Every style, every home. From the principal Toyota Studios, it's morning in Memphis with Todd Starnes. Good morning, Memphis. Yes, it's Frank Calvet again. You do not need coffee.

You have us. I am again still Frank Calvet. Last I checked, two seconds ago, I am joined by Helen and the rest of Generation Z in the Out of Control Room, and Miss Patty Posle is with us today. Talk election commission stuff. Good morning, Patty.

Good morning, Frank. How are you today? Oh man, I'm I'm already in fifth gear. I don't need any more coffee. The Memphis City Council still keeps me up, but you are in the principal Toyota Studios.

If you have any thoughts to share, number is two six zero. Fifty nine twenty six. Give us a shout if you got something you want to talk about. But before I get into my rant, because the city council is is almost like the radio host permanent employment act. I just want to give a big shout out to St Jude Country Cares.

St Jude Children's Research Hospital has been a staple here in Memphis. Since 1962, and a guy named Randy Owens. You heard of the band Alabama, Patty? I have. Yeah, Randy decided about 35 years ago that he he felt the the pull of St.

Jude, and so he started Country Cares. On thirty-five years, thirty-five events, but equally important, three hundred plus radio stations across the United States do St. Jude radio thons. I want to say big shout out to Randy Owens of Alabama. He has raised one billion with a B, with a B, billion dollars over the last thirty-five years.

So, Randy Owens of the band Alabama, we salute you, my friend. Let's get right into it because. I just I almost couldn't sleep last night with all the fun that goes on with the Memphis City Council. You know, everybody in our listening audience knows that federal law trumps state law, state law and the governor trumps local law.

So when you get some of these liberals on the Memphis City Council that want to pass their referendums, and it even says non-binding referendum, and it says ICE get out, it says National Guard get out. Why do they do this? Political theater. It's a nothing burger. I don't need caffeine this morning.

They're passing a non-binding, worthless resolution that doesn't do anything except tell America. That all the work the the Memphis Safe Task Force has done means nothing to them. Crime going down means nothing to them. Patty, when you get gasoline in your car compared to two, three, four, five years ago, do you look over your shoulder? Are you as nervous as you were back then?

Um, I don't know that I was ever nervous, but I also don't live. You know, in some of the areas here, that I would be nervous. I mean, if my car, that there have been times where I have driven into areas that I just thought, man, I really need to stop and get gas. But, man, I don't want to stop here. You know, so there, you know, there's that, and and I do remember a couple years back, I was coming from an event and I hit a pothole.

And I blew my tire, and that scared the bejesus out of me because I thought, oh my gosh, here I am, number one, a woman that has stuff in her trunk, and therefore I must take the stuff out of the trunk to get to the tire. I know how to change a tire, but you're still stuck on the side of the road, um, with heavy traffic, and you know, and I'm a woman on the side of the road, and I thought about that. But in that particular case, somebody did see me or heard, you know, was driving next to me or whatever, circled the block and came back and said, "Hey, I I know you blew your tire. I'm here to help you, and I wanted to make sure that you're protected because I could see you're a woman and alone.

So there are a lot of really good people here. I think 98 of the people are really good, but I like the fact that some of these neighborhoods that have heard gunshots routinely throughout their days and nights aren't hearing those things anymore, and part of that is about the Memphis Safe TAFS Force.

So their quality of life has greatly improved, and for for them, to me, this resolution that they passed is is spitting on them. Because, you are telling Justin J. Pearson. I am sorry to interrupt. Justin J.

Pearson has no problem spitting on Tennessee Highway Patrolmen and cussing them out. Justin J. Pearson, the socialist running against Brent Taylor for Congress, Patty. See that would scare me. But equally important, it would scare me as my friend.

Or if it was my daughter, but I find myself not worrying about my daughter going to get gas, my wife going to get gas, gasoline, and so I'm thinking to myself, what kind of a signal are we sending, not just the governor, but America, when we want business to come to Memphis? Let's face it, our population is shrinking. Yes, definitely, our population is shrinking, but I think it's more of an insult. To the citizens that have had positive impacts with the Memphis Safe Task Force, you have this small group of people with megaphones, and literally they have megaphones, right? Coming in disruptive to the Memphis City Council just what a couple weeks ago, and they're being bullies and going, "Hey, we we want chaos, we want disruption." And by golly, you got to listen to us because this is what we're demanding.

