From the principal Toyota Studios, it's morning in Memphis with Todd Starnes, Griffiths, Endzone, intercepted.
Memphis wins the game. The game is not over. The game is not over. Oh, it's over! It's over.
The game is over. The ruling on the field is an interception. It is Ellis Ellis Jr. and Mitch Griffiths can't believe a flag wasn't thrown. Ellis Ellis Jr.
hand fighting with Landon Sides sees that one-on-one matchup on an inside fade. And it sure looked like they were hand fighting to me, Matt. What a finish here in Memphis! Just gonna see him go to this edge at one and two. Landon sides sort of plays that off.
Surprised they don't call that. Landon sides gets pushed away. It's a little bit of hand fighting. And Ellis, Ellis, how about that? Yeah, how about that, everybody?
Hello, welcome to the show. Happy Friday! I'm Todd Stearns. Great to be with you. And wow, what an incredible overtime thriller last night at the Liberty Bowl, and the Memphis Tigers rallied from a 16-3 deficit to defeat ECU, Eastern Carolina, and it was a wild game.
Not a lot of people in the stands for that Thursday night game. It looked a little sparse there, to be honest with you, but certainly an incredible, an incredible game. Huge win for the Memphis Tigers. By the way, I just want to get this out of the way. We'll rip this bandaid right off because a lot of folks on the Memphis Tigers fan pages, social media pages, are freaking out right now, and many are concerned that Coach Huff may be a short timer because Coach.
Chuff is being mentioned as a as a possible replacement at the University of Maryland.
So the New York Times, many other publications are suggesting that Coach Huff may be headed to Maryland. There is that's I'm just sharing that with you. We have no confirmation, but that's what the rumblings are about. And a lot of folks very concerned on on the social media pages.
So look, just enjoy the win. It was looking pretty ugly last night, and it turned out to be a great night.
So take the win, Tigers fans, and we live to fight yet another day.
Well, we've got a great show for you today. Vicky Gandy is going to be here. Vicky running for school board. She is the bona fide Republican nominee, the only Republican nominee running for school board in Germantown. We'll be talking to her also.
Lauren Pinkston is going to be here. She's one of the independents running for governor in Tennessee. And what I find very interesting about this race, it is now generating national attention. Pinkston, by the way, is polling at about one percent.
So we're going to find out what her what her strategy is because she believes she can win this thing.
So we'll find out how what her strategy is all about. But most of the attention of the race is being directed. At David Hatley, the independent, who by depending on what polling data you looked at, is doing pretty well and is definitely in the double digits when it comes to his support. And many folks in the national media say this could be this could be the big upset race of the midterm elections. And it's not Hatley; it's Jerry Green that could end up winning the governor's race as.
Result of David Hatley pulling votes away from Marsha Blackburn.
So curious to hear thoughts on that. Who are you supporting and why? Give us a call this morning. Nine zero one two six zero five nine two six zero telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six.
We'll be taking your calls. I know Hatley has been making a pretty major play here in West Tennessee and specifically in the Memphis area. You hear his. Ads running all the time now on KWM. Also, the congressional race, Charlie Hatcher, now jumping in with an ad buy, and Chaz Molder as well.
So those two are going at it. And Democrats do see when they're looking at the races, they really do see the fifth congressional district race as an opportunity to pick up a Democrat seat.
So they believe that Charlie Hatcher is vulnerable. As for For the very contentious ninth congressional district race, well, the good news here is that Brent Taylor is really generating a lot of attention outside of Shelby County, and that's important because most of the vote in the ninth congressional district is outside of our area.
However, there is a massive, massive Republican pool of voters in Shelby County, more than any other place in the state of Tennessee.
So it's really Going to be important for these candidates to make sure they're doing their due diligence back in their own backyards. We cannot take anything for granted as we move toward the midterm election.
So, how are you guys feeling out there? Voting turnout has been off the charts, insane, just huge, huge numbers. And if the trends continue, we will be surpassing the 2022 numbers.
So this this is really looking like an election cycle. Turnout at least here in the state of Tennessee, but let me just say this: I was in Houston, Texas, just a few days ago, and we saw the same kind of historic turnout there in Harris County, which is where Houston is located.
So, a lot of a lot of indicators that people are fired up. The question is, which side are they fired up for? Are we watching? Are we watching a blue tsunami, or are we watching a red tsunami? And that's the big question.
