1
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Well, live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

2
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: It's America's favorite gun total bible clinging, deplorable American.

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: That's us. That's that.

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,360

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 4: Todd starts well day.

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 5: All right, Hello, everybody, welcome, Welcome to the Todd Sterns

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 5: Radio Program. Happy Friday to you. And by the way,

8
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 5: thank you to Mary Walter. I she is one of

9
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: my favorite human beings. We just love Mary. We've known

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 5: each other. Gosh, going this over twenty years. Can you

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 5: believe that? Wow? But Mary did a great job filling

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 5: in yesterday. She had previously I was supposed to be

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 5: at Seapack. That my plans changed, so I was done

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 5: able to get down to Seapak. But I thought, you

15
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 5: know what, I need to take a day off. I

16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 5: got a lot to do. And Dylan, what do I

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 5: do When Todd Starns says he's going to take a

18
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 5: day off? What does that usually mean?

19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: It means you're in our office building, maybe five minutes

20
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: later than usually would be.

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's pretty good, Hirk. So I was downstairs.

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 5: We have a multi level broadcast bunker here and I

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 5: was in the lower level of the bunker, but it

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: sounded a great, great show. Thank you, Mary, Dylan needed

25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 5: a nice job.

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: That's kind of a star. You were second.

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: But now the carriages turned back into a pumpkin. So anyway,

28
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 5: and thank you guys for being so kind to Mary.

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 5: She has a great podcast, and of course you see

30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 5: her now on Newsmax. She's a Newsmax contributor, so we

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: love seeing her around the Newsmax building. So look, let's

32
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 5: talk about what happened in the wee hours of the morning.

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 5: And I've got a lot to say about this. By

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 5: the way, this is open line Friday, so you get

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 5: to call in and talk about whatever is on your mind.

36
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: I want you to write down our number. We have

37
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: all usually on Fridays, we have a lot of calls

38
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: and we do our best to get to everybody, but

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 5: you need to call in early. Nine oh one two

40
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: six zero five nine two six. That's nine oh one

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six. Now, look, here's

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 5: the deal. Senate Republicans sort of had the Democrats by

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 5: their private parts on this funding bill, and all the

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: Republicans had to do was stand their ground. That's it.

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: Everybody is now blaming the Democrats up until this point,

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: everybody had been blaming the Democrats for these long lines

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 5: at TSA checkpoints the fact that Democrats, by not funding

48
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 5: homeland security putting all of us in grave danger. And

49
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: the American people understood what was going on. They understood

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 5: that it wasn't the Republicans, it was the Democrats. Well,

51
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 5: in the wee hours of the morar, Senate Majority Leader

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: John Thune decided to throw in the towel and capitulate.

53
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 5: And I know you're going to hear a lot of

54
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: spin coming from Senate Republicans. Don't believe any of it, folks.

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 5: This is really an abomination what happened. And I've outlined

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 5: a few things. First of all, and by the way,

57
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 5: someone just shared this with me that Senate Majority Leader

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: John Thune has now left Washington with a private escort

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 5: through the airport. So while all the rest of you

60
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: are standing in line, the Majority leader is on his

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 5: way out of town with his private escort. This is unacceptable,

62
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: just unacceptable. Now, I want to share a few things,

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 5: and I've been posting a lot on social media about this,

64
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 5: because all of this happened at two am while you

65
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 5: were sleeping, and that's all you need to know. Whenever

66
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 5: Senate Republicans do something after after working hours, say after

67
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: six or seven o'clock at night, it is always bad

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 5: for the American people. That's just the way it is.

69
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: So I don't want you to listen to any of

70
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 5: the spin because the Democrats got everything they wanted. Chucky

71
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: Schumer is out there celebrating because this was a massive

72
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: victory for the Democrats. John Thun handed the Democrats a

73
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 5: huge victory, and you, the American voters, well, wait, you're

74
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 5: getting holds. You're getting screwed. And that was the reason

75
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 5: why John Thun scheduled this vote while the nation was asleep,

76
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: because he wanted to give the senators time, a Republican

77
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: senator's time to skip out of town before voters woke

78
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: up and discovered what had happened. So here's the deal

79
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 5: Homeland Security is, they're gonna they're gonna fund TSA. And

80
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 5: that was the sticking point because TSA impacts the average

81
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 5: American citizen, right, So that was that was really the

82
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 5: that was the pivot point here and now that's off

83
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: the table. That's gone. Also, just so you're aware that

84
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: the Republican senators left Washington without doing anything about the

85
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 5: Save America Act. So, by the way, the House now

86
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: has to deal with this, and the question is exactly

87
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: how is the House going to respond? I know Speaker

88
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 5: Mike Johnson was enraged yesterday about this and he's really

89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: upset now here is the Speaker just a few moments ago.

90
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 5: Is one of these walk and talk things. Take a listen.

91
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 6: You get all number theeters shtners this morning about it's

92
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 6: infuriating that Democrats are willing to play a hate on

93
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 6: the American people simply so they can defund the agency

94
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 6: that is responsible literally through who can.

95
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: Come out illegal aliens.

96
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I mean, Johnson's like, dude, what do you

97
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: people do? What are you Republicans doing to us here?

98
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 5: So the question now is will the House Republicans go

99
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 5: along with what Majority Leader Thune did. Now, you have

100
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 5: a right to be upset about this. The question is

101
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: we've all been down and this is nothing new. We've

102
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 5: all sort of been down this road before when it

103
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: comes to the Republicans, and at some point you have

104
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: to ask yourself is it worth it? I mean, do

105
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 5: we I know Kevin Kylie's running as an independent. You've

106
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: got a few folks that are independents, and I think

107
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 5: Kylie is going to Caucus with his old party. He

108
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 5: was a Republican out in southern California and he's going

109
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 5: to be running as an independent for Congress again. At

110
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 5: some point, do you say, you know what, this is

111
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 5: not worth it when you look at what, for example,

112
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 5: the Republicans have done to the good conservative people of

113
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 5: North Carolina just every single time they betray you guys.

114
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,559
Speaker 5: I mean, right now, the new head of the RNC

115
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 5: is completely worthless, completely worth us, and I am afraid

116
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: we are going to be looking at really a disaster

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: in the midterms unless this gets all sorted out. I

118
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 5: believe we're going to be talking to Congressman John Rose

119
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: out of Tennessee. He is furious about what the Senate

120
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 5: Republicans have done here. And we'll also be talking to

121
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: Josh Jones. Normally we talked to Josh on Tuesdays. I

122
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 5: wanted to bring him back in because we've got to

123
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 5: figure out the political implications of all of this. So

124
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 5: I've come up with some ideas and I want to

125
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: hear your thoughts on this. I believe that we can

126
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 5: salvage something here, but this is what's going to have

127
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 5: to happen. Republicans are going to have to get right

128
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: back on those airplanes and come back to Washington. They're

129
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 5: going to have to convene, and they're going to have

130
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: to remove John Thune from his leadership position. As a

131
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 5: matter of fact, I'll go a step further. Any republic

132
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 5: any Senate Republican leader, has to be removed, and we've

133
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: got to get new leadership in there. You know what,

134
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 5: why not put jd Vance in charge? Why can't we

135
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 5: let jd Vance which, by the way, he would be

136
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 5: allowed to do. Let jd Vance be the majority leader

137
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 5: of the Republican Party and just cram the President's agenda

138
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: through the Senate. Because right now the Senate, the Republican

139
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 5: controlled Senate, is politically constipated. I mean, they are backed up,

140
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 5: and we have got to do something to unclog the

141
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: Republicans so that they can that they can get the

142
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 5: President's agenda to the President's desk. And I believe so,

143
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 5: and I no, those are not just the only ones

144
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: I've got to go through. I've got a list here,

145
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: a list here, Dylan, so bear with me. So we

146
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 5: remove Majority leader Thoon, we install an American first majority leader,

147
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 5: whether that be Jdvans or somebody else, then immediately vote

148
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 5: to nuke the felibuster, pass the Save America Act, confirm

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: the president's nominees, publicly apologize to the American people, and

150
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: then publicly apologize to President Donald J. Trump. I believe

151
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: if they can do those things, it might possibly salvage

152
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 5: all of this for the midterm elections. Otherwise, I think

153
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: we are going to watch the base of the party

154
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 5: not vote Democrat, but just stay home. And I've been

155
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: warning you about this for weeks now, and I'm preparing

156
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 5: you because you know there's been a lot of and look,

157
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 5: I'm a hopeful person, and there's still a chance to

158
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: turn this all around. But what happens if we find

159
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 5: out that our Republican leaders don't want to turn around,

160
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 5: that they don't want to change that Ultimately, the bottom

161
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 5: line here, The goal here was to ultimately sabotage and

162
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 5: stop the president's agenda. And one of the ways they

163
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 5: can do that and do it very effectively, is to

164
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: stop the agenda in the Senate. And that's basically what

165
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 5: they've done here. Chuck Schumer is over joyed today and

166
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: he ought to be. How do you this is? It's

167
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 5: it's sheer insanity, sheer insanity. But I got to tell

168
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: you something these I'll read this to you. This is

169
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 5: a statement from Schumer in the wake of the any

170
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 5: any hold on? Let me let me scroll down. Here,

171
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 5: here we go, Democrats. Democrats held firm in our opposition

172
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 5: that Donald Trump's rogue and deadly militia should not get

173
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 5: more funding without serious reforms, and we continue to fight

174
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 5: for those reforms. I'm very proud of our Democrat Caucus.

175
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 5: Through it all, Senate Democrats stood united, no wavering, no

176
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 5: backing down. We held the line and they did. They

177
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 5: absolutely did, and I hate that. I hate that they did.

178
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 5: But that's who the Democrats are. They will fight for

179
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 5: their whatever they believe in, they will fight for. But

180
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 5: we don't have fighters up on Capitol Health. And it

181
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 5: angered me when I saw the and by the way,

182
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 5: many of the Senate Republicans as they were running away

183
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: like rats on a sinking ship, and they had their

184
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 5: little private security escorts as they were whisked through the airports.

185
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 5: They know what they did. And honestly, I think we

186
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 5: ought to. I think every single Republican ought to be primaried.

187
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 5: And you know why I say that, I'm sorry, aside

188
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 5: from Rand Paul, Where's Ted Cruz, Where's Josh Hawley, Where's

189
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 5: Bill Haggerty? Where Marshall BlackBerry? Why aren't all these people

190
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 5: out there condemning the leader? And that's my point is

191
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 5: they're all guilty. That's all of them. People are No, No, Todd,

192
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 5: you don't mean all of them. No, I do mean

193
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 5: all of them. Because if you've got a majority leader

194
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: that's going to stand up there and stick it to

195
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 5: the American people, you have an obligation, not to your party,

196
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 5: you have an obligation to your constituents to get out

197
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: there and say, wait a second, hold up, This is

198
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: not why we were given control of the Senate, This

199
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 5: is not the president's this is not what the president

200
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 5: wanted us to do. We are here to stand up

201
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 5: for our president, the leader of our party, and more importantly,

202
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 5: we're here to defend the constituents and their desires. We

203
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 5: send them to Washington do something, and they're just not

204
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: doing it. But again, nobody, nobody's condemning. The only people

205
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 5: attacking John Thune are coming out of the House of Representatives.

206
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 5: Of course, here is some sort of a new rule

207
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: going into effect him many Republican state parties and local

208
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: parties that if you say something ill about a fellow Republican,

209
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: you can actually be removed from the party. To that,

210
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: I say, great, just you know what, here's my membership,

211
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: here's my membership card. Burn, baby burn, because any sort

212
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: of a party that doesn't allow for healthy debates is

213
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 5: not a party that I want to be a part of.

214
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: All Right, we've got a lot. I've got a lot

248
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: you before I give out the number. A Congressman, Andy Ogles,

249
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 5: actually just shared my list of things that the Senate

250
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: needs to do. But Ogles says that they are going

251
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: to they are going to add in so they've got

252
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 5: to vote on this. They're about to send this legislation

253
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: right back to the Senate and they're adding an ice

254
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: funding voter ID. Those are the two things they're going

255
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: to add back in and send it back to the Senate.

256
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: But Ogles is really fired up about this, and I

257
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 5: appreciate him sending, you know, sharing my my information, but

258
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 5: anyway will and we'll get his audio in just a

259
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 5: moment what he had to say. But I want you

260
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: to write down this telephone number two O two two

261
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: two four thirty one twenty one. That's two O two

262
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: two two four thirty one twenty one. You need to

263
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 5: do two things. First of all, you need to call

264
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 5: your congress person and tell them do not do not

265
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: pass what the Senate just sent over. And then the

266
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 5: second thing you need to do is you need to

267
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: connect yourself with your senator's office and you need to

268
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: give them a piece of your mind. It needs to be,

269
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 5: and again very polite, but you need to have a

270
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: come to Jesus meeting with those folks, every single person

271
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: in that If we do that, we will We're gonna

272
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 5: break the phone system they're at the Capitol. But we've

273
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 5: got to do this, folks, we have to do it.

274
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 5: This is one of those moments where we are going

275
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 5: to have to wield a mighty big voice and force

276
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 5: these Republicans to do the right thing. Here's Congressman Ogles.

277
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 7: So what the Senate did last night was they passed

278
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 7: a bill that did not fully fund the government, meaning

279
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 7: Child Sex Trafficking Investigation Unit isn't funded. They didn't fully

280
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 7: fund homeland security. So we're focused on amending the bill

281
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 7: and putting that back in and we're going to add

282
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 7: in voter ID.

