19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,919
Speaker 6: be our starting point today. I'm not a big NBA fan, Dylan,

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 6: Are you a big NBA guy?

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: You know?

22
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 6: I'm college I'm college sports love it.

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. No, I'm the same as you. I just but

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 7: after that, not.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 6: Really, you know, we have the Memphis Grizzlies here and

26
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 6: the teams. It's on hard times, very hard times, and

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 6: you know it's I mean, I don't know, I just

28
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 6: have not gotten into the whole NBA scene.

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm right there with you.

30
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 6: So I head did a little bit of homework on

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 6: this guy, Jade and Ivy, and back in twenty twenty

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 6: four Sports Spectrum which is a it's a magazine. They

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 6: cover Christian athletes, they cover a lot of Christianity and sports.

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 6: You know, good, it's a great magazine. And they they

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 6: did a big feature story on him and we've got

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 6: a photo up on our website. By the way, the

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 6: moment that Jade and Ivy was baptized, he rededicated his

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 6: life to Christ and he became a really passionate follower

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 6: of Jesus. And here on this program, we never shy

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 6: away from that. We never shy away from our faith.

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 6: You know, when people tune in New to three, you're

42
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 6: not expecting some sort of a Sunday sermon or if

43
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 6: you go to an Episcopal church, a homily. But we

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 6: but you know, whenever it's appropriate, we talk about faith.

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 6: And if there's a story that has a faith component,

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: we talk about it. So this story immediately caught my

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 6: attention about Jade and Ivy and the NBA. So this

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 6: guy passionate follower of Christ, and he uses his platforms

49
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 6: to talk about his faith, and that got him in

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 6: trouble with the NBA. So I understand he played for

51
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 6: originally I believe, the Detroit Pistons, and then he was

52
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 6: traded or joined the Chicago Bulls. Well, he's been dismissed

53
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 6: from the team, and the the Chicago Bulls putting out

54
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 6: a statement yesterday saying that you know what, I just

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 6: figured out, Dylan, pardon me, pardon me, ladies and gentlemen.

56
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 6: I just figured out I've been sending you emails from

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: a bad email account of mine that always and that's

58
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 6: why I'm so anyway, I just figured that out.

59
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 7: While email sucks, it's okay.

60
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 6: The more you know, I suppose there you go. So

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 6: it's that Apple email, you know, the one that goes

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 6: to the cloud thing. How I even have that? Which

63
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 6: is so anyway, So we'll find the audio. We're gonna

64
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 6: get you. We're gonna get you the audio. And Dylan,

65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 6: if you can find the audio of him going after

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 6: Pride month, so the NBA forces people to celebrate Pride Month. Now, look,

67
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 6: I just want to I want to step back for

68
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 6: a moment and just talk as a as a business owner.

69
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 6: I happen to own a business. We have employees, and

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 6: if my employees want to celebrate something, they are free

71
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 6: to do that. That is their right. But as a company,

72
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 6: we don't celebrate those kinds of things. We just don't.

73
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 6: That's not what we do. But I'm never going to

74
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 6: force you know, for example, if let's see here, if

75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 6: well Ian so Ian, I don't know what, Let's just

76
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 6: say that Ian is do we know what nationality? Ian is?

77
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: Here?

78
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 6: I've got to make sure I offend him the right way.

79
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 6: Can we find out Dylan is he Scottish? Is he Irish?

80
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 6: He's Albanian? Yes, Corners our friend, Oh you know who

81
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 6: I'm He's Albanian? Okay, So let's just say that Ian

82
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 6: hates the Irish and we force Ian to dress up

83
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 6: like a leprechaun on Saint Patrick's Day and march in

84
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 6: the Saint Patrick's Day parade town Beale Street. You know

85
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: that would not be appropriate?

86
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 7: Right?

87
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 6: That would? We could say Ian, you're gonna do this?

88
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 6: You Albedian and you're gonna talk like an irishman top

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 6: of the day or morning whatever. So no, of course

90
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 6: that would be so inappropriate for me to do as

91
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 6: the owner of a company. It would be funny, but

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 6: it would be inappropriate. So that being said, what gives

93
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: the NBA the right to tell any of their players

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 6: or coaches, or cheerleaders or anybody on their staff that

95
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 6: they must bound down and worship the LGBT agenda. Why

96
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 6: is it that these NBA players are being forced to

97
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 6: go out there and pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag. Now,

98
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 6: this guy he got dismissed not because of anything he

99
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 6: did on the basketball court. And it just seems to

100
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 6: me that's what you ought to be judging a professional

101
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 6: basketball player by whether or not they can get the basket,

102
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: get the ball in the basket, or they can prevent

103
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 6: the other team from getting the ball in the basket.

104
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 6: That seems to me to be the most important part

105
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 6: of basketball where you put the ball. Oh wait a second,

106
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 6: that came out wrong, But it's important in basketball where

107
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 6: what you do on the court. So this guy, Jaden Ivy,

108
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: who's a Christian, decided that he was going to talk

109
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 6: about this and say you know what. I think it's

110
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 6: really inappropriate that we have to do this. All right,

111
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 6: let's take a listen.

112
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 7: The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right, they have.

113
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 8: They have.

114
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: They proclaim Pride months and the NBA they proclaim it.

115
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 2: They show it to the world, they say, come, come,

116
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: come join us for for a Pride month, to celebrate unrighteousness.

117
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards, they

118
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: proclaim it in the streets, unrighteousness. So how is it

119
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: that that one can't speak righteousness? How is it one

120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: that how? How how are they to say that, Uh,

121
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: you man, this man is crazy.

122
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 8: I'm not.

123
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm not the the J I used to be, But

124
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: the old J is that a lot of Christ? You know,

125
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: no matter what the basketball setting is, you know, I'm

126
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: born again the Holy Spirit, and I've been saved by

127
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. No matter what how many d MPs I

128
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: don't I don't get to play, or no matter how

129
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: many points I score, those things are a temporary thing.

130
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 6: So I wanted you to hear that last part because

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 6: they're using that last part now, These sports writers are

132
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 6: using that last part to suggest that this guy is

133
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 6: dealing with he's emotionally troubled and he's mentally unstable, and

134
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: they're coming after him with guns ablazing, and it is ugly.

135
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 6: But you heard, you heard what he said. What he

136
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 6: just said, that first part of it is why he

137
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 6: was dismissed from the Chicago Bulls. And the Chicago Bulls

138
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 6: is saying, you know what, honestly, we don't want any

139
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 6: of you Christian people. We don't want you playing on

140
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 6: our team, and we don't want you to be a

141
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 6: part of our organization. And you know what, fined if

142
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 6: they want to play that game. But let me just

143
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 6: explain to you this is what actual persecution looks like

144
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 6: in America. They are targeting this ballplay player because of

145
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 6: his religious beliefs, which, by the way, is unconstitutional. And

146
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 6: I have to imagine that Harmeat Dillon and the Justice

147
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 6: Department are going to be taking a long, hard look

148
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 6: at this case. So anyway, Billy Donovan, it's he the

149
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 6: head coach of the ball he's the head coach of

150
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 6: the Bulls. So he is out there and he was

151
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 6: asked to explain all of this yesterday, and here's his explanation.

152
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 9: I would just say this, you know, at least since

153
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 9: I Vin with the Bulls.

154
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 10: You know, it's you've got people, mean from all different backgrounds, right,

155
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 10: you know, inside the organization. So I think the first

156
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 10: thing is how well well And this goes for players,

157
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 10: I think coaches, everything that building. It's always been a

158
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 10: thing that the who's been from the top, like we're

159
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 10: all going to work well together.

160
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 9: You know, we're all going to basically take care of

161
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 9: each other and then accept each other. And I think

162
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 9: we're going to be aren't working.

163
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 10: We're going to be accountable, and we're going to be respectful,

164
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 10: and we're going to be professional.

165
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: You know.

166
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 9: I think that's kind of what it's been.

167
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 10: I know some of the things that we've put out there.

168
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 10: You know, I think it's a situation for him where

169
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 10: you know, it's on his own personal Instagram. I don't

170
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 10: want to get into what he put out there, but

171
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 10: certainly I hope for him, you know, he's okay. I

172
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 10: don't know, you know, like I've had conversations with Jade

173
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 10: and stuff, and he's aways about we have these needs

174
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 10: trying to bring an important want to play.

175
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 9: But I think organization made to certain standards.

176
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 10: I think we want to have as an organization, they're

177
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 10: trying to move up close each and every day.

178
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 6: So there you have the coach and it's it's very

179
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 6: clear that they are trying to destroy this guy now

180
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 6: and there are there are some really terrible, horrible things

181
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 6: that are that are being said about this guy and

182
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 6: talking about, you know, all the problems he has had,

183
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 6: you know, in his life. I guess he grew up

184
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 6: in a really difficult home environment. And look, here's the deal.

185
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 6: The reality is all of us are sinners saved by grace.

186
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 6: And this young man, he's twenty four years old. This

187
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 6: young man he accepted Christ and he turned from his

188
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 6: wicked ways, as we all have. Anybody who is a

189
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 6: follower of Christ, anybody who has had that experience, that

190
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 6: life changing experience. You know, in the eyes of God,

191
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 6: sin is sin. And now these players are going out

192
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 6: there and they're dredging up all these things and just

193
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 6: saying really awful things about this guy, when in fact,

194
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 6: what we ought to be doing is celebrating this young man.

195
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 6: Now here's the deal. A lot of Christians are saying

196
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 6: he should have just kept quiet so he could have

197
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 6: kept his job. And honestly, I believe that was that

198
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 6: was the problem, and that is the problem with America

199
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 6: is that far too many Christians are silent. Far too

200
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 6: many Christians are afraid to confront this great evil in

201
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 6: our society. By the way, Jada and Ivy came out,

202
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 6: this is great. He came out with another statement and

203
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 6: here's what he I just want to read this to you.

204
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 6: He said, the NBA was everything to me. I didn't

205
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 6: know God when I came to the NBA. I was

206
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 6: a fornicator. I was a porn addict, and I used

207
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 6: to get drunk. That's all I knew. After all those points,

208
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 6: I felt good. I felt like everything was set out

209
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 6: for me. And then he found Christ. But now you've

210
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 6: got all these And by the way, what happens when

211
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 6: you find Christ. You become a new creation when you

212
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 6: when you died to yourself. And that was a phrase

213
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 6: that I think Pete Hegseth got in trouble for a

214
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 6: couple of days ago. When you die to yourself, you

215
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 6: have to do that so that Christ lives through you.

216
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 6: And now they're saying, this guy is mentally unhinged and

217
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 6: mentally unstable. So now, if you, according to the NBA,

218
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 6: if you follow the teachings of Jesus, Christ. That makes

219
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 6: you somehow a bad person. But again, what does any

220
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 6: of this have to do with basketball? And the greater

221
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 6: concern here is now we interstated, you go all the

222
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: way back to barn Hussein Obama. Remember when the Supreme

223
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 6: Court redefined what God defined that would be marriage? Do

224
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 6: you remember that? And Barack Hussaint Obama stood out there

225
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 6: and said, this is not going to impact any of

226
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 6: you in America. This is all about. This is all

227
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 6: about gay people being allowed to marry each other. That's it.

228
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 6: They just want to be left alone, They want to

229
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 6: live their lives. Well, now we know that is not true.

230
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 6: Now we know that society at large is being forced

231
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 6: to bow down and worship this agenda. As a matter

232
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 6: of fact, Canada is working through legislation right now that

233
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 6: would literally outlaw passages of the Holy Bible. Over in

234
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 6: the United Kingdom, Christians are being arrested and thrown in

235
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 6: jail for preaching from scripture about Islam and homosexuality. They're

236
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 6: being thrown in jail. Is that what you want here,

237
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 6: because ultimately that is what's going to happen here. Yesterday

238
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 6: we had George Barna on our NEWSMAC show and Barnes said,

239
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 6: an overwhelming majority of churches in America are not teaching

240
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 6: from the scripture. They're not they're not discipling their church members.

241
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 6: So you've got a bunch of ignorant church people running

242
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 6: around and as a result in that, you've got chaos

243
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 6: in the culture. But again, ladies and gentlemen, what does

244
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 6: any of this have to do with play in professional basketball?

245
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 6: What in all seriousness? So, now in the NBA, as

246
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 6: a result of all of this, we now know. We

247
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 6: now know that if you want to play in the NBA,

248
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 6: you've got to pledge your allegiance to be an ally

249
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 6: to the LGBT community. Do you believe that is fair?

250
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: Ladies and gentlemen, all right, we've got to take a break.

251
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 6: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

252
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 6: That's nine oh one two six zero five, nine two six.

253
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 6: You do understand, at the end of the day, they're

254
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 6: coming after the Christians. That's that's what this is really

255
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 6: all about. They're coming after you and they will try

256
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,040

275
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 6: believe that people of faith should be more vocal? Should

276
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 6: people of faith be more active in the public marketplace?

277
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Ton Sterns Radio show nine oh

278
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 6: one two six zero five nine two six. That's nine

279
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 6: oh one two six zero five nine two six. I

280
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 6: want to play some audio for you. You're not going

281
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 6: to be able to understand this guy unless you speak Spanish.

282
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 6: But this guy lives in Queens, New York, and he

283
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 6: wanted everybody to hear what it sounds like because the

284
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 6: Muslims are now allowed to broadcast their prayers five times

285
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 6: a day from sunrise, like in the wee hours of

286
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 6: the morning to sunset. And then, ladies and gentlemen, I

287
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 6: want you to think about this. All of the mosques

288
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 6: that are being built all over America, this very well

289
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: would be your neighborhood.

290
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 11: Take a listen, Yanna, Okay, stop stops.

291
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 6: Could you imagine, Dylan, You're just like hanging out and

292
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, that's what you hear outside of

293
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 6: your home.

294
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 7: As a music guy, I would just say it's a

295
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 7: little pitchy, but it would not be a pleasant.

296
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 6: That is insane. So that's happening all over New York City.

297
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 6: That was in Queens. I was talking to somebody in

298
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 6: my old neighborhood back in the frank and Christina my

299
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 6: neighbors back in the old hood, and they're like, Todd,

300
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 6: we can hear that, we can hear the call to prayer.

