I helped

1286
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 2: build the pre state of Florida with Governor to Santas.

1287
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 2: We want a fighter like him, and there's simply nobody

1288
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 2: else with the record of leadership and results. Then me

1289
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,759
Speaker 2: to take our state into the next eight years.

1290
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 4: What are some of the big issues that you see

1291
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 4: are facing the good people there in Florida.

1292
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 2: Well, like any people in the country, affordability. The cost

1293
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 2: of things have gone up far faster than incomes, whether

1294
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 2: that's property taxes, insurance, electric rates. I have a plan

1295
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 2: for all of those to lower prices and help make

1296
01:18:46,439 --> 01:18:48,679
Speaker 2: sure that people have more money in their pocket.

1297
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 4: You know, one of the big things that we've been following,

1298
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 4: and I know this is a big issue for you

1299
01:18:56,040 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 4: when it comes to immigration and deporting the illegals and

1300
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 4: making sure that bad people are not wandering around praying

1301
01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 4: on law abiding American citizens.

1302
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,400
Speaker 12: Well, that's right.

1303
01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 2: And we get asked this question, well, all this money

1304
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 2: we spent on Alligator Alcatraz, and it's really worth it.

1305
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 2: My response is the cost of free education, the cost

1306
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 2: of free healthcare, the cost of fentanyl and human trafficking,

1307
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 2: and both the traffickers and the traffic is so much greater.

1308
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:29,759
Speaker 2: Illegal immigration is an enormous burden social compt on our country,

1309
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 2: and so getting that under control, as President Trump, is

1310
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 2: done by first of all, securing the border. That is

1311
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 2: the easiest and fastest way to fix the problem, not

1312
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:41,679
Speaker 2: making any worse, but we have a lot of people

1313
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 2: that need to be removed that are dangerous to our

1314
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 2: communities and just shouldn't be here. They're not here legally,

1315
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 2: and so we've been a model. The governor has to

1316
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 2: support federal authorities and that effort.

1317
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting that you mentioned that, because you're right,

1318
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,640
Speaker 4: the border has been secured and that was a very

1319
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:03,040
Speaker 4: simple thing for the president to do. The bigger challenge,

1320
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 4: of course, is rounding up all the people that are

1321
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 4: here illegally living off the hard working American taxpayers. How

1322
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,160
Speaker 4: do you feel about the work that Ice has been doing.

1323
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 4: And I know there's been a lot of talk even

1324
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 4: among Republicans about whether or not we should ease up

1325
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,959
Speaker 4: a little bit. What say you, Well, what I say.

1326
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 2: Is that leftist leaders Tim Wallas, the people are the

1327
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 2: big mayor of Minneapolis, have stoked an atmosphere that is

1328
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,759
Speaker 2: conducive and they know this is conducive to creating violent

1329
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 2: moments like we've seen up there, and it's reprehensible if

1330
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 2: I had them in Florida, if they mayor did that

1331
01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,600
Speaker 2: in Florida, I would remove them as governor in a heartbeat.

1332
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 2: And these guys need to be able to do their jobs.

1333
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,520
Speaker 2: Here in Florida. We don't allow that kind of activity.

1334
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 2: You can protest, you can scream and shout your views,

1335
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 2: that's your first amendment, right, Well, we're not going to

1336
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:57,160
Speaker 2: let you get in and harass law enforcement in the

1337
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:58,759
Speaker 2: conduct of their legal duties.

1338
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 4: The Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, Paul Renner wants to be

1339
01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 4: the next governor of Florida, and you've got some competition there,

1340
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,639
Speaker 4: Congressman Byron Donalds. And you've been pretty outspoken and critical

1341
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,759
Speaker 4: of him. The headline from the Florida Phoenix, for example,

1342
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:21,080
Speaker 4: Paul Renner says, Byron Donalds has enriched himself in office.

1343
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that, Well, we file disclosures

1344
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 2: here in Florida. When he was with me in the

1345
01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 2: Florida House, you went into Congress worth two or three

1346
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, and his network has gone up ten times

1347
01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 2: and five years in office, and he has not done

1348
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 2: the people's business. He has a very thin record of accomplishment,

1349
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 2: no real leadership experience in his entire life. In contrast,

1350
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 2: I spent twenty years in the military, served in two wars,

1351
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 2: was a state attorney, and of course a very successful

1352
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 2: Speaker of the House, and the governor called it the

1353
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:56,280
Speaker 2: two most consequential years anytime anywhere in any legislature. And

1354
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 2: so you've got to have a leader in somebody whose

1355
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 2: actually we got to all say whatever we say and paign,

1356
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,920
Speaker 2: but somebody's actually delivered, shown up and delivered results. I've

1357
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 2: beaten the left multiple times. It's what drives me. Where

1358
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 2: there was Amendment three and four, the Pottent abortion amendments,

1359
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 2: where a lot of these guys made a tweet or something,

1360
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 2: but that doesn't get it done. I spent two million

1361
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 2: dollars in travel the state to stop an extreme abortion amendment.

1362
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:21,759
Speaker 2: That's what leaders do. It wasn't in my requirement as speaker.

1363
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 2: That's what the governor did. People who want somebody like

1364
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 2: the Stantus and the governor said as much about the

1365
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 2: Congressman that he's never shown up for the big battles

1366
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 2: that made for what it is today.