That's the great unknown right now. And the fact that and and I am puzzled by this. The fact that we don't have any official, legitimate polling out there on the races in Tennessee is really, really shocking. By the way, President Trump coming to Mississippi. He'll be campaigning in Corinth, Mississippi.
Mississippi. That the Democrats believe Mississippi is in play. I'm not too sure. I believe that, but you've had Kamala Harris, Barack Hussein Obama, Pete Buttigieg. All of these guys are out there campaigning for Democrats there in the Magnolia State.
We'll see how that goes. But anyway, President Trump will be in Corinth, Mississippi, campaigning for Republicans there in the Magnolia State. Also, a.
Some news dropping last night: the president officially endorsing Marsha Blackburn for governor. Also, the rest of the Republican slate.
So that's good news, and certainly all of the. Candidates running are taking full advantage of that news that dropped yesterday. Before we go to break here, I wanted this just bears repeating, and it angers me when I see these morons. And I'm talking about the the the big morbidly obese magenta haired nose ring crowd, the ones that pile into City Hall. And I I have a question about that in just a moment, but they're all upset at.
Elon Musk. Elon Musk has been really a de facto citizen of Memphis for quite some time, living in a trailer as they are building out his data centers. And I think it's important for us to understand what Elon Musk has actually been doing. And it's not just building data centers or providing great jobs for people who need really good jobs in the mid south, but he's also donating a lot of. His own personal money, fifty million dollars pledged to St.
Jude. That's Elon. That's Elon Musk. Fifty million dollars, three hundred and fifty thousand dollars—a check he wrote for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis. We're talking about millions of dollars in improvements at Fairly High School.
Three point six million dollars for locker rooms, classroom, and restroom renovations. Millions of dollars, John P. Freeman Optional School, fifty thousand dollars to the Memphis Police Association, and get this: XAI was the presenting sponsor of Starry Nights in twenty twenty five.
So, those are just some of the things that Elon has been doing for the community. And here is my question for all those big, fat, magenta-haired slobs at City Hall: What have you done? What have you done for the city of Memphis? What have you done to make our city great again? What have you done to beautify the city of Memphis?
I ask that question of of of of Justin Pearson, the state representative. I'm curious about his charitable donations. Does he actually care about his community, or is he just a big blowhard with a big afro? I'm just curious, asking questions here, folks. Just asking questions.
Elon Musk has done. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Elon Musk has done more for the city of Memphis over the past two years than Justin Pearson and all these. What has it done? The defecate Memphis crowd. All those folks have done in the history of their organizations.
No doubt about it.
So you know what? Instead of Pitching a fit, maybe just maybe the folks over at Defecate Memphis and all these other radical left-wing groups ought to write a thank you note to Elon Musk for the great work he's doing here in Memphis. Just a thought. And one final question: As we go to break here, I'm just curious, who's picking up the bill for having to fumigate City Hall after all of those nasty protesters were in there? Just asking.

So. One of the most contentious, weird races that we have in Shelby County is the Germantown School Board race. It is—I have never gotten so much hate mail for who I endorsed and who I voted for than this particular race. And that individual happens to be here in studio this morning, Vicky Gandy, who is the Republican nominee for the school board in Germantown. Vicky, good to have you with us today.
Thank you, Todd. I'm glad to be. I'm glad to be here. Yeah, look, I have. I've been getting all sorts of nasty messages because I endorsed you, and I have a very simple policy.
I happen to be a registered Republican, and I support the Republican nominee.
So, if you win the Republican primary, I'm going to vote for you. It's a pretty simple thing for me. What is going on in Germantown right now? I have no idea. I'm just running as a conservative Republican, like I have always run.
I've been pretty transparent about my my faith and my beliefs and what party I support. It's not like this is a big surprise, but apparently, I'm rattling some cages, and I don't even know why. No, well, you are, and and again, well, you know, if your opponent wants to come on the program, we'll be more than happy to have her on. I don't think it's her. I've never met the person.
She seems like a very nice person, and you've said nothing. Every time I talk to you, you've said nothing but nice things about your opponent.
So I just don't understand why all the hate and vitriol is being directed at you here. Yes, and she is. I she's a fellow real estate agent and. We've spoken several times and are trying really hard. But she and I both are trying to continue to be very fair and kind to one another.