When the silent majority that are going out there working their their day jobs, or sometimes two jobs, sometimes three jobs, that just want safe streets, good schools, and and a little peace and quiet when they are home, and not have to worry about doing guarding in their front yards and having bullets fly. And allowing their kids to play and to hear laughter—that's what this resolution is insulting to.

Well, could not be more accurate because, you know, the only thing banging through my my head this morning is, you know, if you if the facts are on your side, argue the facts. And ladies and gentlemen, one thing because I always have nicknames for my guests, Patty Posse. I'm going to call her Details, Pesky. Details possible because every time I've heard arguments to do something, she slowly and methodically using those pesky details like facts, and she slowly dismantles your argument until you realize, wait a minute, she's right.

So, ladies and gentlemen, as you are getting up this morning and you are getting your coffee, don't worry about it. That is a non-binding resolution. Nothing burger, not even worth the paper it's printed on. The concern we have, though, is the signal that it sends people that want to move to Memphis, businesses that want to come here. Governor, as they see and approach Memphis and how to work with us.

Now, going forward, in the time we have in this segment. XAI was also on the agenda yesterday, and the city council very wisely, very wisely, shot down a proposal to ban XAI from the city of Memphis.

Now, I get the guardrails, I get the time to make sure that we protect our citizens. I get that, but an outright ban. I'm glad we turned around and shot that down. Absolutely, absolutely. Because XAI, yeah, we we do have to explore some of these things that people are upset with.

You know, whether it's noise pollution, whether it's air pollution, whether it's water consumption, energy consumption, because we know. Me personally, watching MLG and W under the the leadership of Doug McGowan, I think he's doing a fantastic job. I think that was a a huge job that he had come in and improve a lot of things that have been slacking with MLG and W. And one of that is the infrastructure grid. And so I can understand the people's concerns, but we do need.

To figure some of those things out, but overall, to just you know, we're we're going to ban this because we don't like Elon Musk's politics. Yeah, because I mean, let's call it what it really is. We are against Elon Musk because he's friends with Donald Trump. Let's just call it what it is, ladies and gentlemen. We we're about to have to take an obscene profit timeout, but before we do, remember today is Wednesday, October twenty first.

All day, it is thirteen days. To victory, and when you come back, we're going to talk about early voting and and what you need when you want to exercise your liberty and your right to vote. We'll see you in just a second. Is your home wish list just sitting in your cart?

Good morning, Memphis. Principal Toyota Studio, you are you have Frank Calvet, proud Memphian, Patty Posel, the details and data girl Helen in the out of control room. Today is Wednesday, October twenty first. We have eight more days of early voting, and election day is only thirteen days. Thirteen days, my friends.

Thirteen days to victory. And if you are racing to work, remember you still have seven and a half minutes. Take it easy. Slow down. The Tennessee Highway Patrol will give you a high velocity award if you don't.

Okay, and we need to thank State Senator, Congressional Candidate Brent Taylor for that. Mark White, John Gillespie, for making sure that we have Highway Patrol and keeping our interstate system safe.

So slow down. Take it easy. You still got seven minutes to get to work. Patty, before we get back into XAI, just want to make a public service announcement. It is that time of year, Nutcracker.

Didn't see that coming, but yes, tonight though our Memphis Grizzlies take the court first game of the season. Utah Jazz. It's basketball season in Memphis, baby, or ballet.

Okay. Oh, we have culture here too, and and they want to be good Grizzly players. They're over in the ballet studio building those those muscle core strength. Whatever gets us to the playoffs. This is this is that time of hope in Memphis.

It is basketball season here in the River City. But let's go back to XAI.

Okay. You know, I'm proud of the Memphis City Council. I don't say that very often. But I'm proud that they blocked this wrong, wrong idea to ban XAI.

Okay. So, so let's talk about the benefits, pros and cons. We'll we'll do both.

Okay. Okay. Curiosity on on my part, whether or not you know what is the estimated tax revenue? Fifty three million. Sixty.

Sixty, well, it's estimated fifty-three first year.

