00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

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

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: That's that's.

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 3: American.

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 4: Todd starts, well, yeah, oh, there was a lady bug

6
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 4: crawling on the micro Hello, everybody, Welcome to the Tom

7
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: Stearns Radio Show. Dylan, I don't want to have a

8
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,639
Speaker 4: Mike Pence moment on the national radio program where we've

9
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: got some big critter just hanging out on my head.

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 5: You and have never known.

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 4: That's terrible. I'm like, why why is my microphone moving? Hello?

12
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 4: Everybody walk into the Tom Stars Radio Show. I guess

13
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 4: I should explain here. So it's super warm in Memphis,

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 4: and whenever that happened, we get these what is it

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 4: a lady bug infestation.

16
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 5: It's like a mix of a ladybug and something else,

17
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 5: but mostly ladybugs.

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're very docile creatures, but they're all over the place. Yes, there,

19
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: and we've got the We have our good friends James

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: past Management, who are great friends of the KWAM or

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 4: flagship station, and they're here right now at this moment

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: hosing down the entire building. So hopefully we can get

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 4: rid of the ladybugs or whatever they are. They're hybrids.

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 5: Is that I don't know that. You know, ladybugs are

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 5: supposed to be like red and black. These are like orange.

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: Well they're Tennessee. Yeah, they're Tennessee ladybugs. The orange. Yeah,

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: they are the official, the official ladybugs of Tennessee. Great

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: week has been and it's it's been a roller coaster

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: of a week, but I think a lot of people

32
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: are just still so excited about President Trump's State of

33
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: the Union address and really giving the Republicans in the House,

34
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 4: in the Senate, and at the state level as well

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: the send off they needed to go out there and

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: win these elections. And the President this two hour speech.

37
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 4: And we're going to talk to Senator Marshall Blackburn that

38
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: she is in town and drop by. Earlier today we

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: did a pre taped interview and you're going to hear

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: her talking about the importance of what the President said

41
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: and the President really setting the agenda leading up into

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: the midterm elections. So anyway, our telephone number on this

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 4: open line Friday and this is the day you can

Speaker 4: nine two six. That's nine oh one two six zero five,

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 4: nine two six. Also, we're excited to have the Deputy

49
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: Secretary of the US Department of Agriculture, Stephen Vaden, is

50
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: going to be with us in studio. Is there's a

51
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: lot going on in Memphis this weekend, and we have

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: a lot of farmers from all across America. I believe

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 4: it's the farm in Gin convention down at the down

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: at the convention Center. I don't think, no, it's not

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: that kind of Gin Dylan that sense, that's down the road.

56
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 4: It old dominates the brew house there. So anyway, we're

57
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: going to be talking with him as well. You know,

58
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: the starting point today is this situation between the Republican

59
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: Party and Conservatives and Evangelical Christians and the Nation of Israel.

60
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: And I just have some questions for you ladies and gentlemen,

61
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: because I want to gauge where our audience actually stands

62
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: on this particular issue. Because right now you have a

63
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: number of very powerful social media influencers, people like Megan

64
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 4: Kelly and Tucker Carlson and Candice O. Ones, and they

65
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 4: are they are really spreading a lot of anti Israel propaganda,

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: and they're out there saying that we should not be

67
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 4: supporting the nation of Israel, that we should not be

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: giving them any of our tax dollars. They're making all

69
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: sorts of accusations, and they frame it in such a

70
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 4: way as you know, we're just asking questions here, y'all.

71
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: We're just asking questions. Benjamin, Now, who is he like Hitler?

72
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: We're just asking questions, that's all.

73
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 6: We're just asking questions.

74
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: Well, I got some questions on my own for these people.

75
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 4: And it seems as though Tucker and Megan and Candace

76
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 4: are intentionally trying to divide and create a civil war,

77
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 4: create a conflict within the Republican Party. So you're going

78
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: to hear some interesting conversations from Tucker and others about

79
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: what's about the relationship that we have with Israel. You know,

80
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: Tucker Carlson going at it with Governor Mike Kakabee with

81
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: Ted Cruz and the idea now that Mike Kakaby is

82
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: a bad person, and that's that's the allegation of you

83
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: got people coming out Tucker Carlson wanting to lecture Mike

84
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 4: Kackabee on theology. You know, a lot of people may

85
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: not remember this, but the truth of the matter is

86
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 4: that Mike Kakabe is actually a theologian. He went to seminary,

87
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: he studied to become a pastor. As a matter of fact,

88
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: he was a Southern Baptist pastor for many years before

89
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 4: he decided to jump into politics. So if we're going

90
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: to have a theological discussion between you and me, and

91
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: my choices are Tucker Carlson and Mike Kakabee. Yeah, I'm

92
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: going to trust what Mike Kakabee has to say. But

93
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: ever since I was a little boy growing up in

94
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 4: you know, the Southern Baptist church that I went to,

95
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: we were always taught to respect the nation of Israel,

96
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 4: and this was part of our teaching. And now you've

97
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: got folks like Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens and Megan

98
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: Kelly that are coming out there and are seemingly suggesting

99
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 4: that all of the things that we learned in church

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 4: over the years it's wrong, that we've got it all wrong,

101
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: that Israel has no special place in the scripture, Israel

102
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: has no special relationship with the United States. And if

103
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 4: you believe what the left is trying to tell us,

104
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: and they are the left, if you believe what they're

105
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: telling us that Israel is responsible for every single problem

106
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 4: in this country. That's what they're trying to tell us.

107
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 4: And I'm wondering if you agree or disagree with that premise.

108
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: So here's Tucker dropping a bombshell. Take a listen.

109
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 7: Everybody knows the only reason we're having this war is

110
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 7: because Israel wants it. This is their last chance. They

111
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 7: believe this presidency is the last president. And see where

112
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 7: they're going to have unequivocal bipartisan support period. You can't

113
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 7: primary every Thomas Massey, and there's a whole army of

114
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 7: him coming at some point because everyone can see what's

115
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 7: going on. And you can shut down X and you

116
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 7: can shut down the Internet. You can be like Great

117
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 7: Britain and arrest people who protest Israel, but attitudes are

118
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 7: not going to revert to what they were five years ago. Sorry,

119
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 7: and they know this, so this is their last chance.

120
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 7: What's so amazing is that Israel, which at least is

121
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 7: acting in what it perceives to be its own national

122
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 7: interest is joined by its shills in the United States,

123
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 7: of course, but really it's only other ally in this

124
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 7: is the American news media, whose job it is to

125
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 7: tell you the truth and inform you to what's happening,

126
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 7: to tell you, hey, wake up, the world could be

127
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 7: changing and it's going to affect you and your family.

128
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 7: That's their job, and instead they've been lulling you to

129
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 7: sleep with the same variety of transparent lies and proper.

130
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 4: So, now Tucker Carlson is saying, if any of you

131
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 4: are American citizens and you consider yourselves to be patriots

132
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 4: and you support Israel, you're nothing more than a shill

133
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: for the nation of Israel, you know. And I think

134
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: this does need to be addressed by somebody. Exactly when

135
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: did Tucker Carlson change his position on the nation of Israel.

136
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: And I think it is incumbent upon Tucker and Candice

137
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: and Megan Kelly to explain their evolution here. And also

138
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: I would be very curious to know if they are

139
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: receiving if their organizations are receiving any funding from I

140
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 4: don't know, say, Arab countries that might benefit from the

141
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 4: United States of America again detaching itself from the nation

142
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: of Israel. Now we will have some folks call in.

143
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 4: I have no doubt about this. Who are theologians who

144
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 4: are experts on the end of days? The Book of Revelation,

145
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: And there's been a lot said in prophecy. And again

146
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: I'm sort of tiptoeing here because this is not my

147
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: realm of study. There are many of you are engrossed

148
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 4: in this, and you're probably don't want to call in

149
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: and set me straight here, but there are the reporting

150
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: I have from the Book of Revelation is that the

151
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: end of days, before the rapture occurs, that all of

152
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: the nations of the world will turn against Israel. And

153
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: I remember growing up as a little kid, and I'm like, well,

154
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: that's impossible. The United States is always going to be

155
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 4: a by Israel side. But now when you see this

156
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 4: sort of rhetoric, and I am telling you that a

157
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: lot of young conservatives and a lot of young Republicans

158
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: especially are buying into all of this, that the Jews

159
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 4: are responsible for all of the problems in our country

160
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 4: that I I see now where this could very well

161
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: be an issue, and it could be a problem, and

162
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 4: it could be at the you know, as Tucker said

163
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: in the interview, he actually said that Donald Trump will

164
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 4: be the last pro Israel president. So if we cut

165
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 4: ties with Israel, what happens? What happens? Then? What happens

166
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: in a lot of people in the evangelical Christian world

167
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: are saying, well, if we do not support Israel, we

168
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: will not be blessed by God. Do you buy into

169
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 4: that argument anyway? President Trump, of course, has been enraged

170
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: over what's been happening in Iran. And we've seen just

171
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: hundreds and hundreds of protesters, some say thousands that have

172
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 4: been slaughtered in the streets because they're fighting for their freedom.

173
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: And Tucker actually actually questioned if that's actually real.

174
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 7: Take a listen, there's been you know, theo oh, we

175
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 7: feel bad for the billion Iranians murdered in the streets

176
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 7: of Tehran or some whatever, who knows what the number is.

177
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 8: A very sad situation, But thirty two thousand people were

178
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 8: killed over a relatively short period of time.

179
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 7: You can't believe any number connected to any conflict in

180
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 7: any country ever, because everyone lies about them all the time.

181
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 7: But some number of Iranians protesting the Iranian government apparently

182
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 7: were killed by the government. But now I feel very

183
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 7: badly for the people of Iran. Some number of Iranians

184
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 7: protesting the Iranian government apparently were killed by the government.

185
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: So now he's calling in that into question as if

186
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 4: it's not a big deal. And of course all of

187
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 4: this is centered in a whow whether or not we

188
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,359
Speaker 4: should preemptively strike Iran to take out their nuclear program.

189
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: And I believe that we should. And here's the reason

190
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: why I don't want to see a mushroom cloud over

191
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 4: any American city. I just don't, and I don't want

192
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 4: to see a mushroom cloud over the nation of his

193
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: And that's exactly what the Iranians, these malahs, these radical

194
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: Islamists are hoping will happen. Heck, they might even try

195
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: to launch nukes at both of us. But Tucker doesn't

196
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: seem to think that's a problem, because according to Tucker,

197
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 4: it's the Muslims who are the peaceful people. It's all

198
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: of us Christians and Jews We're apparently the problem here.

199
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 7: Got number three, Chuck Schumer is every bit as much

200
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 7: in favor of an invasion of Iran, a regime change

201
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 7: war in Iran, as I don't know, pick a brain

202
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 7: dead Republican senator, which is almost all of them. They're

203
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 7: all for it, and so are all the Democrats. You

204
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 7: don't see Alexandria Kuzuo Cortiz making a real case again.

205
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 7: She's like a pro forma case because she knows that

206
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 7: all of our constituents hate it. But is she really

207
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 7: working to stop us. Of course not, because they're all

208
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 7: for it, because they're paid to be for it, and

209
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 7: so are the media. So here's here's a quick cross section.

210
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 7: Now it goes to that saying that the Wall Street Journal,

211
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: owned by the Murdoch family, has been by far the

212
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 7: most egregious and the most stealthy starting new regime change

213
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 7: wars on behalf of Israel is like the whole reason

214
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 7: to have the Wall Street Journal now apparently.