And we've had a discussion about it a couple of times because it is hard, but. Because you know we're in competition, and that's normal. But she is a very sweet person, and I think we'll be friends. Hopefully, afterwards, whatever happens. I mean, one of the message boards in Germantown has especially been ugly to you, using all sorts of words we can't even use on the radio to describe you.
They are coming after your supporters. I understand they even came after after a restaurant because you guys held a campaign event at this restaurant. Yes. That seems to be. These people are doing this.
They kind of hide behind their little words. They don't make anything. Yeah, I've never seen anyone say anything to me.
Some of them are actually. Related to some of the school board members, which is kind of scary. But I, I just ignore it and move forward. I don't even read it. It's not there's no sense in it.
Is it true? The other side actually said they were videoing you the other day. Yes, yes. Yesterday there was a person there that I have known from earlier campaigns that was there and videoing me, and several people saw her and said she's videoing you again. She did the last time.
I was. I'm just talking to you know voters. Telling them about what I stand for, also talking about our Tennessee Constitution amendments, just so they would have you know be informed. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. That's it.
I'm not. Stealing anything or hitting anyone? I'm just doing my job. Joy Joy Williams is the other. Yes.
So and so that's their whole shtick is that their campaign is all full of joy. I have not seen a lot of joy from those supporters, and I just I saw it firsthand when I went to go vote early. And I wouldn't say Acosta, but they they're very aggressive. Come up to you, and I said I'm voting for the Republican, and boy, all you know what broke loose.
Well, I haven't had they haven't said much. To me, but I have been hearing that. But you know, but it's definitely it's it's hard because. Politics are just dirty and ugly, unfortunately. I didn't realize it before I ran the first time.
I've learned a lot. Why are you running for the school board? I am running because I'm a mother of five sons. I want our school system to be great, and I started that school system. I was on the committee that started my Germantown schools, what eleven, twelve years ago, and and I watched all that happened and what we had to go through to get it done.
And it's made a huge difference. And it just so happens yesterday I went. On a tour of the school because I'm a real estate agent and they want us to come through and I spent about six hours there. It was amazing. I'm so proud of our school system and I wanted to keep it great.
It's it's just I mean you can't. I was amazed myself even though I thought I had seen everything, but no, they just are continually improving. And Jason Manuel has done a fabulous job. What is the big issue? the the The biggest concern you have for Germantown schools?
Well, I just want to keep us Germantown. I don't want to see is if we can possibly keep as many, you know, citizens in. And one of the things that they're doing, which I think is a great idea, and I'm promoting this as well, is grandparents. If you have a grandchild, then you could bring your child into the school system, which is ideal because it's still a resident, and that puts another Germantown resident into school instead of someone being transferred in. And I think that's what keeps us great.
When when you look at the school system, and it's one of the premier school districts, I think in the entire state of Tennessee, what is it that the school system has done a good job of?
Well, they're they're expanding CTE classes, you know, and and technology, all that. It's just so wonderful that they're looking at not necessarily going to college. Kids can actually have you know employment ideas and suggestions that they can start and consider instead. Having to do the four year college and getting the expenses, and and we need that, you know. In real estate, we're losing all our HVAC people and all that; they're all retiring, and we need people to do those type jobs.
And I know there are a lot of big dollar projects that are coming up, and you're not going to be one of those yes men. And I think that's ultimately the big rub here. Yeah, there's big money at play, and somebody doesn't want you on that school board. They don't, and I'm not sure why, but yes, no, I will, I will stand my ground. I'm not a, I mean, I love to be a team player, but Yeah.
I have a big mouth, as you know. You know me really well, and I talk a lot. And I I will stand up, and I'm not afraid to. That's the one thing about living with six men. Fair enough.
Fair enough. Vicky, where can people go if they want to get more information about your campaign? Um, you can just go on my website. It's Vicky Gandy, B S E K I Gandy, four number four, gmsd. dot com.
All right, Vicky Gandy running for school board. And again, we invite all the candidates on this program. If you want to come, if you want to come, all This program, all you have to do is call, and we make room for all of the candidates here. But Vicky Gandy has run a very good campaign and a decent campaign, and it's too bad. It's really unfortunate that there are a lot of jackasses in Germantown.
Apparently, that's unfortunate. All right, Vicky. Good to see you. Good luck out there. Thank you, Todd, and thank you so much for your support.
God bless you. All right, it's folks. It's the craziest thing. This it's an election. Take a big deep breath.