Okay, how many jobs does it support? I'm gonna guess two thousand. Seven thousand five hundred. Seven thousand jobs in Memphis, Tennessee. Seven thousand, not necessarily permanent jobs, but right now we're at seventy-five hundred jobs.

Seventy-five hundred jobs. Yeah, how many families is that impacting? Name the last time we had seventy five hundred jobs come to Memphis, Tennessee.

Well, no, there is more than that because how many suppliers are supplying them? Vendors, yes. How many vendors? No clue. Six hundred and thirty plus have vendor relationships.

So, on top of the seventy five hundred that are getting direct paychecks, then you have these additional companies and everything else. Making money, making money for people right here, and employing more people right here. That's right, and it's not just here; it's also Northern Mississippi and over in Arkansas, right?

So it's a regional impact.

Okay, so what are the major, you know, arguments against them? Pollution.

Well, and let's be fair: we don't use bullhorns here; we don't have to because Patty Postle brings facts.

Well, thank you. I appreciate that.

So, they want to talk pollution, air pollution, noise pollution, electricity demands, water consumption, right? Uncertain number of permanent jobs. You know, those transparency and enforcement. Those those are the major down. But on the flip side, what are the positives?

Major private investment, right? Ninety billion with a B. That's that's huge. Additional tax revenue. If we're losing seven percent of our population, who's going to pay the bills?

Right.

So, so you got tax revenue coming in, right? And they didn't even ask for an abatement, right? No, they asked for no benefits. No, no benefits. And the deal is, I forget how many.

I don't have that figure right in front of me, but it's how many millions of dollars must be invested. Just in that community, so you know this money being made isn't going to help necessarily the residents out in Cordova or out in Lakeland, right? It has to be invested in that zip code with school improvements and things along those lines.

So, and not to interrupt you, but that's as a realtor, well interrupting me, I do. But that's three eight one zero nine.

Okay, that's one of the poorest zip codes in the country, in the country, in the country.

So it brings jobs and business opportunities there. Of course, it's going to help. You know how how do I find a lot of these facts? You know, I mean, I'm using AI. If you if you do a Google search, hate to tell you, you've been using you've been using AI for a number of years and not even realizing it.

And then you've got reuse of an existing property. Do you really want that whole area blighted? Right.

You just have vast areas of of nothingness.

So, you know, this is actually really could be a real positive.

Now, noise, noise. You want to compare that to an airport. There's only five decibels difference between an airplane and what those turbines. Are producing so five decibels. Yep.

Okay. One sixty-five, one seventy.

So that's not a lot of differential. And having lived on the end of a runway at one point in my life, not here because I'm smart enough to look where runways are. Anytime I moved the other twelve times, you couldn't even talk on the phone. Yeah, it's interesting coming marrying into a family where you hear them talking before you even round the corner. Five decibels difference is is is a rat's burp.

I mean, it's nothing. Forgive me for it's probably not the best language or example, but I am from Memphis, and so we put things in more blunt terms. Yeah, I mean, do I want my house right next to it? No, but it's zone industrial. Right, so you don't build a house.

I mean, you can if you want to, because you're allowed. But I don't want to put my house right next to it. But I want to go work there.

Well, you're bringing up some great points. As former planning and zoning chairman on the Memphis City Council. Industrial zoning, quite literally, is exactly what you think it is. It's a warehouse district.

Now, yes, you are by right allowed to build almost anything. Matter of fact, remember my planning and zoning days? You can build nightclubs and gentlemen's clubs in an industrial, and only in industrial zone. That's where's the women's club. You know, you can start that up.

That if that's what you want to do. But I was thinking, you know, we've got this opportunity, and we have to take an obscene, obscene profit time out. We're going to come back and talk about elections. But guys, XAI is coming, so let's balance and put up our guardrails, and let's welcome a new corporate citizen. We'll see you in a minute.

Well, look. If you got to work by seven thirty, it's seven thirty-five. You've got your coffee. You are ready to roll. If you are heading to work, take it easy on the interstate, guys.

The Highway Patrol, thanks to great people like Congressman David Kustoff, are they're out there. They'll give you those speeding tickets.

So take it easy. Take it easy. I'm Frank Calvet, proud Memphian. Patty Postle is with us. The Election Commission misses details, and Helen and the rest of Generation Z are in the out of control room, keeping us straight and squared away.