1367
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 4: You can't take stock and polls, but there is a

1368
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 4: poll out there and people could read into it what

1369
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 4: they want to. Byron Donald's is leading with a significant

1370
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 4: lead right now. James Fishback, who I think is very

1371
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 4: concerning to a lot of conservatives out there has some

1372
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 4: pretty good percentages as well. And then you what is

1373
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 4: it going to take to make that leap and make

1374
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:00,839
Speaker 4: this a truly competitive for governor.

1375
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's a long game. It's a long extended job

1376
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 2: interview for who should leave the third largest state in America.

1377
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 2: And we see the excitement at the grassroots level. The

1378
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 2: leader in the polls right now is undecided. And that

1379
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 2: needs to be said too. For all of the time

1380
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 2: that Congress McDonald's miss votes in Congress, he's got a

1381
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,600
Speaker 2: terrible voting record and has been on TV trying to

1382
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 2: self promote, he's still behind undecided. Most people don't know

1383
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 2: who's in the race, and that includes myself, And so

1384
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 2: it's really about getting out, getting on shows like yours,

1385
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: talking about vision. We're the only ones with a vision

1386
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 2: to bring down costs to in sex trafficking, to stop

1387
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 2: corruption in politics, and institutionalize our doge efforts. Here we're

1388
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 2: laying out a systematic, solid conservative agenda. I've got the

1389
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 2: care for, the confidence and the courage to deliver on

1390
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,719
Speaker 2: it because I've proven that you don't have to guess.

1391
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:52,760
Speaker 2: I've shown up and delivered, and I'll do it again

1392
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 2: as governor.

1393
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 4: And you also have just a solid background. I mean,

1394
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,720
Speaker 4: you're a former prosecutor, you served in the Navy or

1395
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 4: a Navy veteran, and you're pretty well versed on the

1396
01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:06,520
Speaker 4: big issues of the day, from border control, crime and immigration.

1397
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's right. And we did everything from universal school choice,

1398
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 2: pushing back on esg ending DEI programs, standing up for

1399
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 2: life with a Heartbeat Protection Act, Second Amendment, constitutional carry,

1400
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: and the list goes on and on and on. And

1401
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 2: you mentioned protecting our children online from online pornography and

1402
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 2: addictive social media platforms one of the leading bills, something

1403
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 2: I spent hours with constitutional lawyers to make sure because

1404
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 2: we knew big tech lobbied up and they did, and

1405
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 2: they said, well, we'll just be to in court. Rather

1406
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 2: than make it more child friendly, which they could be

1407
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 2: easily done under our bill, they've decided to sue in

1408
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,360
Speaker 2: court to keep those kids addicted. And we know it's

1409
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 2: safer for your kid in a city park at night

1410
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 2: alone than it is on their digital device while mom

1411
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 2: and dad's sleep. I let on this issue, I will

1412
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,400
Speaker 2: protect our children and protect our streets. As a former prosecutor,

1413
01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: I take that very seriously. And again we're going to

1414
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 2: end the victimization of children and trafficking and this kind

1415
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 2: of stuff we read about Jeffrey Epstein will stop in

1416
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 2: the state of Florida.

1417
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 4: We have a lot of listeners in Florida and they

1418
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 4: tell us one of the big problems is the property tax.

1419
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 4: It's so high. What would you do if you were

1420
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:12,800
Speaker 4: a governor? How would you handle that?

1421
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 2: So a couple of different steps, and first of all,

1422
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 2: the problem. The problem is that property taxes have gone

1423
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,840
Speaker 2: up about twice as fast as people's incomes. And fundamentally,

1424
01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 2: as a conservative, we all believe that government should never

1425
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,160
Speaker 2: grow faster than our incomes can afford. But that's what's happened.

1426
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 2: So there's this huge windfall. They have been talking in

1427
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,320
Speaker 2: the legislature and as I said, I turned out in

1428
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 2: twenty four for all twenty twenty five taxes went out.

1429
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 2: Twenty six, our taxes are going up again, and they've

1430
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 2: yet to come up with a single proposal that the

1431
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 2: governor can get on board with. And the governor's talked

1432
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 2: about eliminating home to property taxes. I agree with him

1433
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 2: to say that once you live in your home for

1434
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 2: thirty years, there should be a point at which they

1435
01:25:49,720 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 2: can't take your home because you are on fixed income,

1436
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 2: you lose your job, you get sick, and you can't

1437
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: pay your property taxes. Ownership should mean ownership in America.

1438
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,560
Speaker 2: And so I'm all for the Boulder tax form. But

1439
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,679
Speaker 2: the first step can be a rollback, which was done

1440
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. It's the one thing we can do legislatively.

1441
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 2: As a former speaker, this could be done in two

1442
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,000
Speaker 2: days and you simply roll back to whatever people paid,

1443
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 2: say in twenty twenty four, and that benefits businesses, homestead,

1444
01:26:14,479 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 2: non homestead. Everybody gets a lowered tax bill. And let's

1445
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:21,559
Speaker 2: do that, but then in place while we wait for

1446
01:26:21,600 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 2: the legislature to do its job this year. And I'm

1447
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 2: calling on them again today to stop talking and deliver

1448
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:30,639
Speaker 2: results for people. We have people leaving our state because

1449
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 2: it can no longer afford to live here because of

1450
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: the cost of living.