283
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: In the process.

284
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 7: They're cowardly, they didn't do their job, and now they

285
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 7: left town.

286
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: They should come back and they should have to.

287
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: Do their job.

288
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

289
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 5: Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I'm getting some new

290
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 5: intel right now. It's my understanding that the Speaker of

291
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 5: the House is furious along with the House Republican Whip

292
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: Tom Emmer and the Senate may have to come back here.

293
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 5: They may have to come back. Uh, we'll We've got

294
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 5: some audio and we'll play that coming up after the break.

295
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 5: Tom Emmer on Fox just a few moments ago, he

296
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 5: said what the Senate did was not right. We're gonna

297
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 5: make sure that the porter is funded. We're not going

298
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: to allow a radical anarchist or socialist Marxist to create

299
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 5: an open border situation again, and Emmer says, this is

300
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: a very dangerous precedent. So I'm just curious, ladies and gentlemen,

301
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: what is your solution here? Do we need to demand?

302
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 5: Do you believe that John Thune needs to be removed?

303
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 5: Does President Trump need to step in here? Nine oh

304
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 5: one two six zero five nine two six is our

305
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 5: telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five

306
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 5: nine two six. Coming up, we're gonna be talking to

307
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 5: Congressman John Rose. He is on deck. A little bit

308
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: later on, Joe Messina is going to join us, and

309
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 5: also Parker May is going to drop by for a

310
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: look at March madness. Lord knows, we got a lot

311
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 5: of madness up on Capitol Hill right now. Also votes

312
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: Todd Stearns dot Com is our website, and I want

313
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: you to go and check out all of the great

314
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 5: content we have for you there. Again, I want to

315
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 5: share this number. Call the Capital switchboard two O two

316
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 5: two two four thirty one twenty one, and you give

317
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: those lawmakers a piece of your mind of America. We'll be

318
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: run im packed.

319
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 8: Everybody.

320
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 9: Well, actually, I'll start out with our speaker is very unhappy.

321
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 9: I'm not happy our whole leadership group. What the Senate

322
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 9: did was frankly not right. We are going to make

323
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 9: sure that border is funding. This is about making sure

324
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 9: that President Trump's number one part promise was that the

325
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 9: border was going to be secure. He's accomplished with Republican leadership.

326
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: Incredible things.

327
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: Southern border.

328
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 9: It has never been as tight as it is right now.

329
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 9: But we are not going to allow these radical anarchist,

330
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 9: Marxist socialist Democrats to literally stop or create an open

331
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 9: border situation again like we experienced under Joe Biden and

332
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 9: Kamala Harris. And we're going to make sure that we

333
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 9: continued to deport criminal, illegal aliens. This is what Americans want.

334
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: If there's a no vote in the House today, does

335
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: that mean that the Senate has to come back to

336
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: do it all over again, the House.

337
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 9: Will have a solution. That's as much as I can

338
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 9: tell you. There'll be more on that very shortly. I

339
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 9: think the leadership team with a speaker has been working

340
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 9: through this.

341
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 5: Again.

342
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 9: They did this at three in the morning, Stuart. Instead

343
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 9: of doing it in the light of day when all

344
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 9: of American could watch what's going on. They did this

345
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 9: procedural move early in the morning. By the way, it

346
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 9: sets dangerous precedents going forward. If you could take appropriations

347
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 9: bills and start to take out pieces that you don't like,

348
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 9: this will never end.

349
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: So we're working through it in the House.

350
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 9: We will have a solution and the Speaker will announce it,

351
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 9: hopefully within the next hour or so.

352
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: All right, and we will let you know when that happens.

353
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 5: By the way, that was the Republican whip Tom Emmers.

354
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 5: I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line,

355
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 5: say hello to our good friend Congressman John Rose from Tennessee.

356
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 5: And Congressman Rose also running to the next governor of Tennessee.

357
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: And we'll ask him about that in just a moment.

358
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: But Congressman, want to get your reaction to what the

359
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 5: Senate did in the wee hours of the morning.

360
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 10: Well, good afternoon, pod, thanks for having me, or good morning,

361
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 10: I guess where you are, thanks for having me on

362
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 10: the show today. And gosh, just kind of a gut punch,

363
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 10: frankly by the Senate to kind of capitulate it and

364
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 10: then leave.

365
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 5: Town in the dark of night. The congressman, I've always said,

366
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 5: nothing good ever happens in Washington, d C. After ten

367
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 5: o'clock at night, and clearly that was the case here.

368
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 5: My question is, what are you guys going to do

369
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 5: about it. We're hearing a lot of different reports coming

370
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 5: out of the House that this is a non starter.

371
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 10: What say you, Well, I think it should be. I think,

372
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 10: first of all, we should not capitulate to the Democrats

373
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 10: on their agenda to defund the police, in this case

374
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 10: EIST and customs and border protection. We know far too

375
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 10: well how that goes and how that ends, and that's

376
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 10: not what the American people voted for in twenty twenty

377
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 10: four when they gave us the majority in the House

378
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 10: and the Senate re elected President Trump. So we should

379
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 10: not do that, in my opinion, and I think we

380
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 10: have them on the ropes, and so that's why it's

381
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 10: so disappointing. To see the Senate leave town. And then secondly,

382
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 10: we should not be letting the Senate get off the

383
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 10: hook with the Save America. And so it's disappointing to

384
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 10: see them rush to get out of town and bypass

385
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 10: security in the process.

386
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 5: Boy, they sure did, didn't they. And I've seen there's

387
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: been a lot of video of senators that are just

388
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 5: literally bypassing. First of all, I didn't think they were

389
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 5: going to be able to do that, but they clearly are.

390
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: Everybody else has to wait in line, but these senators

391
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 5: are able to walk right into those airplanes.

392
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 10: Rules for me but not for me, right, Yeah.

393
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 5: It sure looks like it. It sure looks like it.

394
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 5: A congressman, I shared something a little while ago. I

395
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 5: know several lawmakers your colleagues have been sharing this on

396
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 5: x I'm concerned here. I am concerned that what the

397
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 5: Senate did today could very well spell disaster for the

398
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: party in the midterms. First of all, do you share

399
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: that concern.

400
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: Very much?

401
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 10: I do, And you know, I don't think it is

402
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 10: the right answer, because I do think the Democrats are

403
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 10: responsible for this ultimately, and I don't think they offer

404
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 10: a better pass forward in terms of governance. Of this country.

405
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 10: But as we've seen in the past, the Republican electric frankly,

406
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 10: will hold Republicans to account for failing to get the

407
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 10: job done. And it's hard to argue with that at

408
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 10: some level. I mean, obviously I would argue better us

409
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 10: than them to be in charge, because we know what

410
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 10: we get when they're in charge, and it is horrendous.

411
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 10: We saw that during the Biden years. So you know,

412
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 10: I would appeal to the American people to hold Republicans

413
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 10: feet to the fire, you know, keep Republicans in the

414
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 10: majority to support the president if we don't do it.

415
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 5: But they're not doing that. No, Congressman, they're not doing that.

416
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: That's I mean, this is why you and I are

417
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 5: so upset right now, is that John Thune is blocking

418
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 5: the president's agenda.

419
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 10: He is indeed, he is indeed, But it can be worse.

420
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 10: And I think that's the appeal that I would make,

421
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 10: is it can be worse. Now we should wear them

422
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 10: out here, we should. I think you're right, we should

423
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 10: call on Food to step beside and let someone who

424
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 10: will carry the flag take over and lead the Senate.

425
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 10: Because Food is not getting the job done. He is

426
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 10: not willing to make the hard, tough calls here and

427
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 10: take the chances that are necessary to demonstrate to the

428
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 10: American people that Republicans actually will take up the range

429
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 10: of leadership and lead this country and get the President's

430
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 10: agenda put in place and save the Republic frankly by

431
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 10: passing to Save America Act.

432
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 5: So you are, in addition to being a congressman, you're

433
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 5: also a constituent. You have two senators that represent you

434
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 5: in the US Senate from Tennessee. Why aren't we hearing anybody?

435
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 5: I hear all these people saying, you know what, no,

436
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 5: we stand with the president, we want all this to happen.

437
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: But I don't hear anybody calling out John Thun in

438
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 5: the US Senate right now, not a one.

439
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 10: I think that's been extraordinary, the silnce. It has been deafening.

440
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 10: As they say, you know, they talk a mean game

441
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 10: and social media and they talk a mean game when

442
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 10: they're back in Tennessee. Recently heard the Senator Blackman's stay

443
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 10: she's part of a cabal. I think it was maybe

444
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 10: a misstatement. She said she's part of a cabal that's

445
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 10: going to go in Act to Save America Act. Well,

446
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 10: that didn't work out. So well, and so we should

447
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 10: hold them accountable, and they should be holding their leader accountable.

448
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 10: You know, I know they like to talk about how

449
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 10: the Senate is, you know, a more sophisticated place, but

450
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 10: they've got to get the job done, and they're not

451
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 10: getting the job done, and they need to take the

452
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 10: gloves off and punch hard and demand that leader Foon

453
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 10: actually provide the leadership that gets the job done.

454
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 5: Here are Patriot we well news maker line. We've got

455
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 5: Tennessee Congressman John Rose joining us today. A congressman, what

456
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 5: is the what's the game plan here? I understand, I

457
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: know the speaker certainly appears to be really upset about

458
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 5: all of this. Do you believe we're going to see

459
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 5: any sort of action today? What can you tell us?

460
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 10: Well, so we're actually having a conference call of the

461
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 10: House Republican conference just before this interview started. And so

462
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 10: what at least one of the proposed pass forward pass

463
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 10: forward is for the House to offer a continuing resolution

464
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 10: that would that would get DHS back in operation and

465
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 10: then force the Senate to come back and respond to that.

466
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 10: And uh, and so they would be getting back on

467
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 10: planes and headed back into Washington, presumably over the weekend

468
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 10: or by Monday if that, if that moved forward, there

469
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 10: is considerable angst and disappointment and frustration in the Republican conference.

470
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 10: No one is happy. There are a few people who

471
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 10: think we should just rubber stamp the Senate action and

472
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 10: move forward, but I think that's the minority view at

473
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 10: this point. The question is, you know, can how quickly

474
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 10: can we turn something around? And then will the Senate

475
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 10: Will they sit on their hands at home for Easter

476
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 10: recess or Easter break, or will they get back into

477
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 10: town and get it and get the government reopened. As

478
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 10: you know, we've voted multiple times now to fund fully

479
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 10: fund the government, the fully fund DHS. It's the Senate

480
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 10: that's been failing to get the job done, and it's

481
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 10: the Democrats in the Senate who have repeatedly stood in

482
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 10: the way. So we should not lose sight of that

483
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 10: that the Senate, the Senate Democrats, are the are the

484
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 10: obstacles to funding DHS. They're responsible for the long lines

485
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 10: at the airports. It is Senate Democrats who are responsible

486
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 10: for TSA agents going weeks without pay. It is Senate

487
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 10: Democrats who are responsible for using the American people as

488
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 10: leveraged to protect criminal, illegal aliens, and we should not

489
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 10: let anyone lose sight of that fact. It is the

490
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 10: Senate Democrats, now there's bassment. You know, all but one

491
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 10: of the House Democrats I think have voted to this

492
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 10: repeatedly as well, So we shouldn't give them a pass.

493
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 10: It's just that it's good of Democrats that are blocking

494
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 10: this from getting put into law and funding these things,

495
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 10: and they've essentially gotten away with it at this point,

496
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 10: if we let this stand and.

497
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 5: Again going back to and you're right, everything you said

498
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 5: is absolutely right. And yet because of what the major

499
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: I don't understand why the majority leader did that. He

500
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 5: gave up the moral high ground here and he did

501
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: not have to do it. I think that's one of

502
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 5: the things that really frustrates me and the Save America Act.

503
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: This is so crucial, Congressman, to ensuring that we have

504
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: fair elections and the Democrats can't steal any more elections.

505
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 10: There's no question that that's true, and we have ample

506
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 10: evidence going all the way back of course to twenty

507
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 10: twenty and even before. But we all remember what happened

508
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 10: in twenty twenty. The Democrats got by with stealing that election.

509
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 10: They've can to do that, they will continue to do

510
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 10: it as long as we let them get by with it. Obviously,

511
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 10: since twenty twenty, President Biden presided over letting something in

512
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 10: an order of fifteen to thirty million more illegals than

513
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 10: into the country. The Democrats are determined to steal elections,

514
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 10: to cheap and use illegal aliens as pawns, to take

515
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 10: away the vote, the right to vote from the American

516
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 10: people and to have a fair vote. And while we

517
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 10: do better in Tennessee than most of the country, we're

518
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 10: still not perfect. And it really doesn't matter because if

519
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 10: Democrats are able to steal the election in other states,

520
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 10: then they diminish and dilute the votes of Tennessee and

521
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 10: in a way that impacts the future of the Republic.

522
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: Well, they certainly can. And a Congressman, real quick, I

523
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 5: know we have a lot of listeners across the volunteer state.

524
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: You're wanting to be the next governor, and of course

525
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 5: a huge primary battle, and again you're you've got to

526
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 5: Monty Fritz, who's a state representative, and Marshall Blackburn, who

527
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 5: is leaving the Senate to be the next governor. Why

528
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 5: are you the right man for that job.

529
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 10: Well, and now I'll just start by saying, you know,

530
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 10: obviously Senator Bifriend will stay in the Senate if she's

531
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 10: not elected governor, so Tennessee can have it both ways.