215
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so he's saying that all the Republicans and

216
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: all the Democrats and the Wall Street Journal, all the

217
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 4: conservative media we are apparently owned by Israel. I can

218
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: tell you that that is patently false when it comes

219
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 4: to what we do here. Our opinion is not influenced

220
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: by anybody or anything period. So it goes back to

221
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: sort of rewriting what happened on nine to eleven, and

222
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 4: you watch, you watch how this narrative is going to

223
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: switch quickly because this crowd will turn around and try

224
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: to blame nine to eleven on the Jews. So this

225
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: is how the works. Everything that's happened in this country,

226
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 4: everything that's happened wrong in the world, they're going to

227
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: blame the Jews. Isn't it an amazing There's this tiny

228
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: sliver of land they have over there, and yet they're

229
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: not even allowed to keep that. And you've got people

230
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 4: who made their millions of dollars on the backs of conservatives,

231
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 4: and now they're using that money to try and destroy

232
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: the nation of Israel. That's what this is really all about.

233
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: All right, we've got to take a break here. Nine

234
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six. Do

235
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: you agree with with Tucker Carlson here, folks, that we

236
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: need to sever our relationship with Israel and that all

237
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: of you folks that support Israel are nothing more than shills.

238
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

239
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: Our telephone number, that's nine oh one two six zero

240
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: five nine two six. This is the Todd Sterns Show.

241
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: Israel is a hot topic, right now so many opinions

242
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: and emotions surrounding it, and it can and feel hard

243
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: to know where to start. Well, the Bible tells us,

244
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: I will bless those who bless you. That is not

245
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 4: just a comforting promise, it's a clear calling from God,

246
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 4: and today, with anti Semitism rising around the world, that

247
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 4: calling is more urgent than ever. At a time when

248
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 4: Jewish communities are facing more hostility, more threats, and more violence,

249
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 4: Christians have a powerful opportunity to respond with God's love

250
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: to say you are not alone. When Christians choose to

251
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: bless Israel, we're not entering a political issue. We're honoring

252
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 4: the root of our faith and standing against hatred. Supporting

253
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 4: Israel is more than a belief, it's a biblical mandate.

254
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: And by partnering with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,

255
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 4: you can push back against the darkness and be a

256
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: light to God's people. Learn how you can bless Israel

260
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: Todd Sterns Radio Show. You know we've been doing the

261
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: weight loss thing. We're at twelve pounds now, which I'm

262
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 4: very excited about now that I'm back not on the road.

263
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: You know, it's really hard to stay on the diet

264
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 4: when you're in places like Texas, and you're the good

265
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: people at Patriot Talk nine to twenty are taking them

266
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: out to every TEXAMX restaurant in town. But now that

267
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 4: I'm back in Memphis, it's going to be just putting

268
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 4: the pedal to the metal on this weight loss campaign.

269
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: And we've just really been having some great success with it,

270
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 4: and a lot of it has to do with PhD

271
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: weight loss, and I want to tell you guys about

272
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 4: what they're doing for me, because I know some of

273
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 4: you have tried keto, you've tried weight watchers or the

274
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: intermittent fasting. Some of you actually do that as well.

275
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: So you lose the wait right, but then it comes

276
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 4: right back, and you know how that is. You blame yourself.

277
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: You know, you're like, I wish I had more willpower

278
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 4: or discipline. But here's the deal. It never really is

279
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 4: about willpower. There's one thing that determines whether your body

280
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 4: burns fat or stores it. And if you don't fix

281
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 4: that first, then every diet you try is going to fail.

282
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm trying out PhD Weight Loss and

283
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 4: I want you to try them out as well. I

284
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 4: want you to write down this telephone, n'ber grab something

285
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 4: and to write this down eight six y four six

286
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 4: four four nineteen hundred. I'll repeat that again in just

287
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: a moment. But at PhD Weight Loss, they've identified the

288
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: one thing and they built a plan that works with

289
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: your body and not against it. So if you call now,

290
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 4: they're going to give you two free weeks in the program.

291
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 4: They're going to pay for your food, pay for everything

292
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 4: so you can actually see real results without trial and error.

293
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 4: So I mean, folks, two free weeks. You got it.

294
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 4: It's working for me, and I have if it can

295
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: work for me, trust me, I know my way around

296
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 4: a barbecue joint. So if it's working for me, it's

297
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: going to work for you. So if you're if you're

298
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 4: done with the yo yo dieting and you really want

299
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: clarity and you want to start looking good for spring

300
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 4: and then the summer, I want you to give PhD

313
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 4: miles a day, and looking forward to getting a little

314
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 4: slimmer as we get ready for the summer months. All right,

Speaker 4: guys right back out onto the streets. We're going to

Speaker 4: tell you all about that coming up next.

322
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: In this new movie The Dragons Prophecy, Danesh de Susa

323

324
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: of perseverance, faith and has shared global destiny.

325
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 6: Could the fate of the world of humanity itself be

326
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: somehow tied to this place?

327
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 9: But long last, we have peace in the Middle East.

328
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,959
Speaker 8: Israel and Christian are coming together in a way they

329
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 8: have never been before since the Book of Acts.

330
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: But is this the end of a mess and radical Islam?

331
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 4: What does the Bible say?

332
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 8: We have to become fighters in the spirit for God.

333
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 8: We don't accept what the enemy wants to do with

334
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 8: our culture. We don't accept what he wants to do

335
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 8: with the nation. If we keep fighting, we win to God.

336
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: Powerful Prophetic, a must see movie based on Jonathan Kahn's

337
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: international bestseller The Dragons Prophecy combines history and scripture.

Speaker 1: De Susa, now elevata on Amazon, YouTube and iTunes.

341
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: God Well, it is always a pleasure to have Senator

342
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 4: Marsha Blackburn in studio. You see her all over the

343
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 4: cable news channels and but where we love doing radio

344
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 4: because we get to hang out a little bit longer.

345
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: And you know how it is, Senator with the the

346
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: TV stuff, And that's what Hannity was talking about this.

347
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: You know, he always hates having to cut everybody off,

348
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: but we only have a certain amount of time. But

349
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: with radio we can be a bit more relaxed.

350
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 6: Well, that is so true.

351
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 2: You can get the full story when you're doing radio,

352
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: and many times you've got a three five seven minute

353
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: segment on TV, so you can give the highlights and

354
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: not the details. And you know, I think that's why

355
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: so many people are doing streaming and radio shows are

356
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: turning into podcasts and some of the innovative things that

357
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: you're doing, because people want more of the detail and

358
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 2: more of the facts.

359
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: And I think that's a good thing for them. I

360
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: think it's a healthy thing. You know, the Fourth Estate

361
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 4: has been in such disrepair for so long. It's nice

362
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 4: to know that, you know, there are citizen journalists out there,

363
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 4: and I think that's what our founding fathers were looking for,

364
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 4: is people shining light on the big problems of the country.

365
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and so many of these are what I say,

366
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: where the rubber meets the road there at your local

367
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: level and the fact that people have the opportunity to

368
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: get that information and then bring that information forward. So

369
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: if it is bubbling up at the local level, you

370
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: make state and federal officials aware of where the problems are.

371
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: And you know, we saw that with the Minnesota fraud case.

372
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: The state electeds had tried to get everybody to be

373
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: aware of this, but it really popped when an independent

374
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: journalist knocked on the door of the Leering Center and

375
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: found out there were no children that were there.

376
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 4: Imagine that. Yeah, it was a citizen journalist who who

377
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: did all of that, that's right, did the work that

378
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 4: the professional journalist, you know, either were you know, ignorant

379
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 4: about or they're just they just you know, completely overlooked it.

380
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 4: This was your last State of the Union address as

381
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 4: a senator, and it was a doozy what a great.

382
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: Speak, I'm telling you. Two hours flew by, and I

383
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: thought that the President did a fabulous job. The way

384
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: he just continued to talk, even with all the leftists

385
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: sitting over there and yelling at him and their conduct

386
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 2: was appalling, but he just kept right on rolling. And

387
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: I loved the fact that he said, stand if you

388
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 2: believe your job is to protect the citizens of the

389
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 2: United States rather than protect illegal aliens. And they sat

390
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: and you want to say, look, people, we all take

391
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 2: an oath, and that oath is that we will uphold

392
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: and support the Constitution of the United States and defend

393
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: our nation against all adversaries, foreign and domestic. Well, defending

394
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: the right to vote, defending our citizenship is one of

395
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: our duties. And they would not even stand for that.

396
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: They wouldn't stand for family members that had lost loved ones,

397
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: They wouldn't stand for those that had served our country.

398
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: They finally stood up for the hockey team. But that

399
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 2: took them a little while. I mean, the fact that

400
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: they would not stand and honor the constitution, honor their oath,

401
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 2: and honor people who have served our nation or have

402
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: lost loved ones was a standing. And I've got to

403
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: tell you, Todd, I think that's going to be that

404
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: moment is going to be a pivotal moment in the

405
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: elections that are coming up. Do you stand for this

406
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 2: nation or are you for illegal immigration? In letting anybody

407
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: in the country on election day, whether they're a tourist

408
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: or have a visa or whatever, go to the polls vote,

409
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: whether they're legal or not whether they're a citizen or not.

410
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: It was really a masterclass and delivering a speech that

411
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 4: the humor, and that's one thing people don't get, you know,

412
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 4: if you spend time with the President, you understand he's

413
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 4: got a wicked sense of humor, very much the self deprecating,

414
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 4: you know, comments coming out. It was hilarious, and you're right,

415
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: it just it was two hours, but it just flew by.

416
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: Yes it did. And I thought he played it just perfectly.

417
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: It was a master class.

418
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 9: You know.

419
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 4: When you see the reaction from the hockey, from the

420
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: hockey team US men's hockey, I think it really does

421
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 4: define the moment we're at in the country right now here.

422
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 4: You know, here in the Memphis area. I live in Germantown,

423
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 4: people are literally driving around playing freebird and there you

424
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: can hear it when you're at a traffic like so so.

425
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: But it was a great moment, and yet here you

426
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 4: have all the Democrats out there attacking these guys. Now

427
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 4: they're attacking the women because of course the President invited

428
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: them to which in the White House as well. What

429
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 4: do you make of that they.

430
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 2: Have Trump derangement syndrome? You know, maybe it's a terminal case.

431
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 10: I don't know.

432
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: But anything President Trump is for anything that he honors,

433
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: they want to dishonor anything that he wants to highlight,

434
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: they want to suppress, and they do not want him

435
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: to do well, and thereby they're not wanting the country

436
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: to do well.

437
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 4: One of the big issues the President did speak about

438
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 4: involves the Senate and Majority Leader of Thoon and this

439
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: issue surrounding the Save Act. What needs to happen, And

440
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 4: there's been a lot of talk about implementing, re implementing

441
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 4: the talking, you know, filibuster. We actually have to get

442
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: up like they did in the old days. Where do

443
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: you stand on that and what do you think the

444
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 4: Majority leader ought to do well.

445
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm a support, a co sponsor actually of the Save

446
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: Act from last Congress and the Save America Act as

447
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: we're calling it this Congress. I think it is common sense.

448
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: You ought to show an ID to go vote. Tennessee

449
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 2: has been ranked number one in election integrity and security.

450
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: You prove who you are when you go to vote

451
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: in the state of Tennessee. That's a good thing. And

452
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: for that to be a nationwide policy is appropriate for

453
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: people who register to vote, because you do have some

454
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: states that allow those that are illegally in the country

455
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: to get a driver's license. You have to prove that

456
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: you're a citizen of this country in order to register

457
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: to vote. I think that's a good thing. So this

458
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: is just common sense moving it forward in whatever way,

459
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: shape or form we put it on the floor, whether

460
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: it's a unanimous consent, a day of rule, or going

461
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: to the floor and having the talking filibuster, And for

462
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: whatever it takes, you think we're.

463
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: Going to be able to get it done before the midterms.

464
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: My hope is we can get it done before the midterms. Absolutely.