1451
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's and that's just that's just not right. And

1452
01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 4: I'm glad to see you guys are going to be

1453
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 4: all over that story real quick before we let you go.

1454
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,280
Speaker 4: Some national news coming out of Florida. We understand driver's

1455
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 4: license test now only given an English Do you how

1456
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 4: do you stand on that?

1457
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 6: One.

1458
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:52,479
Speaker 2: Well, I'm all for it. I mean, imagine you can't

1459
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,799
Speaker 2: read a stop sign. The word stop means you're supposed

1460
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 2: to stop and not go through the intersection. I mean,

1461
01:26:57,720 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 2: this is just fundamental common sense. I'm a little embarrassed

1462
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 2: we didn't realize this beforehand and do it. But the

1463
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 2: Governor's done it. I applaud him for doing it. It's

1464
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 2: the same kind of common sense conservative leadership you're going

1465
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,439
Speaker 2: to get from me. Uh, we've got to we've got

1466
01:27:09,439 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 2: to protect protect our citizens, and that's one clear way

1467
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 2: to do it.

1468
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 7: Well.

1469
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 4: The former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives joining

1470
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 4: us here on the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, I just

1471
01:27:20,280 --> 01:27:23,200
Speaker 4: want to circle back one more time to mister Donald's.

1472
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 4: Congressman Donald's, it is troubling when when you see someone

1473
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:31,679
Speaker 4: going into Congress and all of a sudden they become,

1474
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 4: you know, a multi millionaire almost overnight. We see this

1475
01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 4: on the Democrat side of the aisle, and we rightly

1476
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:42,080
Speaker 4: condemn it. This is very disturbing, Uh, that that these

1477
01:27:42,200 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 4: numbers that are coming out when it comes to the Congressman.

1478
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 2: Well represented Luma Luna has a discharged petition to get

1479
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,719
Speaker 2: after inside her trading. He's one of the Florida congressmen

1480
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 2: who is not signed on to it. I called him

1481
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: out for it. I support her effort. I support Ashley Moody,

1482
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,559
Speaker 2: our senator's effort, and she hasn't even more comprehensive bill

1483
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 2: that gets after blind trust. So it's truly you can

1484
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 2: have mutual funds and you can invest, but you can't

1485
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,480
Speaker 2: buy and sell stocks. And he's been on a committee

1486
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 2: that oversees those companies that he's trading stocks in, and

1487
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 2: so it's just exactly what people are disgusted about about

1488
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 2: politicians left and right. We need people who are committed

1489
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 2: to service. I've spent a time and with leadership, under

1490
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 2: pressure and positions Acruss my entire life, and it's what

1491
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 2: I what drives me. And beating the left and preserving

1492
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 2: this beautiful state of Florida is what I'll commit to

1493
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 2: and promise people I will deliver on on Governor.

1494
01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 4: I love this and the website vote Renter dot com.

1495
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 4: That's vote Renterer dot com and you'll be able to

1496
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 4: find out all of the issues. This is what I

1497
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 4: love and it's a Florida first. I love Florida first.

1498
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 4: Paul nothing wrong with that.

1499
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 2: And nothing at all. We're focusing on the problems of Floridians.

1500
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 2: I'm not running for vice president or anything else other

1501
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,640
Speaker 2: than to be a great governor and solve problems to

1502
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 2: make people's lives better.

1503
01:28:58,280 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 4: All right, Paul, we'd love to get you back while

1504
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 4: and you know, we'll talk more about the issues and

1505
01:29:02,800 --> 01:29:06,320
Speaker 4: the campaign. We wish you the very best and thanks

1506
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:07,120
Speaker 4: for joining.

1507
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 6: Us today, Todd.

1508
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:09,639
Speaker 2: Thanks God bless you.

1509
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 4: All Right, there you go, ladies and gentlemen. Paul Renner

1510
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 4: and he's running for governor. He's a good guy. He's

1511
01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 4: one of the good guys. And it is disturbing to

1512
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 4: see the ways that Congressman Donald's has his bank accounts

1513
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 4: have grown since he's been in Congress. I do believe

1514
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 4: that this is an issue that impacts both political parties,

1515
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 4: and that's one of the reasons. That's one of the

1516
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 4: reasons why we've got so many problems with Republicans backtracking

1517
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 4: and refusing to advance the president's agenda. So i'd encourage

1518
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 4: you to go check this guy out, you Florida. I

1519
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 4: know we have a lot of Florida listeners. What did

1520
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:48,759
Speaker 4: you think about this guy? Paul Renner, you're former Speaker

1521
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 4: of the House there in Florida. Give us a call.

1522
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1523
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,320
Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

1524
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:07,040
Speaker 4: This is the Todd Sterns Show. Well you folks in Gainesville,

1525
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:13,720
Speaker 4: Georgia making national news yesterday. This was happening during the

1526
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 4: Ton Sterns radio show. An airplane crashed on one of

1527
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:23,360
Speaker 4: the main roads in Gainsville. This was insane. We understand

1528
01:30:23,560 --> 01:30:28,040
Speaker 4: that the plane was managed to land, but it hit

1529
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:32,679
Speaker 4: three cars on on the roadway and the two people

1530
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 4: on board actually survived the plane crash. There there there

1531
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 4: in the hospital. They may have been released by now.

1532
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 4: They were not seriously injured. But this is really quite something.

1533
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 11: Uh.