301
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 6: It's crazy. Of course they were their old school Italians,

302
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 6: so they said a few other things I'm not allowed

303
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 6: to repeat on the radio. But ladies and gentlemen, you

304
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: better get ready because that is coming to your neighborhood.

305
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 6: Let's go to the phone lines. Ohio, German shepherd, hind

306
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 6: German shepherd. What's on your mind?

307
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 12: Hey, mister Todder's speaking my language.

308
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 13: Man.

309
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 12: You know, I go down to the DMV on my

310
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 12: way out of town in Jacksonville to share the gospel

311
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 12: with everybody waiting in line to go into the DMV,

312
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 12: and you know, on average there's about ten, fifteen, twenty

313
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 12: people standing there just waiting for the DMV to open.

314
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 12: And you know, it's also notable that the when Jesus

315
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 12: cleansed the temple, he did that the gentile courtyard, which

316
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 12: is where the Jews were supposed to be evangelizing the

317
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 12: non Jews, and they turned it into a bizarre So

318
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 12: in the church today is the same issue where they're

319
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 12: just secluded. It's turned most of them turned into rest homes.

320
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 14: Instead of.

321
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 12: Embassies to get the march in orders to.

322
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 6: Share our Yeah, the purpose, that's it, German Shepherd, It's

323
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 6: it's all about sharing the faith. That's what it's about.

324
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 15: Oh.

325
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 6: By the way, one of the big gay news publications,

326
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 6: NBA's running a full page ad now they're looking for

327
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 6: good ball handlers. We'll see how that goes. Good luck

328
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 6: to you. We'll be right back. All right, Welcome back, everybody.

329
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 6: This is the Todd Stearns Radio Show. You know what's interesting,

330
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 6: There was a big story that developed over the weekend.

331
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 6: President Trump, as he often does on social media, he'll

332
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 6: post a message, but it wasn't his message that Jenner

333
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 6: the conversation. It was a It was a letter that

334
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 6: the President had received from Franklin Graham, and it was

335
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 6: a private letter. And President Trump posted this letter on

336
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 6: his social media page in advance of Palm Sunday. And

337
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: for me, folks, those of us who have been able

338
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: to be in the Oval Office, we've been able to

339
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 6: talk with the President and have private conversations with the President.

340
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 6: Those conversations are always meant to be private. And one

341
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 6: of the things I greatly respected about Franklin Graham is

342
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 6: that he never told anybody about this letter. It was

343
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 6: a letter between him and the president, and I think

344
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 6: that really says a lot about Franklin Graham, who he is,

345
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 6: what his life is all about, which is sharing the

346
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 6: gospel message. Well, Franklin joins us today on the Patriot

347
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 6: Mobile newsmaker line, Franklin, good to have you with us.

348
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 6: I know you're a busy man. Thanks for taking a

349
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 6: few moments with us today.

350
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 8: Well, thank you for having me. I could be with

351
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 8: you so this.

352
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 6: I had a chance to read the letter and it

353
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 6: was just really moving. And I'm wondering if you want

354
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 6: to take us back to that moment when you said,

355
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 6: you know what, I need to sit down and write

356
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 6: the president a message.

357
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 8: Well, again, you know, I don't. I don't do release

358
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 8: letters that I write to the president or and I

359
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 8: don't talk about kind of conversations I have anything. But

360
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 8: since he's released it, I think I'm free to do that.

361
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 8: He made a statement back in this letter that I

362
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 8: posted I gave him back in October. He made a

363
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 8: statement to the media sometimes the week or so of

364
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 8: before that say that he wasn't sure that he was

365
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 8: going to go to heaven and H H. I'll want

366
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 8: to make sure that he understands because I know I'll

367
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 8: talk to him before about issues like this, and so

368
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 8: I just thought I just put it in writing and

369
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 8: just tell him that we don't get to have him

370
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 8: by our own uh, it's by the blood of Jesus Christ.

371
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 8: And so I just presented the gospel and the letter

372
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 8: to him and and uh, and just told him that

373
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 8: with you student, that if he's willing to, if anyone's

374
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 8: going to be a pair of their sins and by

375
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 8: faith believe in Jesus Christ and accept him as their

376
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 8: Lord and Savior, that we'll be forgiven of our sins.

377
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 8: So I just put that in the letter to him,

378
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 8: and and never heard back. And you know, I didn't

379
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 8: get a response saying thank you for the letter. I

380
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 8: just said it to him, and I don't expect a response.

381
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 8: He's busy, uh, Like I was just a surprise that

382
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 8: he released that on Palm Sunday before Palm Sunday. So

383
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 8: and I'm glad he did because I gets the gospel

384
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 8: out there millions of people.

385
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 6: Well, I think it does. And it also as I

386
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 6: was reading the letter, and I thought to myself, you know,

387
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: when was the last time, you know, I actually shared

388
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,239
Speaker 6: the Gospel with someone. I mean there, you know, are

389
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 6: there people? And I think a lot of people are wondering,

390
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 6: you know, maybe I need to be out there sharing

391
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 6: the gospel message with with with our friends, you know,

392
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 6: with with with their acquaintances, their family members.

393
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 8: Well, and you know it doesn't you don't have to

394
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 8: have a long letter. And this is just a couple

395
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: of paragraphs, but is the fact that Jesus Christ is

396
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 8: God's son. He came to save us from our sins.

397
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 8: He shed his own blood on a cross, he was

398
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 8: buried for our sins, and on the third day God

399
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 8: raised your life. That's the gospel God. And then you

400
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 8: can ask the question what to a person, have you

401
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 8: ever accepted Christ? Have you ever confessed your sins and repented?

402
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 8: And have you trusted Jesus R. Savid? He hadn't done that?

403
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 8: Would you like to do that right now? That takes

404
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 8: thirty seconds?

405
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 7: Hmm.

406
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 6: It's it really is It really is that simple, and

407
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 6: it's it's it's a life changing decision that people can make.

408
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 6: I wrote a book last year called Starspango Blessings, And

409
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 6: in this book, it's a devotional series and there's There's

410
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 6: a story about Ronald Reagan who sat down in the

411
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 6: Oval Office one day. His father in law did not

412
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: know christ and he actually sat down and wrote this

413
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 6: beautiful letter to his father in law in the Oval

414
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 6: Office and the throes of the Cold War and all

415
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: that stuff that was going on, and yet for that

416
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 6: moment in time, the most important person was the soul

417
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 6: of his father in law. And just, uh, again, that's

418
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 6: the you know, there's something about that that's really stirring.

419
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 8: Well, we all have family, oh and uh, we all

420
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 8: have family that are not saying they won't be in heaven.

421
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 8: And I think how important it is to make sure

422
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 8: that our loved ones know and understand and have given

423
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 8: an opportunity to accept Christ.

424
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 6: Franklin, There's there's a lot of chaos in the world.

425
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: There are Christians under attack all over the place. Of course,

426
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 6: one of the big stories that came out yesterday from

427
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 6: the NBA where the Chicago Bulls dismissed a player. His

428
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 6: name is Jaden Ivy. This young man was baptized several

429
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 6: years ago. He's an outspoken Christian, and he was critical

430
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 6: of the NBA's decision to force players to celebrate these

431
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 6: gay Pride events, and yesterday he was dismissed from the

432
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 6: team and the team said that that those kinds of

433
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 6: comments are detrimental conduct to the team. What what do

434
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 6: you say about that?

435
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I want to say how much

436
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 8: I appreciate Jade boldness and his clarity and not being

437
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 8: ashamed of the gospel. So I've had uh tips for

438
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 8: him and just just admire him so very much for

439
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 8: taking this stand. And uh if in the Chicago Bulls,

440
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 8: they are a shame on them and all these major

441
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 8: league Uh it's not just basketball, but uh we see

442
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 8: this in football and and uh and other sports. And

443
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 8: I would just hope that the players would rebel against

444
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 8: it and just say we're not going to play. We're

445
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 8: just going to go and strike and tell you all

446
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 8: the move the lgb Q. You know, it's basketball is

447
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 8: about basketball. It's not about uh simple sex between two

448
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 8: men or two women. That's that's not what there should

449
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 8: be about. It should be about basketball or football. And

450
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 8: I just would have hoped that the players, because I

451
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 8: know many of the players, they don't believe this, they

452
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 8: don't support that, but they're told that, they're told to.

453
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 8: And because the money involved they compromise and I could

454
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 8: just uh encourage players, and then they're coaches too that

455
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 8: don't go along with this. And and just rallied behind Jayden.

456
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 8: He just said, you know this is He's right, and

457
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 8: we're up. I'm going We're not gonna do this anymore.

458
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 6: I got to tell you, I I was so admired

459
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 6: his courage for standing up, because you're right, he could

460
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 6: have you know, he could have just you know, just

461
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 6: quietly gone on, but he didn't do that. He took

462
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 6: a stand. And and sometimes you know, when you take

463
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 6: a stand, and you know, you never know how things

464
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 6: are going to work out. And I know he may

465
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 6: have lost his spot there at the Chicago Bulls, but

466
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 6: I have to imagine that God has something much bigger

467
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 6: in store for this guy.

468
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 8: No question, God U God's not gonna let this guy

469
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 8: just slide off into the and through the weeds here.

470
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 8: He's got a bigger, a bigger plan for him. So

471
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 8: but anyway, I just thank God for Jaden and the courage,

472
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 8: and I hope others will following.

473
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 6: Before we let you go, I saw your tweet about

474
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 6: Chick fil A, and I know you're a McDonald's guy.

475
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 6: So when Franklin Graham is tweeting about somebody other a

476
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 6: fast food restaurant other than McDonald's. I pay attention and

477
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 6: I just love this story, this Chick fil A franchise,

478
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 6: and now we understand several hundred other Chick fil A

479
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 6: outposts are inviting families to put aside the cell phones

480
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 6: and share a meal together and if you do that,

481
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 6: you get a free ice cream. What a great idea.

482
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 8: It's good. It's an incredible idea, and first of all,

483
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 8: from marketing for Chick fil A, it didn't cost them

484
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 8: anything and their whole country's talking about it. And so

485
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 8: that one franchise up in Maryland, I believe it's where

486
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 8: they're out of the other Chick fil A needs to do.

487
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 8: Corporate needs to do something special for them, because this

488
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 8: is an incredible idea, and I believe it's going to

489
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 8: catch on, and not just Chick fil A, but I

490
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 8: think there'll be other restaurants so there's nothing similar. It's

491
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 8: a great, great idea, and it's so needed when you

492
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 8: think about when we sit down the table, somebody want

493
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 8: or to or usually on a cell phone, and then

494
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 8: the shoot includes the watch too, because now you can

495
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 8: get messages on your watch and you sit there and

496
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 8: play with your watch while you're eating. So this is

497
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 8: a great idea Chick fil A. You know, God bless him.

498
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 8: I think this is wonderful. And try to encourage people

499
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 8: to take your family this weekend a Chick fil A

500
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 8: and put your cell phones down. And if they're not participating,

501
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 8: this as the management of that Chick fil A. If

502
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 8: they would participate, it's.

503
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 6: A great idea. Before we let you go, Franklin, there

504
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 6: are a lot of people that are just struggling at

505
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 6: these times, you know, this time of year Eastern looking

506
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 6: for answers, and I think it's important to take a

507
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 6: minute and just explain that the answers to all of

508
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 6: our problems is not in Washington, it's not in Hollywood,

509
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 6: but it really is about a relationship with Jesus and.

510
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 8: It is thought. And of course, when Jesus faced a

511
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 8: pilot before he was sinnence and inclusified, pilot asked what

512
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 8: is truth? Well, Jesus said, I am the way the

513
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 8: truth in the life. No man comes to the Father

514
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 8: but by me. There's not multiple ways to God. There's

515
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 8: only one path, and that's through Christ. And the reason

516
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 8: that is is because he is the only one in

517
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 8: history to take sin and die for your sin and

518
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 8: pay the penalty of your sin. When he hung on

519
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 8: the cross, God poured on his son this sin's past, sins, present,

520
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 8: sinds future. That's us. Jesus Christ shed his blood. In

521
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 8: the Bible says, there's no forgiveness of sin or remission

522
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 8: of sin without the shedding of blood. And here is

523
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 8: God shedding the blood of his son for you and

524
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 8: me and the whole world. And all we have to

525
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 8: do is just believe it. We don't buy it, so

526
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 8: you don't get mine, you don't do good works to

527
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 8: receive it is just by simply faith believing. And so

528
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 8: the Bible says, by grace I we saved your faith.

529
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 8: And so I would just erect I encourage a person

530
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 8: who's vestment. If you've never invited Christ into your art,

531
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 8: do right now to say, God, I'm a sinner and

532
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 8: I will turn to my sins, and I want to

533
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 8: trust your son Jesus Christ is my savior. I want

534
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 8: to invite him to come into my heart to take

535
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 8: control of my life. But this minute forward forever, and

536
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 8: if you pray that and you mean that, God will

537
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 8: hear your prayer. He'll answer your prayer, and you'll be forgiven.

538
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 8: And not only forgiven, but he will guarantee that you

539
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 8: have a spot in heaven for eternity with him. So

540
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 8: I would encourage people to do that and again and

541
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 8: just be sure, just like the presidence of just be sure,

542
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 8: make sure that your heart is right, God will bless

543
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 8: you and give you eternal life.

544
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 6: Amen to that, Franklin, We're going to have to leave

545
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 6: it there. Just wish you your family a very very

00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 6: hampy Easter.

Speaker 8: Thank you, Dodd, and same to you, all.

548
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 6: Right, Franklin, Graham, everybody, we'll be right back, all right.

549
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 6: Good to have you with us. Dylan. I'm contemplating this

550
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 6: next story we're about to talk about, but we were

551
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,040

Speaker 6: you're eating, if you're eating a ballooney sandwich or maybe

553
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 6: a delicious tuna fish sandwich, you might want to just

00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 6: come for a moment because we do have some breaking

555
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 6: news to share with you.

556
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 5: Breaking news now on the Todd starn Show.