532
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 10: They can hold her to do the job that she

533
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 10: hired on to do and hired me to be the

534
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 10: next governor. But to answer your question, the job of

535
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 10: being governor is the job of being CEO of Tennessee,

536
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 10: of leading our state, and I have that kind of experience.

537
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 10: I will tell you the experience I've gotten in Congress

538
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 10: has been interesting, but it's not really relevant experience for

539
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 10: the job at hand. And neither of my opponents have

540
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 10: that experience, frankly, and so it really comes down to that,

541
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 10: do you want a career legislator or someone who doesn't

542
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 10: have the experience of leading a large organization, or do

543
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 10: you want someone who's already learned how to do that,

544
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 10: is ready to go to a job on go to

545
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 10: work on day one and do the job, roll up

546
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 10: their sleeves and not have to have on the job training.

547
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 10: I've seen that happen a lot. I experienced that on

548
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 10: my own dome, building my own businesses. I learned on

549
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 10: the job. But I've now got that experience, and so

550
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 10: I'm ready to go to work for Tennessee and on

551
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 10: day one.

552
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 5: All right, well, Congressman, we're going to leave it there.

553
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 5: I know you've got a very busy Friday ahead of you,

554
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 5: and we certainly appreciate you coming on the show.

555
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 10: Thank you, Todd. Keep up the good work. I appreciate

556
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 10: your advocacy on these important, critical issues for the future

557
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 10: of our country.

558
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 5: Well, we just we love America, Congressman, and we want

559
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 5: to make it where. By the way, I did see

560
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 5: you Monday, but you had all these reporters around you,

561
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: and I didn't want to interrupt the Q and A.

562
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 5: But it was good to see you from a distance

563
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 5: in Memphis the other day.

564
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 10: Very good to see you, Todd, and please interrupt. I

565
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 10: would have loved to visit with you.

Speaker 5: able to get that information as well. All right, let's

586
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 5: go to the phone lines here. Charles in North Carolina

587
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 5: WSIIC our great affiliate garls. What's on your mind?

588
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 11: So, Todd, there's only one option left to pass the

589
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 11: sayback and one option And I called Senator Mike Lee's

590
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 11: office this morning. I was able to get through and

591
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 11: talk to one of his assistants to see if she

592
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 11: could relay what I'm getting ready to tell you to

593
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 11: the Senator. But in the Constitution, Article two, section three

594
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 11: allows the President to call an emergency session of Congress

595
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 11: either one House or both houses. And I think what

596
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 11: needs to happen is President Trump needs to call for

597
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 11: an emergency station of Congress for the Senate and demand

598
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 11: the passage of the Save Act. He needs to get

599
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 11: Chuck Schumer and John Thune in the Oval office, just

600
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 11: like he did Schumer in Pelosi years ago. And he

601
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 11: needs to say not only do I demand you passed

602
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 11: the Save Ack, but the American people demand.

603
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 12: You passed the Stayback.

604
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 11: Over eighty percent support Republicans, Democrats, and independents, And Todd,

605
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 11: We've come a long way in ten years. A lot

606
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 11: has happened since Donald Trump was first elected twenty sixteen.

607
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 11: The Lawfair trying to bankrupt demand throwing him in jail,

608
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 11: the stealing of the twenty twenty election, the invasion of

609
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 11: twenty million people, two assassination attempts, and we know that

610
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 11: the Democrats are trying to spread these illegals across the

611
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 11: country to increase their electoral power in the House and Senate.

612
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 11: And you know, I feel like Todd, we've gotten a

613
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 11: beachhead in twenty twenty four when Trump won. But now

614
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 11: we're giving it up. But Trump needs to he needs

615
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 11: to invokee that the cost Article two, section three, because

616
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 11: if not, we're gonna lose not only lose the midterms,

617
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 11: we're gonna lose twenty eight and Republicans will never win again.

618
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 11: And there's just no other option right now.

619
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 5: I mean, what do you think, Well, we're running out

620
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 5: of options, and this may be it. I'm anxious to

621
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: see what the Speaker's coming up with, and the Speaker's

622
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 5: pretty enraged over all of this. So I think we're

623
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 5: going to see some movement there on a Speaker Johnson's side,

624
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 5: which would require this Senate to come back. But I

625
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 5: like this idea, and maybe this is because you're right.

626
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 5: I mean, look, even if they even if they came back,

627
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: they're not touching the Save Act. John Thune's made that

628
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 5: extraordinarily clear to the American people that he doesn't care

629
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 5: what the polling data says. Whoever is whoever is funding

630
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: his retirement accounts, they don't want that to pass. And

631
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 5: so's that's what we're what we're dealing with here. So yeah,

632
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 5: I like this idea, and you're right under extraordinary circumstances,

633
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 5: the President can call for a joint session of con

634
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 5: and or you know, either the House or the Senate

635
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 5: or both. I would consider doing both, and I would

636
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 5: consider doing it very quickly, because we have got to

637
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 5: secure our elections. Charles, I don't know about you, and

638
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 5: we're ramping up this hour of the show. I don't

639
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 5: know about you, but for me, this is the most

640
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 5: pressing issue of the day now. I don't want nuclear

641
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 5: clouds over any of our American cities. And I'm glad

642
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 5: we're taking care of whatever we're taken care of over

643
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 5: in Iran. But domestically speaking, this, the Save America Act,

644
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 5: is the most important thing our elected leaders should be

645
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 5: focused on, and they're not doing it. They're simply not

646
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 5: doing it. All right, We got to take a break here,

647
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 5: Open line Friday. Nine oh one two six zero five

648

00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

653
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: common sense conservative commentary from Todd Stars.

654
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 5: Samaritan and hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

655
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 5: Great to have you with us on this Friday edition

656
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 5: of the program. By the way, today is open line Friday,

657
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 5: which means you get to talk about whatever you want

658
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 5: to talk about today. Write down our telephone number nine

659
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 5: oh one two six zero five, nine two six. That's

660
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 5: nine oh one two six zero to six. By the way,

661
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 5: we just had a terrific meeting with our marketing team,

662
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 5: the publisher of my new book. It'll be out in May.

663
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 5: It's called The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, and

664
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 5: they are really going big time when it comes to

665
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 5: promoting the book and the message of the book. Not

666
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 5: only the book is about celebrating what Trump did for America,

667
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 5: but also explaining how we can carry the torch into

668
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 5: the next generation. And it really is for such a

669
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: time as this book and I want you to get

670
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 5: a pre ordered copy of it, and you can do

671
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 5: that at your favorite bookstore. We're encouraging you to get

672
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 5: them at Barnes and Noble or Books a Million Amazon

673
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 5: to help us so that we have a good idea

674
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 5: of pre orders. And the reason why is my last

675
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 5: book that came out. I guess it was so successful

676
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 5: they ran out of books like the Third Day and

677
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 5: books tours around the countries. So we want to make

678
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 5: sure that everybody gets a copy of this. And also

679
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 5: we have been getting some questions about people ordering ordering

680
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 5: the book in bulk. So if you're wanting you know, five, ten,

681
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 5: twenty copies or more, we're going to be able to

682
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 5: help you with that because a lot of book clubs

683
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: and churches and political groups are wanting to purchase bulk orders. Now,

684
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 5: if that is you, and if you're interested, we want

685
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 5: you to give us a call so we can get

686
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 5: your information. That number is nine oh one two six

687
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 5: zero five nine two six, and the lovely miss Helen

688
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: will get our get your information again, nine oh one

689
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 5: two six zero five nine two six. And that's if

690
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 5: you're looking at ordering in bulk, so multiple copies of

691
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 5: I think it's like five, five or ten and one up.

692
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 5: So we've got special discounts and things of that nature.

693
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 5: All right. By the way, before we go to Josh,

694
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 5: we posted about the book because speaker Mike Johnson has

695
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 5: official endorsed the book, and I want to read what

696
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 5: the speaker wrote. And then We've already had people responding

697
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,959
Speaker 5: to this on social media. This is what Speaker Johnson said,

698
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 5: As President Trump leads our nation into its Golden Age,

699
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 5: Todd Stearns has delivered a powerful and timely book that

700
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 5: challenges us to be that shining city on a hill.

701
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 5: Read and share this with friends and family who believe

702
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 5: in America and want to help keep our extraordinary republic.

703
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 5: And that is coming from our Speaker of the House,

704
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 5: and very thankful for Mike Johnson and his kind words

705
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 5: about the book. And that has led Dylan to an

706
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 5: avalanche of bail. So let's go to the mailbag. This

707
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 5: is coming from Jim Todd. You vile little toady. Did

708
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 5: you write this before, during, or after you had your

709
00:41:53,520 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 5: nose and his anus? Oh? My, johnsh writing And no

710
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 5: one is buying this garbage. Bro Gen x Gen says,

711
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 5: I don't buy propaganda. No thanks. Miss Aswall says, this

712
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 5: sounds like poop. I think what she meant to say,

713
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 5: Dylan was that it smells like poop, because it's not.

714
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 5: It doesn't sound like poop. It's the Golden Age that

715
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 5: sounds nothing like poop.

716
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 3: Poop has a sound too, though, I mean, yeah.

717
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but that's not what that that you don't

718
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 5: get Golden age out of missed it? Yeah, exactly. The

719
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 5: real Newtson says that the Golden Age starts with a

720
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 5: war and insolvent tet price is spiking everywhere, rising unemployment,

721
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 5: isolating from Allied countries, and a president manipulating markets for

722
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 5: his own gain. There's many, many more, but what an

723
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 5: odd way to start a golden age. Now, whatever gets

724
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 5: you up in the morning, there.

725
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: Neot.

726
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 5: Jp Ready, I'm happy to scroll down some of the

727
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 5: ones I cannot repeat on air. JP Ready writes, hah

728
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 5: ha ha ha ha ha ha hilarious. Well, actually it

729
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 5: is a I mean there are parts of the books

730
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 5: that are incredibly funny. So there you you know, we

731
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 5: ought to put some of these on the back cover tell.

732
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 3: Them not a bad idea.

733
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 5: I mean that might it might really sell a few

734
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: extra copies.

735
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 13: You never know.

736
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 3: I like the book cover. It looks really snazzy.

737
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 5: It that whole like, you know, great, can't it is

738
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 5: the roaring twenties. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker

739
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 5: line say he lo to our good friend Josh Jones, Josh,

740
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 5: that wasn't you writing that that it smells like poopos.

741
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 5: Thank you for that. I appreciate it, appreciate it. So anyway,

742
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 5: So anyway, folks get a copy of the book and

743
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 5: you can do that wherever you buy your books. So, Josh,

744
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: we normally have you on on Thursday or Tuesday. We're

745
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 5: double dipping. And it just seems like there is sheer

746
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 5: chaos happening right now in Washington, d C. And a

747
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 5: lot of people are fired up and angry at at

748
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 5: John Thune.

749
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you do see it, like particularly on the

750
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 12: Hill and the House, you know, since those members are

751
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 12: a little bit more free to say what they're what's

752
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 12: actually on their minds, given that they don't answer to

753
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 12: the leadership in the Senate. Yeah, there's a lot of

754
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,479
Speaker 12: people of stat of John Suhne currently up on the Hill.

755
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 5: I'm concerned here, and we just had Congressman John Rose

756
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 5: on he becomes the first lawmaker to say that Thune

757
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 5: needs to be replaced. There is a lot of anger

758
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 5: among House Republicans that are just enraged, and we're waiting

759
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 5: to hear from Mike Johnson to see what they're they're

760
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 5: going to do. I contend this is going to be

761
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 5: disastrous if we do not get a handle on this

762
00:44:58,600 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 5: before the midterms.

763
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 12: I agreed, because I mean, if you look at some

764
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 12: of these special elections that have been happening across the country,

765
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 12: there's just no enthusiasm really on the Republican side, and

766
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 12: part of that lays at the seat of Congress. I mean,

767
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 12: there's probably when I blame to you around, but part

768
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 12: of that is the fact that Congress isn't you know, trailblazing,

769
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 12: so to speak, and who's are getting to flash that

770
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 12: ship legislation across the finish line to motivate Republican voters

771
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 12: to come onto the bowl.

772
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: You know.

773
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 5: On that note, I mean these two races in South Florida,

774
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 5: First of all, a lot of people didn't even know

775
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 5: there was an election. The governor, even Ron DeSantis, did

776
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 5: not put anything out encouraging people to get out and vote.

777
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,319
Speaker 5: My understanding is he didn't like at least one of

778
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 5: the candidates that was running on the Republican side. So again,

779
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 5: a lot of people just did not know about it.

780
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 5: But still, Josh, I mean, we are looking at now

781
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 5: well over a dozen or so of these special elections,

782
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 5: every single one the Democrats flip yeah.

783
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 12: I mean, this should be a winning sign for Republicans

784
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 12: heading into November. And look, I'm on the team. I'm

785
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 12: one reprobably comes to do well and I want them

786
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 12: to win. But there's no pointular sugar coating it, because

787
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 12: when we get to November, if we haven't been honest

788
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 12: with ourselves about the reality of the political landscape, we're

789
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 12: going to lose. So, look, Democrats have the motivation that

790
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 12: come out to the polls right now. I mean, this

791
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 12: is a race in South Florida that we should have won.