Okay, it's not like the end of the world here. All right, we're gonna we're gonna take a quick break. Lauren Pinkston is running for governor. We're gonna have a conversation with her coming up next. We'll be right back, everybody.

Great to have you with us here on the Mighty Nine Ninety. You just heard from Vicky Candy running for school board there in Germantown. I'm just telling you, though, that school board race is ugly, just ugly. And Vicky Candy has really taken the high road here, and and I appreciate that. And just really unfair.
I don't like it when people get bullied. And that's when I step in, and it just had to say something about that. But come on, folks, be better than that. I know a lot of these folks are alleged churchgoers too.
Sometimes they're the worst. All right, a big rumor percolating out there about who the next U.S. senator, the junior senator from Tennessee, is going to be.
So look, here's let's just we'll displace a make believe here. Let's just say that Marshall Blackburn does in fact become the governor of Tennessee. If that's the case, our understanding is that she has already decided she will not resign until she becomes governor, which means she will be the one to decide who the next senator is.
So it will not be Governor Bill Lee.
So we already know that part of the puzzle piece.
So the next question is: Okay, well, who is Blackburn going to pick? There had been some general thought that it might be. Congressman Tim Burchett or Knoxville Mayor Glenn Jacobs, who has served as served on her campaign team, and those are both. I think Burchett would be a fine choice, no doubt about it. Don't know a lot about don't know a lot about the the mayor's politics, but again, I don't think we're going to be sending liberals to to Congress from Tennessee.
Now there's another story that's rumbling out there, and that story involves War Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Now there have been some rumblings in Washington that Hegseth may be a short-termer. In the Pentagon, in other words, Hegseth maybe. I mean, there. These are just rumors, nothing confirmed. That Hegseth maybe maybe calling it quits after the midterm elections.
If that is the case, then this story would make would make a little bit more sense. But the rumblings, and I think all of this started out of the Knoxville News Sentinel. The rumblings are that Pete Hegseth could be appointed as the next senator from the great state of Tennessee.
Now Hegseth is now lives in Tennessee. He's from Middle Tennessee, but the question is: Is Hegseth a bona fide Republican?
Now, certainly, Blackburn can appoint whoever she wants to to the seat. But the reality is, when Hegseth has to run again for office, will he be a bona fide Republican? Would he then be able to run on his own? And that's the rub right now.
So, it's it's a fascinating idea. Just curious, what do you think about having a a senator by the name of Pete Hegseth from the great volunteer state nine zero one two six zero five nine two six That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. Want to play some audio here? And again, this is you know as we look. At some of the national, the national politics out there, President Trump posting this item on his social media feeds.
Cut number ten. He's a true American. He puts God first. He loves our country. His children are amazing.
And you know what? Why personally that I voted for him? Because he's never had a drop of alcohol in his life. He's never had a drop of alcohol in his life. And any man that can go through what he's been through and never have a drink, I think he's amazing.
He is a He's an amazing man. He's amazing. He's so smart. He's genuine. Yes, he's tells it like it is.
But I'm telling you right now, I think he has America true in his heart. And a lot of people feel the same way. CNN, meanwhile, is in panic mode. That Trump supporters and Trump voters are simply ignoring the phone calls from these pollsters out there. And now, if you've been watching CNN or PMS now lately, over the past I don't know forty-eight, seventy-two hours, you've noticed there has been a shift in their coverage, going from a blue tsunami to.
Maybe not a blue tsunami. Cut number six, please. What do you think the polls may be missing? Do you think they're they're undersampling the kind of voter that Trump usually brings out, sort of non-engaged voters that that may not respond to a phone call from a pollster? We know that they don't respond respond to phone calls.
We know that in the exit polling back in twenty sixteen, I say this publicly because I want people to hear this. I teach at West Point. I cannot lie, cheat or steal. The cadets can't. I can't.
I got 2016 wrong. I believed in the exit polls. Trump voters walked away, refused to participate because they thought that it was against them. They thought that the polls were all biased, and that's what Republicans are being told right now. Don't believe the polls; they're not accurate.
Well, they may be. We're about to find out, but I'm still skeptical. In the end, Republicans are less likely to participate. They're less likely to believe the polls are happening. But I'm most interested in turnout.
In the end, and there are ways to measure it, and I'm not convinced that they're doing it—that they're polling how the electorate overall feels and not polling the people actually going to participate. But in the end, who the hell cares? How do you get around that, though? That's why you have to do focus groups. That's why you have to do one-on-one interviews.