557
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 6: Well, here is the headline, the latest from Washington. The

558
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 6: husband of Christy Nolme has apparently come out of the

559
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,719
Speaker 6: closet as a gay man who likes to cross dress

560
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 6: under the name Busty Bimbo. According to The New York Post,

561
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 6: Christinome is devastated by the salacious allegations. Her husband, Byron

562
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 6: lives a double life, actually a double d life to

563
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: be exact, where he cross dresses and chats online with

564
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 6: fetish models. According to missnomes representatives, she is devastated. The

565
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 6: family was blindsided by this and they ask for privacy

566
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 6: and prayers at the same time. According to The Daily Mail,

567
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 6: Byron Byron Nome chatted up women from the so called

568
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 6: Bimbofication fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their boobies

569
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 6: with massive amounts of saline to achieve a Barbie Doll

570
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 6: like appearance. Dylan, anytime, please tell me to stop.

571
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 7: I may have wanted to you that a couple minutes ago.

572
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 6: Citing hundreds hundreds of messages purportedly sent by three women

573
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 6: from the scene, Nomes's husband enthusiastically praised their heavily augmented

574
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: appearances and proclaimed he coveted huge, huge, ridiculous boobs. One

575
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 6: photo claims that mister Nomes shared with the women features

576
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 6: him wearing pink hotpants and a flesh colored skin tight suit.

577
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 6: He appears to have put balloons in his shirt to

578
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 6: mimic comically oversized lop sided breast, complete with fake protruding

579
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 6: can't say that word on the radio. The outlet spoke

580
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 6: to national security experts who surmised her husband's alleged proclivities

581
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 6: could have left the former DHS secretary, who was fired

582
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 6: last month, vulnerable to pitch a blackmount. Well, all right,

583
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 6: well you think so, now, ladies and gentlemen. I've been

584
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 6: getting some messages during the commercial break, and one person said,

585
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 6: everybody knew about this, and watched everybody knew about this.

586
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 6: So if that's true, if everybody knew about this, and

587
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: by the way, they had to have known. If you're

588
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 6: telling me that when the FBI went in and they

589
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 6: do background checks on everybody, you're telling me the FBI

590
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 6: missed that. I don't believe. I'm serious. This is insane. So,

591
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 6: I mean, the Christinolman had been and it had been long,

592
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 6: long rumored that she was in a relationship with Corey Lewandowski.

593
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 6: They traveled everywhere together and it was just a little weird.

594
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: She was asked about the relationship during hearings, and she

595
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 6: refused to answer the question, and that is, by the way,

596
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 6: what led her led to her oulster. But don it

597
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 6: was a promotion. She was promoted. No, it wasn't a promotion.

598
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 6: She's now Arco Rubio Secretary. But regardless, this certainly could

599
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 6: have put Homely Insecurity in a very very tight spot

600
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 6: had this information come out when she was the DHS secretary.

601
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 6: I mean, I just ask your question here, and I

602
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 6: just I don't mean anything by it, but can we

603
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 6: just not have normal people like working at our government,

604
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 6: just like regular folks? Just bolling? Is that possible? I'm

605
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 6: trying to understand the gay part of this though that

606
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 6: doesn't make any sense. So anyway, well we'll keep reading.

607
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 6: Maybe I don't want to know, Maybe that's it. Maybe

608
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 6: it's just best that we not know. But again, this

609
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 6: does create it does create a black male type situation.

610
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 6: And that's why I'm just shocked, shocked that well no,

611
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 6: they're saying alleged, but Christy Nome. According to the New

612
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 6: York Post and the reporting of the post, missus Gnome

613
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 6: is devastated and the family was blindsided. So it's not

614
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 6: like honey is that you and the photos. I think

615
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 6: that conversation has already been had, so we'll keep you

616
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 6: updated on any developments there. But that's just it's a

617
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 6: terrible thing. It's an awful thing. But who in their

618
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 6: right mind? I want to know who was responsible for

619
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 6: doing the background checks? I mean, that's that's what we

620
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 6: need to get. And by the way, what else did

621
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 6: they miss? I mean, if they miss a grown man

622
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 6: wearing boobies and hot pink tight pants, what else did

623
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 6: they miss? Ladies and gentlemen? All right, gotta take a

624
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 6: break here, go throw up regroup. Nine oh one two

625
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 6: six zero five nine tuesdas Jesus. You know it's only Tuesday.

626
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 6: It's only Tuesday, people. And by the way, could they

627
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 6: not have could they waited until after East to drump

628
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 6: this story?

629
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 5: Really?

630
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 6: Come on? All right, I gotta take a break. We'll

631
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 6: be right back to everybody.

632
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

633
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd starts.

634
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 5: Samaritan.

635
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 6: Oh, I forgot, ladies and gentlemen. Happy trans visibility Day

636
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 6: to you those of you that are celebrating. I can't

637
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 6: see you. Where are you. Oh, in all seriousness, ladies

638
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 6: and gentlemen, and we do take the trans issue very seriously.

639
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,959
Speaker 6: And I'm telling you that, at least in my neighborhood,

640
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 6: we are a very progressive neighborhood and people, I think

641
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 6: across the entire all of Germantown, Tennessee, I think is

642
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 6: celebrating Transvisibility Day. I know you seem shocked by that.

643
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 7: I'm a little shocked because I also live in Germantown.

644
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 6: So you haven't seen that. I mean, it's it's I

645
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 6: mean everywhere, like this morning, as I was driving in,

646
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 6: I saw maybe seventy five trans ams. I have never

647
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 6: seen so many trans ams in my life.

648
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 7: Popular car.

649
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, so happy transam Visibility.

650
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 7: Day, Happy, happy good day.

651
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 6: I don't think that's what I trans am. I'm sorry

652
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 6: what Helen's telling us that that's not exactly what Transvisibility

653
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 6: Day is all about.

654
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 7: That's what we celebrate.

655
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 6: I thought it was right exactly. That's God bless Burt Reynolds.

656
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 6: I thought I saw him driving around today. Maybe I

657
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 6: was mistaken. Anyway, Yeah, it is what transvisibility Day. And

658
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 6: I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to do. I mean,

659
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 6: what does that actually, what does that actually mean? I

660
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 6: will say this from New Hampshire. Our friends over at

661
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 6: libs of TikTok, they got a scoop. There's I think

662
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 6: she's a woman. She's a teacher at Timberlane High School

663
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 6: and her name is doctor Jennifer Pellerin. I think she

664
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 6: may have been Jim at birth. I don't know. I

665
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 6: can't tell. And you know that that that's inappropriate for

666
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 6: me to say that. So I don't know. Pronouns unclear?

667
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 6: How about that. We'll just leave it there anyway. Doctor Pellerine,

668
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 6: a teacher at Timberlane High School in New Hampshire, sent

669
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 6: a message to the staff asking them to show support

670
00:40:52,200 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: for TRANS Day of Visibility. She's in coouraging teachers to

671
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 6: put up trans posters in their classroom. You know, this

672
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 6: is why I could not be a school teacher, Dylan,

673
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 6: because there would be like Burt Reynolds and Sally oh

674
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 6: what was her name? Sally oh jeesel Is. Somebody will

675
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 6: call in on the smoking of the bandit movies. I

676
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 6: can't remember her name anyway, somebody will call in and

677
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 6: remind us. But I would have those I would have

678
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 6: those posters plastered all over the room, great teacher, we'd

679
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 6: watch Smoking in the Bandit all right, kids. One of

680
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 6: the best lines in that movie is when Sheriff oh

681
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 6: jees a loop. Jackie Gleasam played the sheriff. He played

682
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 6: a great Southern sheriff, even though he was not Southern,

683
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 6: and he told his son who was the deputy, and

684
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 6: his son was retarded, not in the literal sense, but

685
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 6: he was just, you know, a moron, and he said, Junior,

686
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 6: you'll always be my little tick turn. Best line in

687
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 6: the movie.

688
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 7: You should bring that back. Don't call any of us.

689
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 6: That, Congress Ben, you're a lion tick turn, Sir. I

690
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 6: almost said that a few times last night on Newsmax.

691
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 6: They're getting all my nerves. So anyway, if anybody remembers

692
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 6: who was it was anyway, it's Sally No, not Struthers.

693
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 6: That that was all the family. Anyway, somebody will call

694
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 6: in and remind us that. So Professor doctor pellerin telling

695
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 6: all the high school teachers that they need to be

696
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 6: wearing ally stickers and they need to be displaying some

697
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 6: sort of a poster in their classroom, and then she

698
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 6: provides them all by the way, I thought we had

699
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 6: stopped all of this, right, ladies and gentlemen, let me

700
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 6: say something here. The Trump administration is on dangerous ground

701
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 6: here because they're not following through with the President's directives. Now,

702
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 6: First of all, the Department of Education has not been dismantled,

703
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 6: it has not been defunded, and they are not putting

704
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 6: a stump to this. Remember, the President issued an executive order.

705
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 6: He gave the order. It is up to Linda McMahon

706
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 6: to enforce the order. How many stories have we shared

707
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: with you just in the past couple of weeks of

708
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 6: transgenderism creeping back onto these school campuses. Now, at some point,

709
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 6: ladies and gentlemen, at some point, the Department of Education

710
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 6: is going to have to do something here. Otherwise people

711
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 6: are going to wake up to this. And I think

712
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 6: they look, we pay attention to all of this because

713
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: I don't want my president to get impeached. And that's

714
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 6: what's going to happen. If these Republicans and the administration

715
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,280
Speaker 6: screw around and do not follow through on the President's agenda,

716
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 6: that's what's going to happen. So it's very simple, and

717
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: there should be no more second chances. None. You're advancing

718
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 6: this transgender nonsense. You're letting boys into girls locker rooms,

719
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 6: you're letting boys compete against girls. You lose your funding

720
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 6: and that's it for the entire year, no more funding

721
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 6: for you. But that's just me, that's no. I know

722
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 6: I'm not getting upset. I'm in a good mood today.

723
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 6: I'm just telling you this kind of stuff aggravates me

724
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 6: because they're still getting federal tax dollars. All right, let's

725
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 6: go to newburn North Carolina. Natalie is on the line.

726
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 6: Natalie helped me out here. My brain is it's just

727
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 6: not where it should be at today.

728
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 16: Yes, it is. You're doing great.

729
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 6: It's Burt RELs. It's Burt Reynolds.

730
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 16: Who is he Sally Field?

731
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 6: Sally Fields? Yes, thank you for that, you know, Natalie,

732
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 6: I kept thinking Sally Struthers and I'm like, no, that's

733
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 6: that's Archie Bunker.

734
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 16: Yes, yes, but no, we listened to you almost every

735
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 16: day here New Burnham. When we're in Ohio that's our

736
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 16: main home. We listened to you up there also, and

737
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 16: you're doing a phenomenal job.

738
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 6: Well, thank you for that. You know what I want

739
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 6: to do, Natalie, I've got a new book coming out

740
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 6: in May or maybe June. And I want to get

741
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 6: you a copy of that. Is that okay? I want

742
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 6: to be able to send it to you. Is that

743
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 6: all right?

744
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 16: Sure, that'd be great.

745
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 6: Wonder well, thank you for helping us out here on

746
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 6: the show, Ladies. So Natalie was my lifeline today, Sally Fields,

747
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 6: I knew it was. Yeah, there you go, by the way.

748
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 6: The new book is called Don't Go Anywhere, Natalie. We're

749
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 6: going to get all your info. The new book is

750
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:41,080

751
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 6: endorsements are just flowing in on this thing. People are

752
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 6: really loving the book, and we've got some advanced readers

753
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 6: out there. We're getting a lot of positive feedback. It'll

754
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 6: be in bookstores in May. You will need to pre

00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 6: order it today though, and you can do that by

756
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,239

00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,359

763
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 6: we had the best listeners. They I knew they would know.

764
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 7: They know more things than me. I've never heard of

765
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 7: these these people that you're there trying to figure out.

766
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 6: That was the golden age. Yeah, I'm saying, jen X,

767
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 6: we just had the best freaking movies. Yeah, we had

768
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 6: the best music.

769
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 7: We have too many movies now, and most of them

770
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:37,439
Speaker 7: are not good.

771
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 6: Most of them are remakes. Yeah, I'm like, don't be touching,

772
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 6: you know, don't be touch on my eighties movies.

773
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 7: Please, You're gonna make it woke, and you are.

774
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 6: But I kind of like, you know, I was born

775
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 6: in sixty seven, so I kind of my gap is

776
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 6: like seventies to eighties, and honestly, there was some those

777
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 6: are some incredible years.

778
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 7: Yeah. I love the eighties movies and Godfather can't go

779
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 7: wrong with that ever.

780
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 6: Best movie ever? Yeah, best movie ever. All right, let's

781
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 6: go to Jerry in Iowa. Jerry, what is on your

782
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 6: mind today?

783
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: Brothers Todd and Dylan. I'm just still amazed that. So

784
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 3: you let's let's just be honest. You're you're one of

785
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 3: the A list talents. You're real good at your job,

786
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 3: but you're still and you're a normal Christian and that

787
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 3: you invite listeners like me and Claire out in the

788
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: cheap seats to uh participate and all all of us

789
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 3: get to call in. You do a lot of caller time,

790
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 3: and it just still makes me feel connected. And I

791
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 3: know that a lot of people feel that like we're

792
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 3: not cut out just because we're not, you know, we

793
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 3: have other jobs and everything. So I really appreciate that

794
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 3: it feels like America. So the reason why I called

795
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 3: is you had a listener survey question earlier and I

796
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 3: think it was should or should would or will one

797
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 3: of those Christians become more politically active? And since I

798
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 3: heard Franklin, I'm going to say, share the gospel and

799
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: become politically more active both of those. And my experience

800
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: is that most Christians will not share their faith no

801
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: matter directly. You know, they'll I call it mo the

802
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 3: lawn for Jesus. People are supposed to drive by and

803
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 3: see a great lawn and go, oh, yeah, there must

804
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 3: be a gun. And most Christian conservatives will not speak

805
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 3: out on self government. For example, here in Iowa, in

806
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 3: the Cedar Valley, in Jeff's neighborhood, it's like an hour

807
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 3: from me, there's a cluster of cities where Islamic growth,

808
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 3: and I researched this Islamic growth from twenty to twenty

809
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: ten was linear, but from twenty ten to twenty six

810
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 3: it's becoming exponential. And I went and attended a care

811
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: Muslim brotherhood thing at the area college where they had

812
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 3: pighted them in and they're scooping up vacation Bible school

813
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 3: kids to go to their new Islamic center. Like you know,

814
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 3: a lot of secular kids won't even go to I mean,

815
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: they'll never go to church, but they'll go to BBS. Well,

816
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: the Muslims are trying to get them now. So no,

817
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 3: I don't think Christians they're not speaking up on that.

