Did Ya Hear? There's An Election Coming Up - We'll Talk About It

Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. That's us, that's right, I love this American ride.

Well, how are you? Good afternoon. I am Mary Walter sitting in for Todd Starnes.

So wherever you happen to be, it could possibly be good morning.

So good morning to you, Mary Walter, sitting in for Todd Starnes in the Liberty University Studios. Todd is off. He is at the Spiritual Leadership Conference. I think he's in Pennsylvania. I'm not 100% sure, but I think that's where it is.

I think it's in Pennsylvania.

So that's where he is.

So I get to sit in the seat for him. And Grace has had done herself once again, joining us half an hour, Jeffrey Lord. We love Jeffrey Lord. We're going to discuss the presidential race with him because it's coming down to the wire. This is usually campaigns in this country are two years long, three sometimes, right?

This year we had one campaign and then they pulled out Joe Biden because he's really bad. We're going to go into that later. he's really, really bad. Why? Why is he still pretending to be president?

Why are we still paying him? Because he's not doing anything. I don't understand. But we'll get into that later.

Okay, so this is the shortest presidential campaign race ever because first Trump was running against Biden and then they pulled the old switcheroo, very Democratic, and they put Kamala Harrison. And now we're under 50 days. We're like 44 days, I think, from today to the election. And there's still a lot of stupid people wandering around out there. We have a lot of work to do, people.

Coming up next hour is Governor Scott Walker. He's the president of YAF, Young Americans Foundation. We're going to discuss the youth vote. There's a very, very interesting development in the youth vote in this country. And young men can save this country.

It's interesting. Young men, black men are really the ones who are going to make a difference this election. and Latino men to a certain extent, not as much as black and young men, but super interesting.

So we're going to talk to him about that. And then the last hour, we winded up with Mary Rook from the Daily Caller. She's got some problems with the Harris campaign. We'll talk about that.

So, okay, you can follow me on X at Mary Walter Radio. There's no S in that. It's just Mary Walter Radio. I have a podcast tomorrow night. It's every Tuesday, 7.15 p.m.

Eastern Time. It is live on YouTube and Getter. Just look for a Mary Walter radio. When you watch live on YouTube or get her, you can participate. You can ask questions.

You can, you can leave comments. We have a really good group of people. And so it goes by really fast. It goes by really, really fast. And I have no idea who my guest is yet because I'm still waiting to hear back.

So, so it'll be fun. Find out who the guest is tomorrow night. The, the audio, that's it. The audio is available on Apple podcasts and Spotify. Also look for Mary Walter radio.

Okay.

So I want to get into a little bit of news that has just come across my feed this morning.

So I want to get to that. This to me, there's two things I find super interesting. The DOJ released a letter from Ryan Ruth. He was the guy who allegedly tried to get Trump at the golf course, what, two weeks ago? The second attempt.

I don't know how he mailed a letter without them looking at it. Because I thought like when you go to jail, they open your mail. And just to see what you're saying in the letters.

So apparently he sent a letter to a friend. Oh, wait a minute. Hold on. Let me, let me step this back. This is new.

He didn't send it from prison. That's why it's out there. I apologize. It came to him several months. He sent this to a friend several months before the assassination attempt.

Now, why the heck that person would not hand that over to the DOJ or the FBI right away? I'd be on the phone right away. This is the one time I actually want to speak to you, people. I think this is important, right? And in this letter, he says, he writes in this letter, Dear World, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I'm so sorry I failed you.

I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job, and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job. Everyone across the globe, from the youngest to the oldest, know that Trump is unfit to be everything, much less a president. And then it goes on. Here's the thing.

Where's this guy getting $150,000?

Now, I realize he's probably crazy. He didn't have $150,000, right? And I think anyone who was serious, like, took that seriously, would say, hmm, I need to see some kind of credit check first. You know, I'm not going to go to jail for possible or get killed. for that.

So I think this may be a crazy thing, but something doesn't fit with me with this. Both attempts. This one too. First of all, we're not allowed to see the manifesto from the Nashville shooter. Remember?

The chick who was becoming a dude. We weren't allowed to see that because of safety. Because it can endanger people. But this they put out there? This is out there on the World Wide Web.

This the DOJ released. How is this not a threat to Donald Trump? How? But we can't release the Nashville Shooters Manifesto? That's far more important than this?

Are you kidding me?

So that's the first thing. That's the first thing. And I kind of went back and forth about whether I should read it or not, but it's everywhere, so you can read it.

So I thought, all right, it's not like me not reading it is going to change anything. But I would also think that if someone sends this to you, is it not incumbent upon you? Is it not your civic duty to pick up the phone, call somebody, you know, just say, hey, heads up, I got this. This probably isn't good. Who sits on something like that?

I get that you can hate Trump, but if somebody said that about Harris or Biden or anybody, I would be on the phone right away. I don't understand. I just don't understand. By the way, Todd's in Lancaster, California. Oh, see, I live in the Northeast, so I automatically think Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

And it's a very spiritual place, so that would be a good place. California, I don't think of it that much as spiritual.

Okay.

So, well, there you go.

So he's in California.

So I have a lot of questions. This guy traveled all over the world. He was in Turkey. He was in Europe. He was traveling to Ukraine.

If you travel to Ukraine, I think the State Department has to know. When I went with my husband years ago, back in the 90s, to Yugoslavia, we went to Medjugorje, which is for Catholics, it's a religious pilgrimage. And we wanted to go. And they were having a little bit of a problem there. A little civil thing was going on in the former, now the former Yugoslavia.