1534
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 4: The plane took off from the Gainesville airport was heading

1535
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:50,080
Speaker 4: over to Cherokee County, Georgia. The NTSB said it was

1536
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 4: a beachcraft bonanza. Any of you folks see all of this.

1537
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 4: I got to I know one of our one of

1538
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 4: our WDU enlists had to have seen this. The airplane

1539
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 4: and apparently didn't have enough power to make it to

1540
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 4: the airport. There was something wrong with the engine and

1541
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,600
Speaker 4: so they tried to turn back the pilot had to

1542
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 4: make had to make a forced landing on the road,

1543
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,120
Speaker 4: and they were scoping out options and that was it.

1544
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:18,559
Speaker 4: And this incredibly busy roadway they say hundreds of thousands

1545
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 4: of cars used this in every day. This according to WSBTV. Anyway,

1546
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 4: the pilot and they have all of this on the transcripts,

1547
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 4: the air traffic control recordings, and you can hear the

1548
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 4: pilot sending out a warning saying, may day, we're not

1549
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 4: going to make it. Please tell my wife Molly, I

1550
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:41,599
Speaker 4: love her, and my parents I love them so much.

1551
01:31:42,200 --> 01:31:44,960
Speaker 4: And then they made the landing. Well, the good news

1552
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,960
Speaker 4: is he's going to be able to tell his wife

1553
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,760
Speaker 4: that in person. I have to imagine that's going to

1554
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 4: be a mighty special Valentine's Day for the two people

1555
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 4: on board. Anyway, what a good story and well done

1556
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,640
Speaker 4: to the pilot. I mean they just sort of it

1557
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:01,439
Speaker 4: was like threading a needle again. That play all captured

1558
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 4: on video, by the way, just remarkable. By the way,

1559
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 4: another story out of Gainesville, you guys could be getting

1560
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:13,519
Speaker 4: an ice detention facility, and apparently there are a lot

1561
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 4: of people that are upset about this. The city of Oakwood, Georgia,

1562
01:32:18,320 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 4: says they've learned that the federal government wants to buy

1563
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 4: some property in Hall County and turn it into an

1564
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 4: ice facility. The city manager says he was blindsided because

1565
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 4: they haven't spoken to anybody at Homeland Security or at ICE.

1566
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 4: If the plan goes through, the building will house which

1567
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 4: is right now used. I don't know what they used

1568
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:44,560
Speaker 4: to house it, but it could house fifteen hundred illegals.

1569
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 4: The city manager says, we've been sidelined and steam rolled over.

1570
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:55,320
Speaker 4: You know, you folks in DeSoto County or Marshall County

1571
01:32:55,720 --> 01:32:59,000
Speaker 4: right in the Memphis area, you guys are dealing with

1572
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,640
Speaker 4: the same issue where the Feds are coming in and

1573
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 4: they want to be able to build a nice attention

1574
01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 4: facility in North Mississippi. You guys got a problem with that.

1575
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 4: I mean, they got to go somewhere, right, They got

1576
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 4: to house the illegal somewhere. And we'll take your calls

1577
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 4: on that. Nine oh one two six zero five nine

1578
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 4: two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five

1579
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 4: nine two six. Coming up, we're going to be talking

1580
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:24,280
Speaker 4: to Monti Fritz. He's a Republican state lawmaker in Tennessee

1581
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:27,120
Speaker 4: and he wants to be the next governor of the

1582
01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 4: volunteer state. He is criss crossing the state and he

1583
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:34,679
Speaker 4: is a rock solid Republican. So we'll have a fun

1584
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 4: conversation with mister Fritz coming up in just a few moments. Again,

1585
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 4: our telephone number nine oh one two six zero five

1586
01:33:42,080 --> 01:34:07,760
Speaker 4: nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show. All right,

1587
01:34:07,800 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 4: we're getting some numbers in. Finally from the Super Bowl.

1588
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 4: It turns out that forty eight point six million US

1589
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 4: households tuned in to watch the Super Bowl Super Bowl sixty.

1590
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:23,439
Speaker 4: That was a thirteen percent decrease from last year's game. Dylan,

1591
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 4: are you ready for this? Drum roll?

1592
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:25,439
Speaker 5: Please?

1593
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 4: Okay, we got up. We gotta up our sound effects

1594
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 4: game here, So here we go. Halftime. Only twenty six

1595
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 4: point five million households watched Bad Bunnies halftime show. That's

1596
01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 4: down thirty nine percent from Kendrick LaVar's twenty twenty five show.

1597
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 4: And what's really fascinating here is that most of those

1598
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:55,120
Speaker 4: people went over and watched the Turning Point USA halftime show.

1599
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 6: Wow, yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

1600
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 4: They lost almost half their audio. That's wow. All right,

1601
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 4: Mooey loco. If you ask me, movie loco. All right,

1602
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:10,880
Speaker 4: let's go to the Patriot bubble Neuese Maaker line. Say

1603
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 4: hello to our good friend. He has state Representative Manti

1604
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:17,639
Speaker 4: Fritz from Tennessee running to be the next governor. Many

1605
01:35:17,720 --> 01:35:19,600
Speaker 4: good to have you with us. Did you watch the

1606
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 4: Bad Bunny halftime show Monty?