818
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 3: They and they don't. You cannot get people to share

819
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 3: the gospel or or point out the Islamic invasion because

820
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 3: it's like it's not their gift, it's not their calling,

821
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 3: Like Peter, like, do you know Jesus. Oh No, I've

822
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 3: never knew the guy myself, never seen him. Don't know

823
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 3: what you're talking about.

824
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 6: Well, look, here's the here's the here's the challenge I

825
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 6: have in all of this, and we are going to

826
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 6: have to stand up and fight eventually, that's where it's

827
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 6: all going to come to, and that's where all of

828
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 6: this is heading towards. Michael Yusef was on the show

829
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 6: and he said there's a difference between Muslims and Islamists.

830
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 6: There are many others who say there is no difference

831
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 6: between Muslims and Islamist. So the question is, and I

832
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 6: think I think most people in Congress and most people

833
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 6: and elected office would agree with doctor Usef that there

834
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 6: are muscle that are okay, that are not going to

835
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 6: blow you up, and then there are the Islamis who

836
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 6: want to blow all of us up. The question is

837
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 6: how do we how do we tell the difference? And

838
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 6: number two, what do we do about it? Because Jerry,

839
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 6: I see a situation where Christians do nothing, they allow

840
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 6: the Islamis to come in, take over, take control. They

841
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 6: are going to crack down on They'll be forcing the

842
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 6: women to wear the hitd jobs. And I think the

843
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 6: Christian women of America would willing, would willingly do that

844
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 6: fearing the alternative. So I'm just wondering, you know, are

845
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 6: we going to stand up? And if so, what exactly

846
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 6: does that look like? Because I think ten five, ten

847
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 6: years from now, we're going to be looking at a

848
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 6: very different version of America.

849
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 3: Well, my understanding is it's only three percent of the

850
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 3: population that can cause a revolution or whether it's Marxist,

851
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 3: Islamic or Christian revival. Most people sit it out. They

852
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 3: don't want to. They just want to wait around and

853
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: see who wins. They might have a feeling about it.

854
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 3: But Muslims and Islamist I think they're all complicit. I

855
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 3: think they smile on the inside when an Infidel gets

856
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 3: what they deserve. Now themselves might not blow something up

857
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: or chop somebody's head off, but they're kind of, you know,

858
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 3: like Islam's going to take over the world. So I

859
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 3: really don't see a difference between the two. There was

860
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 3: an attempted to be heading in Des Moines, by the way,

861
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 3: Steve Days did a whole hour long show where he

862
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 3: interviewed her. She survived. Cops happened to be in the area,

863
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 3: but the whole family was for it. She didn't want

864
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 3: to wear her key job, she wanted to keep going

865
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 3: to school after eighth grade, and they just all agreed that,

866
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, buff young twenty five year old is going

867
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 3: to do the deed. But they were all complicit in it.

868
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 3: So will Christians ever speak share the gospel, which is

869
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 3: God and country in that order. I mean, you know,

870
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 3: I don't know. You just they didn't want to sit

871
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 3: around and pray and wait for somebody else to.

872
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 6: Do the I don't think they're going to do it.

873
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going to do it. J I

874
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 6: really don't. We The churches in America are basically entertainment complexes.

875
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 6: I mean, that's what they've become. They've got juice bars,

876
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,479
Speaker 6: have got coffee shops, they're roasting their own beans. They've

877
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 6: got athletic centers, they've got the American Idol cover bands,

878
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 6: and they got a field good sermon. And that's I

879
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 6: think ultimately that is going to lead to the complete

880
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 6: and utter destruction of America if we don't turn that around. Jerry,

881
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 6: I've got to run. But thank you for that. And

882
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 6: I want to give you an example of what I'm

883
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 6: talking about here. So yesterday they announced they announced the

884
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 6: FBI did that the attack on the synagogue, that massive

885
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 6: synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Remember where the guy drove

886
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 6: the truck into the synagogue. It turns out that the suspect,

887
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 6: i'man Mohammed Ghazzali was motivated and inspired by Hesbalah militant ideology.

888
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 6: He wanted to kill as many Jews as possible. That's

889
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,760
Speaker 6: what the FBI is saying. Dozens of law enforcement officers

890
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 6: were hurt in the incident, but nobody inside the synagogue

891
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 6: was injured. Three days before the attack, Gazzali started looking

892
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,919
Speaker 6: at web pages for local synagogues. He tried to buy

893
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 6: a gun. They were people refused to sell the guy

894
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 6: a gun. He went to a gun store about an

895
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 6: ar Ar style rifle I'm reading from the ABC reporting here,

896
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 6: along with ten rifle magazines and three hundred rounds of AMMO.

897
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 6: He also searched for phrases including the largest gathering of

898
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 6: Israelis in Michigan and Israelis near me. So we know

899
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 6: that this was an act of Islamic terrorism. Do you

900
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 6: know to date, ladies and gentlemen, three thousand mosques in America,

901
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 6: not a single one condemned that attack. Something to think about,

902
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 6: not a one nine oh one two six zero five

903
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 6: nine two six hour number. That's nine oh one two

904
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 6: six zero five nine two six. This is the Ton

911
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 6: know what's funny, Dylan, there was a basketball player for Dallas,

912
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 6: the Dallas Mavericks. They were doing the post game press

913
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 6: conference and the guy was wearing like a Christian T

914

Speaker 6: shirt and the and the guy said he'd even a

915
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 6: reporter called him out on it, and so what does

916
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 6: that mean? It was something about faith, and you could

917
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 6: tell the poor guy was just like, uh oh, and

918
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 6: I not to get fired. Yeah, And he said, yeah,

919
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 6: this is what it says, but I'm not going to

920
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 6: tell you what it means because I don't want to

921
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 6: get fired.

922
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, he said faith is not for the week. That's

923
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 7: what was on the shirt. And he didn't want to

924
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 7: expand obviously he didn't want to get get you know, canned.

925
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 6: I mean, is that the kind of country? Is that

926
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 6: the kind of It's ridiculous. It's just ridiculous and then

927
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 6: some of the some of the coverage from the sports reporters,

928
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 6: and we're going to play some of this a little

929
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 6: bit later on. It's just outrageous. They're they're trying to

930
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,799
Speaker 6: portray him as some sort of a mental of a

931
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 6: mental case, you know, and he's just he's just a

932
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 6: Christian guy. I mean, come on, folks, all right, nine

Speaker 6: full benefits they deserve. But we've got a solution to that.

940
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 6: Social security expert Michael Allen has uncovered five key strategies

941

Speaker 6: to increase your Social Security Befit's bight as much as

00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 6: and it's all in a free special report courtesy of Newsmax.

944
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 6: I want you to write this number down so you

Speaker 6: can get this free report from Newsmax eight hundred ninety

946
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,640

950
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 6: nine nine nine ninety six ninety. Text and data rates

951
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 6: may apply. All right, Welcome back, everybody. This is the

952
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 6: Tod Starr Radio Show. Happy to have you with us today.

953
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 6: Our telephone number, by the way, nine to oh one

954
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 6: two six zero five nine two six. Again that number

955
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 6: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

956
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 7: All right.

957
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 6: We are still in a holding pattern here trying to

958
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,479
Speaker 6: figure out what's going to happen in the Senate. John

959
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 6: Thune is now playing hardball, folks. He knows that there's

960
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 6: pretty much no way that he is going to lose

961
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 6: control or lose power in the Senate. So that's one

962
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 6: of the reasons why John Thune is standing up to

963
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 6: the president, you know the and again you're watching as

964
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 6: the Senate leadership, they're blaming the parliamentarian who, by the way,

965
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 6: could have been fired. And if you remember early on

966
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 6: when just right after the Republicans took control, there was

967
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 6: an effort to fire the parliamentarian, but again citing tradition,

968
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 6: John Thune said, we're not going to do that. This

969
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 6: parliamentarian is pro Biden. So you kind of get an

970
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 6: idea of flavor of what's going on in the Senate.

971
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 6: The bigger question, though, is how will this impact the

972
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 6: midterm elections. To answer that question, I want to bring

973
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 6: in our chief Republican political strategist, Josh Jones. Josh, good

974
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 6: to see you today.

975
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 9: Good see you, Todd.

976
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 6: Hope you well doing well? All right? What say you

977
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 6: about the latest here? Senate in recess two week vacation

978
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 6: and nothing's getting done.

979
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 9: To your point, nothing's getting done.

980
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 17: I mean we are in the midterm year. We're in

981
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 17: April basically as of tomorrow, and the Senate's gone for

982
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 17: two weeks and not pushing forward any major piece of

983
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 17: legislation for the president's agenda. I mean, we have the

984
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,480
Speaker 17: same America Act, we have DHS, among a number of

985
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 17: other things, and the Senate chose to take two weeks off.

986
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 17: That's how to say there's not things going on in

987
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 17: their districts and states that they need to go attend to.

988
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 17: But wearing crunch time, this is the midterms, you have

989
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 17: to push through the major pieces of legation in order

990
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 17: in order to energize GOP voters and have them come

991
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 17: out to the polls in November.

992
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,320
Speaker 9: So it's very disappointing, you know.

993
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,959
Speaker 6: I think the the other component of this is that

994
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 6: that fun is not putting the Senate in recess, and

995
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 6: to me, that could have been the out. You know,

996
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 6: you're you're in recess. The President's going to do what

997
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 6: the president's going to do, and typically a president would

998
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 6: make those recess appointments. But President Trump is not even

999
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 6: allowed to do that. How How do you how is

1000
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 6: that playing out there among Republican voters.

1001
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 17: Look, I don't think it's too seem to tell. Essentially,

1002
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 17: I've talk a lot of Republican voters. For the most part,

1003
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 17: most people focus on paying their bills or you know,

1004
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,919
Speaker 17: make sure their kids get a good education, and they're

1005
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 17: not necessarily paid paying attention to the inside politics happening

1006
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 17: in DC right now. But by the time the Bimba

1007
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 17: rolls around, they will be or at least they'll be

1008
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,919
Speaker 17: more tuned in because there'll be ad campaigns, they'll be politicians,

1009
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 17: et cetera talking about it. So I don't think necessarily

1010
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 17: that the leadership and with some particular members and center

1011
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 17: are seeing a blowback. Quite Yeah, probably that's why they're

1012
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 17: feeling important or feel like it's a non issue. But

1013
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 17: I think eventually, once people start tuning in for the

1014
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 17: actual elections in November, they will start to see that blowback. Say,

1015
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 17: wait a second, We've done this whole year assiicially, and

1016
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 17: what have you done for us?

1017
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 6: And that's the big question. And I'm afraid that when

1018
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 6: we actually step back and we look, President Trump issued

1019
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 6: so many executive orders, but those orders were not codified

1020
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 6: many of the many of the things that the American

1021
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 6: voters wanted to have happened, for example, dismantling the Department

1022
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 6: of Education, We're moving the FBI out of Washington.

1023
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 18: D C.

1024
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 6: Moving some of the other government agencies out of DC.

1025
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 6: That really has not happened. And you wonder if the

1026
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 6: American people, if let's just you know, I don't think

1027
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 6: you're going to have Republicans just vote Democrat. But I

1028
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 6: do think you could have a situation where Republicans just

1029
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 6: stay home and they don't go out and vote on

1030
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:57,840
Speaker 6: election day.

1031
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it's a real possibility.

1032
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 17: I mean, as someone who's in the space day and

1033
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 17: day out, you know that's a real concern is Look,

1034
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 17: these people are typically going to switch over to the

1035
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 17: Democratic sound of the aisle because I mean, they're crazy,

1036
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 17: they've gone totally to the left. But at the same time,

1037
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 17: they don't have that motivation that come out to the

1038
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 17: polls you're going to lose because unfortunately, for better or

1039
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 17: for worse, Democrats do have.

1040
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 9: That motivation right now because they.

1041
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 17: See this as their opportunity to rebuke Trump. For better

1042
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 17: or worse, where's Republicans? You're an average Gepvotor's saying, Okay,

1043
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 17: well I like the President, but he's not on the

1044
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 17: ballot right now, and the Congress isn't doing anything, so

1045
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 17: why should I show up?

1046
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 9: And that's a real.

1047
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 6: Problem, Josh. I'm curious about the war we are now watching.

1048
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:47,040
Speaker 6: Clearly there was an uptick in bombing on Iran last night.

1049
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 6: We know that thousands of service members, hundreds of Marines

1050
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 6: are nearby on those ships waiting for what could be

1051
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 6: a possible ground invasion, and a lot of this could

1052
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 6: be President Trump just flexing his muscle. We may not

1053
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 6: see boots on the ground, but when you put that many,

1054
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 6: and we're talking thousands of troops in that in that theater.

1055
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 6: You do wonder if, in fact we could see boots

1056
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 6: on the ground, and if that happens, Josh, this is

1057
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 6: not going to be resolved by the time the midterms

1058
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 6: roll around. And I'm wondering how that How do you

1059
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 6: think that's going to play with the base of the

1060
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 6: Republican Party.

1061
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 17: Within the Republican Party, I mean, let's be honest, there

1062
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 17: is a divide when it comes to intervention. You have

1063
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 17: your more traditional conservatives who are more advice called it

1064
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 17: the Bush camp, who are grow intervention or at least

1065
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 17: to a degree, and you have your kind of your

1066
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 17: America first more isolations to me, to the party who say,

1067
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 17: wait a second, what are we doing in the Middle East?

1068
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 9: Again, this isn't what we voted for.

1069
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 17: So I mean, that is a divide that the president

1070
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 17: and the party is going to have to come together on.