465
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 4: Senator Mark Mishall Blackburn joining us in studio, and she

466
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: is about to be the next governor of the state

467
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 4: of Tennessee, the first female governor of the state of Tennessee.

468
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: I don't want to get the car before the horse here,

469
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: but you're leading in all of the polls. You've been

470
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 4: crisscrossing the state, working around the clock, meeting with people,

471
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 4: and I'm just curious, what is it. What lessons did

472
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,239
Speaker 4: you learn from the Senate that you think are going

473
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 4: to be helpful to you in the governor's office.

474
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: One of the things that as you look at I

475
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: think all of your experience and of course for me

476
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: building a sales organization, opening the doors of opportunity for

477
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: forty thousand women who have worked with the Southwestern Company

478
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: since I opened those doors. Learning how to lead an

479
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: organization is I say, you lead people, you manage assets

480
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: at and Tennessee needs a lead leader. We don't need

481
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 2: a manager and then a leader who can build out

482
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: a vision, who can chart a path. That is what

483
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: our state needs. And that leader is me. And as

484
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: you look at the work in the House and in

485
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: the Senate, you realize how important it is to build

486
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: a team and effectively move policy that is going to

487
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: strengthen the state. And you know Todd, after the state

488
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: income tax was passed, we had to do a state

489
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: income tax was defeated. We had to do a reset

490
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: in our state. We weren't going to get a state

491
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: income tax, and so our state had to skinny up.

492
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 2: We had been at the bottom in economic development and education.

493
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: We did a reset. Our education scores for children improved,

494
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: and we've become an economic powerhouse. Not having a state

495
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 2: income tax was an imperative. Now President Trump is sending

496
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: back responsibility and authority in education, economic development, infrastructure, innovation,

497
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: illegal immigration, how we protect children, how we keep boys

498
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: out of girls' sports, and a healthcare, healthcare delivery. All

499
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: of this is coming back to us, and it is

500
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: imperative that we do another reset, and I know how

501
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: to do that, and it is going to be a

502
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: great time to reset how our state conducts business, how

503
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: we deliver services, and it is going to have an

504
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: impact for decades to come.

505
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: I don't know if you've been following the situation in

506
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 4: Nashville Lower Broadway where some of these family owned businesses

507
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 4: going back generations are watching their property taxes being raised

508
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: in some cases what six hundred thousand dollars. Is there

509
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: anything the Governor's office can do to step into to

510
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 4: help these folks.

511
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: Well, this is a Nashville Metro City Council issue. But

512
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: I recently met with a group of these businesses that

513
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 2: are there in downtown Nashville and have listened to their stories,

514
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: whether it's ACME or PEGLEC Porker or many of the

515
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: other clubs and businesses that are there. And what has

516
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: happened is the Metro Council has elevated those property assessments

517
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: and thereby elevated the tax to the point that they're

518
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 2: driving these businesses out. I do know the state legislature

519
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: at this point is looking at what they can do

520
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 2: to help save these businesses.

521
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: Here in Memphis. It's really been just a remarkable six

522
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 4: story of the President giving the city a shout out,

523
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 4: sitting in the Memphis Safe of the Memphis Safe Task Force,

524
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: which you have been at the forefront of, yes, getting

525
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: these federal agents and assets to the city, and it

526
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: has been remarkable. I want you to talk about this

527
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 4: success and then we have some breaking news we're going

528
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 4: to share. But I mean again, the idea that people

529
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: can now go out and enjoy this great city without

530
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 4: getting carjacked. That is something else.

531
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: It really is and people. We get calls in our

532
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: office every single day from people saying, thank you for

533
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: caring about Memphis. I love Memphis, I love Shelby County.

534
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: I love the west part of our state. And bringing

535
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: attention to this and getting the commitment from Cash Hotel

536
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: and Attorney General Bondi and then President Trump to put

537
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: these resources to work has made a difference. You know,

538
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: in the one hundred and fifty days since we got

539
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: all this going, we've cut the crime rate in Memphis

540
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: by over fifty percent. We're closing in on eight thousand arrests,

541
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: closing in on about two thousand weapons seized, and have

542
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: recovered over one hundred and fifty missing children. Wow, unbelievable success.

543
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: I was talking with Rachel Bell's her family owns for

544
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 4: she Peabody, and I said, isn't it nice the ducks

545
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: don't have to wear kevlar anymore. Yeah, I can swim

546
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 4: in the lobby and peace this. However, there is a problem,

547
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 4: and you have fired off a letter to the district

548
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: Attorney in Shelby County. His name is Steve Mulroy. He

549
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 4: is a George Soros style DA, very soft on crime.

550
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: And according to this letter that you've sent, the Memphis

551
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: crime Beat is reporting that hundreds of these people that

552
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 4: you just mentioned that have been arrested, very dangerous people

553
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 4: are being put right back out on the street.

554
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 2: That is what is happening on these state and local

555
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: based crimes because of DA Mulroy. Now, I will say this,

556
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: any crime that can go federal, our US Attorney Mike Donovant,

557
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: who is doing a fabulous job, takes those crimes federal

558
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: and we are getting prosecutions there and getting these criminals

559
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: locked up. But when you look at the stance from December,

560
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: and there were five hundred and fourteen felony cases were

561
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,280
Speaker 2: resolved in December of twenty twenty five, Now one hundred

562
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: and forty four of those Mulroy dismissed. I just said,

563
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 2: no problem here, go on. Now. There were three hundred

564
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 2: and seventy prosecuted cases. One hundred and seventy eight defendants

565
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 2: received suspended sentences probation or probation only. And this is unbelievable.

566
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: So they have these offenses, but he's just going to

567
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: put them on probation and let him walk. Eighty four

568
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 2: defendants received prison time, so out of the five fourteen,

569
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: only eighty four went to jail, sixty three received version,

570
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: forty five were released with time served. So seventy five

571
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: percent received no prison time and forty nine percent of

572
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: all the sentences imposed were imposed for less than a year.

573
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: And when you've got your US Attorney and your US

574
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: Marshal and all these federal agencies that are here working

575
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: with the TBITHB and the National Guard, and we are

576
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 2: getting criminals off the street and people can go downtown,

577
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: people can go out and about, and they're not worried.

578
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: Kids can go play out in the yard.

579
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: And you've got a.

580
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: DA who will not prosecute these criminals. This is unbelievable.

581
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: And the people of Memphis are really stirred up about this,

582
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 2: and they're talking to the state legislators and to the governor,

583
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: talking to our office and saying this DA has got

584
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 2: to come in line and prosecute these people.

585
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 4: Got to. So you've you've sent a letter and you're

586
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 4: demanding answers by what five o'clock March the sixth.

587
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yes, we are putting a lot of resources into

588
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 2: making certain that we not only get the crime rate down,

589
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: but that we keep it down. So with everybody doing

590
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: their part except the DA, we need the DA to

591
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: join us and to work on this.

592
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely well, Senator, we're going to have to take a

593
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: break here, but we really appreciate the great record, great

594
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: work you're doing and bulldogging these issues for the good

595
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: people of Tennessee. I mean, we saw what just happened

596
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: in New York City where they were pelting officers and

597
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 4: then the DA, Alvin Bragg, turns around and says, we're

598
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 4: not going to be We're not going to be prosecuting

599
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 4: anybody on this that we cannot have laws we can

620
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say that I was genuinely confused about,

621
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 5: but I do understand jin and gin are two different

622
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 5: they have different meaning.

623
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, I yes, exactly, So there you go.

624
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: By the way, went to bo Jingles last night after

625
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 4: I don't know why I got off the NEWSMAC Show,

626
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 4: and I'm like, man, I could go for some bo Jangles.

627
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 5: You can never go wrong with that pick.

628
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 4: So I was thirsty. I'm always parched after the NEWSMAC show.

629
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 4: So I asked for a big, old, big old jug

630
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: or like a huge like supersized iced tea, and I

631
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 4: asked for it unsweet. I guess don'body drinks unsweet tea

632
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 4: at Bojangles or in the South, because when I took

633
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 4: that big swig, I realized right away it was iced coffee.

634
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 5: Wow. Yeah that at that time of the day too.

635
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 4: That's uh, that's not good.

636
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 5: That's great.

637
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, i'd see, yeah exactly. By the way, President Trump

638
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 4: just got the alert on his way to Texas Corpus Christy.

639
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,080

00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 4: heard from Senator Marshall Blackburn a few moments ago. Of course,

656
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 4: there are a lot of folks in town for a major,

657
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 4: major convention, the annual Farm and Gin Show downtown in Memphis.

658
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: So we have a lot of good people wandering around

659
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,520

660
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 4: Deputy Secretary of the US Department of Agriculture, Stephen Vaden.

661
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: Joins us and Stephen, I didn't realize that that you

662
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 4: are a Memphis native. Welcome back home.

663
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 5: That's right.

664
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 11: I was born downtown at the Med.

665
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 4: Well, you know you're either born at the med or

666
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 4: you're born at Baptist, so you're one at one or

667
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 4: the other here, but you're from Union City, Tennessee.

668
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 11: That's right, two hours up US fifty one.

669
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 4: And we were having a great conversation about my favorite sausage.

670
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 4: I know, people are all say, oh, we have Tennessee No,

671
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 4: not Tennessee Pride. It is william Sausage, the best sausage

672
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: in America. And they don't even pay me to save

673
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: at Stevens, So that's how good it is.

674
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 11: Well, I know the family, Well they're located there in

675
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 11: Union City, and I'll have to agree with you. I

676
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 11: think it's the best.

677
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 4: Well, there's there's something to be said. And one of

678
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 4: the you know, we're I call myself myself a mom

679
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 4: and pop operation, you know, owning a radio station and

680
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 4: doing the national show and are we have a very

681
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 4: special place in our hearts for small businesses and family

682
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 4: owned businesses, and especially and I didn't really discover this

683
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 4: until later on in the we've been doing this show

684
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: for almost eight or nine years now, is that we

685
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 4: have so many farmers that listen to us when they're

686
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 4: out on their tractors, and you know, they're they're out

687
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 4: there working, and it's nice to know that that we

688
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 4: can be a voice for farmers in America. And what

689
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 4: you guys are doing especially is so vitally important to

690
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,479
Speaker 4: all of those great farmers out there.

691
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 11: Well, that's right. Every farmer is a small businessman, and

692
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 11: they know what it's like to sign the front of

693
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,399
Speaker 11: a paycheck. And they're dealing with a with a tough

694
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 11: economy right now thanks to the inflation that we have

695
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 11: seen over the past four years. And we're working hard

696
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 11: in the Trump administration to create new trade deals with

697
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 11: foreign countries so that they have more markets in which

698
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 11: to sell their goods. All the while, we're trying to

699
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 11: deal with some of the input cost issues, looking at

700
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 11: some of the antitrust concerns that we believe farmers rightfully

701
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 11: have in terms of the shrinking number of companies who

702
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 11: are seeking their business, in terms of the inputs farmers

703
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 11: need to grow their crops every year.

704
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 4: And it seems like at least in years past, and

705
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: we would hear from a lot of our listeners in

706
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 4: places like Kansas and in Iowa where it seemed like

707
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 4: Washington was not listening to them. You know, they didn't

708
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 4: want to. They didn't want to have anything to do

709
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 4: with the farmers of America. And those days are gone.

710
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 4: Now they are.