1607
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 7: No, sir, I don't want to watch that trash. I

1608
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 7: I love football, but to be honest with you, I thought,

1609
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 7: I'm so busy now I have to be reading or

1610
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 7: answering email and post my spare time, so I did not.

1611
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 7: I didn't watch him either game.

1612
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 4: Well, no, it's look, it's understandable, and I understand because

1613
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 4: you're a man on a mission. This is the headline

1614
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 4: from the Tennessee Lookout from back in September of last year.

1615
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:53,840
Speaker 4: East Tennessee Republican runs for governor to topple the Nashville establishment.

1616
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,040
Speaker 4: Did they get it right? Is that what you're doing?

1617
01:35:58,120 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 7: It is? I think that there's a Nashville establishment, bureaucratic

1618
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 7: establishment here that thinks that of politicians and bureacrats that

1619
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 7: think that they get to pick who the next governor is,

1620
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,519
Speaker 7: and that folks like me should not apply and that

1621
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 7: we should just stay home. And let those professional politicians

1622
01:36:17,439 --> 01:36:18,679
Speaker 7: deal with Now.

1623
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:23,520
Speaker 4: It's important for the national audience to know that Nashville,

1624
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 4: in other words, Tennessee national's estate capital Tennessee is controlled

1625
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:32,759
Speaker 4: by a super majority of Republicans. They control everything. Senator

1626
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 4: Marshall Blackburn is running for governor, Congressman John Rose is

1627
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 4: running for governor, and you are as well. Now, there

1628
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:46,160
Speaker 4: was an unofficial, unscientific Facebook pall. There were two of

1629
01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 4: them that came out and people were just asked to

1630
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 4: vote who you going to vote for? I mean, that

1631
01:36:50,920 --> 01:36:53,480
Speaker 4: was pretty much it, and I thought it was interesting.

1632
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:58,639
Speaker 4: KWAM had one on their Facebook page. Marshall Blackburn got

1633
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 4: thirty six percent of the vote, John Rose got four percent,

1634
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 4: and you, sir, got sixty percent of the vote. And

1635
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 4: that poll twenty one hundred people have so far voted

1636
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:12,559
Speaker 4: in that point. What do you make of that number?

1637
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 7: Well, thank god and thank god for those you know

1638
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 7: winning this things will be a miracle. And I think

1639
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:24,839
Speaker 7: that people are tired of career politicians. I'm so flattered

1640
01:37:24,840 --> 01:37:27,760
Speaker 7: and humbled and makes me smile once my heart that

1641
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 7: people would pick my name on there I said this

1642
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 7: morning of talking to somebody based on the message and

1643
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:37,360
Speaker 7: the content and message and our liberty and less government

1644
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:40,080
Speaker 7: campaign compared to what the attitude of putting out it

1645
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 7: should have been ninety fris five for each of the others.

1646
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 7: So I've got some work to do. I've got some

1647
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:48,719
Speaker 7: catching up to do. Nice to work a little bit harder.

1648
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:53,080
Speaker 4: Now there's a fellow who listens to KWAM and he's

1649
01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:58,519
Speaker 4: very active in the VFW there. Justin Johnson is a

1650
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:02,479
Speaker 4: conservative activist, I would say here in the area, and

1651
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:05,759
Speaker 4: he posted a poll as well. Nearly three thousand people

1652
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 4: as twenty nine and ninety nine people have voted in

1653
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:12,799
Speaker 4: his poll. And right now you're leading fifty five percent.

1654
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 4: Marshall Blackbrin thirty seven percent, Joenre's eight percent. What is

1655
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 4: the message that you think? And again this is a

1656
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,040
Speaker 4: Facebook poll, so you can take it for whatever it's worth.

1657
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 4: But what do you think is the message here that's

1658
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:27,520
Speaker 4: resonating with voters.

1659
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 7: I think keeping more money in your pocket. Stop sending

1660
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 7: so many dollars to Nashville and taxes and collections. A

1661
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:38,560
Speaker 7: budget has grown like crazy in the last six years.

1662
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,679
Speaker 7: I just left a committee where a bill to remove

1663
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 7: a double taxation on non plug in hybrid vehicles went

1664
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 7: down because the governor's staff and the Department of Transportation said,

1665
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:52,840
Speaker 7: we need to keep your money. And of course you

1666
01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:55,120
Speaker 7: know this odd They put like an almost ten million

1667
01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 7: dollar physical note on it, and they.

1668
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 9: Look at it.

1669
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 7: If gusocracy looks at it, we need that ten million dollars.

1670
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 7: What they're not seeing is that's ten million dollars of

1671
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 7: tennessee In's money that they're being double tax Not only

1672
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:09,840
Speaker 7: are they paying for that twenty six cents a gallon

1673
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:12,160
Speaker 7: on fuel, but they're also paying one hundred dollars for

1674
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:14,519
Speaker 7: registration fee just because they made a good decision and

1675
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:18,640
Speaker 7: drive a hybrid, talk a non plug in hybrid. We

1676
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 7: certainly ought to. You know, folks who drive electric vehicles

1677
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 7: ought to contribute to the infrastructure, just like those rest

1678
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 7: you buy purchase from drive gasoline and diesel. But I

1679
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 7: think that's indicative there's an out of touchness in Nashville A.

1680
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 7: There's a box seat mentality that you have to be had.

1681
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:39,240
Speaker 7: I've had it said to me that money doesn't have

1682
01:39:39,400 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 7: enough experience.