I can tell by looking at you if you're going to participate or not. And these are people who are counted in the polls, but I know they're not going to vote. Wow! They sit like this. Their hands are folded, and they don't really care.
And they're looking down and looking around because they're not engaged. They're not involved, and turnout determines everything. And I ask the viewers. Pay attention to how they've asked the questions about turnout. It's not whether you say you are going to vote or not, because people lie.
How interested are you in the election? Number one. Number two is how often do you collect election news, political news, and number three, how often do you talk politics to your friends and neighbors? Those are three essential questions in determining turnout. And I hate to say this, but a lot of polls don't ask it.
All right, that's Frank Luntz over at CNN dropping some truth bombs.
Now, last night, and we do not have any live report. We did not send a reporter to cover this event. But Jerry Green, who is trying to portray herself as some sort of a moderate Democrat, held a drag show fundraiser last night. And this was it was really bizarre. This was in Nashville, at a at a place a gay bar formerly known as Peckers, and it is now a Latino gay bar.
And so, anyway, they had the campaign very excited about this. The drag queen who was hosting the event at Tracks Two Three Seven, known as Veronica Electronica, not exactly the most attractive drag queen, if you know what I mean. I don't know if this was from the discount. I don't know. I don't know.
It. I mean, it came from the discount store. I do not know. How they get their drag queens over at the DNC headquarters, but anyway, the drag Marsha drag show benefiting Jerry Green held last night in Nashville, and the it was advertised in a very odd way. Come see the queens do what Marsha can't, and I mean I'm not sure this is actually a head scratcher, but I'm thinking right away.
Well. The drank queens can pee standing up. I mean, that's one thing they can do that Marcia can't. I, I don't know. It's very odd, but ladies and gentlemen, it does illustrate that Jerry Green is a far leftist.
And Jerry Green, when you go down her the list of things that she supports—abolishing ICE, opening our borders, defunding the police, boys and girls sports—I mean, the list goes on and on and on. And you really do have to wonder exactly who Jerry Green really is.
So, all you folks out there on the Republican. Inside and you know who you are that are that that for some reason do not like Marshall Blackburn and it'll give maybe a legitimate reason but if you stay home and don't vote or you cast your vote for the independent you are going to be electing Jerry Green as the next governor of Tennessee I mean it really is that simple so don't mess around here folks you got to get behind Marshall Blackburn and let's get her across the finish line all right we've got to take a break nine zero one two Six zero five nine two six our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. We'll be right back. And welcome back, everybody.
I'm Todd Starnes, and you're listening to the Mighty 990. If you're looking for some fun stuff to do, the South Haven Police Department hosting a free Trunk or Treat on Sunday. Families invited out. It's going to be a lot of fun. One until three o'clock in the afternoon.
That's going to take place at the South Haven Police West Precinct. On Highway 51 North, so be sure to get your get your little youngsters dressed up and to get out there for the big trunk or treat. Also, Salvation Army asking us pass along this information. The Croc Center hosting a free fall celebration tomorrow. The Fall Fun Bash begins at eleven o'clock in the morning, goes on until two o'clock, and this year's event has a rodeo theme.
So they're going to be lots of. Activities, lots of food and concessions, all of that happening at the Kroch Center over on East Parkway South.
So you're going to want to be able to do that as well. One final note to share with you: a free international festival hosted by our friends at Bellevue Baptist Church. That's taking place tomorrow. The Memphis Cup of Nations and Family Festival starts at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and goes on until. Six o'clock tomorrow evening.
There are going to be lots of wonderful things to do, including a parade of flags that starts at ten o'clock tomorrow morning at Bellevue, Bellevue Baptist Church.
Some very sad news coming out of Collierville this morning. Many of you are familiar in the Collierville area with the Russell Farm Supply Company. There was a big fire overnight. The building was damaged. And there was one fatality: the beloved parrot Popeye.
The beloved parrot Popeye did not survive the fire. Popeye, the parrot, had called the store home for decades, and no word on what exactly caused the damage. But it was the damage was concentrated toward the center of the building. Popeye was forty-four years old.
Well, that's um. Not too bad for a for a parent, but certainly our condolences there to. Papi, the parent and his family, nine zero one two six zero five nine two six our telephone number. That's nine zero one two six zero five nine two six. A lot of voters out there.