711
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 11: And as a matter of fact, not only are we listening,

712
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 11: we're going to make certain all of the people underneath

713
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 11: us or listening because we're sending them out closer to

714
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 11: rule America. As you know, Todd, we've got a huge

715
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 11: footprint in Washington, DC. We've got one of the largest

716
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 11: office buildings in the world that houses part of the

717
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 11: Department of Agriculture. It's seventy percent empty, it has one

718
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 11: point say billion dollars in backlog maintenance. No private entity

719
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 11: would ever run its business that way. And plus, I

720
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 11: don't have to tell your listeners there's no rural in Washington,

721
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 11: d C. And we serve rural America at the Department

722
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,320
Speaker 11: of Agriculture. So we're giving that building back, we're taking

723
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 11: that off the taxpayer's dime, and we're sending our employees

724
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 11: to be closer to the people whom they actually serve.

725
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,360
Speaker 4: So I'm curious, first of all, what's been the reaction

726
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 4: from the actual staffers there at USDA, And second, what's

727
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: been the reaction to all the farmers out there who

728
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 4: are probably going to have resources much closer to where

729
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: they are now.

730
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 11: Well, for farmers, they love it because it means that

731
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 11: there will be people who are making decisions that affect

732
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 11: their daily lives who are now no longer located in Washington,

733
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 11: d C and more in touch with the rural communities

734
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 11: whom we serve. For our employees, I think for those

735
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 11: who genuinely love rural America, they're excited about it because

736
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 11: the locations that we're sending them they all have much

737
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 11: lower cost of living, lower crime, and better quality of

738
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 11: life than Washington, d C.

739
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 4: I love that. And honestly, what's the old country music song,

740
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 4: I've got friends with tractors. I mean, you're not gonna

741
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 4: have that in Washington, d C. But you are if

742
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 4: you're going to be out in the countryside.

743
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 11: No you're not. And that's the point. We need to

744
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 11: focus on whom we serve, and it's not the lobbyist

745
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 11: in corporate class in Washington, d C. It's the American

746
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 11: farmer that's the backbone of our economy, and we need

747
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 11: to be out there with them.

748
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 4: I just I love the messaging coming off of this.

749
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 4: Stephen Vaden is joining US Deputy Secretary of US Department

750
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 4: of Ag and in town for the Mid South Farm

751
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 4: and Gin Show. Have you been down? Have you guys

752
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 4: had a chance to be down at the show just yet?

753
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 12: Yes.

754
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 11: We addressed the crowd this morning. We talked about the

755
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 11: work we're doing to support American farmers during the trade

756
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 11: disruption while negotiating trade deals that, for example, guarantee that

757
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 11: the country of Indonesia is going to be buying more

758
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 11: than a one hundred and sixty thousand metric tons of

759
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 11: American cotton every year for the next five years.

760
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just had our folks listening to us and

761
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 4: the Mississippi Delta very excited to hear that news.

762
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 11: I have to imagine, Well, we're trying to negotiate trade

763
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 11: deals that have metrics, because that's the only way we

764
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 11: can know that they're accomplishing the goal. We want to

765
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 11: sell more of what we grow to more people. And

766
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 11: if we just have a trade deal that's general and

767
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 11: says you should buy more American farm goods, there's no

768
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 11: way to hold people accountable. We will know whether Indonesia

769
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 11: buys that one hundred and sixty three thousand metric tons

770
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 11: of cotton that they've agreed to every year, just the

771
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 11: same way. We know, Todd, that China Medics commitment to

772
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 11: buy twelve million metric tons of American soybeans at this

773
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 11: marketing year. President Trump will hold them accountable. That's why

774
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 11: they're going to make these purchases. And if they don't,

775
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 11: there'll be consequences on the back end.

776
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 4: You know, some of the things that you guys have

777
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 4: had to deal with. And I tell people all the

778
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 4: time on the show that the President when he came

779
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 4: into office, there were so many dumpster fires burning around

780
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 4: the country. And to hear the President rattling off all

781
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 4: of the great success stories on Tuesday at the City

782
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 4: of the Union address, one of those was actually within

783
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: the Department of Agriculture. And you guys, first of all,

784
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 4: you had this, you had this dei atmosphere going on,

785
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 4: and that's something that you guys had to address pretty

786
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 4: much right away, Todd.

787
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 11: God doesn't discriminate when there's a natural disaster. It affects

788
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 11: all farmers, black, white, male, female alike. And yet under

789
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 11: the previous administration, if you were one of their preferred

790
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 11: demographic groups and you suffered from a drought, you got

791
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 11: more money than your neighbor next door just because of

792
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 11: the color of your skin. That's wrong, it's unconscionable, and

793
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 11: it's also unconstitutional. We've put an end to that, and

794
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 11: that's not just rhetoric. We filed a notice in federal

795
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 11: court lawsuits filed by farmers represented by the Texas Farm Bureau,

796
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 11: who rightly were upset about this, saying we agree with you,

797
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 11: this was wrong action, We're not going to defend it,

798
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 11: and we want the court to issue in order to

799
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 11: permanently stop any future wrongheaded administration from doing it.

800
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 4: Ever, again, it's shocking because we had heard the rumblings

801
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 4: that this was going on. But when you guys actually discovered,

802
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 4: oh yeah, this is actually happening. What was the reaction

803
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 4: to the folks there on staff.

804
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, it's hard to believe that your federal

805
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 11: government would be doing this. This has been settled since

806
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 11: the adoption of the fourteenth Amendment. We don't make distinctions

807
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 11: on the basis of race, and yet, literally, if you

808
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 11: had two farmers next door to one another, suffering from

809
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 11: the same drought, and one of them was black and

810
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 11: one of them was white, or one of them was

811
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 11: female and one of them was male, the African American

812
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 11: and the female farmer would get a bigger disaster relief

813
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 11: check than the white Maile farmer solely because of their

814
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 11: demographic characteristics. That's just bonkers.

815
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 4: It is bonkers. And equally as bonkers was the abuse

816
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 4: that was happening in the food stamp program. And I

817
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 4: know that that has been a big concern for you guys.

818
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 11: It is. And let me start out with some good

819
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 11: news that I'm certain your listeners heard the President announce

820
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 11: in the State of the Union. We have removed two

821
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 11: point four million people from the food stamp roles.

822
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 4: Wow.

823
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 11: Two point four million people are now available to work

824
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 11: and no longer on the dole thanks to the beginning

825
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 11: of the reforms that we've implemented. And that's before we

826
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 11: get to the concerns we have about fraud. I mean,

827
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,240
Speaker 11: we've got now I can say twenty nine states todd

828
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 11: because Kansas led by a Democrat governor, but they've reached

829
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 11: a voluntary agreement with us. They've given us their data too.

830
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 11: We still need the other states led by Democrats to

831
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 11: follow along. But with the states that we've got, we've

832
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 11: already found and this is to make up, but it's true,

833
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 11: one hundred and eighty six thousand dead people are receiving

834
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 11: food stamp benefits. We've got three hundred and fifty five

835
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 11: thousand people in the twenty eight states that we've analyzed

836
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 11: who are receiving food stamp benefits multiple times. That means

837
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 11: they're either receiving benefits twice from the same state, or

838
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 11: we have one enterprising gentleman, Todd, who is simultaneously receiving

839
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 11: benefits from six different states.

840
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 4: How is that even possible?

841
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 11: Well, that's the question that we're asking because obviously we

842
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 11: need our state partners to be administering this program in

843
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 11: a way that makes fraud difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.

844
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 11: I'm grateful to the twenty eight and now twenty nine

845
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 11: states who have voluntarily shared their data with US. Tennessee

846
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,399
Speaker 11: is thankfully one of those where we can go through

847
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 11: their data for them, run through these different databases and

848
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 11: find these likely fraudulent recipients, and then have the states

849
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 11: go investigate and remove them from the roles. I don't

850
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 11: understand why New York, Illinois, and California wouldn't want to

851
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 11: do this. We don't charge the states anything for this.

852
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 11: We do all the data analysis for free to them.

853
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 11: All we want is the data. And yet the states

854
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 11: that claim there's no fraud in the system are the

855
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 11: exact same states that don't want to hand over the data.

856
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 4: It does make you wonder what that number is going

857
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 4: to look like if they eventually hand over that information.

858
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 11: Well, I'll give you one idea. And this is a

859
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 11: late breaking development, but we're doing undercover operations in some

860
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 11: of these states to try to catch these fraudsters in

861
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 11: the action. And within the past two weeks, we had

862
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 11: an agent in the state of Minnesota who was seeking

863
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 11: to see what he could do with an EBT card.

864
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 11: Among the things he was able to buy, obviously against

865
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 11: the law, multiple different ways with an EBT card, meth amphetamine,

866
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 11: no joke. We have people who are trading their food

867
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 11: stamp cards for drugs and this is going on around

868
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 11: the country and we have a specific instance of it,

869
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 11: which we've now caught in Minnesota.

870
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 4: Now you're catching these people, are they being prosecuted? I mean,

871
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 4: is there a penalty for all of this?

872
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 11: They absolutely are. I'm proud to say that, thanks to

873
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 11: President Trump, we have a new Inspector General at USDA.

874
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 11: You can think of him as his our top cop.

875
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 11: His name is John walk He's got a team completely

876
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 11: devoted to stamping out snap fraud. He has the ability

877
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 11: to arrest people, he has the ability to seek the

878
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 11: Justice Department to prosecute them. And that individual that sold

879
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,759
Speaker 11: that meth amphetamine for an EBT card, they won't have

880
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 11: to worry about where they'll be getting their meals from

881
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 11: for the next several years. The prison system will take

882
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:44,439
Speaker 11: care of them.

883
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 13: Wow.

884
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 4: I know that there are people cheering right now listening

885
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 4: to what you're saying, But again, it's just shocking that

886
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 4: it was allowed to get to this point. And you

887
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 4: really do wonder at the end of the day, how

888
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 4: many people legitimately are going to need help from the government.

889
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 11: Well, that's the point. There are people who need help,

890
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 11: and we want to help them. And every one of

891
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 11: these fraudsters, whether it be in Minnesota or the other states.

892
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 11: The three hundred and fifty five thousand people in the

893
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 11: twenty eight states we have who are receiving benefits from

894
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 11: multiple states, the nearly two hundred thousand dead people, they

895
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 11: are literally stealing taxpayer money that is given through the

896
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 11: generosity of the American taxpayer to those who actually need it.

897
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 11: It's wrong, and it's going to stop under this administration.

898
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 4: All Right, mister secretary, we have got to take a

899
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 4: break here, but we sure to appreciate you dropping by

900
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 4: and delivering this news. I mean, that's the good news here,

901
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 4: is that you guys are fixing a lot of things

902
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 4: that have been broken, and you're looking out for these

903
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 4: dollars of the hard working American men and women, and

904
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 4: I know they have to be so thankful for the

905
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 4: great work that you guys are doing. I'll give you

906
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:54,959
Speaker 4: the last word.

907
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 11: Well, if you are aware of fraud that may be

908
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 11: going on in your communities except food stamps, we've got

909
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 11: a tip line. Please go to the USDA website, send

910
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 11: us an email, or call us at the number you'll

911
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 11: find there, and we'll follow up on it because we

912
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 11: won't to ensure whether it's through our farm programs, whether

913
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 11: it's through the food stamp program, or whether it's through

914
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 11: our wise use of taxpayer resources in terms of shrinking

915
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 11: our real estate footprint. We're not taking one more dollar

916
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 11: from you that is spent on wisely.

917
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 4: I love that. All right. Now, before you go, though,

918
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 4: I mean, please tell me you're grabbing some lunch, you're

919
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 4: getting some barbecue somewhere.

920
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 11: Oh you know that I am while here in Memphis.

921
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 11: I'm definitely gonna have some of those dry rub ribs.

922
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 11: And I'm not leaving home until I get this.

923
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 4: You see, I know he's the real deal, Dylan, because

924
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 4: he said dry rub. Right, that's how you know. You're

935
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 4: nine two six. This is the Todd Starns Show, and

936
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 4: welcome back everybody. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.