Today is Wednesday, October 21st. We are we are. I can't believe this. 13 days, and I know you at the Election Commission. Y'all are y'all are prepping.

Y'all are working 25 hours a day.

Something close to that. I can't. That's why my voice is kind of out. I can only imagine.

Well, so I was thinking, as you're getting ready to go see the Grizzlies play tonight, and you're recovering from what the Memphis City Council did. What we're going to talk about is a big question that a lot of people are stopping me. We're going to talk in this half hour about the amendments because everybody gets to the you know they they vote and they vote and then they get to amendments they read and they've never heard about it. They don't know what's going on.

So stick around this half hour. We're going to talk about that and give you the information you need to make some good decisions. But Patty, let's get right in it. Let's get right in it. Voter integrity.

Voter integrity. Let's talk about that first. Yeah.

So, share with me. I want to go early vote, and in Tennessee, you are required to have ID because we trust, but we also verify.

Okay. So, I present my driver's license at any one of the twenty-six voting locations. You can, or even your expired driver's license, we will accept that too, as long as it's issued by the state of Tennessee, and it, you know, it's issued by the the state.

So if I have former military ID, that's long expired, it's got my picture, it's got my picture. It's got to look like you. I mean, you know. I mean, if you were eighteen and you know you're coming in at eighty five, it might be a little issue there. But might just be a little bit.

So you're saying an old, like an old handgun carry permit, as long as it is state or federal issue. If it's a library card, that's going to be a no. Student ID, no. Even though they have your pictures on it and things like that, that those are no's because they're not issued by the feds. Or the state of Tennessee.

Okay, okay.

So, what times can everybody vote this week? Oh gosh, well that one kind of throws me off just a little bit. Basically, the polls open at eleven and they close at seven. Monday through Friday, Saturday is what I always have to look up because eight to four, eight to four. But that's only on one of the Saturdays.

The other Saturday is not at eight o'clock. It starts at eleven or ten or something like that. But I'll have it here at my fingertips because those kind of simple little questions, or actually, there's there's a lot of complicated questions too. If you just go to elections with an s, Shelbytn dot gov. We have all kinds of information on there.

If you hit elections and you hit then upcoming, you can hit all the dates and times, the early voting schedule, the election day schedule, the precincts. You can check your voter registration. Make sure that before you ever even get there, do you have any issues? You know, are you in the rolls? That kind of thing.

So, this coming Saturday, it is eight to four.

So okay, so I was thinking. You know, we were talking yesterday about this. You can go Bethel in Germantown. That's really big. That yeah, atop Anointed Temple, praise harmony and and Bartlett.

You can go downtown again. There is twenty six. Early voting locations.

So I suggest you just go to elections shelbytn. dot gov, find the one closest to you, or find the one farthest away and go explore that area of town.

Well, I like Tennessee Shakespeare at Germantown and Trinity because even though I'm a former elected official, I don't like running the gauntlet, as we like to say. They don't they don't allow signs. They don't allow anybody. I go in, ladies and gentlemen. Fifteen minutes from Max.

Yeah, I'm in and I'm out, and I'm doing what I consider to be my duty as an American. Responsibility and privilege. Yeah, it's I can't understand why people don't vote. It's so easy. It's fifteen minutes of your life, right?

Well, with a little prep time too, right?

So we have to do a little prep time. But before we get to that, you know, hot topic. Throughout the nation, is this election integrity?

Well, how do you make sure that these elections are really organized?

Well, you know that kind of thing. And so, the number one thing a lot of people don't know this is the election commission actually tries to equalize. If you identify as a Democrat, or if you identify as a Republican, or even as an independent. Out at these twenty-six early voting sites, and then again on election day, which there's like a hundred and forty-two, if I recall correctly, polling locations. We like an equal balance between Republicans and Democrats, and we'll throw in a few Independents.

We don't have as many of those, but we want that fifty-fifty balance between those and. Um, here in Shelby County, we have a lot of Democrats that step up that said that they'll work at those one hundred and forty-two locations. We're fine for early voting, but on election day, we are shy. Four hundred Republicans. We need four hundred Republicans, and people also complain about hey, Shelby so late in getting the results out.