1683
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:40,400
Speaker 5: Why.

1684
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 7: I spent a long time in nuclear manufacturing, and I

1685
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 7: understand complex operations pretty well. Have a few degrees to

1686
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 7: help with that. But It's almost as if some of

1687
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 7: the Nashville establishment not those two good people that happen

1688
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:59,200
Speaker 7: to be running, both good people, but the national establishment thinks, well,

1689
01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 7: we need to see he's career politician. I think most

1690
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,920
Speaker 7: of America is sick a season career politician. I think

1691
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 7: seasoned career politicians either are opposing what President Trump's trying

1692
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:15,479
Speaker 7: to do when he does something good, or they're using

1693
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:17,800
Speaker 7: his name a lot and really don't support him, and

1694
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 7: I think people are sick of that. I think that

1695
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 7: makes me an attract his candidates because while I will

1696
01:40:23,360 --> 01:40:26,120
Speaker 7: say some things that just shock people and some won't

1697
01:40:26,160 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 7: vote for me because I'm honest, I think there's a

1698
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 7: lot of people that just want to hear someone speak

1699
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 7: and say exactly what they think is the solution, and

1700
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 7: I try to do that.

1701
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,320
Speaker 4: Touch You know, you got elected in twenty twenty two

1702
01:40:39,360 --> 01:40:42,639
Speaker 4: to the House of Representatives. You represent District thirty two

1703
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:47,760
Speaker 4: in Tennessee. Is there any legislation that you've introduced that

1704
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 4: you're proud of. What would you say is your proudest

1705
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,200
Speaker 4: moment there in the State House.

1706
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,959
Speaker 7: Well, I think we've led the nation in several areas

1707
01:40:56,520 --> 01:41:00,400
Speaker 7: with legislation that We've been able to carry and pass

1708
01:41:00,400 --> 01:41:02,960
Speaker 7: and through God's grace, our prayer resolution was a big

1709
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 7: thing for us. First time in the history that the

1710
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 7: state's done the leg slaved body has done that. To

1711
01:41:09,280 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 7: call it the state to prim fasting, seeking God's blessing

1712
01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:17,360
Speaker 7: for those who are physically able and spiritual incline a

1713
01:41:17,479 --> 01:41:20,800
Speaker 7: geo engineering. We led the nation on that illegals. We

1714
01:41:20,880 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 7: led the nation on putting harsh penalties on illegals so

1715
01:41:23,720 --> 01:41:25,439
Speaker 7: that he did not come to Tennessee. If you commit

1716
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:27,680
Speaker 7: a violent crime in Tennessee, you can face life in

1717
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:31,240
Speaker 7: prison and no parole. That was my legislation. We led

1718
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,559
Speaker 7: the nation in trying to send a brigade sized force

1719
01:41:33,560 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 7: of Tennessee and so to help Texas repelvy invasion. We

1720
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 7: see what the illegals are doing to us today, you know,

1721
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:42,800
Speaker 7: you see the reports and what's happening in America. We

1722
01:41:42,920 --> 01:41:45,639
Speaker 7: have to stand hard on this thing. We protected marriage

1723
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:50,240
Speaker 7: in Tennessee after Obergafil federal government didn't do anything. So

1724
01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 7: in Tennessee, you can't be a man, cannot be required

1725
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 7: to solemnize the marriage, you can't be performed with perform

1726
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 7: a marriage. We set up an energy policy my first

1727
01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:01,360
Speaker 7: year in and the same second year we restructured the

1728
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 7: State Energy Policy Council because I want to get to

1729
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:08,040
Speaker 7: a more open kill a WAT economy so that we're

1730
01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 7: not behind the and we are behind the curves right

1731
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 7: now generating kill a WATT. I understand TV is about

1732
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 7: to make some good decisions that are coming, but we've

1733
01:42:16,920 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 7: been making some really bad decisions, and Tennessee needs to

1734
01:42:19,920 --> 01:42:22,960
Speaker 7: be engaged and not relegate our decisions about that most

1735
01:42:23,040 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 7: vital commodity, which right now is to kill what I

1736
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 7: think in the infrastructure to support it. We've been relegating

1737
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 7: that decision to beercrats in DC and it's not worth

1738
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 7: that well for us. Frankfully, we're hated the different right.

1739
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 4: So, MANI I know that Senator Blackburn has said that

1740
01:42:38,800 --> 01:42:42,560
Speaker 4: Tennessee and she wants to ensure that Tennessee is America's

1741
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 4: conservative leader. What would you say again, I mean name recognition.

1742
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 4: I think everybody in the state knows Marshall Blackburn. I

1743
01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 4: don't think anybody knows John Rose. To be perfectly honest

1744
01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 4: about it, he's a very nice person. All of you

1745
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 4: guys are very nice individuals, and for the sake of

1746
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:03,439
Speaker 4: full disclosure. I have already endorsed Marshall Blackburn, but I

1747
01:43:03,479 --> 01:43:05,800
Speaker 4: want to give all of the candidates a voice and

1748
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,920
Speaker 4: a fair platform. What is it, Why is it that

1749
01:43:08,960 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 4: people are going to be better off with you in

1750
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 4: the governor's mansion as opposed to John Rose or Marshall Blackburn.