937
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,479
Speaker 4: Very very happy to have you with us today. Wow,

938
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 4: what a crazy interview. I thought we were talking about

939
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 4: like cows and chickens. I had no idea that somebody

940
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 4: out there was trying to buy meth with an EBT

941
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 4: card for crying out loud. That's insane, insane, And also

942
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,720
Speaker 4: the idea that during the Biden administration they were treating

943
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 4: farmers differently based on their skin color, and that to

944
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 4: me is just beyond defensive. One of the hardest things

945
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 4: to do is own and run a family farm. I mean,

946
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 4: it's just just sun up to sundown around the clock,

947
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 4: twenty four hours a day. And for the government to

948
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 4: come in and say the white farmer is lesser than

949
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 4: that is an American in my book. And I'm glad

950
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 4: to see President Trump using the Department of Agriculture to

951
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 4: crack down and write so many wrongs in this country.

952
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 4: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

953
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 4: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six

954
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. Dylan coming up in the

Speaker 5: It's very exciting.

959
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I don't know how we allowed him

960
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 4: back in.

961
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, we tried to both the doors shut, but I

962
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 5: guess he knows where the secret keys are.

963
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 4: Some season there was you know, it's a beautiful day

964

965
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 4: want to get into other people's weather, but just it's

Speaker 4: that there's no wind, the temperatures, the right to whatever,

967
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden there was like this massive

968
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 4: whirlwind and I thought to myself, Oh, I got the shiver,

1045
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 6: I came from Washington and I think I left this

01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 6: morning was thirty something degrees if that, and it's pretty

1047

1051
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 6: in what I would say, I feel like And I

01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 6: tell this to people who meet me, and everybody now

1053
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 6: is like, what what do you do? How do you

1054
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 6: end up in your job? And I say, well, I

1055
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 6: went to the Todd's Starring School of Broadcasting and this

1056
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 6: is it. This is where it all happened back in Memphis, Tennessee.

1057
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 6: So it is always good to be back living in

1058
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 6: Washing It What is that experience like? Because you know,

1059
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 6: President Trump talked about how dangerous it was and they

1060
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 6: sent in the National Guard. Did it really make a difference?

1061
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 6: You know, I came from Memphis, and Memphis makes Washington

1062
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 6: look like paradise, no offense. I love Memphis, but like Memphis,

1063
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 6: it's dangerous. Todd has an armored vehicle for a reason.

1064
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 6: So I moved to DC and it was right ahead

1065
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 6: of the massive crime crack down by the President where

1066
01:01:37,680 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 6: he issued these orders and he sent in the National Guard.

1067
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 6: And I will tell you when I got off the

1068
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 6: Metro this morning to jump on the airport, a air

1069
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 6: jump in, jump to the airport, jumping on an airplane

1070
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 6: to come back here. Yeah, they're national guards everywhere. I

1071
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 6: have no issue with them. It's actually very I mean,

1072
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,280
Speaker 6: when have you ever seen a police man? We're a

1073
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:05,680
Speaker 6: law enforcement agent and gone that makes me uncomfortable to

1074
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 6: be around. Apparently people feel uncomfortable around them. They're just

1075
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 6: all Democrats and I guess lawless. But I really enjoy

1076
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 6: the added police presidents, which I love that they also

1077
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 6: are deployed in Memphase two in some other big cities.

1078
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 4: I will say this that you know when you now

1079
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 4: that you're in DC and you're a part of what

1080
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 4: I mean, you are living in the swamp now, and

1081
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 4: what is that experience like for you? I know you're

1082
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 4: still running. You're a lot of people don't realize you're

1083
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 4: a marathon right. Let me tell you this.

1084
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 6: So you watch the State of the Union, I know

1085
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 6: because you were tweeting and you were calling people out

1086
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 6: as you do, and so the whole nation is watching

1087
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 6: the president give a historic record breaking speech. You know

1088
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 6: where yours truly was?

1089
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 4: Where were you? I was in the crypt? Is that

1090
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 4: so that was underneath? So you're underneath the Capitol Building. Yep.

1091
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 6: Right beneath the floor of the House where the President

1092
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 6: gave the State of the Union is this basement otherwise

1093
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 6: known as the crypt who once was to house the

1094
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 6: corpse of George Washington. It's the craziest thing. So, George Washington,

1095
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 6: the first president, was supposed to be buried underneath the Capitol.

1096
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1097
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 6: For those history and earns out there, that's the story.

1098
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 6: And Martha Washington said that's not happening. He's going to

1099
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 6: Mount Vernon with me. And so there is still a

1100
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 6: place for where George Washington was supposed to be resting

1101
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 6: for eternity, and that's where they housed the staff while

1102
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,400
Speaker 6: the President gave the remarks.

1103
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 4: Do you do you get the Were you down there?

1104
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 4: Did you get to see the president?

1105
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you didn't see the president, but you saw

1106
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 6: everybody else. You saw Supreme Court. You walked then after

1107
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 6: the President gave his remarks, Capitol police will take all

1108
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 6: of the House staffers. They'll escort you to the rotunda,

1109
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 6: and that is where you see all five hundred members

1110
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 6: of Congress. It's pretty crazy. You've got Corey, You've got

1111
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 6: all of these people from the Senator.

1112
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 4: Here's the Cory Booker.

1113

1132
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 4: We do have some breaking news to share, and Dieter,

1133
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 4: I'm curious to get your thoughts on this. The Attorney

1134
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 4: General just announcing that thirty more people are being charged

1135
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 4: federally in the storming of that Minnesota church that was

1136
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,919
Speaker 4: the one where Don Lemon was videoing everything. Twenty five

1137
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 4: people have been arrested by federal agents. More to come.

1138
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 4: So this is news that is just dropping and of

1139
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,680
Speaker 4: course we'll have more on this tonight on Newsmax. Pam

1140
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 4: Bondi is saying, you cannot attack a house of worship.

1141
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 4: If you do so, you cannot hide from us. We

1142
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 4: will find you, arrest you, prosecute you. This Department of

1143
01:05:57,160 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 4: Justice stands for Christians and all Americans of faith. You know,

1144
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 4: that was such an insane thing. I remember years ago

1145
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 4: when I was a journalist. There are you have to

1146
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 4: have a code of conduct about yourself. And if you're

1147
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 4: covering an event, for example like tornadoes, a lot of

1148
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 4: reporters will just go running onto the piles of rubble,

1149
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 4: when in fact that is somebody's house, and you should

1150
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 4: have the decency to ask, hey, may I, may I,

1151
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 4: you know, walk into your pile of rubble? I mean

1152
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 4: it's you know, you've you've got to have some decency

1153
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 4: about yourself. But to see what Don Lemon did, Jesus

1154
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 4: a lou Well.

1155
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 6: And I don't know if you saw this as well,

1156
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 6: but a church goer somewhere that was actually at that

1157
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 6: church when Don Lemon and the anti Ice mob stormed

1158
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 6: the Church of Minnesota actually is suing Don Lemon as well.

1159
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 6: So that's something to also keep an eye on. Yes,

1160
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 6: the DOJ pursuing some charges, but also you've got the

1161
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 6: families there just trying to pray to Jesus and worship God,

1162
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 6: and you've got this godless heathen and here with the

1163
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 6: camera stigain in your face. Yeah, I would be very

1164
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 6: careful if I was Don Lemon or any other journalist

1165
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 6: who wants to try these types of shenanigans.

1166
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 4: All right, this is crazy stuff. We're gonna take a

1167
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,200

Speaker 4: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two

1170
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 4: six again the breaking news, the Attorney General announcing that

1171
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 4: thirty more anti Ice leftist are going to be charged

1172
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 4: in the storming of that church in Minnesota. We'll be

1173
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 4: right back, all right, welcome back. This is open Line Friday,

1174
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 4: Ben Dieter back in studio. Let's go to the phones.

1175
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 4: Richard and o'calla Florida listening to us on WOCA. Hi, Richard,

1176
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 4: what's on your mind?

1177
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:54,480
Speaker 10: Howdy, Metric Todd, thanks for taking my call. Just a

1178
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 10: couple of things lightly, mitcherck Togg, you mentioned that DA.

1179
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 10: I think it's a Memphis that's turning him. Crim must

1180
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 10: lose as fast as the being arrested, so to speak.

1181
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 10: My question is the president has the constitution of authority

1182
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 10: to my understanding, unless it's change to fire every DA

1183
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 10: in the United States. Bill Clinton, remember when he was

1184
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 10: first elected, the first thing he did was fire every

1185
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 10: Republican district attorney in America. It was wrong thing to do,

1186
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 10: but it was his constance.

1187
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 4: That Richard, that would have been Yeah, those would have

1188
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 4: been the US attorneys, not the locally elected district attorneys. So,

1189
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 4: but the appointed US attorneys. Absolutely, the president can step in,

1190
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 4: which is why they've been having such a big problem.

1191
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 4: I believe it's in New York State where the President's

1192
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 4: trying to get rid of some left radical leftists up there.

1193
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 10: Okay, all right, I just learned something. It's just that

1194
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 10: and every state has one US attorney?

1195
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:53,839
Speaker 14: Is that correct?

1196
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not sure exactly how many how many US

1197
01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 4: attorneys are are out there, but we can find out

1198
01:08:59,240 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 4: for you.

1199
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 10: That's all right. And another thing you mentioned about the

1200
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 10: world hates the Jews, and they do, but Todd, where

1201
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 10: people miss it. What the world hates worse than the

1202
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 10: Jews is the true Christians. And if you remember, Jesus

1203
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 10: was talking to the disciples, that was the church, and

1204
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 10: he said, marvel not that the world hates you, because

1205
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 10: they hated me before they hated jew And yes, the

1206
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 10: liberal news media and the world and the leftists they

1207
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 10: hate the Jews, but they hate the Christians a whole

1208
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 10: lot word and they're going to persecute the Christians here

1209
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 10: as soon as they get the power. Remember Hillary Clinton

1210
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 10: made a statement that the worst terrorist in the world

1211
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 10: was the Christians. It's the Christians they hate because they've

1212
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 10: been holding this thing at Babe by the grace of God.

1213
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 10: And as far as you mentioned the word rapture, Todd,

1214
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 10: all I use is the authorized version, the King James version.

1215
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 10: But the word raptures not in that Bible cover to cover.

1216
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 10: It's not in the Old Testament, it's not in the

1217
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 10: New Testament. God's coming back one time and he's going

1218
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,839
Speaker 10: to destroy this world when he does, and take the Christians.

1219
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 10: I have been wishing, whether they Jew or Gentile. But

1220
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 10: people need to be prepared in their hearts. Yeah, because

1221
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 10: are some bad times coming down the road. And you're right,

1222
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 10: once Trump gets out of here, I think, not just

1223
01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,440
Speaker 10: the Jews, but in trouble too well.

1224
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 4: They're Yeah, they're gonna throw all of us off the

1225
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 4: buildings when it's by the time it's all said and

1226
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 4: done there, Richard, And uh, yeah, I appreciate you. By

1227

1334
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:48,200
Speaker 4: TDS and there is no cure and it's a tragic thing.

1335
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:50,800

01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:09,160
Speaker 4: speaking in Corpus Christi, and the President's coming to deliver

1353
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:12,120

01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 4: over the country campaigning for Republicans. And one of the

01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 4: things the President is touting is that things are looking

1356
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 4: really good in Texas. As a matter of fact, the

Speaker 4: average price for regular gasoline now at two sixty per gallon,

1358
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 4: which is down forty four percent from the Biden administer.

1359
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 4: Can you believe that gas price is down two dollars

1360
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 4: per more than two dollars per gallon? They're in Texas

1361
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 4: thanks to President Trump. By the way, gas can even

1362
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 4: be found for less than two dollars per gallon at

1363
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 4: several stations across the state. Diesel prices going down thirty

1364
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 4: eight percent as well. The President also is going to

01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:02,040
Speaker 4: Texas families. By the way, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.