And it was breaking apart. We had to register with the State Department before we went because there was a warning that said, you know, it's probably not a good idea to go here. There was a travel warning and we had to register before we left. This guy didn't have to register to go to Ukraine.

So the State Department had to know he was there, right? 901-260-5926, 901-260-KWAM. You can also reach out to me on X at Mary Walter Radio if you want to weigh in.

So the first thing is the DOJ deciding that, well, we're just going to put this letter out there, you know, calling for assassins on Trump's life. What? But again, maybe it's because I'm going to try to give credit where credit is due. And I try to step back and see it, you know, objectively. This guy isn't giving $150,000 to anybody.

So it's probably moot at this point. but they won't release the Nashville Shooters Manifesto.

So, okay. I have a little problem with that. But there are so many unanswered questions about this guy. He's got a home in Hawaii. He's got a home in North Carolina, but he makes about $3,000 a month.

He's flying. Just to fly from Hawaii to the States, to North Carolina, is thousands and thousands of dollars.

So where is the money coming from with this guy? I'm pretty sure they know. And then Thomas Crooks had, what, two overseas bank accounts? He was contacting people overseas. A lot of unanswered questions for me with both of these.

And I hate to say that. Ten years ago, I don't think I would question it as much. But now, I question it a lot. I hate to say that I don't have faith in the alphabet agencies in our federal government, but I don't.

Now, do I think there are some really good rank and file members of those units? Yeah, I know some of them. I know some guys, Secret Service, and some guys have left Secret Service. And they will tell you that in general, the rank and file is frustrated as we are. That leadership is really corrupt.

That leadership is bad. Leadership is woke. And not red-pilled woke. Woke, the other way woke. And because of that, there is a political agenda around everything that they do.

And that's really, really bad. 901-260-5926, 901-260, KWAM is the number. I have some other new news that I want to share with you. And we also have to get Jeffrey Lord coming up here in about 15 minutes on the Todd Starnes Show. You've asked and MyPillow listened.

Todd is off the Spiritual Leadership Conference in California. There's apparently more than one town named Lancaster in the country.

So he's in California.

And I'm so excited I get to welcome some new listeners on WLYJ in Mississippi and WLYJ in Georgia.

Well, welcome. Welcome to the family. We're so glad to have you. All right. Before Jeffrey Lord gets here, I just want to share this.

There is from the House, from the Committee on House Administration. They put out a press release, of course, on a Friday, because that's where you put out a press release that you want buried, but Republicans don't learn.

So they put it out on Friday. And they found that the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, the chair, Barry Loudermilk, revealed that days before January 6th of 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders, urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. The transcripts released show that Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6th peaceful, including using the National Guard. Boom. There it is.

They've been lying to us for four years. We know they've been lying, but they have been lying for three years. They've been lying for three years, including the National Guard, which the Pentagon leaders ignored. This revelation directly contradicts the conclusions drawn in the flawed Department of Defense IG report on January 6th of 2021.

So they lied in their report as well. I was just saying, I never thought I'd get to that point in my life in this country where I couldn't believe the alphabet agencies. You know, if the FBI, I'm sure I'm on a watch list. All of us in talk radio are on some watch list somewhere. And, you know, fly the American flag or the Trump flag.

You're definitely on a watch list.

So, yay. If they came to my door, forget it. Bye-bye. I'm sorry. You can be really good.

Rank file. I don't want to treat you like dirt. I'm not going to treat you like dirt. But I'm not answering questions. You're not coming to my home.

I want to see. I'm videotaping the whole thing. I'm covering my butt. And that's sad. The chair, Barry Loudermilk, said Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives.

President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were safe. It is very concerning that these senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump's guidance and misled congressional leaders to believe they were doing their job when they were not. The DOD's IG report is fundamentally flawed. Is that a nice way of saying lying? It's lied, full of lies.

Have you noticed that? We don't say lies anymore. It's too harsh.

So now we say misinformation and disinformation. I don't know what the difference is. I just know when I see those words, lies are a-coming. It does not draw conclusions from the interviews they conducted, but pushes a narrative to keep their hands clean. We have many questions for them, And we will continue to dig until we are satisfied the American people know the truth.

And you can go to cha.house.gov and look for this and search on transcripts, January 6th. And you can pull up and you can read the transcripts in full. And there are some highlights. They say, previously concealed by the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Defense, the subcommittee has uncovered statements by key personnel involved in the deployment of the D.C. National Guard to the U.S.

Capitol on January 6, 2021. These new transcripts indicate that senior Pentagon officials unnecessarily delayed the D.C. National Guard response to the Capitol due to optics concerns. The DOD, the IG, Inspector General, claims that the actions at the Pentagon were, quote, reasonable in light of circumstances at the Capitol on January 6th. The IG also determined that, quote, DoD officials did not delay or obstruct the DoD's response to the Capitol Police's request for assistance on January 6th, 2021.

But they go on to say that the transcripts reveal otherwise. Joint Chiefs, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley, he's a piece of work, recalled a conversation between the acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller, and President Trump. Milley, the president just says, hey, look at this. There's going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th. Make sure you have sufficient National Guard or soldiers to make sure it's an event safe.

It's a safe event. POTUS said, I don't care if you use Guard or soldier or active duty soldiers. Do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. Milley responds by saying, we've got a plan.

We've got it covered. On January 5th, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on the D.C. National Guard Commander Major William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy's explicit permission on January 6th and 7th.

So they restricted the National Guard. Liar liars. On January 6th, the outer perimeter on the west front of the U.S. Capitol was breached by rioters at 12.53 p.m., while Trump, by the way, was still speaking. The D.C.