1071
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 17: To your point, maybe this is President Trump flexing his

1072
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 17: muscle and it's part of a negotiating tactic.

1073
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 9: Obviously hidden.

1074
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 17: The Secretary of Defense secretary are much more read in

1075
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 17: and briefed and informed than any of us are, So

1076
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 17: I trust out they're making the best cause that they

1077
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 17: can based on the information that they've been given. But

1078
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 17: I mean, this is a real potential liability.

1079
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 9: Who knows. I mean, this thing could be over next.

1080
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 17: Week or to your point, if we put boots on

1081
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,959
Speaker 17: the ground that's going through the midterms. So really, based

1082
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 17: on what we know currently, it's kind of hard to tell.

1083
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 17: But I think a lot of people at the end

1084
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 17: of the day do put their faith in.

1085
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 9: The president to put America first, part.

1086
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 17: Of that being our national security, and he has a

1087
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 17: lot more information than we do necessarily on this.

1088
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 6: And that's really where I stand on all of that

1089
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 6: is I trust the president. He knows he has more

1090
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 6: intel than I've got, and so I'm willing to give

1091
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 6: him the benefit of the doubt. That being said, there

1092
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 6: are going to be consequences no matter what. And if

1093
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 6: you've got people and I'm looking at the average price

1094
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 6: of a gallon of gas now at four dollars across

1095
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 6: the country, I think at six dollars a gallon, if

1096
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 6: not higher in Los Angeles and over in California, there's

1097
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 6: going to be a price to pay politically for that.

1098
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:07,120
Speaker 6: No matter how well things may be going over there

1099
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 6: in Iran, agreed.

1100
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 17: I mean, gas prices, for example, are one of those

1101
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,520
Speaker 17: things that most people see every day. I mean they're

1102
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 17: on their way to work or on their way to

1103
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 17: get their kids from school. It's a price that's interface

1104
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 17: every single day. So and that's why the president back

1105
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 17: in twenty twenty four campaign so hard on it, and

1106
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 17: Republicans up and down the ballot look is one of

1107
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 17: those direct reflections.

1108
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 9: Of how the economy is doing.

1109
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 17: Because gas prices obviously part of the energy market, and

1110
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 17: not only does that effect you know, filling up your tank,

1111
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 17: but affects your energy build, your utility build, or if

1112
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 17: you're flying, it affects how expensive airfare is. So as

1113
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 17: a huge trickle down effect to even your grocery prices

1114
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 17: because you have to pay for the fuel for the

1115
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 17: distributors to transport it from the farms to the grocery stores.

1116
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 17: So I mean, it affects all parts of our economy,

1117
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 17: gas prices.

1118
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 9: Being the most prominent one.

1119
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 17: So I hope there's a quick resolution of what's happening

1120
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 17: in the Middle East so we can bring those prices

1121
01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 17: back down, because it's a temporary thing that's not reflective

1122
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 17: at the actual market.

1123
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 9: It's just because of the string of the heart news,

1124
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 9: which is.

1125
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 17: So very boud issue for the President and the administration

1126
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 17: to address. So hopefully there's a quick resolution there.

1127
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 6: All right, Josh Jones, always good seeing you, my friend,

1128
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 6: and appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your

1129
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 6: busy day. Hope you and your family have a great

1130
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 6: Easter weekend as well. Todd, Thanks, All right, there you

1131
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,959
Speaker 6: have it, folks. Now, look, I will I will see

1132
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 6: this about the war. And again I don't do I

1133
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 6: know for certain that we are going to have boots

1134
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 6: on the ground. No, I don't, But all I know

1135
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 6: is those boots are ready to go. They are there,

1136
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 6: and we're talking about thousands of troops and some of

1137
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 6: you may live near military bases and maybe your your

1138
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 6: local base has gotten the orders to head on over

1139
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 6: to the Middle East and to ship out, and that

1140
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 6: very well may happen. But if in fact we do

1141
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 6: have boots on the ground, and that is being taught

1142
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 6: talked about within the halls of Congress and at sixteen

1143
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 6: hundred Pennsylvania Avenue, if in fact that really does happen,

1144
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 6: that is going to be a factor in the midterm elections,

1145
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 6: and especially if we start seeing an unfortunately high body

1146
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,240
Speaker 6: count of American service members. So just things to pay

1147
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 6: attention to. What's done is done. It can't be undone.

1148
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 6: And I don't see the President just announcing suddenly today

1149
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 6: we've won the war and we're out. You know, it's

1150
01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,320
Speaker 6: far from over. And we had a congressman on the

1151
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 6: show yesterday. We're going to play this in the next

1152
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 6: hour of this program. Last night on Newsmax, we had

1153
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 6: Congressman Growthman from Wisconsin, and he made an interesting observation.

1154
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 6: He says, one of the big problems you've got these

1155
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 6: senators like John Kennedy. He called out John Kennedy specifically,

1156
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 6: and they're out there saying, oh, we've won the war,

1157
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 6: when in fact, the war is not over. And he

1158
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,840
Speaker 6: said that the Senate is sending mixed messages. I'm telling

1159
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 6: you there is a lot of anger and hatred right

1160
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 6: now between the House and the Senate. But I think

1161
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,920
Speaker 6: Growthman's got a point here that you've got these senators

1162
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 6: out there saying, oh, we're winning this thing, when in

1163
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 6: fact it's far from over. And we know that because

1164
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 6: of what happened last night. All Right, we've got to

1165
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 6: take a break. Nine oh one two six zero five,

1166
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 6: dine two six. If the President says we've got to

1167
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 6: send in troops, boots on the ground, We've got to

1168
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 6: invade Iran, will you support the president? Yes?

1169
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 5: Or no?

1170
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 6: I mean, that's the big issue of the day. Will

1171
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 6: you support the president? Nine oh one two six zero five,

1172
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 6: dine two six. This is the Ton Stern Show. All right,

1173
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 6: welcome back everybody. This is the Tod Sterns Radio Show.

1174
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 6: Happy to have you with us. So, Houston, Texas, you

1175
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 6: guys have a big problem down there. I'm wondering about this,

1176
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 6: this Houston rodeo. Now, apparently this is a pretty big deal.

1177
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of what comparison and Memphis we

1178
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 6: would have to it. But you guys, my understanding is

1179
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,959
Speaker 6: this is like an annual tradition and a lot of people.

1180
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 6: It's a livestock show and a rodeo. Do you actually

1181
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 6: get to ride on the steers or you know, how

1182
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 6: does that all play out? If so, Dylan, I am

1183
01:08:19,400 --> 01:08:23,479
Speaker 6: sending you over to We're going to put you on assignment. Yes,

1184
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 6: well wait a weeute, wait, we can put the intern

1185
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:26,759
Speaker 6: in the intern.

1186
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 7: We can put in on the back of a bull.

1187
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 6: Would he ride a bull and I don't know.

1188
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 7: How long you would last on that, but I would

1189
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:34,599
Speaker 7: be curious.

1190
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 6: We'll need to check the insurance policy on that. Yeah,

1191
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 6: But anyway, this is it's the Houston Livestock and Show

1192
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 6: in rodeo and it's sort of like they have exhibitors,

1193
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 6: so I guess it's sort of it sort of has

1194
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 6: the feel of like a county fair on steroids. They

1195
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 6: also have an international wine competition, which seems slightly out

1196
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 6: of place at a rodeo, but what do I know,

1197
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 6: Maybe they're high now. So anyway, all you know what

1198
01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 6: has been breaking loose at the rodeo. It's like, so

1199
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 6: you've got these these big, huge crowds and they're overwhelmingly

1200
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 6: black young people. They're kids, teenagers, and they're fighting, they're

1201
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 6: causing mayhem. It's insane, and they've been having to shut

1202
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 6: the thing down. So people have been really frustrated, at

1203
01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 6: least in the news coverage that the young people are

1204
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 6: just they're acting like animals, probably worse thing because the

1205
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 6: animals do not behave like that. So anyway, this one

1206
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 6: black guy called into a radio station in Houston and

1207
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,879
Speaker 6: the guy is just going off and it's he's raising

1208
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 6: excellent points and I want you to take a listen

1209
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:48,280
Speaker 6: to what the guy had to say.

1210
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, my name is Jonathan, I mean Houston, Texas, and

1211
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 4: I am a Black Americas Conservative and I am sick

1212
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 4: and tired of I'll be glad when this rodeo get

1213
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 4: the hell out of town. I'm kicking tired of these

1214
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 4: particularly females showing they all over the place at a friendly,

1215
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 4: friendly event. This is out of control, and I'll be

1216
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 4: glad when somebody standing there and speak speak on it.

1217
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 4: And also the black this music that we are letting

1218
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 4: our children listen to that's coming across the radio. Is

1219
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 4: there any thing that we can do about that? This

1220
01:10:23,920 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 4: rap music is out of control and it is a

1221
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,560
Speaker 4: matra and it is spreading these demons all over the community.

1222
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call. Bye.

1223
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 19: I love this guy, this guy Jonathan and Houston. Hey man,

1224
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 19: thank you for saying that. If my mind could talk,

1225
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 19: it'll be Jonathan's voice saying that. And every every black

1226
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 19: man that live in these community that's adult, that's a

1227
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 19: mature adult. Every black man living the community agree with

1228
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 19: the same thing he just said.

1229
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 8: God dangn that was funny.

1230
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that lord what he said there, though, it's true,

1231
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 6: we have the same situation here in Memphis where we

1232
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 6: have these We've got these mobs of young black kids

1233
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 6: and they're they're causing mayhem. And you've got the black

1234
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 6: men in the community. We're talking you know, we're talking

1235
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 6: about business men, we're talking about you know, dad's husbands,

1236
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 6: and they're out there saying this is this has got

1237
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 6: to stop. And the problem is that a lot of

1238
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 6: these young kids running around they've got no dad in

1239
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 6: the in the in the picture, or maybe mom just

1240
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 6: doesn't care, and so therefore they're just running around, running

1241
01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 6: around like crazy. And I wanted you to hear this

1242
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 6: because the black community is just as upset and as

1243
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 6: outraged over the lawlessness as everybody else is. Now. Over

1244
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 6: the over the weekends, you had these big no Kings

1245
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 6: protests and nobody knew what they were out there. Nobody

1246
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 6: knew what they were protesting, not a single one. Nobody

1247
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,560
Speaker 6: knew what they were protesting. Reporters would go out and

1248
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 6: they nobody had a clue. They couldn't tell you. They

1249
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:13,759
Speaker 6: just showed up. Well, in Memphis, we had violence breakout,

1250
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 6: so the police, you know, here in Tennessee. It's illegal

1251
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 6: to block a roadway. You're not allowed to do that.

1252
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 6: And so when these people got a permit, they got

1253
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 6: a permit to protest, but the protest was supposed to

1254
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 6: be in a park. Well, these yahoo's decided they're going

1255
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 6: to go and march in the streets. Police said, can't

1256
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 6: do that. Forty five minutes. Forty five minutes, ladies in Chellowen.

1257
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 6: Forty five minutes. The police were begging the protesters to

1258
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 6: get out of the streets. They refused to do so.

1259
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 6: Forty five minutes. It was back and forth. Finally the

1260
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 6: police moved in and that's when all you know what

1261
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 6: broke loose. They had to haul out the pepper spray.

1262
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,560
Speaker 6: People were arrested. And now that the protesters are claiming

1263
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 6: that they've been victims of police brutality and so and

1264
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 6: by the way, it's all captured on film. You can

1265
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 6: see it for yourself, very clear. These people were breaking

1266
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 6: the law. And the mayor has come out as well

1267
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 6: as the police chief. They're both Democrats, and they have

1268
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 6: now placed the officers involved in this on administrative leave.

1269
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 6: And these officers are now under investigation. And we're just

1270
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 6: trying to figure out why what's going on here? The

1271
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,640
Speaker 6: police officers did their jobs and what sort of a

1272
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,759
Speaker 6: message is this sending the law enforcement When the mayor

1273
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 6: and your police chief are going to throw the officers

1274
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,919
Speaker 6: under the bus. What does that tell you, ladies and gentlemen.

1275
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 6: I mean, good grief for crying out loud. Let's go

1276
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 6: to Tom in Houston. Tom, what's on your mind?

1277
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 14: Hell Todd? I heard something and I know it needs

1278
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 14: to have national attention, and I hope you are aware.

1279
01:13:57,280 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 14: But if not, your crack staff five hundred people underneath,

1280
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:07,520
Speaker 14: you can get on it right away. But in Pittsburgh

1281
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 14: they are going to close the schools down for four

1282
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 14: days because the NFL Draft is coming to town. Have

1283
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 14: you heard about this?

1284
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 6: You know, I think I had heard something about that

1285
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 6: in the mix.

1286
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 14: This is crazy. And you're talking right now about these

1287
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,559
Speaker 14: wild eyed children and getting crazy. You know, it don't

1288
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 14: matter if it's midnight or twelve thirty noon lunchtime. They're

1289
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 14: just getting stupid, crazy and all over the place. And

1290
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 14: why because they're being instructed to do so by the

1291
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 14: examples of quote unquote adults. You know this has got

1292
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 14: to stop. We need to you know, I say, put

1293
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 14: them all in Catholic school with a bunch of nuns.

1294
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,600
Speaker 14: They have to wear the uniforms and then you know,

1295
01:14:58,680 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 14: maybe two Fridays each year they get a free day

1296
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 14: where they get to wear a blue jas.

1297
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,959
Speaker 6: And pass out those yardsticks. Tom start rapping some knuckles.

1298
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 6: That's what I say. Hey, Tom, it's a great call.

1299
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 6: I gotta leave it there. Hang tie everybody. Our three

1300
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 6: coming up.

1301
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: By from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1302
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1303
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 2: That's us, that's.

1304
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 6: Amarican to start all right, Hello, everybody, welcome to the

1305
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,400
Speaker 6: Ton Stearns Radio Show, and honor to have you with us.

1306
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:59,719
Speaker 6: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

Speaker 6: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six

1308
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:08,639
Speaker 6: zero five, nine to six. So this is really getting

1309
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 6: out of hand, this NBA situation, and we've had a

1310
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 6: lot of new developments just in the past hour or so.