792
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 12: It's the district that Mara a Lago is in and

793
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 12: that the President carried by ten plus points last twenty

794
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 12: four and then now flash forward and we lose a

795
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 12: special election buyer three or four points there. So that's

796
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 12: a pretty big swing in swing and if reflects the

797
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 12: moves the country, the Repulicans are in a pretty bad spot. Granted,

798
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 12: now there's a lot of other factors. Actually said, all

799
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 12: of people don't know. The election that's happening is really

800
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 12: low turnouts in large the midterm year for the with

801
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 12: Republican the power, which means Democrats are going to come

802
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 12: out more. So it's look, there's a lot of other

803
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 12: factors that you can do an odd topsy on this,

804
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 12: but all that comes out to be republic and are

805
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 12: showing up to boot.

806
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 5: No they're not. I think they're for whatever reason, they're

807
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:10,479
Speaker 5: demoralized or whatever. And I get that again. I don't

808
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 5: think it's helping here. When you've got the Senate doing

809
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 5: something at two three o'clock in the morning, then rushing

810
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 5: out of town. You know the problem here is. And

811
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 5: Mike Lee did a great job of laying all of

812
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 5: this out. He said, the good news out of what

813
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 5: happened at two or three o'clock in the morning is that, well,

814
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,279
Speaker 5: President Trump is paying the TSA agency decided to do that.

815
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 5: The current bill the Senate justin over to the House

816
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:37,479
Speaker 5: reopens DHS, ICE and border patrol, primarily funded through the

817
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 5: oh the one Big Beautiful Bill. The bad is that

818
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 5: the Senate goes on a two week recess without passing

819
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 5: the Save Act, without passing standalone voter id or funding

820
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 5: all of DHS through the normal process. So and the

821
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 5: ugly is that Congress, especially the Senate, cannot skate by

822
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 5: relying on President Trump to solve all of our problems.

823
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 5: Republicans have to justify their majorities by fighting for permanent

824
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 5: policy victories, not kicking, not can kicking with unrealistic reconciliation promises.

825
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 5: He said, if we do not stand and fight today,

826
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 5: we will not inspire Americans in November. What do you

827
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 5: think about what Senator Mike Lee has to say.

828
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 12: I think you get to nail pretty on the head there. Look,

829
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 12: if you aren't giving Republican voters space in your majorities

830
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 12: in Congress, what motivation do they have to come out

831
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 12: and essentially rehire you this November? If costs is particularly

832
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 12: the Senive, but if Congress is just going to set

833
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 12: on their hands say, oh, we're going to let the

834
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 12: administration or President Trump handle this and you know, do

835
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 12: what they can't through administrative avenues. Look, that's all dying

836
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 12: and fandy. That's fine for now, But whenever a Democrat

837
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 12: administration comes in the town, they're just going to reverse

838
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 12: all that at the signing of a pan Whereas if

839
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 12: it goes through Congress, there's actual laws figned in kill.

840
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 12: I think these more permanent at that. So, look, we

841
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 12: are in crunch time. We are in large of twenty

842
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 12: twenty six. The midterms are right in front of us.

843
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 12: And now, look I get it, there's district work to

844
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 12: be done for members of Congress to go back to

845
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 12: the respective districts into our states if you're a senator,

846
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 12: and work on district issues. But now it's crunch time.

847
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 12: We don't have time to go to recess for two

848
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 12: weeks to go back to the respective states and not

849
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 12: getting anything done whenever. We have all this major legislation tending.

850
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 12: So I'm glad Mike Lee's telling the truth of the

851
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 12: situation and hopefully more members than the talkius are on

852
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 12: that same mindset.

853
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, well, Josh, we appreciate you weighing in here.

854
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 5: I know it's the weekend and it's but look we're

855
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 5: it's it's crunch time and we've got to get this.

856
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 5: We've got to get this right. So anyway, good to

857
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 5: hear from you, my friend.

858
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 12: Thanks Dot, I appreciate it.

859
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 5: All right, Josh Jones weighing in giving us his intel.

860
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 5: By the way, here is speaker Mike Johnson, and I

861
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 5: like seeing fiery Mike Johnson. Take a listen.

862
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,120
Speaker 14: So Hill is willing to fund all of the security

863
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 14: and safety of the American people. We cannot believe it's

864
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 14: come to that, but it has.

865
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 13: The Senate will you put it on the floor.

866
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,839
Speaker 2: We'll have to see.

867
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,359
Speaker 14: We have to solve the problem, and it's very sad

868
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 14: that Democrats are not interested in doing that.

869
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 15: That mean that you're not in favor of breaking the

870
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,240
Speaker 15: DHS funding bill apart just funding TSA, just funding FEMA,

871
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 15: having individual votes on him set.

872
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 14: We have never been in favor of breaking the bill

873
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 14: up wide because it's one of the twelve separate appropriations bills.

874
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 14: That is the most basic function of Congress to fund

875
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 14: the government, and we did it in a bipartisan by

876
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 14: camberon Man. Remember the contents of that bill were decided

877
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 14: upon earlier by Democrats until they decided to hold the

878
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 14: American people hostage in their long lines at the airports

879
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 14: and with the safety of everybody on the line, to

880
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 14: make a political point.

881
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 13: It is shameful.

882
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 14: There is no way for them to defend this to

883
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 14: the American people, and breaking it out is a I

884
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 14: think it puts an exclamation point on what they've tried

885
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 14: to do here.

886
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 13: It's shameful.

887
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 14: So many people have been through so many hardships because

888
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 14: of this nonsense, and what we're concerned about is people

889
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 14: may actually be hurt, more people harmed by criminal, illegal

890
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 14: aliens that are being protected by the Democrat Party, and

891
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 14: we're sick of Wow.

892
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 5: You know that big that you could hear impounding the

893
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 5: pulpit there the podium. He's really fired up as well

894
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 5: as well as he should be. All Right, our telephone

895
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 5: number nine oh one two six zero five nine two six.

896
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 5: That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two

897
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 5: six will follow all of the breaking news as it happens.

898
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 5: By the way, have you heard about what happened Dylan

899
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 5: with the Nashville Predators.

900
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 3: Unfortunately I have.

901
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're getting mocked on social media. That's of course.

902
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 5: The NHL team, the hockey team and the Predators hosted

903
00:51:54,200 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 5: Predators Pride night, and so they changed the logo to

904
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 5: They replaced the team logo with rainbow colors and also

905
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 5: a message that a gay pride means the freedom to

906
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 5: live authentically and boldly, which ironically is what the transgender

907
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 5: terrorist wrote before she shot up the Christian school in Nashville.

908
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 5: Have you noticed that predators do love the rainbow flag?

909
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 5: I don't clearly, I mean they were embracing it anyway,

910
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 5: the Predators, this all happened last night. They hosted a

911
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 5: pregame party in Smashville. Well that's all these all these

912
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 5: names are just so unfortunate. Now, But anyway, Predators in

913
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 5: Smashville they had a glitter bar and everybody was given

914
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 5: Predator Pride jerseys to where the national anthem was reported

915
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 5: was performed by a group called the Cowgays, which is

916
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 5: sort of like broke Back Mountain on ice. And they

917
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 5: they're known for like mocking mocking God, and they saying

918
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 5: that the cow the Cowgays. Now, let's get real, what

919
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 5: is this. What does hockey have to do with homosexuality

920
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 5: or what's here? In all, in all seriousness, it has

921
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 5: nothing to do with that. What they're trying to do

922
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 5: is shove an agenda down the faces of good Christian

923
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 5: people in the buckle of the Bible belt, which is Nashville, Tennessee. Now, Dylan,

924
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 5: you know me, I am. I don't judge. We just

925
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 5: we just share, we talk, but we don't judge. Here

926
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 5: it's a judgment free zone, and I don't I don't

927
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 5: tell you how to wield your hockey stick or where

928
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 5: to put your puck. That's that is not my job.

929
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 5: It's a free country. But I really do want to

930
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:55,319
Speaker 5: meet the marketing geniuses who came up with gay predators night.

931
00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure you do want to meet them?

932
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 5: No, maybe in a public setting, lots of light, some distance,

933
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 5: maybe a hockey hockey stick between us, you know, just

934
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 5: say it. All right, got it, take a break, We'll

935
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 5: be right back.

936
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 3: All right.

937
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 5: This segment of the program brought to you by our

938
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 5: friends at Newsmax. A new study finding seventy percent of

939
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 5: Americans are not getting the full benefits that they deserve

940
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 5: from Social Security. But there is a way that you

941
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 5: can increase your Social Security benefits by as much as

942
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty eight thousand dollars over a lifetime.

943
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 5: Social Security expert Michael Allen has written five key strategies

944
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 5: to increase your benefits, and it's in a free special

Speaker 5: to do is pick up the phone and call. And

947
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter if you're already getting benefits or you

Speaker 5: will soon. You need this social Security report. Give us

952
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 5: That's eight hundred ninety six ninety to get that special report.

953
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 5: All right, coming up, our good buddy Joe Messina from California,

954
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 5: will drop by huge riots breaking out in places like

955
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Chicago and even in Philadelphia, where these utes

956
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 5: are out there and they're causing mayhem, and these kids

957
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 5: they do not respect law enforcement at all. By the way,

958
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 5: the mayor of Memphis and the police chief are are.

959
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 5: They're flummixed because you've got a lot of kids that

960
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 5: are running around causing mayhem, shooting up people on Beal

961
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 5: Street and other downtown locations, and there's a curfew on

962
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 5: the books, and the mayor can't figure out how to

963
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 5: enforce the curfew. And I have a few thoughts about that.

964
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 5: Number one, arrest the utes. Number two, arrest the parents,

965
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 5: and then number three give the parents a hickory switch

966
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 5: so they can beat the eleven daylights and those demons

967
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 5: out of the kids. Demon time, ladies, and gentlemen, Demon time.

968
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 5: All right, gotta take a break, We'll be right back

969
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 5: all right. Open day at baseball parks around the nation.

970
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 5: And I have to tell you the celebration is incredibly

971
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 5: patriotic and really some of the finest I've seen. However,

972
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 5: in the aftermath of those games, you've got all you

973
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 5: know what breaking loose. Let me just say this in Memphis,

974
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 5: and we'll start with Memphis and then Cincinnati, Chicago. But

975
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 5: in Memphis, Tennessee, you have its spring break and all

976
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 5: of these kids are out and about causing all sorts

977
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 5: of mayhem on the streets of Memphis. I mean we're

978
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 5: talking like gangs of fifty to two hundred kids and

979
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 5: they're terrorizing people. There have been three shootings in the

980
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 5: downtown area, one at the sixty million dollar Park alongside

981
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 5: the Mississippi River, two more on Beale Street. And the

982
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 5: problem is there's a curfew. Well, first of all, we

983
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 5: got a curfew, but the problem is the curfew for

984
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 5: the utes of America is not being enforced here in Memphis.

985
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 5: So the mayor and the police chief they were talking

986
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 5: about this and they don't know what to do. They

987
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 5: don't have a clue. So here's my thought on this.

988
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 5: If you are the police chief of an American city

989
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 5: and you don't know how to enforce a law that

990
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 5: is on the books, then you need a new job.

991
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 5: And we would need we need a new police chief.

992
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,640
Speaker 5: Now they're now saying they don't know where to put

993
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 5: all these kids. I have a thought, how about this

994
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 5: jail and then go and pick up mommy and daddy

995
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 5: and throw them in jail. Because ultimately it's the parent's

996
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 5: responsibility to enforce a curfew and not city leaders.

997
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: Right.

998
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 5: But if mom and dad aren't going to do their jobs, well,

999
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 5: law enforcement needs to intervene, and you need to make

1000
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 5: it as painful as possible so that that will be

1001
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 5: the last time a kid breaks curfew. Well, I want

1002
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 5: to bring into the conversation our good friend. He is

1003
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 5: a nationally syndicated talk radio host. Our good buddy from California,

1004
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 5: Joe Messina. Joe, hope you're doing well today? Does that

1005
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 5: make sense to you? I mean, if you're you know,

1006
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 5: they don't know what to do. How about just enforcing

1007
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 5: the law.

1008
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:09,439
Speaker 15: Just you know what, found up a couple of old

1009
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 15: school dads, and the dads can tell them exactly what

1010
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 15: to do and how to make things happen. I mean,

1011
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 15: you you hit the nail on the head. I'm the

1012
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 15: chief of police. I have no idea how to how

1013
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 15: to enforce the curfew. You know, get the boys together,

1014
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 15: let's round them up and to your point, get them.

1015
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 15: You know, I would lock them in a school somewhere

1016
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 15: for the moment, you know, let them maybe maybe they

1017
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,360
Speaker 15: can learn something. I don't know, but I got to

1018
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 15: tell you it's we're seeing it happen all across the country.

1019
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 15: Like you say, there's there is no law in order

1020
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 15: because these police chiefs are being told to stand down

1021
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 15: by the city councils. I don't know what it's like there,

1022
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,680
Speaker 15: but I don't Here in La the city council pretty

1023
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 15: much in the mayor run the police chief and the

1024
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 15: police department, and they have told them to stand down

1025
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 15: on several occasions. But they should have been acting in

1026
00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 15: getting these young kids off the street and out of

1027
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 15: the alleyways.

1028
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 5: You know, Joe, We've seen it here in Memphis, and

1029
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 5: it's so bad. It's just awful. We saw it last

1030
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 5: night in Cincinnati where hundreds of kids were rioting after

1031
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 5: the baseball game and they literally they stormed a line

1032
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 5: of police officers. These kids have absolutely zero fear of

1033
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 5: law enforcement.

1034
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 15: Why should they have they go in Even if they

1035
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 15: get picked up, they're out with no bail. In most

1036
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 15: major cities across the country, the charges are usually dropped

1037
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 15: against them. I don't know, you know, on my show,

1038
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 15: I kind of follow sometimes when they have mass arrests

1039
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 15: and from these oh these peaceful protests, so to speak.