National Guard arrived five hours later. There's a timeline here you can click on if you want to dive into this more. These transcripts proved President Trump's senior Pentagon leaders were focused on optics instead of doing their job as the Capitol was breached. Miller, there was absolutely, this is the D.C. National Guard commander says, there was absolutely, there is absolutely no way I was putting military forces at the Capitol, period.

Excuse me, that was not the commander.

Okay, now let's go to Director of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Pyatt. Was optics a concern for us as we prepared to use soldiers in downtown Washington, D.C.? Absolutely. His counsel, his lawyer, Colonel Earl Matthews, said, we were seeing the Congress of the United States being overrun in the Guard, in the Capitol Police, the Metro Police Department. They need help.

We had people at the D.C. Armory who were able to help, and they're not moving. They're not allowed to move because of Secretary McCarthy's decree that they could not move unless they got explicit permission from him. at 3.04 he provided verbal approval to Secretary McCarthy for immediate deployment of the National Guard they were not deployed though until 5.08 what happened in that two hours why did he not communicate that approval for two hours National Guard Commander Sergeant Major Michael Brooks said they were ready to go and they just couldn't understand why they're still sitting there they're literally sitting on a bus just waiting to drive to the Capitol and do the best they could to support the Capitol Police. At 3.18, as I said, two hours would pass before they got the green light, and then two hours would pass.

In those two hours, the D.C. National Guard had been trying to reach Secretary McCarthy, but they were unable to. Walker tried to call Secretary McCarthy three times between 2.30 and 5 o'clock, and he testified. I haven't heard from him all day. When he tried to call his cell phone, it went straight to voicemail.

So that's breaking news. That's big. And you're not going to see it anywhere because the mainstream media doesn't want you to know it. Because they need to hammer Donald Trump with, but January 6th. But January 6th.

They need to keep doing that. Look it up. C-H-A dot house dot gov. We'll take you to the webpage and just search on January 6th Donald Trump and the press releases. It should be there.

You guys are so lucky. All our new listeners, you're so lucky. Joining us right now is Jeffrey Lord. He's the author at the American Spectator, Newsbusters, Daily Caller, Media Research Center. I see him everywhere.

You can follow him on X at Real Jeffrey Lord. Jeffrey, welcome to the show. How are you? I'm just great, Mary, on this rainy Pennsylvania day.

Well, I'm at the Jersey Shore and I'm freezing. It's like 62 degrees here. I had to run around the house closing the windows. I woke up and suddenly it's winter. I don't know how it happened.

Send some of that rain our way. I don't want to be a downer here, but I have this feeling winter is coming. this is Liz I love I love this time of year I'm a big fan of it I'm the stereotypical white girl who loves sweaters and boots and curling up and hot cocoa and everything pumpkin flavor love it all but I just was not prepared that's my problem I'm going to break out some sweaters so let's talk let's talk about our friend Donald Trump I know that you you know him well and we were just talking about you're in Pennsylvania I saw Scott Pressler, who's doing a yeoman's job in Pennsylvania of registering Republican voters in flipping counties from blue to red, he's doing a phenomenal job. He seems to think that one of the keys to Trump winning Pennsylvania is the Amish community. We all know if you live in the area, everybody knows who the Amish are, right?

And they're not on social media. They don't have that ability. Do you think that Scott is right, number one, and is it valuable enough to get their votes for Trump to do some kind of rally there? I'll tell you an Amish story. This is from long ago, but I think it's relevant.

I went to college in Franklin Marshall College in Lancaster, which is a county filled with Amish folks. And in the campaign of 1970, which was the election year in Pennsylvania for governor and U.S. senator, President Richard Nixon was campaigning around the country for Republican candidates. he came to Lancaster.

So I, of course, being involved in the College Republicans, went to the Lancaster Airport. And there I am, and you've got to imagine the scene, a whole crowd of people. In comes Marine One. He was on the helicopter for a landing. And I look around the crowd and notice, oh, my goodness, there's a whole crowd of Amish people there with horses and buggies.

Yeah. Which just sort of blew my mind. And, you know, wearing this, the men were wearing the straw hats that had the beards and suspenders and all this, and the women were all suitably garbed with the hats and everything. It's just kind of the sort of juxtaposition between the horse and buggy and the helicopter blew my mind. But what it said to me was, yeah, they could be quietly political.

And so I fully expect that, you know, that that kind of thing has not changed. And they will be doing very quietly and unobserved their thing for Donald Trump. I would believe that. I actually saw posted a Trump train, and it wasn't cars. It was Amish horse and buggy.

And they had their Trump flags on the sides of the horse and buggies, and they were right down the street. They were going at a good clip. There they went.

So I think maybe they're showing their politics a little bit more. There are, you know, it's just another one of those groups that I think you're starting to see. And I think it's due to work on the ground from people like Scott Pressler and others who are, you know, we have Governor Scott Walker coming up with YAF. They're going after the younger people, obviously. Let's also talk about censorship and its role in all of this.

Because we saw in the last election, the 2020 election, we saw what censorship did to swing that election, right? We saw what censorship did with the Hunter Biden laptop, and you wrote a piece about this on MRC. And you know the difference between Hillary Clinton flat out calling for censorship and how they treat that, the media, when she does it versus how they would treat it if Donald Trump was doing this. And I find it so interesting that the left is perfectly comfortable now just calling for flat out censorship. Does this journey ever go back in the bottle, or is this where we're headed?

Well, I think eventually it'll be forced back into the bottle. But for the moment, I think it's out there, and it is very concerning to see the Hillary Clintons of the world, and specifically Hillary Clinton, saying that we should do this like Europe and clamp down on free speech and do more censorship and all of this kind of thing. I mean, that is so un-American, but more specifically, it's dangerous. of who's going to decide who gets censored. And you're quite right.