1311
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,479
Speaker 6: Here's here's what I don't understand, Dylan. So, if if

1312
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 6: you're a basketball star and you beat your wife, you're

1313
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 6: gonna get like a thirty game suspension. Right, You're gonna

1314
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 6: beat the living crap out of your wife or your ex. Yeah,

1315
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 6: you know, you get arrested, you get charged with you know,

1316
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,600
Speaker 6: just pick a crime. You're okay, you're a good But

1317
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 6: if you don't support Pride month, you're out of there.

1318
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 7: Crazy.

1319
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,000
Speaker 6: I mean, that's insane.

1320
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 7: It's it's surprising how many times we've actually seen that

1321
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 7: example play out, not only in the NBA, but also

1322
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 7: in the NFL. Like so many of the star players,

1323
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 7: they do something horrendous to their spouse. Okay, wasn't really

1324
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 7: that bad, Like, yes, it.

1325
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 6: Is, But if you like pledge allegiance to the flag

1326
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 6: and sing the national anthem, oh my god, what's wrong

1327
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 6: with you? So now there's a sports broadcaster in Chicago,

1328
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 6: sports talk show host, and man, have you noticed what's

1329
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 6: up with all these sports talk guys? They're all leftists?

1330
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 6: What's going on there?

1331
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 8: I know?

1332
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 6: Is that a rule at ESPN? Now you've got to

1333
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 6: be a far leftist my word? Anyway, I want you

1334
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 6: to listen to this guy. He's talking about Jaden Ivy.

1335
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 6: Jaden Ivy was removed. He was dismissed from the team

1336
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,559
Speaker 6: because he had a problem with the fact that the

1337
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 6: NBA is promoting and celebrating and forcing people to celebrate

1338
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:40,760
Speaker 6: gay pride events. And now he's being called homophobic, He's

1339
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 6: being called all sorts of names. Many of these sportscasters

1340
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 6: are suggesting that the guy is mentally ill. Take a

1341
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 6: listen to cut seven.

1342
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, first, you hope that Jaden Ivy gets the professional

1343
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 15: help and counseling that he would seem to need. And

1344
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 15: Billy Donovan even diferenced it's a very delicate balance you

1345
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,280
Speaker 15: have to strike when talking about this from the bull's perspective,

1346
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 15: But that honestly is the biggest thing here. You've got

1347
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 15: a twenty seven year old young man who clearly has

1348
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 15: some issues that he needs to confront and address and

1349
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 15: are unresolved in his life. Then, from my perspective, I

1350
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 15: don't think this is really about denying freedom of speech

1351
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 15: and denying freedom.

1352
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 5: Of religious expression.

1353
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 15: This is about upholding a certain standard of respect and

1354
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 15: professionalism and acceptance within the framework of a team and

1355
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 15: the structure of an organization. This is a professional standard

1356
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 15: that he did not meet and a line that he crossed.

1357
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 7: Locker rooms. Locker rooms are.

1358
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 5: Places of inclusion.

1359
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 15: There are places where you have different beliefs that you

1360
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 15: have to tolerate. You have to be people that welcome

1361
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 15: all walks of life and all different races, creeds, ethnic backgrounds.

1362
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 7: That's the beauty of sports.

1363
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,920
Speaker 15: And players can I expect to criticize their employer and

1364
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 15: then have no repercussion. That's what's going on here. Whether

1365
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 15: it's the NBA Odyssey, a radio station, wherever you work,

1366
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,200
Speaker 15: a fortune five hundred company, you can't say what he

1367
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 15: said about your employer and expect to.

1368
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:20,480
Speaker 6: Be no repercussion.

1369
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 15: Now, they waived him rather than suspended him, and that

1370
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 15: may have to do with his value to them.

1371
01:19:28,760 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 7: Well, that's part of it.

1372
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 15: And he was here for four he played in four games.

1373
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 15: He wasn't here for four years. The criteria and the

1374
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,720
Speaker 15: threshold might be different. If a player means more to

1375
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 15: an organization, that's also just the way it goes. He

1376
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 15: didn't mean as much to the Bulls because he hadn't

1377
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,720
Speaker 15: been here long enough to prove what his value was,

1378
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:53,520
Speaker 15: or to prove anything. Frankly, so it's a reasonable expectation,

1379
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 15: I believe. Professionally it's a privilege to play in the NBA.

1380
01:19:58,600 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 7: It's not a right.

1381
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,800
Speaker 15: But with that privilege comes conditions that he did not meet.

1382
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 15: You cannot go scorched earth on the league and expect

1383
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 15: to have nothing happen. It's a sad story, but he

1384
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 15: definitely wrote his own ending.

1385
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 6: All right, there you go, So just so you're aware,

1386
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 6: this is what Christians are dealing with. And this is

1387
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 6: a younger guy. He's in his twenties and just trying

1388
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 6: to live out of his faith and he's you know,

1389
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 6: he's gonna end up losing all of this stuff. It's

1390
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 6: it's a mess. Nine oh one two six zero five

1391
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,759
Speaker 6: nine two six is our number. That's nine oh one

1392
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:37,480
Speaker 6: two six zero five nine two six. So there's a

1393
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 6: turning point USA. You know, they have this whole faith

1394
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,720
Speaker 6: division turning point faith, and they have a lot of

1395
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 6: a lot of preachers that are involved in this. I

1396
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 6: am not involved in it, and none of the pastors

1397
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 6: that I consider dear friends are involved with it either.

1398
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:56,679
Speaker 6: But but what But as a result of TPUSA faith

1399
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 6: and all of that stuff, a lot of young people

1400
01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 6: have just sort of popping up onto the scene. Now

1401
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 6: as what Christian influencers Dylan, I guess is that a

1402
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:06,440
Speaker 6: good way to describe.

1403
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're young people that are mostly using social media

1404
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 7: to get the message of the gospel out.

1405
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,879
Speaker 6: So and one of these guys, his name is Bryce Crawford.

1406
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 6: Are you familiar with this guy?

1407
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:20,200
Speaker 7: Yes, I've videos.

1408
01:21:20,280 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 6: So he's a young guy. He's very young, and he

1409
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 6: wanted to do a sit down with Kenneth Copeland, who's

1410
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:31,480
Speaker 6: like one of these prosperity gospel people. And Kenneth Copeland

1411
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:36,439
Speaker 6: has a very long history. I don't follow him, you know,

1412
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 6: it is you know, if that's what you do, and

1413
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 6: you want to give money to, you know, a program

1414
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 6: or a ministry or a televangelist like that, that's up

1415
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 6: to you. So anyway, Kenneth Copeland is worth a bazillion

1416
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 6: dollars and he's got a massive ranch and it used

1417
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 6: to be a Marine Corps air station, thirty three acres,

1418
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 6: and he's got a lot of he's just got a

1419
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 6: lot of money. I mean a lot of money. And

1420
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 6: he asked people to send him money and he was

1421
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:14,719
Speaker 6: he serves on President Trump's advisory board. He's got the jet,

1422
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 6: the private jets, you know that kind of that. It's

1423
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 6: that crowd. A side note, just a side note, when Franklin,

1424
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 6: when Billy Graham passed away, the grand family asked me

1425
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 6: to attend the funeral, and I was honored to do so,

1426
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 6: and it was at It was at the Billy Graham

1427
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 6: President It's Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. So, Dylan,

1428
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 6: I'm flying down there on Delta, and they had these

1429
01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:45,240
Speaker 6: little jitneys, you know, these little tiny minibuses, and they

1430
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 6: picked people up. And I'm not going to tell you

1431
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 6: who all was in this jitney, but a lot of

1432
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 6: the people that you would consider to be Christian influencer

1433
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 6: type people were on this. And then there was me.

1434
01:22:56,640 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 6: I was the regular Joe and so, oh, they're taking us.

1435
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 6: So we were leaving the funeral. I got there. I

1436
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 6: got there early, and I took a cab to get

1437
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 6: to the library. But on the way back they were

1438
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:11,799
Speaker 6: going to drop us off of the airport. But first

1439
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 6: they did a stop at the private jets airport and

1440
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 6: there must have been I guess there were thirty five

1441
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 6: forty people, No, it was forty. There were forty people

1442
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:24,639
Speaker 6: on the bus. All of them got out and went

1443
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 6: to their private jets. There was one person left on

1444
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 6: the jetney. It was yours, truly, and the driver says,

1445
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 6: where's your jet and I said it's Delta, wow, And.

1446
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 7: He took me.

1447
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 6: He just started laughing and shook his head and had

1448
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 6: to take me to the airport for the regular people.

1449
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 7: Something about that doesn't feel It just doesn't rub.

1450
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 6: The It was so weird it did. It was just

1451
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 6: a little off putting because I'm thinking, these people are

1452
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 6: all preachers. What are they doing with private jets. I'm like,

1453
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 6: what the heck? But I'm not judging. I'm just like

1454
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 6: I had to stand in a TSA line and get manhandled.

1455
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I got the extra security screening at that one.

1456
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 6: You know who is behind me in the line though,

1457
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 6: Bill Gather so they fly normal to I like that

1458
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 6: they pulled him aside for the special screening too. He

1459
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:26,640
Speaker 6: had the high notes on amazing grace. Anyway, where were we?

1460
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, Bryce Crawford. So anyway, I think there was

1461
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 6: like this whole thing where he wanted to sit down

1462
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 6: and do an interview with Kenneth Copeland about like his

1463
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 6: the prosperity gospel, right, That's what Kenneth Copeland's don for.

1464
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 6: And I think the whole point of it was to

1465
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 6: sort of, I don't want to say mock but really

1466
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 6: sort of call out, you know, the whole prosperity gospel.

1467
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 6: And someone sent this to me during the interview. Well,

1468
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 6: the interview was was sponsored and I want you to listen.

01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 6: So I thought this was a joke. It's a real thing,

1498
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 6: And I don't know. I drink gatorade, so I don't

1499
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,160
Speaker 6: know if that makes me a heathen and I don't

1500
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:28,799
Speaker 6: know if any.

1501
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 7: I don't.

1502
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 6: I don't. Well, yeah, I hope somebody prayed over my gatorade,

1503
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 6: but I and I appreciate that, and I'm not mocking

1504
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 6: I'm really not mocking him. But the question is this

1505
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 6: guy is all upset because Kenneth Copeland is out there

1506
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 6: raking in millions of dollars in the name of the Lord,

1507
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,640
Speaker 6: and at the same time, this guy, Bryce Crawford is

1508
01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 6: going down to interview Kenneth Copeland, and I'm I'm assuming

1509
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 6: to have a healthy debate about all of this, which

1510
01:27:02,240 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 6: I don't know when that's gonna be released, but well,

1511
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 6: you know, I'm interested. I'm gonna watch it. But but

1512
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 6: the whole interview with Kenneth Copeland to call out prosperity

1513
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 6: teaching is being sponsored by a faith based energy drink.

1514
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 6: I I just I don't get it. I don't. I

1515
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,800
Speaker 6: just don't get it. And it's just, you know, when

1516
01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:31,600
Speaker 6: you step back and I've been in this world, you know,

1517
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 6: I cover this world on a regular basis, and I

1518
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 6: get to see a lot of people for who they

1519
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 6: really are. And and I don't begrudge anybody for wanting

1520
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 6: to make a book. I don't. But if you're going

1521
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 6: to go out there and you're going to criticize, criticize

1522
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 6: somebody for making money off of Jesus and you're turning

1523
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 6: around and you're making money off of Jesus, yeah, I'm

1524
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 6: gonna call you out on that because that just doesn't

1525
01:27:55,800 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 6: make it. That's weird to me, weird to me. So anyway, Oh,

1526
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 6: and he's got his own merch. I mean that's like

1527
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 6: Bryce Crawford. He's got like his own like merch.

1528
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a fool on influencer. It is weird. It

1529
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,600
Speaker 7: is weird. I don't. I don't get it. It is

1530
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 7: very ironic though, that he is selling something and he

1531
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:23,879
Speaker 7: is sponsoring himself on a podcast about prosperity Gospel.

1532
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:27,200
Speaker 6: Somebody sent me and I thought it was a joke.

1533
01:28:27,280 --> 01:28:29,759
Speaker 6: I'm like, there's no way this guy he's mocking. At first,

1534
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 6: I thought, oh wow, what a clever way to mock,

1535
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 6: you know, the prosperity gospel thing. You know, I don't

1536
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 6: buy into the prosperity gospel thing. I don't. That's but

1537
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,600
Speaker 6: if that's your thing, that's your thing. But I just

1538
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 6: thought it was. But it's not. And I wonder if

1539
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,559
Speaker 6: Kenneth Copeland, you know, in the interview called him out

1540
01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 6: on it, you know, I mean, it's crazy.

1541
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 7: I'm sure he was. Like I wish I had that idea.

1542
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:56,960
Speaker 6: I was thinking about doing a juice bar like a Christian.

1543
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 6: I wanted to like franchise for all the churches. I

1544
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 6: got had an idea like every church in America, you know,

1545
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 6: because they had all the churches have like the coffee houses,

1546
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,559
Speaker 6: and they have clever names, and so I wanted to

1547
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:12,839
Speaker 6: come up with one that was a little bit healthier

1548
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:15,600
Speaker 6: and it was going to be like freshly squeezed like

1549
01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 6: you know, orange juice and all this other kind of stuff,

1550
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:21,720
Speaker 6: and you could franchise it so your church, you know,

1551
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 6: we we'd package everything. It's kind of like Chick fil

1552
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 6: A for church, except this would be open on Sunday.

1553
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 6: And I had already come up with a name and everything.

1554
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 6: King of the Juice.

1555
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's it. Marketing genius.

1556
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 6: I couldn't get investors. I could hit it. I'm shocked

1557
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 6: anybody missed the old days when I don't know. You

1558
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 6: go to church, you hear the gospel presented, you open

1559
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,439
Speaker 6: up the Bible, you study the Bible, you present the

1560
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,439
Speaker 6: gospel message. People get saved. You go to church training

1561
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 6: on Sunday night, and you you learn how to apply

1562
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 6: your faith to your life. Anybody remember those days? Are

1563
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 6: any churches actually doing that in America anymore? Or is

1564
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:12,440
Speaker 6: it all just I don't know influencers. Here's the problem

1565
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 6: with all these influencers. I don't think they're all that influential.