1040
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 3: But they let most of them.

1041
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,840
Speaker 15: Out again with no charges against them. So why be

1042
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 15: worried about it? And you and I both know this

1043
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 15: isn't grassroots, This isn't people scraping to get a dollars

1044
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 15: to get a magic marker on a white sign. This

1045
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 15: is professionally done. People are paying for this, they're paying

1046
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 15: to keep them on to jail. And you're right about

1047
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 15: the lack of respect for authority. I think you're right

1048
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 15: out with that, But you also have a generation just

1049
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 15: before them that also have a lack of respect for authority.

1050
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 5: Well, you're not kidding, and it's just insane. The same

1051
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 5: thing happened in Chicago, and now you've got a lot

1052
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 5: of businesses, and the same thing happened in Cincinnati. A

1053
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 5: lot of these businesses just had to shut down. They can't,

1054
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 5: you know, stay in business. I don't. On Beal Street,

1055
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 5: a couple of the popular bars and music clubs had

1056
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 5: to close because these kids who are not even sopposed

1057
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 5: to be on places like Beal Street, you know, are

1058
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 5: just rampaging and the cops are being told to stand down.

1059
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 5: I think that's ultimately the problem is these kids need

1060
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 5: their butts in jail.

1061
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, and you're right about the curfew. I mean, we look,

1062
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 15: we had an issue in my little small town of

1063
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 15: three hundred thousand where we had kids starting to get

1064
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 15: out of control in some of the little strip malls

1065
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 15: who what have you, and even in the major mall here,

1066
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 15: and they've always had a curfew in this town. The

1067
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 15: police chief here finally said, which is a part of

1068
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 15: the sheriff's department, said we've had enough, We're done. We're

1069
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 15: going to enforce the curfew. Once they enforced the curfew

1070
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 15: for about two weeks, all of a sudden, he stopped

1071
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 15: having these these runs on these strip malls and in

1072
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 15: the regular mall and a few other places. Amazing how

1073
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 15: you throw some of these kids in jail, or even

1074
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 15: simply have mom and dad have to come down and

1075
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 15: pick them up from the jail. How quickly this starts

1076
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 15: to subside. Now I realized it's a lot bigger in

1077
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 15: LA and Philadelphia places like that, But bring it. You

1078
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 15: know what, they have the National Guard available to them.

1079
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 15: I'm sure there's National Guard bases all around the place.

1080
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 15: We can round them up and bring them to as well.

1081
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 15: I think we need to get drastic. I really do.

1082
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 5: Remember what Joe R. Remember Sheriff Joe Arpio out in

1083
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 5: uh was it Maricopa, Maracopa County. What did he do?

1084
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 5: He put all he put them all in tents. They

1085
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 5: had like a massive tent city. Maybe we do that

1086
01:02:59,440 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 5: in the dead.

1087
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 15: He put him in attendant to dead them blooney sandwiches,

1088
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,439
Speaker 15: and he basically said that the judges who kept calling

1089
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 15: him out was if it's good enough for our soldiers,

1090
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 15: it's good enough for criminals.

1091
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 3: What is it?

1092
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:15,320
Speaker 5: Somebody said the bolooney, sir, there's some green in my bolooney.

1093
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 5: He goes, that's healthy. It's it's plant plant faith.

1094
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 15: Oh and again surplus. I heard he had surplus clothing,

1095
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 15: surplus underwear that he gave these guys and just said, look,

1096
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 15: Alicia covered, get over it.

1097
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 5: That's Joe Messina joining us on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.

1098
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 5: And of course you can actually watch Joe live on

1099
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 5: our social media feeds on YouTube, Facebook and rumble. Joe,

1100
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 5: you got a nice little set there. Looking good on

1101
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 5: you look good on the TV?

1102
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 15: Yeah, I clean up well, don't I. Filters are great.

1103
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed they are. Uh, Joe, real quick, I want

1104
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 5: to share some breaking news out of Washington, d C.

1105
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 5: If that's okay.

1106
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 4: Breaking news now on the Todd Stern Show.

1107
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 5: So, House Republicans are having a conference call. This is

1108
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 5: coming from Olivia Beever's over at the Wall Street Journal.

1109
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 5: She's their congressional reporter. And the congresswoman Anne Wagner actually asked,

1110
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 5: has the Senate agreed to come back? And Speaker Johnson said,

1111
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 5: and this is the shocker here, the Senate went dark

1112
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 5: and did not communicate with us, and Joe's it's really

1113
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 5: infuriating to know that the Senate, they knew exactly what

1114
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 5: they were doing at two o'clock this morning, they wanted

1115
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 5: to get out of dodge. And the fact they're not

1116
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 5: even communicating with the Speaker of the House. What does

1117
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 5: that tell you.

1118
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 2: I'm not shocked.

1119
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 15: I know you're not either. And you know I've been

1120
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 15: railing on our own people for a long time saying, look,

1121
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 15: you guys need to get tough. You need to do

1122
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 15: what you know the Democrats are going to do. I'm tired.

1123
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 15: You know a joke tod that we played by the

1124
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 15: markets of Queensberry rules and they're playing guerrilla warfare. We're

1125
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 15: gonna keep.

1126
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 3: Losing these battles.

1127
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 15: So I think what it tells me is the sentence

1128
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 15: is not going to push this thing forward. They're hoping

1129
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 15: for more pain. But the numbers that I'm seeing the

1130
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 15: Democrats are not looking good. And you know, Schumer came

1131
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 15: out and talking about having ice at the airports and

1132
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 15: how bad it was gonna be. You know, it's gonna

1133
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 15: get worse. And ge isn't it amazing that ice got

1134
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 15: there and all of a sudden the lines thinned out,

1135
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 15: things got moving along. They've been wrung everywhere, and from

1136
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 15: what I'm seeing is the Democrats. I hope this plays

1137
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 15: out in the election cycle, but the Democrats are taking

1138
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 15: a beating over.

1139
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 5: This real, real quick. I'm curious about California. We were

1140
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 5: looking at some polling data. What the the latest polling

1141
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 5: shows you could have two Republicans in that big jungle primary.

1142
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 5: Is that the case or are you starting to feel

1143
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 5: any kind of momentum?

1144
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 15: I am, but you know, when when you see that

1145
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 15: Swallwell is moving up the numbers really quick. Uh, it's

1146
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 15: gonna make it's gonna make you scratch your head. Are

1147
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:10,240
Speaker 15: people really paying attention? But yeah, ultimately, I don't think

1148
01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 15: we're gonna get the big landslide in the primary, but

1149
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 15: I think you're gonna end up with the two Republicans.

1150
01:06:15,480 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 15: Katie Porter is not that far behind the uh uh

1151
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 15: when I looked the other day, wasn't that far behind

1152
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 15: the the the second Republican. So I hope it stays

1153
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 15: that way. And I can't believe anybody would vote for her.

1154
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 13: I just I just can't understand.

1155
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 5: What was the deal. You guys said there was a

1156
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 5: debate a couple of days ago, but uh, there weren't

1157
01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,960
Speaker 5: any minority candidates, so they cancel It was a usc

1158
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 5: they canceled the debate.

1159
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: Well you know, uh was it via Rega?

1160
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 15: I call him via Reggo because you can't figure out

1161
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,680
Speaker 15: what his last name is. But you had the the

1162
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 15: Democrat Uh contenders were there, and they were saying, look,

1163
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 15: there's nobody of color, how can you do that? Well,

1164
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 15: they used what they used for criteria to get in.

1165
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 15: None of those people met so I had nothing to

1166
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 15: do with color whatsoever, But they made it about color

1167
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 15: and then when it got canceled, they came out and said, look,

1168
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,280
Speaker 15: we won. We we you know, we took a strike

1169
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 15: at equity equality and we won. No, you didn't win.

1170
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 15: You made a false story. You sold to the people

1171
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 15: who were totally afraid of you, and and you really

1172
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 15: you blew an opportunity for people in California to hear

1173
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 15: what these candidates have to say.

1174
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 5: That's messed up. All right, Well, Joe, look, we got

1207
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 5: It's you know, it's that nil And just because you

1208
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 5: have a lot of nil money doesn't mean you got

1209
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 5: a team.

1210
01:09:20,760 --> 01:09:21,000

01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 15: Man?

1226
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 17: We come up around the same time. And I can

1227
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 17: tell you this out here is common sense, man. And

1228
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 17: I was telling you your ID CALLO there. Walmart had

1229
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 17: signs in Walmart, even in post Office the missing children

1230
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 17: or whatever.

1231
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 18: All these airports.

1232
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 17: Need to put these signs of these democrats that keep

1233
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 17: the funding everything that puts people in harm's away and

1234
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 17: put the pictures into all these these kids that's been

1235
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:19,719
Speaker 17: terrorized by all these illegal aliens up there, makes them

1236
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 17: have to answer questions, hard questions for this. I think

1237
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 17: if the win win.

1238
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 18: If we just will just push it a little bit.

1239
01:10:27,439 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 17: What's your thoughts on that?

1240
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 5: I agree wholeheartedly, wholeheartedly. We have the moral high ground here.

1241
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,080
Speaker 5: And I'll give you an example. This horrible story out

1242
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 5: of Chicago Loyalta University where this young girl was shot

1243
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 5: in the head by an illegal and she was a

1244
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 5: freshman at Loyola University. The mayor of Chicago refuses to apologize,

1245
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 5: and you had an elected leader, one of the one

1246
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 5: of the aldermen there. She actually suggested that the victim

1247
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 5: was at fault because you may have startled the killer.

1248
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 5: I'm I think we have to start holding these elected

1249
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:07,160
Speaker 5: leaders accountable for what they're saying and what they're not doing.

1250
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:11,360
Speaker 10: Why can't we do that.

1251
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,840
Speaker 17: You've got this opportunity to do it. We run federal buildings,

1252
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 17: evidence that you know, the president has the authority to

1253
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 17: put their faces, the pictures up there with already public notice.

1254
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 17: I say, put their name and why they voted and

1255
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 17: just pulled the seat to the fire. That's got to

1256
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 17: be done. Make them pay a heavy price.

1257
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I it's it's a great point you're you're raising.

1258
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:41,000
Speaker 5: I just don't know if the Republicans have the courage.

1259
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:40,960
Speaker 3: To do that.

1260
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 5: And I'll give you an example. And I think this

1261
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 5: is part of the whole DNA of being a Republican,

1262
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 5: because I believe that we are. We've got to play

1263
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,480
Speaker 5: the game that's been presented before us and the Democrats

1264
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 5: have created the playing field and it's got to be

1265
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 5: smash mouth, and we've got to be We've got to

1266
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 5: be smash mouth right back at them. I'll never forget.

1267
01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 5: I was it was election day and they had these groups.

1268
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 5: You know, they have all the political parties outside the

1269
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 5: election polling place, and everybody's got their banners, and uh,

1270
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 5: the Democrats. The Democrats were taunting the Republicans. I just

1271
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 5: happened to be there, and so I said, I'm looking

1272
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 5: around and everybody's like just all timid on the Republican side,

1273
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 5: and I'm like, what the heck? So I started I

1274
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 5: started drawing back at the Democrats. Todd. Somebody came over

1275
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 5: to me, one of the Republicans, and they said, Todd,

1276
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 5: we we.

1277
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 3: Don't do that.

1278
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 5: We're Republicans. We we take the high ground. I'm like, okay, loser,

1279
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,440
Speaker 5: we got to start being tough. We've got to.

1280
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:54,799
Speaker 17: Yeah, Russe Limbaugh right now, I promise you, Russe Limbaugh,

1281
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 17: he was living today and you picked up the Mantelman

1282
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 17: big time rush with the hammer and the Democrats right now,

1283
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 17: and he'd have a ten point plan to bust her

1284
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 17: him ends. And I just wish we could just focus

1285
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 17: more on that and put it to them.

1286
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 5: That's it. I want, you know what they need to

1287
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 5: be dragging the TSA agents into, you know, into the

1288
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 5: hearings and putting them directly in front of the Democrats

1289
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 5: and saying, this person lost their home because you're not

1290
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 5: paying you know, you're not letting them get a paycheck.

1291
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 5: Put it right in their faces. We have the high ground,

1292
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 5: we've got the stories, we've allegedly we're in charge right

1293
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 5: now in Washington, d C. So we should be taking

1294
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 5: full advantage of that, but we're not. But Todd, I

1295
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,799
Speaker 5: got to run. But thank you for calling in today.

1296
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 5: Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six, Dylan,

1297
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 5: do we have this audio I just sent you. All right,

1298
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 5: we're you're going to be hearing from Brie Woodson. She

1299
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,559
Speaker 5: is running for Congress in Georgia and she had a

1300
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:58,879
Speaker 5: meltdown in Washington, d C. Because there's a banner honoring

1301
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk and she says that she's more deserving of

1302
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 5: a banner than Charlie Kirk is because she has a

1303
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 5: college degree. She also says that a Charlie Kirk banner

1304
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 5: is representative of white supremacy. You can't make this up.

1305
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 5: Let's listen, DC.

1306
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:28,599
Speaker 19: This is the Department of Education. Charlie Kirk has a

1307
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 19: banner at the Department of Education. Mind you, I have

1308
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:37,799
Speaker 19: eight letters behind my last name. Charlie Kirk never earned

1309
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 19: a postgraduate degree of any kind. I have a couple,

1310
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 19: but he's on the Department of Education. This is white

1311
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 19: supremacist propaganda.