We could use some help at the ops center too.

So if you are a Republican, again, Democrats are doing a great job stepping up. We need some more Republicans. It is not too late. You can you get paid, so this is not a volunteer position, but it is a civic duty. If you've got the time, you got vacation time.

That you're kind of getting double pay because you'll get paid and then you get paid because you're off too.

So also, my mom retired. Yeah, you want to make a little extra scratch, Mom. Go volunteer and also make sure our election integrity remains intact. I say that huge family that I'm blessed to be married into. You know, guys, you want to get paid?

Go volunteer on election day for the election commission, and it's not volunteering. You're getting paid if you're a college student. If you're ever going to skip classes, that's a great day to skip classes. Make money, I love it. You know, high school students, you're you're 18 years old.

We'll take you.

Okay, so you need to be 18. No, I I think you only have to be 16 or 17.

Okay, 16 or so. Then you're like a junior. You you kind of do some of the grunt work. You do some running. You you call in figures and things along those lines.

So you. It's it's a different role, but yeah, even the younger ones.

Well, this is friends. This is a great opportunity. You get paid to do it, and it's your civic duty.

So I think there's a wonderful opportunity. I just got a question over our hotline in the Performance Toyota Studio. I got a question. They said if I live in Fayette County, just east of us, can I early vote in Shelby? No.

You have to go to your own because we maintain our own voter rolls inside Shelby. It's it's county specific.

Okay, you can't just go anywhere randomly across the state. You have to go in your own county. Ideally, you want to go to your own poll right because you want the poll workers to know who you are. Again, that's a an integrity verification.

Okay, way, well, neighbors. We're gonna probably get some questions, and I hate to interrupt because I really want to get to these amendments. Because everybody asks.

Now you apparently have six questions: three state, three local. Let's talk about the state. The only in Memphis. Only in correct because Memphis question. The amendment one is bail reform.

Now we talked about this yesterday. Basically, this gives the judge latitude to deny bail.

So if you vote yes. You are you want to allow a judge in a case, of for example, aggravated rape. Yeah, there. It's a very limited number of crimes that you that would fall into this category that gives this judge latitude just to flat out deny you bail.

Now, on the flip side of that is. You know, this person is considered innocent until proven guilty.

Now, I am going to interrupt you because you know how I get mad at these kinds of things, and I know, I know you hate when I erupt. This just gives the judge latitude to deny bail. It doesn't guarantee very heinous crimes, right? It has to be a pretty heinous crime. It's not like.

Hey, I'm going to deny you bail because you did a little shoplifting. That that's not it. It's it's aggravated murders, aggravated rapes, things along those lines. I mean, it's it's got to be terrorism. Terrorism, yeah, that's that's another one.

So, so it has to be heinous, folks. That's a huge yes. Let's give our judges latitude to deny bail when, in their opinion, I have no opinion. Let's be very careful, Patty. Posse is here on behalf of the election commission.

She is facts and figures, Patty. Data, Patty. Pesky details, Patty. Option one, amendment one, bail reform. Yes, give the judges the latitude that if some Somebody's charged terrorism, and that judge believes there is very probable cause.

Give him the latitude.

Now, Amendment Two: State property tax. To me, this one is simple. This simply asks: May we ban a state property tax? But on the flip side, it's also going to limit our legislators from coming up with creative solutions for budgetary shortfalls. Oh, that sounds like tax increase.

Now, Patty, I know you're never going to be in favor of that. Come on, I have no opinion. I'm giving just pros and cons. And the pro is you're going to keep more money in your pocket, or they're going to come up with other ways to tax you, but they can't do it on on your property tax, which really is based locally at this time. Right now, we don't have a state property tax.

Some people are kind of kicking around, but Right now, property tax is all local.

Well, every little bit that we can limit our government from reaching into your pocket for your hard-earned money. I say yes, so we're a yes on state question. No, we are not.

Okay, I'm sorry. I keep saying we. I strongly encourage you, my friends, to vote yes on Amendment Two, state property tax.

Now we're going to have to go to an obscene profit timeout, but in 15 seconds, Amendment Three is crime victims' rights.