1367
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 4: You folks in Texas are going to be saving a

1368
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,959
Speaker 4: little over four thousand dollars a year on your taxes.

01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 14: I appreciate you having me on today, Dodd. You made

1381
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,799
Speaker 14: me think about Texas. I made a trip to McCallum,

1382
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 14: Texas a couple of years ago to hope to see

1383
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 14: what really was happening at the border. And you're seven

1384
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 14: advertisements before the show talking about deportations and maybe slaw

1385
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 14: down the legal information.

1386
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:09,639
Speaker 3: And it just set me.

1387
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 14: To the collective thought that the number one thing I

1388
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 14: hear at a college Republican yl or a tarnic point

1389
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 14: chapter on our college campuses is that the legal alien

1390
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 14: and immigration as a whole the problem for young people,

1391
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:29,200
Speaker 14: and they want us to do something about.

1392
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 4: You know, MANI I think one of the things that

1393
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 4: I saw coming out of the State of the Union

1394
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 4: address when the President just so eloquently said, I want

1395
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 4: you to stand if you believe that we should put

1396
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 4: Americans first and not illegals, and you saw all the

1397
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 4: Republicans stand. Not a single Democrat stood. And for me,

1398
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 4: you know, taking that down to the to the college,

1399
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 4: the collegiate level, if there is a scholar, if there's

1400
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 4: one scholarship available, who do you give it to the

1401
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,439
Speaker 4: illegal or do you give it to the American kid?

1402
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:01,000
Speaker 4: And I think the Democrats would give it to the illegal. Kin.

1403
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 14: I think you're right, And I heard that at in Osto,

1404
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 14: They're like, why are we bringing people from Kuwait to

1405
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 14: system in the engineering spots when we have Tennessee and that.

1406
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 4: Need to be in those plots.

1407
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 14: And I got to say, I agree with the young people.

1408
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 14: The governor of the state says he does get to

1409
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 14: decide all the cogrecious stuff, obviously, but the governor does

1410
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 14: get to play an active role and making sure that

1411
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 14: the deportation of the Gillies is efficient effected. And you

1412
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 14: may that efficient and effect We've got to do that for.

1413
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 4: Our cities money. I'm curious because you know a lot

1414
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 4: of this is the first time I think I've had

1415
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 4: this conversation with any lawmaker. But you know, when you

1416
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,800
Speaker 4: look at the percentages of international students that we are

1417
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 4: educating at our expense as taxpayers, and I'm wondering if

1418
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 4: that's something that that you would encourage the legislature to do,

1419
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 4: is to say, okay, are things out of whack here?

1420
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 4: You know? Should we you know, is there a certain

1421
01:20:58,600 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 4: percentage that is appropriate?

1422
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 13: Yet?

1423
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 14: Well, that academic industrial complex is pretty powerful. It's much

1424
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 14: like Eisenhower said debility industrial complex was, and so that

1425
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 14: they want to bring that money in for prow I

1426
01:21:11,479 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 14: want to take care of Tennessee's first citizens on them.

1427
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 14: I think that we're at a point in America and

1428
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 14: I hear this and I agree with it. I think

1429
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,599
Speaker 14: we need to we need.

1430
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 3: To cut off the h one v.

1431
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 9: Visus.

1432
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 10: We need to pause.

1433
01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 14: Immigration legal immigration for a while, and we definitely need

1434
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 14: to do the deportation. It's not just our colleges thought

1435
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 14: we have. I looked at something in the Centers rendered

1436
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 14: Immigration Studies the other day, and the population in America

1437
01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 14: right now is fifteen percent FOR and FORM. In nineteen

1438
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,800
Speaker 14: seventy it was four and a half percent FOR, and

1439
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:53,600
Speaker 14: we have reached a saturation point. I think that we

1440
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 14: better correct that or we're going to lose culture and

1441
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 14: adherence to our American exceptualism, our Tennessee values, and it

1442
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 14: to be quite honest for us, just the fact that

1443
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 14: the Constitution out of rights are absolutely come from God.

1444
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 14: Because other countries don't believe that, we preserve that.

1445
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 4: State Representative Manti Fritz is joining us and he's running

1446
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 4: for governor in the state of Tennessee. And the reason

1447
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 4: I wanted you to come on the show is that

1448
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 4: that you have led a resolution encouraging tennesseeans to engage

1449
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 4: in a time of prayer and fasting from July first

1450
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 4: to July thirty first every year. And I'm curious. I

1451
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 4: want you to maybe explain to our listeners, why do

1452
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 4: you think that is so important?

1453
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 14: Well, I think it's in alignment with our founders first time.

1454
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 14: Our founders were Christian interworldview. None of them were perfect

1455
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 14: man is George Washington wasn't a perfect man, but they

1456
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 14: understood that the blessings that we enjoy come from God,

1457
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 14: including our liver, the rights that we can And I

1458
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:01,439
Speaker 14: found myself in twenty twenty four frustrated because they're leaders

1459
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 14: pushing red black laws and if we weren't really standing

1460
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 14: up for people, I wrote up this long list agreement.

1461
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 14: In nine thousand children in state custins begin violence in

1462
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 14: the streets and in the hall druggies, and I really

1463
01:23:14,560 --> 01:23:18,000
Speaker 14: come to this to fifty that we can't legislate ourselves

1464
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 14: out of a hole that we're in in Tennessee, the

1465
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:21,920
Speaker 14: best place in the world to live, by the way,

1466
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 14: and we can't spend ourselves up all they're things that

1467
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 14: we need to legislate because we need to spend them.

1468
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 14: But we need to move of God. And so I

1469
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 14: think we're the only legislative body in the history of

1470
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,680
Speaker 14: the country that's set us by thirty days. We did

1471
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 14: at twenty twenty four for July, and then that I

1472
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 14: traveled all ninety five down and we prayed for God's

1473
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 14: to food and many people, pastors and politicians repented.

1474
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 3: In public and.

1475
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 14: Bought God's blessings. And then in twenty twenty five we

1476
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 14: decided to make that every year. To know, every July

1477
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 14: in the state of Tennessee, for those spiritually incline and

1478
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 14: those physically aid ever tells us what to do regarding

1479
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:08,440
Speaker 14: our religious yeah, but for those spiritually inclined is a

1480
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 14: gathering fast praise see God's hands. I'm so honored that

1481
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,760
Speaker 14: I got to pen the words, and it's in this

1482
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 14: in our state books to say we recognize God as

1483
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 14: creator and being of Baltimore, and that we ask the

1484
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 14: Lord Jesus to heal our land and the Holy Spirit

1485
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,880
Speaker 14: to fill our corporates in our classes. And I think

1486
01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 14: that for pists and God's faith is the way that

1487
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 14: Tennessee and America has a liberty field and prosperous us.

1488
01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 14: I think it's only.

1489
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 4: Well money we're going to have to leave it there,

1490
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,880

Speaker 9: Amen?

1532
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 12: All right, I'm glad you haven't then drinking that kool aid.

1533
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 12: And also because you're up there rubbing the elbows with

1534
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 12: all those high falutin people. Maybe you. I think Todd

1535
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 12: has the answer to trump the arrangement syndrome in his

1536
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 12: book How to Say the Nation, and that's with if

1537
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:21,680
Speaker 12: we can infuse testosterone with barbecue tofu. Maybe you can

1538
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 12: talk to some of them people up there to fund

1539
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,280
Speaker 12: the experiment on how to get that done.

1540
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 3: Hmm.

1541
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 14: I like that.

1542
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,160
Speaker 6: So you're saying you've got the tofu because that's the

1543
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 6: only thing the vegans eat. They're woke, and you imfuse

1544
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 6: it with testosterone. Is that FDA approved?

1545
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1546
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 4: I have no Okay, you.

1547
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,800
Speaker 12: Got to make sure that the ladies don't get a

1548
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:44,520
Speaker 12: hold of it, though, otherwise we can start seeing some purple.

1549
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 4: Beards, you know what I'm saying, some very angry Subaru drivers,

1550
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 4: is what you're saying.

1551
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 3: German Shepherd, Yes, sir, thank you. I love the show

1552
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 3: and I'm praying for you guys always well.

1553
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,680
Speaker 4: German Shepherd, thank you for that and we appreciate you.

1554
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 4: Keeping on us from Ohio. Let's go to Bob in Houston,

1555
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:08,800
Speaker 4: Texas listening to us on Patriot Talk nine. Bob, may

1556
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 4: I just tell you we had so much fun visiting

1557
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 4: those great conservative ladies in Houston the other day.

1558
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they're great. There are really supporters of American

1559
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 3: graatism and everything.

1560
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 13: Hey.

1561
01:28:22,479 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 3: But the main reason why I wanted to call is

1562
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 3: mentioned about ilhan Omar and her spitting in America's space

1563
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:34,719
Speaker 3: during them during the Stave Union address, all her screaming

1564
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 3: and yelling and everything and putting down the president and

1565
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 3: it was just an embarrassment to watch her. I'm surprised

1566
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 3: the DJ hasn't done anything about her with all her

1567
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 3: anti Samar and her brother school own applications and foger

1568
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 3: Lee applying for meeting the rules and laws that she'd

1569
01:28:55,200 --> 01:29:01,439
Speaker 3: broken with the tax forms, tax reimbursements. It goes on

1570
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 3: and on. There many agencies should be after her for

1571
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:08,719
Speaker 3: all her different crimes. I just can't believe that nothing's

1572
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 3: been done about her, and they got to that point,

1573
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:14,280
Speaker 3: and even with her antics that she pulled off the

1574
01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 3: other night, it doesn't look like anything's going to happen.

1575
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 4: Well, Bob, Bob, I do have some breaking news to

1576
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 4: share with you, if that's okay.

1577
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 1: Breaking news now on the Todd Starn Show, so.

1578
01:29:26,240 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 4: We understand from Harmeat Dylan from the Justice Department. She

1579
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 4: says that there are serious questions about the circumstances of

1580
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 4: the paperwork around her naturalization. Dylan refusing to go any

1581
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 4: further than that, but she's implying that there's a possibility

1582
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 4: iljan Omar could be denaturalized. On naturalized, she could be

1583
01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:51,839
Speaker 4: given the heave.

1584
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 3: Ho fantastic, Yeah, all right, that'd be great to There

1585
01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 3: was a reason for my call, and yeah, let's keep

1586
01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 3: her doing this. I know Tim fitting with Juduisha Watch

1587
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:06,519
Speaker 3: is following something against her as well. Maybe all the

1588
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 3: other different agencies concerned will will help bring the end

1589
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:11,840
Speaker 3: to this to this woman.

1590
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:15,160

01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 17: Absolutely, I'm for that. But yeah, this has been an

1619
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 17: interesting week when it comes to political stuff. I'm a

1620
01:31:36,560 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 17: little concerned at the very least.

1621
01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 4: Well, look, Vicky, it's it's really gonna it's I think

1622
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,440
Speaker 4: it's going to require all of us, you know, everybody

1623
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:50,160
Speaker 4: focusing on the most important thing, which is getting conservatives

1624
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 4: elected to office. And you know, that's and also understanding

1625
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,640
Speaker 4: and embracing the grass roots of the party. And you

1626
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 4: can't just shove those people aside. There has to be

1627
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 4: a place at the table for everybody, and and that's

1628
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:08,280
Speaker 4: a tough thing, you know. I was in Houston, Texas

1629
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 4: a couple of days ago speaking to the Republican Club,

1630
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:16,480
Speaker 4: the Village Republican Club, and they talked about the importance

1631
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:19,720
Speaker 4: of the grass roots and how important it is to

1632
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:22,000
Speaker 4: you know, to be a part of the party and

1633
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:23,040
Speaker 4: to work together.