And by the before we get to that, we were expecting Lauren Pinkston to join us. The campaign had actually reached out to us asking if they could come on the show today, and we agreed to do that. And then they stood aside.
So, no, I don't know why. We're you know we're very we're very friendly folks around here.
So anyway, we'll find out what happened to let you know on Monday. Anyway, this this voter warning about a major threat that we are facing in this nation, cut number twelve. Democrats, I get it. Everybody's mad. The prices are high.
I feel it too. I voted for Donald Trump. Do I like everything he does? No. But are you aware of the fact?
And I, I think you're aware of it. That Muslims are using you to get into office. I know this is true because I've been getting messages from Muslims, ex-Muslims, all around the world, who are telling me that ever since I started posting about the Quran, that yes, this is the truth. Muslims are trying to take over our country, and they are using the Democrats to do it. I just want to put the message out there.
You know, when you go to vote, if you haven't voted already, please be mindful of this. We've got to save our country. We don't want to lose our country to Islam or socialism. You know, you think you're mad now. If that stuff gets into power, just just wait until you see what happens then.
So, anyway, vote wisely. Yeah. Again, folks, you got to be smart. We are facing a clear and present danger to the republic right now, and it is a double whammy. You've got the rise of political Islam, and you also have the rise of the of the DSA, the rise of communism, and we're looking at both of those big issues here in here in our part of the country as we're watching.
For example, Justin Pearson is. Palling around with Hassan Piker, who said that America deserved 9 11. America deserved the atrocities that happened on that day. You heard no condemnation from Justin Pearson.
So Justin Pearson is out there claiming to be this woke little victim all the time. When in fact, this guy is a nasty, nasty player. That I'm serious, and if you think that those shenanigans—calling the state trooper an effer boy, calling the white state trooper a boy, and getting up in his face, calling him a boy—if you think that was limited to just the state capital, you mess around and end up electing this guy to Congress, we're going to Memphis will be the laughing stock of the nation every single day on national television. That's that's who Justin Pearson is, and it's all about Justin Pearson. Justin Pearson has accomplished absolutely nothing with his life.
He's like I don't know Barack Hussein Obama with a power throw. Remember Obama before he was elected? What was he? He was a community organizer. He was a professional rabble rouser.
That's who Barack Obama was, and that's exactly who Justin Pearson is. He hasn't done anything. You go and walk around his district that he represents in the state house, and you just ask people, and they'll tell you the guy hasn't done anything. Not a single thing. That's who Justin Pearson is, and that's exactly what he's going to do when he gets to Washington D.C.
if he gets elected. And again, if there really is a major Democrat surge happening at the polls, and we nobody knows, nobody knows right now. But if there is, then you better buckle up. By the way, Chaz Molder and I know Charlie Hatcher hasn't really done a lot out here campaigning, but let me tell you something about. As Molder, the guy, yeah, he looks like a Republican, sounds like a Republican, but the first vote he's going to take if he's elected is to make Hakeem Jeffries, one of the most liberal men in in Washington, the next Speaker of the House.
That's that's what Chaz Molder is going to do, Chaz Molder. And look, here is the problem: you want to be able to believe that there are some of these Blue Dog Democrats out there in the Southern states, but you can't do that anymore because they'll lie to your face. They'll they'll pretend to be a moderate out on the campaign trail, but as soon as they get elected, well, they become radical leftists. And I would just direct your attention to what happened in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the most recent governor's race. Abigail Spanberger, turns out she's to the left of Lauren Pinkston, who failed to show up for her interview today.
What does that tell you about? No wonder the woman's polling at one percent. Maybe she got wind that we were going to ask her some very difficult questions about abortion and whether or not she believes that that that women should be able to abort their babies on the day of delivery. That was one of the questions we were planning on asking, and it's important for us moving forward to ask these kinds of questions, ladies and gentlemen. You deserve to know who you're voting for.
You deserve to know, and that's one of the reasons why debates are so vitally important.
Next week, there is going to be a gubernatorial debate. You're going to have Pinkston, you're going to have Green, and you're going to have Hanley debating. Marsha Blackburn refuses to debate anybody. Period. No debates from the Republicans.
All right, we've got to scoot out of here, folks. Been a good, good week. We're going to be back at it eleven o'clock exclusively here on the Mighty Nine Hundred and Ninety. The Todd Earnings show. Get out there.
Have a great fun weekend, Memphis.