Now I'm going to jump straight on this one, Patty. This expands if you vote yes, and I say vote yes, not Patty. Patty's details. Vote yes on crime victims' rights because one of The many provisions it allows the victim's family to be part of a sentenced felon's parole. Yes, but those victims could be like harassing the criminals, you know, kind of thing too.

Okay, so that's the negative on there. There's the there's the other side of it. I say victims' rights all day long. Vote yes on three.

So that's a three. Three out of three vote yes on the state questions. We're going to take that obscene profit timeout. We're going to come back and talk about the Memphis questions on the ballot. Thank you very much.

All right, we're back. Hey, look, you've got about seven minutes to get to work. Do not speed. You are with Frank Calvert, Proud Bumpy, and Patty Possehl, Helen on the board with the rest of the team. We're we're finishing up our conversation this morning about the three now Memphis questions.

Holy Memphis! Yeah, that you'll see on the ballot.

Now, the first one. The first one to me is kind of simple. Should librarians be civil servants? Code for shall they be unionized, and shall we add an extra layer of bureaucracy?

Well, but with this, the con on that is there's going to be added layers of whether or not somebody can be terminated or not, and it also doesn't cover everybody in the library system. Employment up and down the scale, whether you know it's the top executives, managers, that kind of thing. These would be different rules between the two segments.

Sounds to me like they're trying to get the camel's nose under the tent. Let's start with librarians, and then we'll add add add.

So, if you are in favor of adding more bureaucracy, adding more unions, and in our glorious right to work state, having difficult making it even more difficult to fire a bad employee, but it also gives me protection if you just don't like me. If you just if. I've been in a couple jobs where they just didn't like me, so I love my libraries, but no dismissal.

So you know, there's pros and cons to that. Again, that is Patty, fact-checked apostle, who is here representing the election commission.

So she, friends, is not going to have an opinion. She's going to be all about facts and figures. I do not have such restraints. I love the libraries, but. No, I am not interested in spending more tax money on that.

Now, the second question, this is interesting. Having been on the Memphis City Council, it's the lobbyist question, Patty. What is that?

Well, pros and cons. They would like to create a registry for lobbyists, which is a pro for the councilman because they know whether or not they're paid or not paid. You know, who's who's paying them, kind of thing. But the downside is. The way this is written, the ordinance isn't there, so pesky little details aren't there.

So, you know, I would consider that a con. Yeah, how's this going to work? Who does it impact? Define lobbyists, because is that your neighborhood, Patty Postel, with property rights coming in, and all of a sudden I've got this burden. Of, I can't speak to you because I am not a registered lobbyist.

You know those those details are not worked out on the pro side. You know, city council knows who's in front of them and knows that they're being paid by somebody.

Well, and I can tell you, especially in your case, you are not a paid lobbyist, and you bought brought three hundred more than three hundred, more than three hundred. I think we were up to five hundred in some of those meetings. Yeah, and I and we noticed because it wasn't just me; it was some eighteen hundred and thirty-six homes from South Cordova. That's I vividly remember that as a councilman. I can, I can tell you all out there.

As a as an elected official, I would like to know if someone is being paid to talk to me. If someone is being paid to bring people, it means more to me as an elected official when someone who is not paid by a corporation or a group. Brings five hundred plus people. Yeah, but this is not defined of what a what is a lobbyist. If if if I come two times, does that make me a lobbyist?

If I talk on different topics, does that make me a lobbyist? See again, Patty, the devil's in the details. And how much more is it going to cost taxpayers for the administrative? Of keeping that roster up to date, you know. At one point, is that person you know because they might be local, they might be talking on one thing, so they're they're working say for XAI.

But now all of a sudden they got a property tax because you know they wake up to a newspaper article saying something. Yeah, you know, it's just from one job to another.

So those things aren't worked out yet. I I hate the phrase. I just wish, but I I wish we had gotten more intel, more information on this one because it. As a former elected official, I would like to know if you're being paid to talk to me because it changes how I see what you're saying to me. That's my general thought.

Now, the third one in the one minute that we have, and remember, you you still have plenty time to get to work.

So, dear listener, just keep listening.

So, pros and cons of this is, you know, the pro, it's going to establish. Lost my train of thought here on. What's the arbitration side? Yeah, it's the arbitration side.