I guarantee you, if this were Donald Trump doing this, they would go crazy, and they should, frankly, for anybody to be doing it. Right. And I was just talking about this piece that came out, because Republicans are just so bad at messaging. I think you and I have discussed this. They're horrible at messaging.

So they sent out this press release on Friday about what they found from testimony examining the January 6th delay of where was the National Guard. And they find out that, you know, they release this information on a Friday that, yeah, the National Guard, they didn't release the National Guard because of optics. And there was two hours and they had to get permission from one specific person and the National Guard kept calling him and his phone went straight to voicemail. And when the permission was granted for him, he took two hours to get in touch with the National Guard.

So there's a lot of unanswered questions, but can you imagine if this, to use your point, was switched and this was, you know, the Trump administration that was having this happen, you know, or if it was Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, who was out there and they didn't protect Joe Biden and they didn't protect the White House and they didn't do what Joe Biden told them to do. The headlines would be crazy. And this didn't even get so much as a blip on the radar. No, no. I mean, one of the things we have to face is that the liberal, quote-unquote, mainstream media really is biased.

And one of the tools for the trade is journalism by omission. You know, the most prominent example being suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story in the New York Post. This is who they are. and if they've got a story that cuts against their image and their view of what should be known by the public, they will, in fact, suppress it, and that's what's so dangerous. But this playbook, the thing that drives me crazy, and I see it all the time, and I just don't know what to do, and maybe you could tell people who are listening now, we all know people who seem to be relatively sane and function in the real world just fine, but yet they can't they don't connect their vote with the outcome.

So you see them moving from California to Georgia you see them turning North Carolina blue North Carolina is turning blue because of the people from New York and New Jersey who left those deep blue states to a red state and then they campaign and they work super hard to turn it blue I don't know how you fix that, how you even address that and they don't connect it So what you've got to do, and I'll give you an example. Just this past week, I was asked to give a speech in nearby Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Carlisle is the county seat of Cumberland County, which in turn is a very large suburban county right across the river from Harrisburg, from the state capitol.

Well, it was at the Republican headquarters in Carlisle. It was the Republican County Committee. I would say there were 40 to 50 people there. And in my talk, I said, and heads were nodding as I said this, we all know what to do here. This is not some grand thing where you have to buy millions of dollars at television time This is each of you knocking on doors and getting your troops in line to make the phone calls and do the hard work that is you know decidedly not glorified and unseen by others other than the people on whose doors you knocking But that's how these elections are won.

And when you don't do it, that's how they're lost.

So Trump says he doesn't see himself running in 2028, which I can't blame him. It's a hard game. It's exhausting. He's getting older. I don't want to do it now at my age.

I'm exhausted just watching it. And they just treat him so horribly, horribly. I will say this on the positive side. You know, he invited me. I live in, as they say, suburban Harrisburg.

I'm about two and a half hours or so from Johnstown in western Pennsylvania. And he invited me to come out to Johnstown to the rally he did there. And I went, and they took me back to see them and chat and all that kind of thing. But what really struck me was, to get to Johnstown from here, you have to ride partially on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. And then you get off, and you're riding up and down through all these valleys and hills in Pennsylvania.

And what was I seeing? Trump signs everywhere, on people's lawns, on billboards, painted on the side of barns. My favorite was some farmer had plowed the grass on the side of his hill that was facing the turnpike, and he had mowed Trump into it, which was an interesting thing. I love that, but I would like to... I have counted tarot signs in all of this.

I've seen exactly two.

So then... But let me ask you then. Let me ask you. that's great, but before we run out of time, I want to ask you this question. Then how does that benefit him?

He's not getting new voters from that. Because the people that are in that area, they're voting for him. Wouldn't it behoove him more? I remember when we were at CPAC, we talked about him going to Brooklyn, and he did, right?

So doesn't it behoove him more to go to a place like the Amish country, where you advertise it in the newspapers and you make it easy for them to get to in their horse and buggies or walk to, or be back in Chicago somewhere or be in one of these areas that's blue but have illegal aliens up the wazoo and don't like their options right now. I think he is doing some of that, in fairness to him. I mean, I think that's what the, you know, for instance, he was in Long Island in the middle of New York. Yeah, but those counties are red already. Yeah, I know, but the surrounding territory is not.

New York City is decidedly not. and where was it, Uniondale or whatever. I mean, my family, my extended family, it lived partly in Nassau and also largely in Suffolk County. And you're right, they're red areas. But to get there, you've got to go through a lot of blue territory, and I suspect a lot of those people were from these blue areas.

And, you know, there's always an interesting thing here with this, with Trump. And I saw this to some degree with Ronald Reagan. is that you've got people who don't want to admit that they're formed. They don't put up the signs. They don't say anything.

When the pollsters call, they don't say anything. And then they very quietly go to the polls and vote for them. You know, I think we'll see some more of that. I know we're running out of time here, but you saw that. That was 2016, right?

We didn't tell anybody. It was all on the down low. You know, you didn't tell anybody you're voting for Trump. you know I'm already on a watch list so we have the Trump flag flying you know all the time and every time I take a shot at him I put my Trump shirt on and I go to our local bar like every time you people take a shot at him the shirt comes out okay well I have been I have been all over television for so long that I don't need a sign all I have to do is just show up they look at my face and roll their eyes well you know what at least we'll At least we can talk to each other and some other friends when we're all in the re-education camps, Jeffrey. That's it.

I've got about three relatives out of my large family that are on my side.

So we huddle in the corner. Yeah, luckily I'm not in that situation.