1634
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 17: I totally agree, and especially after the year that we've had,

1635
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:31,760
Speaker 17: and we did make great changes with Revived twenty five,

1636
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 17: and now it looks as though it's kind of all

1637
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 17: fading away in my mind. And I hope I'm wrong.

1638
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:38,000
Speaker 17: I hope, I'm so hope I'm wrong.

1639
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,439
Speaker 4: Well, we're going to We're going to see what happens here.

1640
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:43,440
Speaker 4: But I can tell you that we have got everybody's

1641
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,720
Speaker 4: going to get on the same page, and that even

1642
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:49,479
Speaker 4: includes the US Senate and Majority Leader John Thune is

1643
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 4: going to have to do something about this filibuster so

1644
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 4: that we can we can protect our elections. And if

1645
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,040
Speaker 4: we can't do that, then we've got big problems in

1646
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 4: the country. All right, Vicky. Always good hearing from you.

1647
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:05,240
Speaker 17: Thank Todd, and the other thing too. I would say

1648
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 17: we may be doing a campaign for right ends if

1649
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 17: I have to. I don't know what else we can do.

1650
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, the thoughts, nothing wrong with right ends. There are

1651
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:17,360
Speaker 4: some great people out there, great Republicans and great conservatives

1652
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:19,720
Speaker 4: here in this part of the state and across the nation.

1653
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 4: All right, Vicky, good hearing for the great Vicki Gandy,

1654
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:27,360
Speaker 4: go team Gantee dot com. She's a great conservative real

1655
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 4: estate person. So great lady, one of the best. All right,

1656
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,120
Speaker 4: let's go to Mike in clear Lake City, Texas. Hi, Mike,

1657
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:36,320
Speaker 4: what's on your mind today?

1658
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 17: Hello?

1659
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:43,080
Speaker 18: My question is why does the Epstein files even exist?

1660
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 18: And the reason why I asked that is you had

1661
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 18: a twenty year investigation, five different FBI directors, six million

1662
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:54,400
Speaker 18: plus files, hundreds of people named, and it results in

1663
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 18: the arrest of two people. So what was the whole

1664
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:02,080
Speaker 18: point of keeping this investigation going for twenty years? In

1665
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 18: other words, what was the aha moment, like Aha, we

1666
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 18: found what we're looking for or aha, we've got them now?

1667
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:11,560
Speaker 18: What was the whole point of keeping that going for

1668
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:13,639
Speaker 18: twenty years? If you only arress two people.

1669
01:34:14,479 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 4: Mike. I think it's a great question, and part of

1670
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 4: me wonders if if those files existed to make sure

1671
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 4: that very powerful people stayed in line under the threat

1672
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 4: of having their secrets exposed. I wonder if that, if

1673
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 4: that might possibly have something to do with all of that,

1674
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 4: Because you're right, only two people have been charged here,

1675
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 4: two across the big pond. But I think that's a

1676
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,320
Speaker 4: fair question to ask, what was the point of all

1677
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 4: of this? Hey, Mike, I got to run that music

1678
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 4: means we've got to screw it out of here. But

1679
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 4: it is a great question. You leave us with the

1680
01:34:46,960 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 4: next question, can you wear pajamas to the airport? We're

1681
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 4: going to talk to Benjeter about that. Nine oh one

1702
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,240
Speaker 4: will remember these days. But back in the nineteen sixties

1703
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:18,040
Speaker 4: and seventies, which I think was really the zenith of

1704
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 4: air travel, people used to dress up when they were

1705
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 4: going if you were going on an airplane flight, aay

1706
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,880
Speaker 4: way to what you would wear, like what you wear

1707
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 4: to church, which does not even help now because people

1708
01:36:30,439 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 4: wear pajamas to church now, But they used to wear

1709
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:36,439
Speaker 4: dresses and men used to wear suits with ties to

1710
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 4: go on an airplane. What freaks.

1711
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:40,800

Speaker 4: What do you mean why would you Why would you

1713
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:44,360
Speaker 4: say that's freakish.

1714
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:49,720
Speaker 6: Because you wear that to maybe Easter Sunday, definitely not

1715
01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:54,519
Speaker 6: to terminal be or whatever concourse you're going in. I say,

1716
01:36:54,560 --> 01:36:56,679
Speaker 6: I am one of these people. I hate to say

1717
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 6: that I roll in to an airport wearing do you

1718
01:37:02,479 --> 01:37:06,559

1720
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 4: Do you get cold? Is that why you wear them

1721
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:12,599
Speaker 4: on the airplane?

1722
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 6: Well, that and I just want to be comfortable. I

1723
01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 6: don't want to wear a three piece tucks on Spirit Airlines.

1724
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:23,639
Speaker 4: Well, then I mean they would You're lucky that people

1725
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:30,080
Speaker 4: are wearing pants on Spirit Airlines. I'm just saying I've

1726
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:30,839
Speaker 4: heard stories.

1727
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 6: I flew Delta today and I'm used to flying Spirit

1728
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 6: in frontier because again broke and wow, I felt like

1729
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 6: I was in first class. I was back in the

1730
01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 6: porta pot in the back, but it was a very

1731
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:44,880
Speaker 6: nice plight.

1732
01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 4: According to Tampa International Airport, they posted they posted something

1733
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 4: which many people implied was a ban on pajamas. Wearing

1734
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 4: pajamas at the airport. We've seen enough, We've had enough.

1735
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 4: It's time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport. They

1736
01:38:02,479 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 4: posted this on x their official account, by the way,

1737
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:09,600
Speaker 4: and they boasted about a previous band on crocs and

1738
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:13,760
Speaker 4: they referred to people who wear midday pajama pajamas rather

1739
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:15,679
Speaker 4: during the midday as a crisis.

1740
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 6: Oh no, it is a crisis, especially if you don't

1741
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:23,280
Speaker 6: wear pajamas, like you know, that's insane.

1742
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,839
Speaker 4: But remember, look, the reason why people took this seriously

1743
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 4: is the Department of Transportation. You might remember this last

1744
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:33,320
Speaker 4: was at last fall and they launched this big campaign

1745
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 4: encouraging people to wear pants and you know, and shoes

1746
01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:41,759
Speaker 4: when they fly. I didn't realize that was a problem.

1747
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1748
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 6: Well, I will say that flying into Memphis is really

1749
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:51,680
Speaker 6: interesting because half the time those ladies aren't wearing they

1750
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 6: need to be in dresses. I will I will give

1751
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:59,280
Speaker 6: the Transportation secretary props on that one. Like, there's a

1752
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:01,720
Speaker 6: lot of scam in and when I say a lot

1753
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 6: of skin exposed, there are some chunky people on those planes,

1754
01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 6: and there's nothing wrong with that, but you've got to

1755
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 6: keep it covering and you got to keep it in

1756
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 6: your seat.

1757
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:12,960
Speaker 4: And some of these people your seat. Yes, you don't

1758
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,919
Speaker 4: want if you've got body fat, you can't.

1759
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:18,960
Speaker 6: Be in C, A, B and E and then d

1760
01:39:19,479 --> 01:39:22,880
Speaker 6: f right, you got you got one seat, you got

1761
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 6: taken it for one to don't be putting.

1762
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:26,400
Speaker 4: It in on my side?

1763
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 15: All right?

1764
01:39:27,200 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 4: Can I come off my soapbox out? That's true, But

1765
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 4: you're a skinny guy. So I'm just I'm just curious.

1766
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,720
Speaker 4: You're a skinny guy. You're saying I get half of

1767
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 4: a you don't take up your whole seat. But I'm wondering,

1768
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:39,760
Speaker 4: are you Have you ever been in a situation where

1769
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:41,960
Speaker 4: you're like and you feel like a double stuff oreo?

1770
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:42,680
Speaker 9: Right?

1771
01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:45,600
Speaker 4: You know you're sandwiched in between doo lardoes.

1772
01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 6: So I let them, I let them pour it on

1773
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,439
Speaker 6: my side. I will let them once in a while,

1774
01:39:54,640 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 6: let the damn break and let.

1775
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 4: Them slid over. But they got they look like a

1776
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 4: canoli that's been over stuffed, right, you know the Italian dessert, right,

1777
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 4: because they got the fat coming out both sides. You

1778
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 4: know what I'm talking about.

1779
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:11,720
Speaker 6: And it typically always comes with an aroma as well.

1780
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:15,760
Speaker 4: Oh it's the stench. Yeah, So let me ask you so,

1781
01:40:15,920 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 4: I mean again, because you say you get cold on

1782
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 4: those flights. Does the body heat because you know it

1783
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:24,760
Speaker 4: does emit a lot of heat. That much tonnage that

1784
01:40:25,160 --> 01:40:28,759
Speaker 4: that that is that is disgusting. But yeah, yeah, people.

1785
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 6: Etiquette in airports, I do think is something that we

1786
01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 6: have gotten away from.

1787
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 4: There is a guy in first you know those first

1788
01:40:36,080 --> 01:40:39,080
Speaker 4: class seats are pretty large. Yeah, there was a fellow

1789
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:42,000
Speaker 4: who came lumbering in to first class and he was

1790
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 4: my seat mate, and he was so large I had

1791
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 4: to get up and get out. So the guy and

1792
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 4: he's still and you know how they have those big,

1793
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:53,639
Speaker 4: huge like dividers like in the first class. I mean

1794
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:57,760
Speaker 4: he had body fat that was pouring over on to

1795
01:40:58,040 --> 01:41:00,960
Speaker 4: where they put the glasses for the doctor Prepper. No,

1796
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 4: when the guy got up, the guy had to get

1797
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 4: up to go use the restroom, and when he rose

1798
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:09,599
Speaker 4: from his seat, there was a blast of hot air.

1799
01:41:10,760 --> 01:41:13,880
Speaker 4: I have never I'm just a goodness. I'm like, oh wow,

1800
01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:19,759
Speaker 4: I had to crank up the ac an inferno. That's nuts.

1801
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 4: So now, now, Tampa International Airporters having said, okay, it

1802
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 4: was a joke. We were trying to be they were

1803
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 4: trying to be light hearted about it. But I don't

1804
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 4: understand why, why can't you ban pajamas. I mean, why

1805
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 4: do people dress like slobs on the airplane.

1806
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 6: Because this is America, and only in America can you

1807
01:41:41,120 --> 01:41:45,960
Speaker 6: dress like slobs at Memphis International or DFW and get

1808
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 6: away with it. You know, these people don't like being told.

1809
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 6: Americans don't like being told. They don't like being told

1810
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:52,679
Speaker 6: what they can eat, what they can eat. They don't

1811
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 6: like when Michelle Obama said you can't eat that, you know,

1812
01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:00,560
Speaker 6: the little debbies. People like their autonomy, you know, And

1813
01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:04,040
Speaker 6: so I think this is probably government overreach once again.

1814
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 4: I know it's a joke, well you know, but still,

1815
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a reminder. I'm just wondering why people

1816
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 4: stopped right because people did used to back in the eighties.

1817
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 4: We were sort of easing up on it.

1818
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:17,840
Speaker 6: You guys didn't wear like the joggers of this swatpants.

1819
01:42:18,120 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 4: No, you would wear like even the children. And I'm

1820
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 4: sure some of our more seasoned listeners will phone in

1821
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 4: because they'll remember those days when you had to even

1822
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 4: the children had to dress up and they had to

1823
01:42:31,479 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 4: you know, be polite. Yeah, here's another by the way,

1824
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:38,240
Speaker 4: nine oh one two six zero five nine two six

1825
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:41,800
Speaker 4: is our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six

1826
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 4: zero five nine two six. A Canadian psychology professor Ben Dieter,

1827
01:42:48,200 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 4: who studies how relationships with pets support healthy development, has

1828
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 4: her own unusual therapy animal. She has an emotional support chicken. Oh.