1751
01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 7: Well, it is a liberty and less government thing. I

1752
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 7: have a voting record that indicates if you look at

1753
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 7: the Freedom Index dot org assessment of my constitutionality of voting,

1754
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 7: I was one hundred percent last year. Both of them

1755
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 7: were in the sixties. I have a lifetime average of

1756
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:32,560
Speaker 7: ninety four. They have lifetime averages in the sixties or seventies.

1757
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 7: I have advocated for smaller budgets in Tennessee, and they

1758
01:43:36,200 --> 01:43:39,320
Speaker 7: both have been part of sending I think Congressman Roe

1759
01:43:39,439 --> 01:43:43,559
Speaker 7: said I voted to send five billion dollars to refugee welfare.

1760
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:47,840
Speaker 7: I just can't get that everywhere I talk to people

1761
01:43:48,320 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 7: that we don't want any more foreign refugees in America.

1762
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:55,160
Speaker 7: We're at the supersaturation point. We're at the point where

1763
01:43:55,160 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 7: we need to be not only deporting the illegals, but

1764
01:43:58,160 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 7: stopping the H one B VSUS and maybe even pausing

1765
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 7: legal immigration for a while until we get our culture back.

1766
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,920
Speaker 7: I'm a gun rights person. I stood up for that.

1767
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 7: We've introduced legislation that makes Tennessee, equaling the gun owners

1768
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:17,000
Speaker 7: from America, the best state in the nation to manufacture

1769
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 7: and sale firms and ammunition. And while the others might

1770
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:24,120
Speaker 7: save their Second Amendment supporters, I hadn't seen any legislation

1771
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:27,240
Speaker 7: to support it. It's kind of this good And I

1772
01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 7: offer this with some pun You show me yours, I'll

1773
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 7: show you mine. When it comes to the legislation, we

1774
01:44:35,320 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 7: have walked it like we've talked it in the House

1775
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 7: district Sody two led the state and many regards led

1776
01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,280
Speaker 7: the United States and many regards, and the legislation was offered,

1777
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:46,600
Speaker 7: and I just haven't seen that. I've seen lots of

1778
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 7: lip service from career politicians, but I haven't seen and

1779
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:51,160
Speaker 7: put their money where their mouth is and stand up

1803
01:46:08,320 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 4: our Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, all right, our telephone number

1804
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1805
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,679
Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

1806
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,040
Speaker 4: Now you say, Todd, why are we talking about Florida,

1807
01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:25,519
Speaker 4: Why are we talking about Tennessee? Because those are very

1808
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:29,520
Speaker 4: important states and we've got to make sure that Republicans

1809
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:33,240
Speaker 4: are making the right decisions when it comes to their

1810
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:36,000
Speaker 4: vote on election day. And I say that because of

1811
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 4: a situation in that's happening really right outside of Charlotte,

1812
01:46:40,320 --> 01:46:42,880
Speaker 4: where you have a woman, her name is Kate Barr.

1813
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:47,400
Speaker 4: She's a lifelong Democrat, and she is running as a Republican.

1814
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:53,720
Speaker 4: She's intentionally trying to subvert the vote in North Carolina.

1815
01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 4: I want you to take a listen to this cut eleven.

1816
01:46:56,120 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 14: I'm not a real Republican, Like I am telling people

1817
01:46:58,560 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 14: the truth. I knock on a door and I say,

1818
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,559
Speaker 14: I'm running in the Republican primary, but I'm not a Republican.

1819
01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:05,840
Speaker 14: I'm a progressive. I'm running as a Republican in the

1820
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:09,760
Speaker 14: Republican primary for Congressional District fourteen because that is where

1821
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:13,719
Speaker 14: the actual competition happens. In our jerrymandard district. It happens

1822
01:47:13,840 --> 01:47:16,240
Speaker 14: in the primaries. Like if you're in a district that

1823
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 14: is a lock for Democrats. That Democratic primary is where

1824
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:23,160
Speaker 14: the competition is. And quite frankly, while the can't win

1825
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:26,120
Speaker 14: strategy is about building for the long term and like

1826
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,680
Speaker 14: building our bench and being ready for fair maps in

1827
01:47:28,720 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 14: twenty thirty, we got to win right now because we

1828
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,880
Speaker 14: are in an emergency, like a democratic emergency. And so

1829
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:39,680
Speaker 14: the place I can win is as a fake Republican.

1830
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 4: And she's going to do it. She is going to

1831
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 4: challenge Congressman Tim Moore for his seat in the suburbs

1832
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,720
Speaker 4: of Charlotte. This is a solid Republican district according to

1833
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:55,599
Speaker 4: Cook Political Report, but she is waging a very serious

1834
01:47:55,720 --> 01:47:59,960
Speaker 4: bid and she wants candidates another jerrymandard states to adopt

1835
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:05,200
Speaker 4: her strategy. And here's the challenge she I mean, she

1836
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 4: could have a fighting chance because Republicans, as they have

1837
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 4: demonstrated over the past year, are not getting out and

1838
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 4: they're not voting. And when that happens, very bad things happen.