So at least join your family. Jeffrey, thank you so much for joining me. It's always such a pleasure to get to speak to you. Have a wonderful week. Thank you.

I forgot to tell you, tonight I'll be on Newsmax TV 435 on the Chris Salcedo Show.

So I'm done here. That's 435 Eastern Time. I'm going to go try to make myself look less scary.

So that I can do TV with Chris Salcedo. And then tomorrow night is my podcast, YouTube and Get Her Live at Mary Walter Radio. All right, let's go to Carlotta from Rhode Island. She called 901-260-5926. Hello, Carlotta.

How are you? Hi. By the way, were you on the David Webb show recently? Yes, I was on Friday.

Well, I was so impressed. And I went to Wikipedia and I looked you up and you have such an impressive background. But anyway, here's my story.

Well, thank you. I'm going to be back there tomorrow and Friday. Tomorrow and Wednesday.

Okay.

Here's my story. after my yoga class I have lunch once a week at this restaurant and it's a fairly moderate price restaurant it's not Applebee's and you know it's okay and so they always put out five or six pats of butter with your bread and this time there was only one pat of butter so I asked for more and I said well how come you only put out one pat of butter and he said well we'll gladly give you all you asked for but we noticed that they were all disappearing no matter how many we put out. And we suspect that people are taking them home because butter is expensive.

Now, right, as I'm saying, as I'm saying, this is not like McDonald's or Applebee's. These are people who can afford to eat in a fairly expensive restaurant.

So this is the way people are cutting corners. That's like my grandmother used to do that. My grandmother from Germany, because, you know, and she had lived through the depression and they came over in the 30s, you know, just before World War II and they came over, but they lived through World War I and my grandfather's brother was killed in World War I, fighting for the wrong side, I might add, but you know, that happens. But she would always have a plastic bag in her pocketbook and she would, every roll that wasn't taken, that wasn't eaten, and they owned a bakery, but she would take rolls from restaurants home and she would go, they throw them out. And then she would take everything.

She would scrape her plate into a bag, a plastic bag, because she didn't believe that they would give her all of her food back if they took it in the back and put it in a to-go box or something. The difference is your grandmother was coming out of a depression mentality. This proves that we are sort of going into one. That's a great point. That's an excellent point.

And listen, I'll tell you a similar story. We went out. I live in New Jersey, so you cannot swing a dead cat without hitting a really great diner.

So we're at a diner and diners are great. Usually they give you a pot of coffee and you'd pay four bucks and it's a pot of coffee and you get several cups out of it. Everybody gets a cup of coffee, maybe two. And we had three people. Two people had French toast with sliced bananas and some walnuts on it.

One person had an omelet with like cheese and spinach in it and three cups of coffee and three sides of bacon. It was almost $100. That's insane. And you don't get the free pot of coffee anymore.

Well, I noticed that. A lot of places you don't. You don't get free refills either. But the butter just blew my mind that it happened with such frequency, the management of the restaurant became aware of it. That is just crazy, but it's not surprising.

Carlotta, thank you so much for joining me. It's a pleasure to speak with you, and thank you for your kind words. It's very special. Have a wonderful week. So, yeah, and I'm curious where you live, because where I am in New Jersey, everywhere you go now, if you don't pay cash, they have a sign up that you pay 2% to 3% more to use a credit card.

So you have to use cash or a debit card. I walk around with a wad of money now like Hunter Biden. It's crazy. I'm curious to hear your answers on the other side. 901-960-5926 on The Todd Starn Show.

So we'll find out maybe during the show. Welcome to our new listeners on WLYJ in Mississippi and WLYG in Georgia. It is great to have you aboard.

So one of the things I want to talk about coming up in about half an hour is Governor Scott Walker. We're going to talk to him about the youth vote, because that is something that's very, very important in this election. Usually it's not because usually they don't vote, but this group is voting more in larger numbers. And I think part of it, it's their indoctrination when they were younger into the whole communist mindset. And so they think they're doing great.

It's for the greater good. You know, they've got that whole thing going on, but not all of them. We're going to find out. We'll talk about that.

So House Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday announced a temporary agreement. And it's going to keep the government open until December 20th.

Now, here's what drives me absolutely bat crap crazy.

Somehow, our politicians don't realize that they have to put a budget together every year. You'd think, I don't know, they would have a budget committee, right? Like maybe one in the House, one in the Senate. They'd have a budget committee. And you would think that the individual agencies would have a budget committee in order to submit their budget.

This is what I need and submit it to the budget committees at the House and Senate. And they could put a budget together. And that would be kind of like a full time job. Like they would have people dedicated to that, you would think. And if they do, whoever's doing it needs to be fired because they're not doing their job and they never do their job.

And we go through this as citizens. We go through this every year, every year. They are shocked. That is the end of the year. We have to do a budget.

Who knew? I can't believe it's here already. They're the same people who are surprised that Christmas comes every December 25th, right?

So December 24th, they're in the 7-Eleven or the Wawa or the Buc-ee's looking for, you know, a pocket fisherman from Ronco to give to their spouses, to give to their wives as a Christmas present because they don't have anything because it, whoops, snuck up on me again.

So because of that, we wind up in this weird position every year. And every time Democrats or every time Republicans want to stand up on principle or Democrats want to stand on principle for something because it's never just a clean budget bill. It's always the budget and a whole bunch of other junk and pork and all this stuff that has nothing to do with the budget they put in there. And we, the people, just sit back and scratch our heads and say, why? Why are we doing this?

And yet here we are again.

So they had to do a continuing resolution. And we have to do this every year, every year, because this time around, the Republicans wanted something called the SAVE Act attached to the budget.