1566
01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:19,200
Speaker 6: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

1567
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 6: hour telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero

1568
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:24,719
Speaker 6: five nine two six. This is the Ton Stern Show.

1569
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:41,720
Speaker 6: I want to play something for you. This woman is

1570
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 6: running for Congress in Florida's first congressional district. And I

1571
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 6: don't think she's got much of a chance, but maybe

1572
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 6: she doesn't. I want you to listen to this, and

1573
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 6: I want you to try to figure out which political

1574
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 6: party she actually is a member of. Take a listen

1575
01:30:59,320 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 6: to cut one.

1576
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,840
Speaker 21: Welcome to Florida's first congressional district, Jimmy Patronis. I'm going

1577
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 21: to give you a little tour today so that you

1578
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 21: don't actually live here.

1579
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 6: You know, in case you want to visit sometimes.

1580
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 21: Our home has a unique culture, a rich military history,

1581
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 21: and a food and music scene that's worth the visit.

1582
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 21: When you get here, you better slow down for the

1583
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 21: three mile Bridge speed trap. It's pretty easy to miss

1584
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 21: most tourists do, but we'll forgive you this time.

1585
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,000
Speaker 13: You have to spare some time.

1586
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,880
Speaker 21: For our district vibrant art scene. Well that turned out

1587
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:36,200
Speaker 21: pretty damn good. And in case you get hungry, we'll

1588
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:39,560
Speaker 21: save you a plate because we treat strangers like our own.

1589
01:31:39,720 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 21: There's so many reasons to visit our district, but what

1590
01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 21: really makes us place special is it's people, especially the

1591
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 21: ones who step up to represent their hometown. Jimmy, your

1592
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:57,640
Speaker 21: choices have left us with some serious challenges, cost of food, housing, insurance,

1593
01:31:58,200 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 21: just to name a few.

1594
01:31:59,400 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 13: Help.

1595
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,680
Speaker 21: We're better than some numbers on a spreadsheet, and we

1596
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,719
Speaker 21: deserve a full time leader, not a part time tourists.

1597
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 21: That's why I'm running for congress District one.

1598
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 13: I want to represent you because I'm.

1599
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 21: One of you, and it's gonna take all of us, y'all,

1600
01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 21: So dush yourself off and find something orange. Jimmy, bless

1601
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:24,320
Speaker 21: your heart. We hope you enjoyed your visit, but we'll

1602
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 21: take it from here. I'm gave Alimont and I approved

1603
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 21: this message.

1604
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 6: So someone sent this to me last night. And when

1605
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 6: I'm listening to this and i'm watching it, it's really

1606
01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 6: a very well done campaign hat and she's running for

1607
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 6: the first congressional district there in Florida against Jimmy Patrona's

1608
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,240
Speaker 6: And it took me a second because I thought she

1609
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:52,920
Speaker 6: was a Republican. My eyebrow raised when she started talking

1610
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:55,800
Speaker 6: about the vibrant art scene because that's not something typically

1611
01:32:55,840 --> 01:33:02,280
Speaker 6: that that Republicans talked about. But I'm sitting here going,

1612
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:07,560
Speaker 6: holy cramp. This is a really good campaign ant and

1613
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:11,599
Speaker 6: she may very well. Look, this is a heavily Republican district.

1614
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 6: She's already run for office once before and lost, so

1615
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 6: it I mean, there would have to be something somewhat

1616
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,400
Speaker 6: catastrophic happened in the midterm elections for her to win.

1617
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:25,200
Speaker 6: But I'm telling you that is a way if the

1618
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 6: Democrats are trying to get their messaging out there. Uh,

1619
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 6: that's one way to do it right there. All right,

1620
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:34,000
Speaker 6: gotta take a break. Nine oh one two six zero

1621
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 6: five nine two six. I have a question. What is

1622
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:40,440
Speaker 6: it going to take for Republicans to win the midterms?

1623
01:33:40,479 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 6: What do they need to be doing here? We'll be

1624
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 6: right back.

1625
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:03,600
Speaker 8: God, I'll tell you what the Republicans need to do

1626
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 8: if they're gonna win midterms.

1627
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 5: They need to get up off their asses and get

1628
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:11,080
Speaker 5: out and vote. That's as blund as I can be.

1629

1636
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 6: two six to zero five nine two six Maria in Hendersonville,

1637
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 6: North Carolina. What a wonderful town. Hi Maria, what's on

1638
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 6: your mind?

1639
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 22: Hi? Todd? I was wanting to appeal to America to

1640
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:49,480
Speaker 22: not fall for the Democrats who are presenting presenting themselves

1641
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:54,280
Speaker 22: as moderates and center lane. They're wanting to jump on

1642
01:34:54,360 --> 01:35:02,200
Speaker 22: the Christian vandwagon. It is only a bait and switch tactic,

1643
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:07,439
Speaker 22: just like that governor spam Burger in Virginia used. She

1644
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 22: got in with that, and then the very next day

1645
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:16,800
Speaker 22: she went right back to her progressive policies. It's it's

1646
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:20,800
Speaker 22: a deception, America. Please don't fall for it. It's bait

1647
01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:24,200
Speaker 22: and switch. Like a fisherman, he puts that bait on

1648
01:35:24,320 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 22: the hook, gets you on the hook, reels you in,

1649
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:33,960
Speaker 22: and then we'll gut you and either throw your carcass

1650
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 22: in the trash or put you in the frying pan. America,

1651
01:35:38,040 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 22: don't fall for these Democrats and this moderate bait and

1652
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:43,759
Speaker 22: switch tactic.

1653
01:35:43,880 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 18: Please.

1654
01:35:44,920 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 6: Wow. I could not have said it any better, Maria,

1655
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 6: And you're right. What happened in Virginia is a great

1656
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 6: example of the bait and sweat. You had Abigail Spamberger,

1657
01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:59,520
Speaker 6: and she campaigned as some sort of a moderate centerish

1658
01:36:00,120 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 6: yellow dog Democrat, and she turned out to be a lie.

1659
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:05,360
Speaker 6: She's turned out to be lying about the whole thing,

1660
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 6: and she's a radical leftist. And well, you got what

1661
01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 6: you voted for, Virginia. That's right, all right, Maria, thank

1662
01:36:14,320 --> 01:36:17,040
Speaker 6: you for that. Good it's a good point. She raises,

1663
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 6: By the way, have you seen, Dylan, did you see

1664
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,640
Speaker 6: the the new Trump presidential library renderings?

1665
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 8: Oh?

1666
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:26,240
Speaker 7: Yes, Wow, looks wonderful.

1667
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:33,400
Speaker 6: That's spectacular, spectacular, So whoopee. Goldberg is all upset, and

1668
01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 6: she says that the new presidential library proposed by President

1669
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:42,840
Speaker 6: Trump looks like a male appendage. I will say this.

1670
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:48,600
Speaker 6: It is huge. It is a huge skyscraper and it

1671
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:52,800
Speaker 6: is absolutely breathtaking. And we've got the video over on

1672

Speaker 6: our social media pages. I'd encourage you to go and

1673
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 6: check it out. Let us know what you think. I'm

01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 6: dropping presidential libraries in history, hands down, hands down. So

1676
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 6: this is going to be built in downtown Miami. There

1677
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 6: was there's about two and a half acres or so.

1678
01:37:14,920 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 6: That was donated to the President, and they're going to

1679
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 6: build this massive skyscraper and it's emblazoned with Trump's name,

1680
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:30,360
Speaker 6: a massive American flag. The Golden Escalator is going to

1681
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 6: be in this thing. Remember when Trump came down the

1682
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 6: Golden Escalator at at the Trump Tower there in New

1683
01:37:36,840 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 6: York City to announce he was running. That's going to

1684
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 6: be there, including an Air Force one. One of the

1685
01:37:42,840 --> 01:37:45,880
Speaker 6: Air Force ones is going to be located. They've got

1686
01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:48,800
Speaker 6: a full size replica of the Oval Office and the

1687
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:52,640
Speaker 6: Rose Garden and that ballroom that he's building where the

1688
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 6: East Wing once stood, and they're doing replicas of those

1689
01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 6: at what they're you know, at the at the Tower,

1690
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:02,280
Speaker 6: and this thing could very well be one of the

1691
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,880
Speaker 6: It reminded me of Freedom Tower in New York City

1692
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:08,200
Speaker 6: and has this huge spire on the top that's red,

1693
01:38:08,200 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 6: white and blue. I've never seen anything so patriotic and

1694
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 6: absolutely so beautiful. So Eric Trump announced this yesterday, says

1695
01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 6: Miami deserves this building. It will be a masterpiece the

1696
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,720
Speaker 6: likes of which have never been seen in Florida or

1697
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 6: really anywhere. And I will say this one of the

1698
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,760
Speaker 6: other things that they've got. This really set off the

1699
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 6: libs a giant golden statue of President Trump with his

1700
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 6: fist raised and that stands on the stage of the

1701
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:50,320
Speaker 6: of an auditorium. The tower's front entrance shows the bottom

1702
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 6: half of the statue. It's going to be so enraging

1703
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:59,680
Speaker 6: from the to the libtards. The Freedom Tower will be

1704
01:38:59,760 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 6: dwarf by the Library Tower, which would go up on

1705
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:06,720
Speaker 6: a parking lot that Governor DeSantis managed to get for

1706
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 6: the president. And it just it is just absolutely beautiful.

1707
01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 6: There's also a giant, I mean giant American flag hanging

1708
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 6: down from the center of the tower. I can't get

1709
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:26,919
Speaker 6: over the golden image of the president. That's brilliant. So anyway,

1710
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 6: a lot of people are really upset about this and

1711
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:32,240
Speaker 6: they're like, oh, how could the president do something like this?

1712
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 6: People are hurting, And you know what, every president has

1713
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 6: a library. And I just want to remind you of

1714
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 6: that god awful dystopian death star that bronc Usaint Obama

1715
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 6: is building in Chicago. I mean that thing. It looks

1716
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 6: like some sort of dystopian nightmare. And then you have

1717
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 6: this beautiful gold tower in downtown Miami that is all

1718
01:39:56,040 --> 01:40:00,200
Speaker 6: about America and nobody can figure out what Obama's doing.

1719
01:40:00,280 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 6: I mean it's hideous, Dylan. Have you seen the Obama Library?

1720
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 7: Yeah? Does it even have windows? I don't. It doesn't

1721
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:08,800
Speaker 7: look like it does.

1722
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 6: You know what, I would be afraid to go in

1723
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 6: because I mean I'll be able to get out. That

1724
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:13,880
Speaker 6: would be my concern there.

1725
01:40:13,960 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1726
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 6: Well, one of the things I love about Trump's library

1727
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 6: is it's transparent. So with all the windows, you can

1728
01:40:20,120 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 6: see right through it.

1729
01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 7: It's almost the complete opposite actually of the exactly exactly.

1730
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 6: So I you know, all these architects, they're gonna be

1731
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 6: pooh pooing it. You know, there are already. The New

1732
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 6: York Times did this big hit piece on President Trump's

1733
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:38,839
Speaker 6: East Wing expansion of the ballroom. The roof is pitched

1734
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 6: too high, by the way. One of the complaints they

1735
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 6: had where there were fake windows you can't even see,

1736
01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 6: how how uncouth. Well it turned out that was the bathroom.

1737
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 6: That's why you can. You don't want to you don't

1738
01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:57,360
Speaker 6: want to be peeping in and watching people, you know,

1739
01:40:57,479 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 6: using the bathroom. These people. So anyway, well done to you,

1740
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,759
Speaker 6: mister president. They're gonna have to raise a lot of money,

1741
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 6: and I think they're gonna be able to They're not

1742
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 6: gonna have any problem with it. I would go. I

1743
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 6: want to be there. And I'm telling you that is

1744
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 6: going to be a destination vacation for American citizens.

1745
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 8: You know what.

1746
01:41:19,520 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 6: We made to do a road trip down there once

1747
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 6: they get that thing built. And I've been to some

1748
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 6: presidential libraries. Look, i thought Ronald Reagan's was spectacular. I've

1749
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 6: heard that Richard Nixon's is just really incredible out in California.

1750
01:41:34,280 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 6: Went to George W's at Southern Methodist and was, okay it,

1751
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 6: it's all right. That's where I got my hat. By

1752
01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:44,839
Speaker 6: the way, my cowboy hat. It was nice.

1753
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,320
Speaker 7: Nice. This is where you learned how to rodeo?

1754
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 6: Huh, well, I think the stor clerk was trying to

1755
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 6: rodeo me. She was selling me everything in that store.

1756
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:55,840
Speaker 6: She was like, miss Texas, So.

1757
01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 7: You can't just get the hat, you also have to

1758
01:41:57,120 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 7: get the boots and.

1759
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:03,280
Speaker 6: Oh the hold one yards. Yeah, a partner who cowboys start.

1760
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,040
Speaker 6: That was a lot of fun. That was a great

1761
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 6: trip actually, But I'm just telling you right now, I mean,

1762
01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:11,840
Speaker 6: when you think about presidential libraries, would you rather go

1763
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 6: to the Death Star in Chicago or down to Miami

1764
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,639
Speaker 6: I'm thinking, I'm thinking Miami, my friends. All right, nine

1765
01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:21,040
Speaker 6: oh one two six zero five, nine two six our

1766
01:42:21,080 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 6: telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero five

1767
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 6: to nine to six. So we had a congress Woman,

1768
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 6: Diana Harshbarger. She's from East Tennessee. She hopped on our

1769
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:35,680
Speaker 6: NEWSMAC show last night. She's really fired up over the

1770
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:37,599
Speaker 6: Senate and I want you to hear what she had

1771
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 6: to say. All right, joining me now, congress Woman and

1772
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 6: Diana Harshbarger, or Republican from Tennessee. Congress Woman, good to

1773
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:44,240
Speaker 6: see you.

1774
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:44,439
Speaker 17: You know.