1312
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 5: Welcome to America, all right, Well, in fairness, this is

1313
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 5: Bree Woodson running for Congress in Georgia, a Democrat. We

1314
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 5: did some research and she does have eight letters after

1315
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:05,479
Speaker 5: her name. B U T T H O L E.

1316
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:17,600
Speaker 5: We'll be right back to everybody.

1317
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's

1318
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,520
Speaker 1: America's conservative blowtorch.

1319
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:51,680
Speaker 5: That's this American. Todd starts, well, Hello, everybody, Welcome to

01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 5: Always a pleasure to have our good buddy Parker May

1326
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 5: joining us. Parker is the sports director at KWAM Radio

1327
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 5: in Memphis, Tennessee. Also, he is a part of the

1328
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:28,759
Speaker 5: basketball program the men's basketball program at Sanford University Parker.

1329
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:29,839
Speaker 5: I hope you're doing well.

1330
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 13: Today, hey Ton, thanks for having me on.

1331
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,879
Speaker 5: So this is interesting NBC News. This is the headline.

1332
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 5: Still one perfect women's March Madness bracket going into the

1333
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 5: sweet sixteen, and it's an eighth grader. This is the

1334
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 5: it's the funniest story. But a lot of people their

1335
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 5: brackets have been busted all over all over the country.

1336
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's really impressive, and it's it's more common on

1337
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 13: the women's I'd have perfect brackets last a little bit longer,

1338
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 13: less upsets, but still forty eight for forty eight, very impressive.

1339
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:11,200
Speaker 5: Otto Shellhammer, fourteen years old from Pennsylvania, an eighth grader,

1340
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:15,000
Speaker 5: has accurately predicted every game through the first forty eight

1341
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,879
Speaker 5: of the women's tournament, calling it a mix of guessing

1342
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 5: and luck. But that's pretty brilliant. No perfect bracket has

1343
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,599
Speaker 5: ever been verified in the history of the NCAA men's tournament.

1344
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 5: I didn't realize that.

1345
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, I believe the closest someone got it was about

1346
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 13: eight years ago. Someone got it's about halfway through the

1347
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 13: Sweet sixteen and with a perfect bracket, and then this year,

1348
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 13: no perfect brackets are into the sweet sixteen, but an

1349
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 13: unbelievable bracket. That kid has forty eight for.

1350
01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 5: Forty eight, Dylan, how are you doing how with the brackets?

1351
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 5: You want to talk to us about it?

1352
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 3: No, I don't want to talk about it, Todd. It's

1353
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 3: so sad. Actually it's it could be worse. Yesterday actually

1354
01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 3: messed me up because I had both Nebraska and Illinois

1355
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,720
Speaker 3: moving on and both those teams lost, So thankfully I

1356
01:18:05,720 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 3: don't have either of them in my final two. I

1357
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 3: had them in the final four, one of those teams.

1358
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm like an eighty nine percent correct

1359
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 3: right now.

1360
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 5: Overall, Parker, how are your Did you do the brakets

1361
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 5: this year? I know you're a busy guy, but did

1362
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 5: you have time to do the brackets?

1363
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:23,559
Speaker 7: I did.

1364
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 13: I made a couple, but they kind of all had

1365
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 13: the same similar outcome. I had an Arizona over Duke

1366
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 13: in the National Championship, so that part is looking good.

1367
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 13: The Houston loss last night to Illinois really hurt me.

1368
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 13: They were my final four, but I wasn't high on Florida.

1369
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 13: They went out early. I'm very surprised that I was

1370
01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 13: taking a run to the lead, eight out of a

1371
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,400
Speaker 13: nine seed. But it's definitely been chaos so far.

1372
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 5: Guys, guess who's guess whose brackets still still has hope?

1373
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 3: No, No, yours does not count.

1374
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:55,479
Speaker 5: No, it does.

1375
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 13: I take one to night for the volunteers.

1376
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're what are they're going at? Is Iowa State?

1377
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 5: We got to give jets. We should have got Jeff

1378
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 5: Steinel the line from KXXL, We're going all the way, baby.

1379
01:19:06,960 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 3: You're losing, go big Orange. That's a late game.

1380
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,920
Speaker 5: It is a lake ami. Oh man, that's like my

1381
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 5: best time. Yeah, oh my gosh, Barker any surprises so

1382
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 5: far in the in the tournament.

1383
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 13: I kind of highlight the Big ten. They've done a

1384
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 13: really impressive job. They had a lot of teams making

1385
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,600
Speaker 13: it into the field of sixty four, but they've been

1386
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 13: pressed into the sweet sixteen. They had six of the

1387
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 13: sixteen so far, including now with Iowa as a nine

1388
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 13: seed making it now into the Elite eight, led by

1389
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,639
Speaker 13: their star guard Bennett Stetz, and they're a really impressive story.

1390
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 13: Their head coach, Ben McCollum, was at a Division two

1391
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,560
Speaker 13: just two years ago, was that Drake last year and

1392
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 13: has now made to jump to the Big Ten and

1393
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 13: has his team in the Elite eight.

1394
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 5: Wow, that's great.

1395
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 6: You know.

1396
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,760
Speaker 5: One of the things that gets me, guys, I was

1397
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 5: trying to call a ESPN, you know, their website to

1398
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 5: check out the men's what's happening in the men's They

1399
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 5: always had the win men on the front page. Now

1400
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 5: you actually have to search for the men's teams.

1401
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 3: They want you to watch women's basketball so bad.

1402
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 5: That's not Yeah, that's not working.

1403
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,200
Speaker 13: I'm just Uh, you've seen the viewership numbers so far,

1404
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 13: and it's not entirely working so far.

1405
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,759
Speaker 5: No, I don't think so at all at all. Uh, Parker,

1406
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 5: we are you know again looking at the NI I

1407
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 5: just find this so fascinating. But the NIL money and

1408
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:29,959
Speaker 5: you know a lot of the teams that had millions

1409
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:33,599
Speaker 5: and millions of dollars to spend, they're not advancing as

1410
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,400
Speaker 5: far as a lot of people thought they would in

1411
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 5: the tournament. What do you make of that?

1412
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think it is the real balance of some

1413
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 13: teams with the biggest NIL budge, it's not advancing as

1414
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 13: far as they probably should. But also you've seen the

1415
01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 13: lack of men majors or true Cinderellas has kind of

1416
01:20:49,760 --> 01:20:52,240
Speaker 13: gone away to the NIL era, and I guess you

1417
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 13: could say our loan Cinderella from this year was a

1418
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 13: team from the SEC, which doesn't make a ton of

1419
01:20:56,560 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 13: sense in Texas and eleven seed. But you do mention

1420
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 13: teams with big INIL budgets losing early, especially Kentucky. They

1421
01:21:03,200 --> 01:21:05,599
Speaker 13: probably had one of the biggest NIL budgets in the country.

1422
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:08,919
Speaker 13: Their roster was evaluated at about twenty two million dollars,

1423
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:12,559
Speaker 13: losing in the second round of Iowa State by nineteen points.

1424
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 13: So we've seen top teams fall early and it's a

1425
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,800
Speaker 13: real surprise. But it comes down to roster construction. You

1426
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 13: can have all the money in the world, but can

1427
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:22,759
Speaker 13: you have the right pieces to make a great puzzle?

1428
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 5: You know? Oh, that's a that's a great way to

1429
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:28,280
Speaker 5: describe it. And again, I think when you when you

1430
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 5: look at basketball, especially, it is a team sport, and

1431
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:38,600
Speaker 5: I think with the NIL it really placed less emphasis

1432
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 5: on team and more so on the individual players. And

1433
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 5: I know we've seen that, you know in Memphis, which

1434
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 5: was one of the great storied basketball programs of all time,

1435
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 5: which is kind of following on hard times lately, and

1436
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 5: I think that may be one of the reasons. Why

1437
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 5: what say you?

1438
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a really tough cast now for head coach

1439
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:58,920
Speaker 13: Benny Hardway heading into what it will be his ninth

1440
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 13: season next year. He is confirmed to be the head

1441
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 13: coach next year, and they're making steps towards progress in

1442
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 13: the NIL era. They are in talks of hiring a

1443
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 13: general manager to help with NIL and roster construction. And

1444
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 13: that's what we've seen a lot of bigger teams do

1445
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,920
Speaker 13: Auburn recently and just hiring a new one yesterday as well.

1446
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:19,200
Speaker 13: General manager. It helps take the stress of what NIL

1447
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,559
Speaker 13: is this player gonna get versus that player. It gets

1448
01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 13: that stress away from the head coach and that general

1449
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 13: manager can kind of handle that area and the head

1450
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 13: coach can kind of go back to just recruiting and

1451
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 13: figuring out what players he wants in this program.

1452
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 5: So let's see if Tennessee wins tonight, pardon me, when

1453
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 5: Tennessee wins tonight, they could I mean, if we're looking

1454
01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 5: at a possible opposite, you think Alabama's got any shot

1455
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 5: over Michigan.

1456
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 13: I mean, that would be an unbelievable story. If you

1457
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 13: get Alabama and Tennessee in the Elite eight. But I

1458
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 13: actually have both of them losing tonight. But I know

1459
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,200
Speaker 13: the social media in the entire Southeastern Conference.

1460
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, waitstad wait.

1461
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 13: Watching a Tennessee Alabama leader.

1462
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 5: No, no, no, hold on, you've got my wan to see

1463
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 5: volunteers losing tonight, Parker May.

1464
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 13: I didn't want to say it, but I do. This

1465
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 13: is gonna be a very tough matchup. But it's gonna

1466
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 13: be a great game. I think it's gonna be really

1467
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 13: defensive game. It might be one of those like the

1468
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 13: first of sixty five points wins it.

1469
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:17,599
Speaker 3: Are.

1470
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 5: There's no saving face now, my friends, no saving face.

1471
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 5: This is is not I feel.

1472
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:25,719
Speaker 13: It's for Tennessee making it to the sweet sixteen.

1473
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 5: I feel a great sense of betrayal.

1474
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 3: Dylan, you shouldn't. Actually I didn't even have them in

1475
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,040
Speaker 3: the sweet sixteen, so I don't. I don't know how

1476
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 3: you're doing this, but you know, I guess you believe

1477
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:37,160
Speaker 3: in the Orange.

1478
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 5: You both are dead to me. That's all I'm gonna say.

1479
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 5: All Right, well, guys, another great weekend of basketball, and

1480
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 5: we'll see how it's all all all plays out. I'm excited, though,

1481
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:54,480
Speaker 5: the championship in Indianapolis, and it's always a great basketball

1482
01:23:54,520 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 5: atmosphere there in uh in Indiana.

1483
01:24:00,200 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 13: Absolutely should be a great final four. We will have

1484
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:04,839
Speaker 13: the field set on Monday.

1485
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,719
Speaker 5: All right, guys, Well we'll see and go big Orange

1486
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:13,719
Speaker 5: Parker may always good hearing from you and seeing you. Well,

1487
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 5: we've got to leave it there, and we do need

1488
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 5: to take a break here. Nine oh one two six

1489
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 5: zero five, nine two six. That's nine oh one two

1490
01:24:21,160 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 5: six zero five, nine two six. This is the Todd

1491
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 5: Sterns Show.

1492
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 2: All right.

1493
01:24:31,200 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 5: We caught up with our good friend Pastor Alan Jackson

1494
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,240
Speaker 5: at n RB in Nashville and wanted to We touched

1495
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,719
Speaker 5: on a lot of different issues. Let's take a listen

1496
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 5: to that conversation. Well, one of the busiest men here

1497
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:49,000
Speaker 5: at National Religious Broadcasters Convention is our good friend Pastor

1498
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 5: Alan Jackson, who has a brand new book out by

1499
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 5: the way, and we'll be talking more about that in

1500
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 5: just a moment. Pastor Jackson, great to see you in person,

1501
01:24:58,360 --> 01:24:59,639
Speaker 5: and welcome to NRB.

1502
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Todd.

1503
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 20: It's always good to be with you.

1504
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 5: You know, one of the things I really admire about

1505
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 5: about your ministries, You're not afraid to just jump in

1506
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 5: there talk about the big culture issues of the day.

1507
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of pastors just aren't doing that anymore.

1508
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think it's unfortunate we have that real and

1509
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 20: I understand why we reluctant, But I think we're either

1510
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 20: going to shape culture, we're going to be shaped by it.

1511
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 20: And I think the church's assignment is to be culture shapers.

1512
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 2: So here we go.

1513
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 5: Isn't that interesting because when you, I mean, look at

1514
01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 5: American history, it's very clear that pastors played a very

1515
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 5: important role in speaking truth to the culture, being that

1516
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 5: salt and that light. And it seems like these days

1517
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:39,519
Speaker 5: a lot of pastors are on it. Maybe I don't know,

1518
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 5: maybe a sodium free diet.

1519
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,599
Speaker 20: Well, I think the church has to me it's similar

1520
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 20: to our immune system, you know, it's really vital to

1521
01:25:48,600 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 20: the well being of the organism of our culture. And

1522
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 20: we have to have the courage to take on those

1523
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 20: things that challenge our fundamental belief system and if we will,

1524
01:25:57,920 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 20: God will meet us in those places.

1525
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 5: So when you were starting out in ministry, did you

1526
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 5: ever imagine all of all of this?

1527
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 20: No, you know, when I came to serve the congregation

1528
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 20: where I am now we had a tent and fewer

1529
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,879
Speaker 20: than thirty people, and you know, the media wasn't the conversation.