Now, the SAVE Act, it's an election security proposal. And what it would do is it would say, when you want to register to vote, you have to show ID that proves that you're a citizen.

now I'm old enough to remember when I went to go vote my mom took me down to the county seat which is where we had to go had to go to the county seat and it was a very big deal for me it was a big deal because I grew up in farm country rural New Jersey believe it or not New Jersey rural horse country and you know so going to the county seat was a big deal and I remember I had to bring my driver's license now driver's licenses in New Jersey did not even have pictures on we're the last state to have pictures on our driver's licenses. I know. And it was only probably 20 years ago, maybe 25 years ago, we got pictures on our driver's licenses. We were the last one. We still don't have real ID in New Jersey.

It's a lot of people and a lot of very blue and a lot of red tape.

So I had to bring my paper. I had a paper license. Looks like something your grandfather had, right? And so I had to take it down to the county seat. And my mother had to vouch for me that I was, you know, indeed who I said I was on this little piece of paper that was typed.

It was a little typed on this piece of paper. And that was my driver's license. And I had to pick which name I wanted because that was going to be my permanent name forever. You know, do I want my middle initial? Did I want a nickname?

How did I want it? And I signed for it. It was a big deal, but I had to prove that I was a citizen because at the time only citizens could get driver's licenses.

So it was an accepted form of ID. Great. You fast forward to now. Anybody can register. We hand out registrations to vote.

I mean, more than we hand out anything else. You know, trick or treat, it's going to be a decree that every household has to hand out a voter registration form to each kid every time they come to your door to get candy.

So everybody can vote.

So the Republicans said, we're going to put the SAVE Act in, which says you have to provide ID if you want to register to vote. That says that you are an American citizen. And the Democrats don't want that. No way, no how. No way, no how.

because they're playing the game and they'll sit there and tell you, well, it's already illegal to vote if you're not a citizen.

Well, you know what else is illegal? It's also illegal to buy liquor underage, yet we require ID for that.

So if we require liquor to buy, ID to require liquor, wait, flip that around. God, I just sounded like Kamala Harris. if we require ID to buy alcohol, right? And they'll card you into your 20s, 30s, whatever. And if you're really lucky, they'll card you further than that.

God bless you. If that's, even if it's illegal for me to knowingly as a teenager buy alcohol, you know, but so they require ID, why wouldn't we do the same for a vote? Why? Why is the logic suddenly different?

Well, it's already illegal.

Okay, well then don't require ID to buy liquor because it's already illegal and people would never do that. It's illegal to drive without a driver's license.

Okay, well then why do we have driver's licenses? It's already illegal. People know that.

So why do we have it?

So Democrats are against this. And what happened? Republicans caved once again. They are so afraid. They took the SAVE Act out of the budget, which is what Democrats wanted.

So Democrats win again. And they did it because they're afraid that they're going to get blamed for the shutdown of the government because Democrats were going to hold the line and not vote for it because of the addition of the SAVE Act.

Now, there are 14 Republicans who also voted against this, but they're those people who don't know how to go along to get along. They're those Republicans that are just so principled that it's to their own detriment, whereas Democrats know how to circle the wagons. Republicans are in their own little camps, and they're not going to play with each other, even though they're all supposedly going for the same goal. They disagree on how to get there, So they go nowhere. They just don't go anywhere.

Whereas Democrats keep moving forward. It's their symbol. That's their thing. They're progressing. True to their word and their name, they progress.

And Republicans go nowhere. And they sit on their moral high ground and they tut-tut and demonize everybody else and go nowhere and get nothing.

So they were so afraid that Democrats were going to blame Republicans. We're blaming some Republicans before an election that they caved. And I got to tell you, I get it before an election. Republicans get blamed for everything. But that's kind of where they're comfortable.

Because even when it's not an election year, they cave and they give Democrats whatever they want. Why don't we make Republicans, because I'm not a registered Republican. Why don't Republicans make the Democrats own this? that they don't want voter ID. Why not?

Well, it's already illegal.

There's a lot of things that are already illegal, but we still try to stop it from happening. We put roadblocks in place to stop it from happening.

So why not? 901-260-5926. 901-260. KWAM is my number.

So I'm super ticked off at Speaker Johnson. I'm super ticked off at Mitch McConnell, who, by the way, is a never-Trumper. Mitch McConnell is there's too many rhinos.

Someone posted and I retweeted it over the weekend. The problem with Republicans is there are too many of them are Democrats. And that's so true. I love that the Republicans have think for themselves and they they don't necessarily walk in lockstep. I think that that's a good trait.

However, sometimes you got to know when to walk in lockstep.

Sometimes you have to know when to compromise.

sometimes you have to look and say okay i'm gonna lose this round i'm gonna lose the battle but i'm gonna win the war and they just don't know how to do it it drives me nuts and on top of all that you know the first amendment is under attack you know that i know that but did you know that you can help protect your constitutional rights just by using your cell phone uh-huh patriot mobile is america's only christian conservative wireless provider they will always support freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.

Welcome back to the Todd Starnes Show. Coming up in about 15 minutes. You're not even 15 minutes. Governor Scott Walker will be joining us. He is the president of the Young Americans Foundation.

YAF, as we like to call it in the biz. All right. So Joe Biden, they brought Joe Biden out of cold storage. And he was at a press conference, which that's just a minefield for him. It was on Saturday with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Now, he was doing some talking, a little talking. And then he was supposed to introduce the president, the prime minister of India, Modi. All right. Just listen to it. If you haven't heard already, you will probably have to play it twice for you because it's quick.

Go ahead.