1775
01:42:44,520 --> 01:42:46,800
Speaker 6: One of the things that really bothered me, and maybe

1776
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 6: you can help me understand why I was bothered people

1777
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 6: standing in long lines, and yet we saw members of

1778
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 6: the US Senate being escorted around those lines. They had

1779
01:42:57,680 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 6: I guess exclusive access that the rest of us don't have.

1780
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:03,519
Speaker 5: That really sort of set me off.

1781
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 18: Congresswoman, well, it was set me up too. I've never

1782
01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,320
Speaker 18: done that, Todd. You know, I drive back and forth

1783
01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:12,720
Speaker 18: from me Tennessee to d C. But you know, it's

1784
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 18: funny you mentioned that because there is a bill in

1785
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:17,360
Speaker 18: the Senate and they want me to carry it in

1786
01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:19,240
Speaker 18: the House that says you.

1787
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 13: Can't jump line.

1788
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 18: If you're a congress person, you got to wait in

1789
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:23,719
Speaker 18: line just like everybody else.

1790
01:43:23,840 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 13: So I guess we're going to fix that problem right now.

1791
01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,160
Speaker 6: I know there have been some of your colleagues in Tennessee,

1792
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 6: Congressman John Rose, also a Congressman Tim Burchett, that are

1793
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:37,479
Speaker 6: calling for John Thune to be replaced as Senate leader.

1794
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:39,920
Speaker 5: Curious what you think about that.

1795
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 13: Well, you got to lead to be a leader.

1796
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,720
Speaker 18: And right now, what they sent over in the dead

1797
01:43:45,760 --> 01:43:50,000
Speaker 18: to night was putting zero dollars toward Department of Home

1798
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 18: Life Security, zero dollars for us. They must have thought

1799
01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 18: we weren't going to read the bill. And I'm glad

1800
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 18: that Speaker Johnson got a righteous anger and said, you're

1801
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:02,000
Speaker 18: not going to stuff this crap build down our throat.

1802
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,760
Speaker 18: We're going to work to send back full funding, as

1803
01:44:04,800 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 18: we've done three different times. Send it back to the Senate.

1804
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 18: Now the ball's in their court. They're going to have

1805
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 18: to do something.

1806
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 13: Good, and I don't get it.

1807
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:14,679
Speaker 18: You know that they were on the floor at two am,

1808
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 18: five people doing unanimous consent. But from some of the

1809
01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 18: clips I've seen, after they did that, they headed to

1810
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 18: the airport so they must have thought they had pulled

1811
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:25,760
Speaker 18: on over on us.

1812
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 6: Todd, it's a fair observation to make. Meanwhile, the Save Act,

1813
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 6: you know what's interesting, or Save America Act, what's interesting

1814
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:33,240
Speaker 6: about Tennessee?

1815
01:44:33,320 --> 01:44:34,000
Speaker 5: For example?

1816
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 6: We have to show some form of identification when we

1817
01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:41,200
Speaker 6: go to vote, and Tennessee has one of the least

1818
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:45,519
Speaker 6: problems among stage with voter fraud. How important is it

1819
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:48,400
Speaker 6: that that we get this across the finish line.

1820
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:52,200
Speaker 18: Well, if you ask the average American, they think it's

1821
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:53,120
Speaker 18: crazy that we.

1822
01:44:53,080 --> 01:44:55,280
Speaker 13: Don't have to show an ID to vote.

1823
01:44:55,320 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 18: If you have to show an ID to get on

1824
01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,600
Speaker 18: a plane, if you have to show an ID to

1825
01:44:59,640 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 18: do in anything, why wouldn't you have to show one

1826
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:05,639
Speaker 18: to vote? And this is how the Democrats have cheated

1827
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 18: time after time.

1828
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,439
Speaker 13: You don't have to show a voter idea or proof

1829
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 13: of citizenship.

1830
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 18: And there's a lot more in the Save Act and

1831
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 18: in the Save America Act. They just put those two requirements,

1832
01:45:17,040 --> 01:45:21,000
Speaker 18: which are very common sense requirements. But we need to

1833
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:23,600
Speaker 18: do that, and we wanted to attach at least the

1834
01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,240
Speaker 18: voter ID to what we sent over to the Senate.

1835
01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 18: But they send us such a sorry bill back that

1836
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,599
Speaker 18: we're going to do that when we send something else

1837
01:45:32,640 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 18: over and we're trying to see if we can get

1838
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:40,280
Speaker 18: that through a second reconciliation. If they're parliamentarium that's tripped

1839
01:45:40,320 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 18: out like she did most everything last time, I fire

1840
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 18: her before on fire through, and didn't I fire him.

1841
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 6: I want to switch real quick here to the conflict

1842
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 6: in Iran. The President now threatening to quote obliterate Iran's

1843
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:56,520
Speaker 6: power plans to ron is saying the US plan is unrealistic.

1844
01:45:56,960 --> 01:45:58,479
Speaker 6: What do you say and what do you hearing from

1845
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 6: your constituents about the war?

1846
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:04,280
Speaker 18: Well, the ones that have contacted me are saying, you

1847
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,040
Speaker 18: better stay until the job's done, finish it up, and

1848
01:46:07,080 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 18: do whatever you've got to do. And you know, there's

1849
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 18: a mixed mixed concerns about whether we go ahead and

1850
01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 18: do that. Some people want boots on the ground, some don't.

1851
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:21,960
Speaker 18: But look, these people have tormented us for over fifty

1852
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 18: years and nobody's lifted a finger to do anything about it.

1853
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,720
Speaker 18: Now they're attacking their neighboring states and they want us

1854
01:46:28,720 --> 01:46:31,680
Speaker 18: to go. They're going to pull together. And so all

1855
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:33,760
Speaker 18: I can tell you is people that I talk to

1856
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,800
Speaker 18: want them to scour the earth with them. Do it,

1857
01:46:37,080 --> 01:46:39,599
Speaker 18: get it done once and for all before you come

1858
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:40,080
Speaker 18: back home.

1859
01:46:51,560 --> 01:46:54,760
Speaker 6: All right, Welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Sterns

1860
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:59,400
Speaker 6: Radio Show. So a lot of Republican lawmakers now calling

1861
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 6: for some John Thune to stump aside. We're keeping an

1862
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:05,920
Speaker 6: eye on this, folks going it's not going to happen.

1863
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:07,400
Speaker 6: It's just not going to happen.

1864
01:47:07,439 --> 01:47:07,759
Speaker 5: Anyway.

1865
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:10,639
Speaker 6: We had a chance to talk to Congressman a Buddy

1866
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 6: Carter from Georgia now running for the Senate. Let's take

1867
01:47:14,600 --> 01:47:18,320
Speaker 6: a listen, I mean now to discuss Congressman Buddy Carter

1868
01:47:18,560 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 6: from Georgia. Congressman, good to have you with us. Clearly

1869
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:25,519
Speaker 6: the House and the Senate are not on the same

1870
01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:28,599
Speaker 6: page here. What's your take on what we've seen happen

1871
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:29,920
Speaker 6: over the past several days.

1872
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:31,360
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, in the.

1873
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 23: Early morning hours Friday, the Senate tried to jam us

1874
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 23: and they sent over a bill that was unacceptable and

1875
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:41,080
Speaker 23: then left town. Well, we did our job for the

1876
01:47:41,160 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 23: fourth time. We passed funding for Department of Homeland Security,

1877
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,720
Speaker 23: and we passed it through a continuing resolution to get

1878
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:51,440
Speaker 23: us through the next short period of time. And we've

1879
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 23: got to get this done now. This is something that's

1880
01:47:54,200 --> 01:47:58,080
Speaker 23: very important for the safety of Americans. Keep in mind

1881
01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:01,519
Speaker 23: that the number one responsibility of the federal government is

1882
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:04,559
Speaker 23: protect our homeland, protect our citizens. We can only do

1883
01:48:04,640 --> 01:48:07,719
Speaker 23: that with a strong defense and with a strong Department

1884
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 23: of Homeland Security.

1885
01:48:09,120 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 13: When TSA is.

1886
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 23: Not getting paid, when ICE is not getting paid, you know,

1887
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 23: these our people who are under tremendous strain. TSA is

1888
01:48:17,240 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 23: already under under a lot of stress, and to add

1889
01:48:20,320 --> 01:48:22,720
Speaker 23: more stress to it when you're not getting paid for

1890
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 23: the work you're doing, that's unfair. It's not only unfair,

1891
01:48:25,960 --> 01:48:28,800
Speaker 23: but it's dangerous. When you have that much stress, you're

1892
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 23: susceptible to making more mistakes that normally you wouldn't make.

1893
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:38,559
Speaker 23: And again, this is the Senate Democrats who are holding

1894
01:48:38,640 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 23: up funding for a vital service that we need now,

1895
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 23: perhaps more than ever with.

1896
01:48:44,200 --> 01:48:46,200
Speaker 13: The conflict in Iran.

1897
01:48:46,680 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 23: We need to make sure that we are guarding against

1898
01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 23: terrorist attacks. Yet John Assoff and the Senate Democrats are

1899
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:57,240
Speaker 23: putting illegal immigrants in terras above the safety of the

1900
01:48:57,280 --> 01:48:58,120
Speaker 23: American people.

1901
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:02,840
Speaker 6: So we've got several Republicans over on the House side

1902
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 6: saying it's time for new leadership in the Senate. Would

1903
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 6: you be one of those people. Do you believe it's

1904
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 6: time for Thune to step aside?

1905
01:49:09,439 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 23: Well, that's really not for me to say. They got

1906
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 23: to work out their own problems over there, and I

1907
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 23: hope to be over there next year, and I plan

1908
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:19,559
Speaker 23: to be over there next year as a Senator from

1909
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 23: the state of Georgia, and then I'll have the opportunity

1910
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:26,000
Speaker 23: to address that. But right now, I know that we've

1911
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,640
Speaker 23: got to get on the same page, and we've got

1912
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:30,720
Speaker 23: to get Department of Homeland Security. We've got to get

1913
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,600
Speaker 23: them appropriated and funded so that they can continue to

1914
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,919
Speaker 23: do their job and protect Americans and protect the safety

1915
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 23: of Americans. We were fighting against the wrong people here.

1916
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:43,200
Speaker 23: We need to be fighting against the Democrats, the Democrats

1917
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 23: like John Ausoff and those who have voted against funding DHS.

1918
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 6: All right, but I got to interrupt here, mister Congressman.

1919
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 6: But you're dodging me, and I don't want you to dodge.

1920
01:49:53,560 --> 01:49:55,759
Speaker 6: I mean, you've been on the program many times before.

1921
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 6: You're a straight shooter. The problem here is not just

1922
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:04,120
Speaker 6: the Democrats, it's also the guy in charge the leadership,

1923
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 6: and that guy is John Thune. So why not come

1924
01:50:06,960 --> 01:50:08,880
Speaker 6: out and say whether or not the guy deserves to

1925
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:09,760
Speaker 6: be in leadership.

1926
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,960
Speaker 23: Well, again, I can only control what I can control

1927
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 23: in the House, and I control my vote, and we

1928
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:19,559
Speaker 23: have voted four times to fund Department Homeland Security. But

1929
01:50:19,600 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 23: the Senate they need to do away with the filibuster.

1930
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:23,639
Speaker 23: I will tell you that they need to do away

1931
01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:26,919
Speaker 23: with the filibuster. They need to get the entire Department

1932
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 23: of Homeland Security funded. It all needs to be funded,

1933
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:32,959
Speaker 23: not just part of it. I agree with the President.

1934
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:36,479
Speaker 23: It's any bill that funds only part of it, a

1935
01:50:36,560 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 23: part of a public safety component is not a good bill.

1936
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 23: And this is something that has to get done. And

1937
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:46,080
Speaker 23: we need to have all of Department Homeland Security funded

1938
01:50:46,400 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 23: so that we can protect our citizens.

1939
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,000
Speaker 6: Well, let's talk about the same of America Act. Your

1940
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 6: party again holding that up in the Senate. Eighty percent

1941
01:50:54,360 --> 01:50:57,280
Speaker 6: of Americans and that includes a lot of Democrats, think

1942
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 6: that voters should have to show an ID to vote.

1943
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:03,440
Speaker 6: But again, I get it, Democrats, you know they refuse

1944
01:51:04,040 --> 01:51:08,160
Speaker 6: to do anything about this, as well as the majority

1945
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:09,280
Speaker 6: leader in the Senate.

1946
01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 5: How do we get past that big hurdle.

1947
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 23: Well, again, this is where the filibuster is a problem,

1948
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,200
Speaker 23: and they need to at least do a Tolkien fill

1949
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:18,960
Speaker 23: of the buster so that we can make the Democrats

1950
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 23: at least earn what they're doing now, and that is

1951
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:25,840
Speaker 23: blocking something that eighty percent of Americans want. And this

1952
01:51:25,880 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 23: is typical of John Alsoft and the Democrats who are

1953
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 23: blocking something that eighty percent of American citizens want, and

1954
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:35,599
Speaker 23: that is to have a photo ID when you vote.

1955
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:37,280
Speaker 13: You have to have a photo ID for.

1956
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 23: Almost anything anymore. And get on an airplane to go

1957
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:42,920
Speaker 23: to a rally for John Ossoft, you have to have

1958
01:51:42,960 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 23: a photo ID. Toshovel snow in New York City, you

1959
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 23: got to have an ID. All of these things. It's

1960
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 23: just ludicrous to think that they could put illegal immigrants

1961
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:54,120
Speaker 23: and terrorists in.

1962
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 13: Front of the safety of the American citizens.

1963
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 23: The right to vote is one of the most precious

1964
01:51:59,080 --> 01:52:01,799
Speaker 23: rights that we have in the country. We have veterans

1965
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:05,040
Speaker 23: who have sacrificed and served in order to defend that right.

1966
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:08,040
Speaker 23: And for this Senate not to pass that, for the

1967
01:52:08,080 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 23: Senate Democrats to block it, this is something they're going

1968
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 23: to be held accountable for come November.

1969
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:14,599
Speaker 13: We can make sure that.

1970
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:17,680
Speaker 6: All right, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, hey

1971