1530
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 20: Media for me was if the overhead projector would work.

1531
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:16,479
Speaker 2: So it's a different day.

1532
01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 5: What would be I say, the secret sauce? What is

1533
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 5: it about the ministry that you've seen this phenomenal growth,

1534
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 5: the influence in the culture and here in Middle Tennessee.

1535
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 2: Well, there's a variety of things. I think one. I

1536
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 2: realized pretty early that I was the one that had

1537
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 2: to change.

1538
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 20: That if I could keep growing and I could keep learning,

1539
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 20: then God could keep expanding the opportunities. And then the

1540
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 20: community where we are has grown dramatically, So an influx

1541
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 20: of people has helped a great deal. And then God,

1542
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 20: God's the only one that changes lives. You know, at

1543
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 20: the end of the day, I'm just a dancing monkey.

1544
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:51,599
Speaker 20: It takes God to change a life.

1545
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 5: So isn't it amazing?

1546
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:53,720
Speaker 3: Though?

1547
01:26:53,720 --> 01:26:56,840
Speaker 5: When you look at where we are now? You have

1548
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 5: a president of the White House, and it's I find it.

1549
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 5: I don't know. God uses some of the most unusual

1550
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 5: people to accomplish what he wants to accomplish, and I

1551
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 5: really have to believe President Trump is one of those people.

1552
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 20: Why don't think there's any question that President Trump and

1553
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 20: his whole administration, they have had more courage for advocating

1554
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:17,760
Speaker 20: for issues around a biblical worldview, tragically than most of

1555
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 20: our pulpits. They've been willing to define marriage in terms

1556
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 20: of a biblical worldview, family in terms of a biblical worldview.

1557
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 20: They've pushed aside things that were encroaching on our freedoms

1558
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 20: and liberties. I'm most grateful for them. So God's using

1559
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 20: God works through unlikely vessels. That's how we got jobs.

1560
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 5: It's exactly. It's a great point, and especially when you

1561
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 5: look at the president again, he's not a preacher by

1562
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,200
Speaker 5: any stretch of the imagination, and yet he's been able

1563
01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 5: to hone in on those issues that I think are

1564
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:49,599
Speaker 5: important to the culture and are important to people of faith.

1565
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 20: Well, and you know, I talk to people of faith

1566
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 20: all the time. They'll say to me, you know President

1567
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 20: Trump is crass. Then I would yes, But he's making

1568
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 20: godly decisions.

1569
01:27:58,439 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not.

1570
01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 20: Endorsing his book or but I am very grateful for

1571
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 20: his leadership. You know, a couple of weeks ago, I

1572
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 20: finished a service and a couple came up to in

1573
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 20: the church. They're from Venezuela, and there were tears running

1574
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 20: down their faces.

1575
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 2: It was the weekend.

1576
01:28:11,560 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 20: Maduro was removed and they said would you would you

1577
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 20: pray for a friend of ours?

1578
01:28:15,080 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 2: I left. They had somebody with him and I said sure.

1579
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: They held up their phone.

1580
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 20: It was a pastor in Venezuela and he was weeping

1581
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,160
Speaker 20: and he said, Pastor Allen, will you tell the people

1582
01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:26,799
Speaker 20: of America thank you. You have changed our future this weekend.

1583
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 20: And so President Trump and his team are making a

1584
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 20: difference on the globe.

1585
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,520
Speaker 2: I pray for him on a daily basis.

1586
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 5: When when you look at at what's happening some of

1587
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 5: the big, the big issues of the day. We're coming

1588
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 5: up on America two fifty the President's calling the nation

1589
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:46,600
Speaker 5: to prayer. How important are those declarations coming from the

1590
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,639
Speaker 5: White House to people of faith?

1591
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:51,560
Speaker 20: Well, I think we have to put it in contrast

1592
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:54,640
Speaker 20: to what we've had previously, where there was this consistent

1593
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,839
Speaker 20: encroachment on our religious liberties and freedoms and freedoms of speech.

1594
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:01,559
Speaker 20: And President Trump has the stand he's taken. He's given

1595
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 20: us a freedom to do the things we're doing and

1596
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 20: to speak the truth into our culture. And so it's

1597
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 20: just a remarkable opportunites harvest season, and I think we

1598
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:12,759
Speaker 20: better have the courage to go forward.

1599
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 5: I want to talk about your new book, Lead with Faith.

1600
01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 5: You know a lot of folks think, well, wait a second,

1601
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,320
Speaker 5: that's the job of the preacher to talk about religious things.

1602
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a businessman, I'm a teacher, but that's

1603
01:29:25,560 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 5: not the focus here, and that's not the message of

1604
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 5: the book.

1605
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 2: No, tell you got it.

1606
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 20: Exactly what I realized in the congregation was I'm surrounded

1607
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:36,280
Speaker 20: by these people who are often world class leaders in business,

1608
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 20: in the corporate setting, and the hobbies of their choice

1609
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 20: and homes in so many ways, but there's a great

1610
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 20: reluctance to lead with their faith. If you ask them

1611
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 20: to pray or to they begin to defer.

1612
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 2: And that's not acceptable.

1613
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 20: We have to take our faith into the corporate boardroom

1614
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 20: and into academy and all of those places, not to

1615
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 20: preach sermons, but to take our biblical worldview and lead

1616
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 20: with our faith.

1617
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 2: If we'll do that, we'll change our world.

1618
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:00,720
Speaker 5: But how do you do that, especially when so many

1619
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 5: people now are being told, oh, you don't want to

1620
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 5: be offensive to people, you don't want to say something

1621
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,720
Speaker 5: that might cause them the offense. And I think a

1622
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 5: lot of times Christians just back off, you know that

1623
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 5: they shy away from sharing their faces.

1624
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:15,760
Speaker 2: We have to change. Jesus was offensive on multiplications.

1625
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 20: The disciples would come to Jesus and said, did you

1626
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,599
Speaker 20: know you offended your audience? Or the people he's speaking

1627
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 20: to would say, did you realize you've just insulted us?

1628
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 20: Jesus said, I didn't come to bring peace. I came

1629
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 20: to bring division. And the church is accepted the wrong message.

1630
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 2: You know.

1631
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 20: Jesus and John seventeen prayed for unity amongst the believers,

1632
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 20: but there should be a friction point between ourselves and

1633
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,840
Speaker 20: the ungodly because the truth is uncomfortable. You go to

1634
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 20: the doctor and he gives you a diagnosis and it's

1635
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 20: not what you want to hear. That's a real uncomfortable moment.

1636
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:42,760
Speaker 2: But if all he.

1637
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 20: Does is say things to make you happy, he's a

1638
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:47,559
Speaker 20: quack and it's malpracticed. And the Church has been committing

1639
01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:48,800
Speaker 20: malpractice for too long.

1640
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 5: My doctor told me to ease up on the doctor Pepper.

1641
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,640
Speaker 5: It was not a pleasant conversation fast, I'm telling you.

1642
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:58,920
Speaker 5: But again it's no I mean, it makes perfect sense

1643
01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 5: what you're saying, because so many times we hear people

1644
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 5: and they say, no, you've got to back off. But

1645
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 5: you're saying, we've got to stand firm in the pave

1646
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:09,840
Speaker 5: and speak, you know, speak truth, but do it in

1647
01:31:09,880 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 5: a loving way.

1648
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 20: Well, we don't have to be obnoxious or angry, and

1649
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,160
Speaker 20: we certainly don't need to be violent, but we have

1650
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:16,599
Speaker 20: to have the courage to tell the truth.

1651
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 2: When we withdrew from those settings. Another world. You stepped

1652
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:20,919
Speaker 2: into those places.

1653
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 20: There was pro DEI or lgbt Q two plus I,

1654
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 20: whatever the latest version of that.

1655
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 2: Is another view world.

1656
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 20: You stepped into that, and I'm ashamed that we ever retreated.

1657
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,240
Speaker 2: So now we're gonna have to do the hard work to.

1658
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:37,759
Speaker 20: Walking back into academia and corporate boardrooms and the public

1659
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 20: square and all those places.

1660
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 5: Isn't that interesting though? That's a great point you raised,

1661
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 5: because even within like the you know, the entertainment community

1662
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 5: for example, that was birthed out of the church and

1663
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 5: we just we just surrendered it to to It's a

1664
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 5: great point.

1665
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:53,799
Speaker 20: The church was the incubator of the arts in Western

1666
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 20: culture for almost a thousand years, and I mean all

1667
01:31:57,600 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 20: of our classic art and music and literature has Christian themes,

1668
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 20: and the Church stepped out of that, and now we

1669
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 20: find this secularization of that.

1670
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 2: We got to go back.

1671
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 20: I'm not ashamed of what I believe, and I'm grateful

1672
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,120
Speaker 20: to see a movement in that way.

1673
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 5: America two fifty. It really is the greatest nation. I

1674
01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 5: think of the face of the earth, the most exceptional.

1675
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,599
Speaker 5: What is it that you love about your country, Well, there's.

1676
01:32:21,439 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 2: No place like it.

1677
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 20: I've had the privilege of traveling the world and the

1678
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 20: freedom and the liberties we enjoy. What binds us together

1679
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:29,919
Speaker 20: as a nation is not our ethnicity or our appearance.

1680
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 20: We're a melting pot. We've come from the nations of

1681
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 20: the world. But it was a value system. We've never

1682
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 20: been uniquely Christian. But it's been our Judeo Christian values

1683
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 20: that have bound us together, and it has given us

1684
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:45,120
Speaker 20: the greatest opportunities, the greatest abundance. And we have an opportunity,

1685
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,600
Speaker 20: I think, to see that emerge again. If the believers

1686
01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:49,600
Speaker 20: will have the courage to lead with our faith.

1687
01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 5: It's going to be a great celebration. Pastor Jackson, congratulations

1744
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 5: a lot of fun stories in there. So let's put

1745
01:36:37,040 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 5: Donna on hold. And wow, Dylan, I think that's the

1746
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 5: first we had an entire car full of people.

1747
01:36:42,920 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome. I wonder she had some help.

1748
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 5: Uh, well, she had a lifeline. Yeah, yeah, I think

1749
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 5: everybody knew that. So we'll do we'll do some more

1750
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 5: of those in the coming days. All right, I want

1751
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 5: to go right away to our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line.

1752
01:36:57,560 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 5: Congressman Mark Harris agreed to come on and talk about

1753
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:06,280
Speaker 5: this breaking news. Congressman, good to have you with us today.

1754
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 18: Great to be with you. It's hard to get through

1755
01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 18: because of all the folks responding to the.

1756
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 5: You know, midway through we were like, oh are full,

1757
01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,560
Speaker 5: our lines are full. So we appreciate you. We appreciate

1758
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 5: you playing a long year, Congressman. Uh, in all seriousness,

1759
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 5: I have never seen Speaker Mike Johnson so angry over

1760
01:37:29,360 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 5: what's been happening, and what happened in the wee hours

1761
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,639
Speaker 5: of the morning. As a matter of fact, we call

1762
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 5: that time. As a matter of fact here on this program,

1763
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:43,080
Speaker 5: we call it demon time, de demon time. What say you, Congressman, Well.

1764
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 18: I agree. I think the demons were set loose over

1765
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 18: in the Senate, and amazingly enough, around two o'clock this morning,

1766
01:37:50,479 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 18: as I understand it, they passed this funding bill uh,

1767
01:37:55,479 --> 01:37:59,479
Speaker 18: and then send it over to us, and really without

1768
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:03,639
Speaker 18: any to see any letting us know this was happening,

1769
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:08,720
Speaker 18: they voted it by unanimous consent. To understand, correctly, there

1770
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 18: were five senators on the floor when this happened. Uh,

1771
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 18: Nobody interestingly enough was willing to object, and so it

1772
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 18: went by unanimous consent, and it's just unacceptable. The Senate's

1773
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:29,320
Speaker 18: refusal the fully funded homeland security is just pathetic. I mean,

1774
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,400
Speaker 18: I don't know anything else. When you think about what

1775
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 18: was in this bill, the fact that they wanted to

1776
01:38:34,920 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 18: defund ICE, defund border patrol, I mean they zeroed out

1777
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:45,040
Speaker 18: ICE is unit fighting child sex trafficking. And when you

1778
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 18: look at short changing our border patrol and block funding

1779
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 18: to deport dangerous criminals. The American people have been held hostage.

1780
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 18: And I think the term has been made that they've

1781
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 18: not only been holding them hostage, but at two o'clock

1782
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 18: in the morning, they demanded a ransom and shot the hostage.

1783
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:07,760
Speaker 18: I mean, it is it's bad. And we spent over

1784
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:12,400
Speaker 18: two hours together, almost two hours as a conference with

1785
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 18: the Speaker. That's why his news conference was delayed about

1786
01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:19,360
Speaker 18: an hour because our conversations went on and on. And

1787
01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 18: so we are we're preparing to pass a bill sometime later.

1788
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 18: I guess it'll go go through rules and then they'll

1789
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 18: ultimately get to the floor and hopefully we're going to

1790
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 18: pass this bill and send it back to the Senate

1791
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:39,360
Speaker 18: basically saying we want a continuing resolution on fully funding

1792
01:39:39,479 --> 01:39:43,200
Speaker 18: homeland security period. And this will be the fourth time

1793
01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 18: that we have actually passed the bill demanding or approving

1794
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:52,280
Speaker 18: funding for all of homeland security and sending it over

1795
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:52,960
Speaker 18: to the Senate.

1796
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,720
Speaker 5: And let me jump in here, let me jump in here.