1839
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,800
Speaker 4: You folks in Texas, in the in the what the

1840
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 4: ninth Senate district, you know all about that. Now you've

1841
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 4: got a Democrat there all. You folks in Virginia, you

1842
01:48:25,200 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 4: know all about that. Your Republicans have been pretty much

1843
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 4: wiped out, same thing in New Jersey. So we've had

1844
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:35,479
Speaker 4: races in Georgia where the Democrats won. So all that

1845
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,680
Speaker 4: to say, you've got to pay attention. You've got to

1846
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 4: make sure you understand who the candidates are and just

1847
01:48:41,560 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 4: because there is an R behind their name does not

1848
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:48,720
Speaker 4: necessarily mean they are in fact a Republican. There'll be

1849
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 4: a fake Republican. Got to take a break, will be

1850
01:48:51,040 --> 01:49:05,080
Speaker 4: right back, all right, don't forget tonight five o'clock Eastern.

1851

Speaker 4: We're gonna have a jam packed show on Newsmax. Jim

1854
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 4: clever We got to come up with a clever name

1855
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:20,360
Speaker 4: for that panel. Mary Walter is a good going to

1856

1858
01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:29,160
Speaker 4: about this is crazy, Dylan. But apparently now there are

1859
01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 4: zoos that will allow you to name animal dung.

1860
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 6: After your ax for Valentine's Day.

1861
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 4: For Valentine's Day, doing this, it's like right right around

1862
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,559
Speaker 4: the corner. This is going to be a lot of fun.

1863
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 4: So also you can name roaches, rats, and cat poop.

1864
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 4: This is at the Bronx Zoo in New York City.

1865
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,800
Speaker 6: My only question is can I choose which animal the

1866
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 6: poop is named after? Like, can I choose the elephant?

1867
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:03,840
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good question, the hippopotamus. And it's also

1868
01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:07,479
Speaker 4: meant for ghosters. Okay, yes, which is sort of like

1869
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:09,200
Speaker 4: a new theme right.

1870
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:10,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you reach out to someone and they

1871
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 6: don't ever text you back or call you back. It's

1872
01:50:13,200 --> 01:50:13,719
Speaker 6: been around.

1873
01:50:13,880 --> 01:50:16,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this is the Bronx Zoo. You can name

1874
01:50:16,880 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 4: a Madagascar hissing cockroach after a lover or a loather

1875
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:26,120
Speaker 4: or if you've suffered emotional trauma. But it's not free.

1876
01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,680
Speaker 4: It's gonna set you back fifteen bucks. That's not too bad, No,

1877
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:32,120
Speaker 4: but you can buy Chick fil a sandwich with fifteen bucks.

1878
01:50:32,200 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 6: You can also buy a Madagascar.

1879
01:50:33,520 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 4: Cochrate or that too. The Classic package, I love there's

1880
01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 4: a Classic package comes with a digital certificate proving your

1881
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:45,760
Speaker 4: chosen name will live on in roach immortality, because you know,

1882
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,280
Speaker 4: the roaches are the only things that are going to

1883
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:52,760
Speaker 4: outlast us, especially if there's like you know, nuclear war,

1884
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 4: God forbid.

1885
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:53,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1886
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 4: The cockroaches will be with us.

1887
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 6: They'll be with us, and they'll be like ten times

1888
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,639
Speaker 6: bigger than all everything. They'll grow.

1889
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:05,240
Speaker 4: A coffee shop near a high school in Los Angeles

1890
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 4: is in hot water. Turns out they thought it was

1891
01:51:09,160 --> 01:51:11,360
Speaker 4: a coffee shop, but Dylan, it turned out that the

1892
01:51:11,479 --> 01:51:14,799
Speaker 4: DD Cafe was actually a strip club.

1893
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:19,719
Speaker 6: Wow, that would be surprising at six am in the morning.

1894
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:21,799
Speaker 6: Fox in your Coffee.

1895
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 4: Fox eleven did an undercover investigation, and they found that

1896
01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 4: the women wore very little clothing, gave lap dances, and

1897
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:33,080
Speaker 4: allowed customers to bring in booze for an additional charge.

1898
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 4: That does not sound like Starbucks.

1899
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:38,400
Speaker 6: Is this counterproductive? How are you during the daytime? I mean,

1900
01:51:38,400 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 6: that's typically not when you want to go to a

1901
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:40,679
Speaker 6: strip club.

1902
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:42,840
Speaker 4: Right, Well, it depends on what kind of a day

1903
01:51:42,880 --> 01:51:43,439
Speaker 4: you've been having.

1904
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:45,479
Speaker 6: I guess, so maybe I have the blackout curtains.

1905
01:51:45,479 --> 01:51:49,479
Speaker 4: If you work simulate night, if you work the overnight shift, you.

1906
01:51:49,400 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 6: Know that's very specific customers and.

1907
01:51:52,200 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 4: You don't want to watch the price is right? Seventeen

1908
01:51:55,840 --> 01:52:00,680
Speaker 4: people arrested. Oh it's a busy coffee shop anyway. I

1909
01:52:00,680 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 4: guess the police knew something was up when people their

1910
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,439
Speaker 4: lantes were being frothed, and I don't think it was

1911
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 4: the coffee. All right, we've got to leave it there,

1912
01:52:10,240 --> 01:52:17,080
Speaker 4: everybody that's weird. We'll be back tomorrow twelve noon, noon o'clock.

1913
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,839
Speaker 4: We will see you on the radio. Tonight five o'clock.

1914
01:52:19,880 --> 01:52:22,680
Speaker 4: We will see you on Newsmax to get out there.

1915
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 4: Have a great one, everybody. This is the Todd Start Show.