So I want to thank you all for being here. And now who am I introducing next? Who's next? Distinguished guests, the prime minister of the Republic of India.

So he's at that angry stage of dementia. Don't say it to be funny. My grandfather had dementia. I get it. They hit an angry point, and he's in the angry point.

And I think part of it is because they don't know really what's going on.

So it's scary. And I understand that. And I, God forbid, never want to be in that position. I can't imagine what it's like. He shouldn't be president right now.

Why are we still paying this man? It's an embarrassment on the world stage. The prime minister is just sitting there, and it's quiet.

So someone had to step in quickly and introduce the prime minister, because Biden had no clue where he was or what was going on. Who's next? Who's next? He thought he had no idea. And you could see people on the side, and there's someone telling Modi to just stand up and go up and shake it.

So he comes up to shake his hand, and Biden's looking, you know, that 10-mile stare that they get. If you've ever had a relative with dementia, you understand, you know that stare that they get. His mouth kind of hangs open a little bit, and Biden's like, and he shakes his hand, and he gets a smile on his face. He's still got a little bit in there because he's still playing the part so much. But why is he still president?

Anybody? Bueller? Can anybody tell me why he's still president? He's sitting there yelling, who's next? It was so unpresidential.

You know, left likes to say that all the time. It was so unpresidential. It was terrible.

Now, also terrible. Joe Biden can be in his cabinet on Friday for the first time since October of 2023. I don't know, there was war in Israel breaking out October 10th, our closest ally in the Middle East. No cabinet meeting. All of this does nothing to update people on Ukraine.

Nothing. No cabinet meeting. This just goes to show more and more, in my humble opinion, that why do we have a government? Seriously, the government could be half the size it currently is and we'll be just fine. No cabinet meetings.

If this were Trump, no cabinet meetings for almost a year, the left would be apoplectic, demanding he be impeached again for the 18th time. And so who's there? Dr. Jill Biden. You know, just in case they need a sentence deconstructed or something, that English major, Dr.

Jill, English doctor, could just jump right in to help him out.

So here she is. And the last sitting first lady to attend her husband's cabinet meeting was Hillary Clinton.

So he's there, and he talks to her a little bit, and then he ends and he hands it off to his wife and says, It's all yours, kid. And she starts to leave the cabinet meeting. I didn't vote for her.

Now, I didn't realize Democrats are big on no democratic process. I mean, look at Kamala Harris. Look at how they got her. And they'll tell you, did the cows come home?

Well, no, people voted for her, too, with Joe Biden. I'm like, no, they didn't. But they'll twist it any way they can. And they'll be like, well, what's wrong with that? He gave it to her.

It's fine. It's OK. I'm like, does she have security clearance to even listen to what's being discussed in the cabinet meeting? What is happening?

So Donald Trump weighed in on what happened with Joe Biden and Jill Biden in a cabinet meeting. Here's Donald Trump. I got to add him. I don't know. Is he still the president?

I'm trying to figure it out. You know, I hate to waste the time by saying, and him, because I don't think, I don't know. Is he the president? Because yesterday his wife took over the cabinet meeting, right? Said, I'm going to ask my wife to take her.

He hasn't had a cabinet meeting like in two years. And yesterday they finally had it. And he said, I'm going to let Jill handle it. We will manage. A lot of things are happening there.

A lot of bad things are happening. it's just why is he still president it's a great question why why is he still president he spent how many weeks at the Delaware shore and what will they tell us and this is the other thing along the Delaware shore I'm just sorry this just popped into my brain and yes I know I probably need like Ritalin or something but it popped into my brain they can secure Joe Biden sleeping on a beach with his head back in his mouth open you know with Dr. Jill every now and then whipping out her stethoscope and checking to see if he's still breathing and got a heartbeat. And there he is lying there like a corpse on the beach, mouth open, legs akimbo. You know, that's a pretty sight.

They can secure him on the beach, but they can't secure Donald Trump for some weird reason.

So he spends weeks on the beach in Delaware and now the left will say well he still working he working all the time He wasn working at all He had a book He was reading a book He wasn working They make all the excuses in the world to keep this man on the payroll. Why? Why are they doing that? Wouldn't it be better, would it not behoove them to put Kamala Harris in the White House? And now she's the incumbent.

She's the sitting president.

So why won't they do that? I personally think it's because they're trying to distance her as far as they can from the horrendous policies of her administration, the Biden-Harris administration. They're trying to distance her from that because they keep saying we're not going back. I'm like, not going back? You literally were the vice president during the last four years.

How does that work?

So we'll find out. We'll find out.

So coming up, we're going to speak with Governor Scott Walker. And then after that, Tim Walsh explained why they're not going back. Yeah, I don't think he is. I agree with actually agree with his reasoning as to why they're not going back. I'm pretty sure they're going to be reining him in on the campaign trail as well.

So all of that is coming up on the Todd Stern Show. Hi, everyone. If you've been injured in an accident that was not your fault, listen up. We have legal professionals standing by to answer your questions for free. Call now and find out if you have a case and how much it's potentially worth.

I'm Mary Walter, sitting in the seat for him. Let's talk about the youth vote. They are voting in record numbers, Gen Z, so much more than any other generation before them at the same age. And we've got a guy who knows a lot about that. Governor Scott Walker, president of YAF, is here to join us.

You can follow them at YAF, Y-A-F, on X. Governor, thanks for joining me. Hey, my pleasure. Good to be with you. Thanks for having me on.

So you guys have been doing a great job. I really give you guys a lot of credit there. There are several organizations now that are out there that came about probably in the last 8 to 10 years. that have decided we're going to target this group of young people who are coming up, because it's a huge group. They're large in numbers.