1797
01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 5: I've got so many questions that would almost to imply

1798
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 5: that the Senate's going to have to come back because

1799
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 5: they're gone. I mean they ran.

1800
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:08,600
Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure they have to

1801
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 18: through this pro forma. They can with unanimous consent. They

1802
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 18: passed this crap last night with five people there. They

1803
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 18: can pass something with unanimous consent when it gets back

1804
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 18: to them on Monday or Tuesday.

1805
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:27,560
Speaker 5: We just had Congressman John Rose on and as awful

1806
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,719
Speaker 5: as the Democrats are here, this is a Republican problem

1807
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:34,320
Speaker 5: right now. And the issue I have with the Senate

1808
01:40:34,360 --> 01:40:37,680
Speaker 5: majority leader is that now he's put you guys on

1809
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:40,440
Speaker 5: the hot seat when it should have been the Democrats

1810
01:40:40,479 --> 01:40:44,320
Speaker 5: all along. Republicans had control of the moral high ground

1811
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,719
Speaker 5: and it was seeded in the wee hours of the morning.

1812
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:51,960
Speaker 5: Here Congressman John Rose says it is time for new

1813
01:40:52,160 --> 01:40:55,840
Speaker 5: leadership in the Senate. What say you do you agree

1814
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 5: with that?

1815
01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,839
Speaker 18: Well, I don't disagree with that. I you know, speakers

1816
01:41:00,840 --> 01:41:03,920
Speaker 18: said a few moments ago in the breaking news that

1817
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:07,600
Speaker 18: you know, he doesn't believe that John Thune was that

1818
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 18: this was anything that he formulated. I don't know. I

1819
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:14,840
Speaker 18: do think that there's a lot of questions that's got

1820
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 18: to be answered about how such a thing ended up

1821
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 18: coming out of the Senate. But to your point that

1822
01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 18: they put us in a hot seat, well, this conference

1823
01:41:23,560 --> 01:41:26,120
Speaker 18: is going to stand strong, and our plan is to

1824
01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:28,960
Speaker 18: send it right back. But this time was something that

1825
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,640
Speaker 18: really and truly there's no reason that they cannot go

1826
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:37,000
Speaker 18: for full funding over a period of time in a

1827
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 18: short term cr that would allow us to get these

1828
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,679

Speaker 18: will begin to be paid. But if they go ahead,

1832
01:41:56,920 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 18: if the Senate will take this action today, that we're

1833
01:42:00,680 --> 01:42:03,639
Speaker 18: and send it back over to them. If they will

1834
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:07,639
Speaker 18: take the action in their performance session on Monday or Tuesday,

1835
01:42:07,960 --> 01:42:10,720
Speaker 18: they ought to be able to pass this again through

1836
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:11,719

1866
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,879

1879
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:45,759
Speaker 5: we have a lot of fun. Let's take a listen.

1880
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:50,080
Speaker 5: Delta Airlines announced today they're no longer going to let

1881
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,960
Speaker 5: members of Congress skip the line. They're gonna have to

1882
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 5: stand there with all the folks who fly steerage. What

1883
01:44:56,520 --> 01:44:57,400
Speaker 5: say you about that?

1884
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 21: It's about time noil King's power to the people. Yeah,

1885
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:05,400
Speaker 21: they the fact that, And this is something that the

1886
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 21: Democrats should be on board with, right, No kings, no authoritarians,

1887
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,720
Speaker 21: no dictators. They're not better than us, right, so they

1888
01:45:11,760 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 21: should be on board with this, and they should be

1889
01:45:13,360 --> 01:45:16,840
Speaker 21: very upset with their with their Democratic representatives who voted

1890
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:21,479
Speaker 21: against this. This is this is something that has long overdo.

1891
01:45:21,560 --> 01:45:24,320
Speaker 21: I hope the other airlines filesuit as far as Trump

1892
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:27,120
Speaker 21: and Ice. First of all, the man is the most

1893
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 21: brilliant troll. I thought I was good. This man puts

1894
01:45:29,960 --> 01:45:34,599
Speaker 21: me to shame. Hilarious. I love it. But it does

1895
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 21: take the pressure off the Democrats to some extent, right,

1896
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 21: because now people aren't aren't being they're not being made miserable.

1897
01:45:42,439 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 21: Democrats love to make the American people miserable. Trump alleviated that.

1898
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 21: I hope he gets credit for a leaving alleviating it.

1899
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:53,800
Speaker 21: And I hope they continue to hope. Hold Democrats fee

1900
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 21: to the fire. And lastly, how nice was it to

1901
01:45:56,439 --> 01:46:00,880
Speaker 21: see the ice agents handing out water instead of what

1902
01:46:01,040 --> 01:46:04,560
Speaker 21: was it? Separating families and killing people at the airports?

1903
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,880
Speaker 21: You know, I didn't think that was going to happen

1904
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:10,000
Speaker 21: to begin with, But you know, Democrats hope springs eternal.

1905
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 4: So overall, a great troll in the President's park.

1906
01:46:14,439 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 5: Kay, I want to switch gears. Maryland a Republican lawmaker

1907
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 5: asking questions about a bill that would force all public

1908
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:26,559
Speaker 5: buildings to provide tampons in the men's room. Let's take

1909
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:27,040
Speaker 5: a listen.

1910
01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 22: What are appropriately sized tampons? I've never heard of such

1911
01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:35,520
Speaker 22: a thing. What do you consider appropriate?

1912
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 4: It just means that tampons are offered.

1913
01:46:41,880 --> 01:46:43,479
Speaker 8: They're no specific side.

1914
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:47,760
Speaker 22: Well apparently there's four different sizes, So which one would

1915
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:48,679
Speaker 22: you like them to use?

1916
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 8: Just a regular sized tampon in the bathroom?

1917
01:46:53,640 --> 01:46:57,400
Speaker 5: Oh jeez a, lou All right, ladies, I'm just going

1918
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 5: to step back here and the ka I'm gonna let

1919
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:05,240
Speaker 5: you debate the phrase appropriately size tampons for us.

1920
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 16: Well, okay, I don't even know where to start with this,

1921
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 16: because there's the debate on like whether people should be

1922
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:16,479
Speaker 16: using tampons anyway. I don't personally trust anything made in China,

1923
01:47:17,520 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 16: even though most of the stuff that we use these

1924
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 16: days is But this is just guys, weren't we passed this?

1925
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,840
Speaker 16: Didn't we elect Tromp? I mean, I didn't you guys

1926
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 16: can hear by my accent. I can't vote in this country,

1927
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:32,679
Speaker 16: although I know how to get an ID all those

1928
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 16: sorts of things, so you know, at some point in

1929
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 16: the future maybe, But when't we passed this?

1930
01:47:38,400 --> 01:47:40,519
Speaker 4: Weren't we pass the point where we.

1931
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:44,719
Speaker 16: Realized that men a don't need tampons be if they did,

1932
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 16: I dread to think where they would be putting them.

1933
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:51,120
Speaker 16: In fact, I think the only thing any man should

1934
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 16: ever use a tampon for is for a nosebleed, as

1935
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 16: we saw Channing Tatum do in the movie. I can't

1936
01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,559
Speaker 16: remember what it's called, but it's based on a Shakespearean movie.

1937
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 16: That's one of the funniest moments ever in cinematic history.

1938
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 16: That is the only context in which men should be

1939
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 16: using tampons for comic effects during a nosebleed.

1940
01:48:09,720 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 4: That is it.

1941
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:14,200
Speaker 16: I think that the fact that tax payer money is

1942
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 16: going to be spent on this how people are like

1943
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:22,600
Speaker 16: rising up against it. It's just the kind of stupidity

1944
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 16: that kind of breaks my brain. And I thought being

1945
01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 16: postpartum was enough to break my brain. This just made

1946
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 16: it even worse because I can't believe that we still

1947
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 16: And how is this?

1948
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 22: Like?

1949
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:37,719
Speaker 4: How is this man saying this with a straight face? Appropriately, say, Temples,

1950
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 4: How is this man saying it with a straight face?

1951
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 16: He must have a lot of zeros behind him that

1952
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 16: are pushing him to do this as the only reason,

1953
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 16: only reason someone would choose to be this embarrassingly stupid.

1954
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 5: Mary, As much as I want you to weigh in

1955
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:56,120
Speaker 5: on the ladies unmentionable segment, we do need to move

1956
01:48:56,120 --> 01:49:00,479
Speaker 5: on switching gears. An art project at a while Washington

1957
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:04,799
Speaker 5: State High School did not have tampons, but did actually

1958
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:08,799
Speaker 5: depict President Trump as a pig, a clan number, a clown,

1959
01:49:09,280 --> 01:49:13,759
Speaker 5: and had references to assassination, ultimately removed after the student

1960
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 5: shared an image with the center square, which went viral.

1961
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:21,160
Speaker 5: I'm just wondering, at what point does the art teacher

1962
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:23,559
Speaker 5: step in and say, you know, I think we might

1963
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:24,719
Speaker 5: need to self edit.

1964
01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:25,280
Speaker 3: A bit here.

1965
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 21: Yeah, Well it's an art teacher, haven't we pretty much

1966
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 21: determined that most artists are the ones with the purple

1967
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 21: hair and all that stuff and hate Trump and not

1968
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:39,720
Speaker 21: all I said most, So don't write the emails. I

1969
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 21: don't want to hear it. I'm not condemning everybody. But

1970
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:46,760
Speaker 21: when someone's saying, well, I'm an artist, or they're unemployed

1971
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 21: or anything along those lines, you know, the friends, you

1972
01:49:48,800 --> 01:49:50,840
Speaker 21: know exactly what I'm talking about. It would not be

1973
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,640
Speaker 21: surprising to me if said art teacher did have like

1974
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,760
Speaker 21: purple hair and secretly thought that this was fantastic and

1975
01:49:56,800 --> 01:49:58,679
Speaker 21: it was beautiful art, because you know, when this kid

1976
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 21: was doing this along the way as the project was

1977
01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 21: going along, that our teacher had no oversight.

1978
01:50:04,479 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 4: Of course he or she did. Of course they did.

1979
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 21: They knew darn well what was happening, and secretly they

1980
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 21: were they were like, going, this is gonna be great,

1981
01:50:13,400 --> 01:50:15,600
Speaker 21: this is fantastic. But I'm gonna let him do it.

1982
01:50:15,640 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 21: I'm gonna blame the kid when it all comes to fruition.

1983
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 21: So I'm glad that they took it down, that cooler

1984
01:50:20,439 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 21: heads prevailed, and I'm glad they took it down. And

1985
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:25,479
Speaker 21: by the way, Todd, you're a chicken for not having

1986
01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:29,639
Speaker 21: us expound anymore on the tampons of the men's bathroom topic.

1987
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's a discussion about the appropriate length of

1988
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:38,679
Speaker 5: a segment. Ladies. Finally, new craze sweeping across the nation.

1989
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,360
Speaker 5: First there was something called goat yoga. Now there's something

1990
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:46,240
Speaker 5: called sword yoga. Ladies in New York City and the

1991
01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:50,600
Speaker 5: South Florida now wielding swords for exercise. Mary, I'm just

1992
01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 5: curious to think that's going to be as popular as pilates. Mary,

1993
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:56,639
Speaker 5: you answer first, and Kay wrap up for us.

1994
01:50:57,200 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 21: Well, I think with this one, women need to know

1995
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:02,200
Speaker 21: their limited because I'm a klutz. I walked into the

1996
01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:04,240
Speaker 21: refrigerator the other day and my husband's like, did you

1997
01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:07,280
Speaker 21: not see it? So like for me this would be

1998
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 21: a no go because I would be in the er

1999
01:51:09,560 --> 01:51:11,640
Speaker 21: within the first fifteen minutes. So for me, it's a

2000
01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 21: no go. What happened to Baton's like? Do we stop

2001
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:15,479
Speaker 21: Baton twirling?

2002
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:16,960
Speaker 7: Right?

2003
01:51:17,160 --> 01:51:17,400
Speaker 2: Like?

2004
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 21: Why does it have to be a And it's not

2005
01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:22,800
Speaker 21: even like a plastic sword, it's actually real. So I

2006
01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 21: think you'd better know your limitations if this is something

2007
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 21: you're going to take on.

2008
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:30,280
Speaker 4: All right, Kay, I couldn't. No, I mean that you

2009
01:51:30,400 --> 01:51:31,559
Speaker 4: absolutely nailed it. Mary.

2010
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 16: That was the first thing that I thought. I was

2011
01:51:33,360 --> 01:51:35,680
Speaker 16: just like, oh, that's an accident waiting to happen. But

2012
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:38,519
Speaker 16: then I was like, why stop at swords? This is America.

2013
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 16: Why not gun yoga? Why not machete yoga.

2014
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 13: We'll just die down the list.

2015
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:46,640
Speaker 4: We'll just go down the list. We'll do a best.

2016
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 16: Break yoga, every single one possible, every single type of weapon.

2017
01:51:54,080 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 16: I know that someone's gonna be like, oh, well, there's

2018
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 16: like a tai chi, like you know, chill element going on, like.

2019
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 4: With this will blow mormal blah.

2020
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 16: No, someone's gonna get hurt, someone's gonna get sued. But

2021
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 16: I still think that we should go for like gun yoga,

2022
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:07,800
Speaker 16: and uh, I don't know.

2023
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:11,600
Speaker 5: Now there you go. You never know what's going to

2024
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:14,400
Speaker 5: happen on this show. Hey, get out there. Have a