1829
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:04,880
Speaker 4: Professor Sonya Kong says, quote, I feel like she's so

1830
01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:12,200
Speaker 4: smart she can understand my emotions. The bird is eleven

1831
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:15,799
Speaker 4: month old and his name Saturday, was born on Sunday.

1832
01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 4: The name would be Saturday. Chicken's name is Saturday.

1833
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 13: Oh.

1834
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 4: She was apparently name. She was adopted from a farm

1835
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:26,640
Speaker 4: in British Columbia.

1836
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 6: What happens if she's upset with the emotional support animal

1837
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:33,800
Speaker 6: if it doesn't emotionally support her. If I'm a chicken,

1838
01:43:33,920 --> 01:43:34,840
Speaker 6: I'm running for the back.

1839
01:43:35,280 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 4: I've got a three word answer to that, finger licking

1840
01:43:37,720 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 4: good oh, click, the professor. Don't be a mother clicker.

1841
01:43:45,960 --> 01:43:50,560
Speaker 4: The professor said, quote. When I was sad, she just

1842
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 4: lay there looking at me, you know, trying to figure

1843
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:56,600
Speaker 4: out what was going on. Why are you crying? The

1844
01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 4: chicken wondered, are you doctor Seuss? What's happening here? The

1845
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 4: professor even crafted a special diaper for the chicken so

1846
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 4: it can travel around the city Kong teaches at the

1847
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,639
Speaker 4: University of Northern British Columbia and is researching how pets

1848
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:17,640
Speaker 4: impact the social and emotional development of teens through an

1849
01:44:17,680 --> 01:44:21,840
Speaker 4: online survey. So there you go. So I wonder if

1850
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:25,080
Speaker 4: she's able to get on board get on board an

1851
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 4: airplane with her emotional support chicken.

1852
01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:28,920
Speaker 8: Now.

1853
01:44:29,040 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 4: Professor Kong's parents they're old school. They're still getting used

1854
01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 4: to the idea of their daughter's new pet, and jokingly

1855
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:36,880
Speaker 4: asked if she planned to eat it.

1856
01:44:38,760 --> 01:44:41,600
Speaker 6: You know, the boomer parents are Republicans, and this is

1857
01:44:41,720 --> 01:44:44,160
Speaker 6: absolutely a lefty here's the problem.

1858
01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 4: You know, she shows up with the chicken and they're like, oh,

1859
01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:48,719
Speaker 4: we haven't. We haven't fried chicken for supper.

1860
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,599
Speaker 6: It's like, she don't know. This is the only thing

1861
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,479
Speaker 6: keeping me from bad things.

1862
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 4: She says, this is my this is my pet. So

1863
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 4: there you go. Emotional support chickens, and finally, Ben Teeter

1864
01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 4: this headline from the New York Post, we fart twice

1865
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:11,919
Speaker 4: as much as previously thought. Scientists discover this new information

1866
01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:17,360
Speaker 4: from something called smart underpants. Oh. According to the New

1867
01:45:17,439 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 4: York Post, while breaking wind could help protect against Alzheimer's

1868
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:25,640
Speaker 4: and postpartum depression, Oh God, you're kidding. I can't do that.

1869
01:45:25,880 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 6: This is the case. I'm going straight downstairs and finding

1870
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 6: as many LINEA beans as possible because I'm terrified of Alzheimer's.

1871
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:34,479
Speaker 6: Does lime of beans do it for you? Is that

1872
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:38,680
Speaker 6: what that in taco bell? Oh Jesus, it's the taco bell.

1873
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:42,160
Speaker 6: Every time the beef five layer. I'm gonna be my

1874
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,759
Speaker 6: brain is gonna be living clear forever.

1875
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 4: Wow, all right, all right, scientific to this story. Yeah,

1876
01:45:48,560 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 4: so they're saying that a breaking wind can actually be

1877
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:55,479
Speaker 4: a good thing. Scientists recently discovered that we're passing gas

1878
01:45:55,680 --> 01:45:59,720
Speaker 4: a lot more often than previously thought, thanks to some

1879
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,479
Speaker 4: smarty underpants. So I get what they did there. So

1880
01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 4: according to the research, previous research pinpoint in an average

1881
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:12,839
Speaker 4: of fourteen toots a day. Oh, Dylan, you're above amveras

1882
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 4: than I thought. Well, you're above average very much.

1883
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:18,679
Speaker 5: So my mind is great.

1884
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:24,880
Speaker 4: But researchers at the University of Maryland recently developed technology

1885
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 4: to measure human flagelen's accurately. And it's up and it's

1886
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:33,759
Speaker 4: up to an average of now thirty two farts a day. Wow,

1887
01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:34,800
Speaker 4: that's more like it.

1888
01:46:35,040 --> 01:46:36,720
Speaker 5: You put on your wrist and it shows you like.

1889
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:40,880
Speaker 4: I'm getting to basic. Yeah, so there's an it's an

1890
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 4: effort to understand excessive gastro intestinal issues and gut microbes.

1891
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 4: The team created smart Underwear, a tiny wearable device that

1892
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 4: stamps discreetly onto your underpants. I have questions, many of

1893
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 4: which I cannot ask, so many questions. Electrochemical sensors track

1894
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 4: intestinal gas production and hydrogen around the clock, except when

1895
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:11,439
Speaker 4: the person is on the toilet. Individual rates varied widely,

1896
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 4: with some farting as few as four times a day

1897
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 4: and others up to fifty times a day.

1898
01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:22,519
Speaker 6: Good lord man, But if it's a woman, I don't

1899
01:47:22,520 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 6: think women fart? Do they do they pass gas? I'm

1900
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:27,479
Speaker 6: gonna have to differ there you go.

1901
01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:33,320
Speaker 4: Previous estimates were so much lower due to self reporting issues. Okay,

1902
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:35,200
Speaker 4: now they.

1903
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:37,120
Speaker 6: Were probably embarrassed that they didn't want to self report.

1904
01:47:37,439 --> 01:47:39,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's going to sit there and count the number

1905
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,480
Speaker 4: of times they fart and report that adequately.

1906
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:44,200
Speaker 6: That's what the little machine on your underwear boxers are for.

1907
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:48,919
Speaker 6: So anyway, Yeah, so apparently there are other invasive techniques

1908
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:52,639
Speaker 6: that provided inaccurate data. Pardon man, We've got to took

1909
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 6: a probe. Okay, Yeah, that's not gonna work.

1910
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 4: And also people were unclear about what counted as flatgel.

1911
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 5: That was my question, actually the sylumn but deadly does

1912
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:06,519
Speaker 5: that counter is the only audible ones?

1913
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:10,360
Speaker 4: Fair enough? It's a good question. Oh my gosh. In

1914
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 4: two thousand, doctor Michael Levitt, a gastro intologist known as

1915
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 4: the King of Farts, imagine studying that. Imagine dedicating your

1916
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:23,600
Speaker 4: life to that sole issue. Continue. It is virtually impossible

1917
01:48:23,680 --> 01:48:27,879
Speaker 4: for the physician to objectively document the existence of excessive

1918
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 4: gas using currently available tests. The researchers hope the new

1919
01:48:32,760 --> 01:48:36,519
Speaker 4: technology can provide better insight into what constitutes a normal

1920
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:41,720
Speaker 4: gas range, like the optimal levels spelled out for cholesterol

1921
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:45,200
Speaker 4: and blood pressure. I mean, really do you want? I mean,

1922
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,680
Speaker 4: you know I have to take medicine for high cholesterol,

1923
01:48:47,800 --> 01:48:50,759
Speaker 4: but could you imagine having to get a prescription because

1924
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,920
Speaker 4: you farn't too much? So they're.

1925
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 5: I've never been asked in like a doctor's office, how's

1926
01:48:59,200 --> 01:48:59,719
Speaker 5: your farts?

1927
01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:00,800
Speaker 13: Yeah?

1928
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:02,799
Speaker 5: This is usually haws your poop, which is also.

1929
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:10,760
Speaker 4: Uncomfortable passed any gas Today. Professor Brantley Hall from the

1930
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:15,120
Speaker 4: University of Maryland says, we actually don't know what normal

1931
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 4: Flatulen's production looks like without a baseline, it's hard to

1932
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 4: know when someone's gas production is truly excessive. So there

1933
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 4: you go.

1934
01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 6: Wow, yeah, wow, Now you know that's going to be

1935
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 6: what I'm thinking about all that, and I'm going to

1936
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:32,720
Speaker 6: be tiling them up.

1937
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if people are going to start like counting,

1938
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 4: where do we admit them? Yeah, my goodness, all right,

1939
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:43,280
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen, nine to oh one two six zero

1940
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 4: five nine two six. By the way, you know, we

1941
01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:49,760
Speaker 4: have a lot of haters, so many and you have

1942
01:49:50,120 --> 01:49:52,000
Speaker 4: the most. Do you have a lot of people that

1943
01:49:52,479 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 4: really disliked me? Somebody somebody called me. I've got to

1944
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 4: read this exactly the way it was written. That old

1945
01:49:59,640 --> 01:50:03,519
Speaker 4: touched yards. He's just a he's he's a fussy breeches boy,

1946
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:09,760
Speaker 4: fussy breeches. What is the fussy breeches? Yeah? I think

1947
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:16,080
Speaker 4: you're I think you're complaining about too much fussy breches?

1948
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 4: Is that really what your haters are saying? They are

1949
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 4: calling me that. Oh my gosh, it could be worse.

1950
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:24,799
Speaker 4: It could be they could call me in an excessive

1951
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 4: flangelance person or something.

1952
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:26,640
Speaker 10: I don't know.

1953
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 4: All right, Well, there you go to this segment nine

1954
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 4: oh one two six zero five nine two six Open

1955
01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 4: Line Friday. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right,

1956
01:50:38,960 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 4: let's go right to the phones. Susan in North Georgia,

1957
01:50:43,160 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 4: wt UN. Hey, Susan, what's going on?

1958

Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, thank you so much for that great laugh.

1959
01:50:50,320 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 13: I mean, I didn't think you could beat that chicken

1960
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:56,120
Speaker 13: support segment, but the counting parts just had me laughing

1961
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,760
Speaker 13: all the way home. And I just wanted to say

1962

Speaker 13: thanks for a good laugh. You got a great sense

1963
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:04,639
Speaker 13: of humor, and yeah, choose his strangers in fiction.

1964
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:10,479
Speaker 4: Well, I love that absolutely, Susan. Well, thank you for

1968
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:21,919
Speaker 4: us about Polish farts.

Speaker 9: That's right. Well, I came from I'm Polish descent, and

1970
01:51:27,880 --> 01:51:30,519
Speaker 9: my uncles and aunts were there was sixteen of them

1971
01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 9: from one lady, and they if you didn't if you

1972
01:51:34,920 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 9: didn't fridulate, and if you didn't bop after dinner, they

1973
01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:40,280
Speaker 9: thought that something was wrong with you.

1974
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:41,759
Speaker 13: Really.

1975
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, that was a lots of cabbage. Oh yeah,

1976
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:50,600
Speaker 9: and yeah, And my dad said, when you get to

1977
01:51:50,680 --> 01:51:52,600
Speaker 9: be eighty, which I'm going to be eighties here in

1978
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:55,759
Speaker 9: about a month, that you can fradulate on an elevator

1979
01:51:55,800 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 9: and tell everybody you did it.

1980
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:02,719
Speaker 4: David. That's that's great advice.

1981
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 6: I have something to look forward to.

Speaker 9: elevay I'm going to the tenth for and I'm really

1984
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:14,760
Speaker 9: holding one back that far.