And they're being indoctrinated. And they're coming up. And so let me just ask you first, how is YAF doing that? Like, what is some of the work you do to try to target these kids to get them away from the indoctrination and into critical thinking? Yeah, we really work at three different levels.

You mentioned YAF.org, if people are interested. We have programs and conferences anywhere from Washington, D.C. and Virginia to the other end of the country out at the Reagan Ranch, which we run in California, to places all around the country. Then we equip these kids. We only inspire them, train them, but equip them to go back to their schools, their communities, and if they're in college, their college campuses, and actually get active.

So persuading other students, being involved in activism activities, and particularly hosting lectures.

So some of the big names like Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Nose, Katie Pavlich, and others bring out thousands of students to come and see them. And then we broadcast all that.

So we go from hundreds of students at conferences to thousands of students on campus to millions by broadcasting these on social media, the biggest of which is our YouTube channel, YAF TV, which now has 1.7 million subscribers. and last year social media views surpassed 1.4 billion.

So that's really where we scale it up and reach out to those persuadable, undecided young voters out there. And it's interesting. I just look back to when I was that age, when I was in my late teens, early 20s. I didn't know a darn thing. I knew nothing.

I don't know. Maybe these kids are way more politically astute, but what did I know? I knew nothing. I grew up in a time where, and maybe we were the last generation to grow up really, really naive. But there were no protests on campus.

Everybody was just worried about school, getting a job, and where the next party was. Where can I get my next free beer? That's all we cared about. This generation, though, go ahead. Yes, it's definitely one of those where I think it's the social media in particular has taken off, so they're getting bombarded information, some of which is accurate, some of which is not.

But YouTube is still the number one way that most young people, regardless of their political beliefs, get their information. And so, you know, the good and the bad of that is when we were younger, it was newspapers and maybe three or four networks.

Now it's thousands of different outlets and places like YouTube and videos. And so that's why conservatives, why we at YAF and others have to be competitive on that playing field, because that's where young people are getting their info from. And we've got to make sure we counter it. And so they love young people overall, love fairness, and they love authenticity. And so part of why we broadcast our lectures, not just the lectures themselves, but the Q&A, where we encourage our speakers to let people who disagree with them go to the front of the line and ask questions, is because students, young people, like to see that authentic exchange.

Yeah, and I also think there's something else at hand here, and it may have nothing to do with politics. I mean, it does have something to do with politics, but I don't think it involves these young kids being more politically aware. Because I didn't read a newspaper when I was in college, unless I had to. Like for a journalism class, I wasn't reading a newspaper. I didn't even have a newspaper subscription.

I wasn't watching the news on TV. You know, we were watching MTV and we were watching this other stuff. Nobody was watching the news.

So to me, that's different. But I think part of it is because young men, the young men are breaking so much from young women. Young women are off the charts. They're all in their feels because it's an age where everything, you're very emotional and feeling everything. And they're at a stage and they've been told their whole lives that if you feel something's right, then it is, honey.

Never let the facts get in the way of your feelings. And young girls have bought it hook, line, and sinker. Unless they had a job when they were in high school, they bought it hook, line, and sinker. Young men, though, I think feel very disaffected by what they've been told their whole lives, that being it's toxic masculinity, unless you're Tim Walz, and then it's totally hot, which I find creepy at best. And, right?

I mean, he dances around like he's a backup dancer from the village people, right?

So they've been told that their masculinity is toxic. Just being a boy is a bad thing. And if you're white, you're racist. You've got everything you have in life, not through hard work, but just because you're white. The girls, we have young women who are graduating from high school at higher rates than them.

They're graduating, they're getting into college at higher rates. They're graduating from college at higher rates. And they're starting their first jobs with more money.

So I think you have an entire generation of young men who feel like no one cares about me. And they've been left totally behind. And so it's a long way of me asking you, do you see that in this cohort of young voters? Oh, the data overwhelmingly shows. That's why it's such a huge split where you see, for example, nationwide in the presidential election, it is a very, very narrow gap.

Even though young people overall tend to vote Democrat, you've got Donald Trump with a slight lead amongst younger male voters and getting blown out by younger female voters. It very much fits the trends you just talked about. And I think the reaction we've seen in the presidential elections is exactly what we see day in and day out on college campuses, even particularly in high school. It's a little bit of what we saw with the frat boys defending the flag at UNC, I think, and bodies exactly. They're tired of being attacked.

They know. These young men know that they work hard. They follow the rules. They study. They do all the things they're supposed to do.

And they still get blamed for everything, even though they're not doing it. And they said, nothing's enough. We're tired of being the scapegoat for all these other things that people can't get right. It's not their fault. It's not their problem.

And that's where I think there's just a natural reaction and there's an opening, particularly when we then start invading things like YouTube and start sharing messages. I think a guy like Ben Shapiro, for example, is just really powerful because he points out, you know, the facts don't care about your feelings. In the end, just because you feel something doesn't make it right if the facts are on your side. And that's a challenge we've got to make not only for young men, but for young women as well. Yeah, the women, I think they're lost until they start to.

There's going to be a big problem in this generation because I see all these videos from these young women. And they're sitting in their cars. And they've got their nails done. And eyelash extensions. They've got their career.

And they're gone. and they can't find a man's man to date. And I'm like, well, of course you can't find a man's man to date because no man who's a man's man, who's an alpha male, is putting up with your crap. That's not happening, right? Because you're looking at two diametrically opposed things.

Yeah, they've been told it's the opposite. Young men have been told they're the problem. Young women have been told that they've been oppressed, even though all throughout their time in high school there were programs to give them a step up. There were all sorts of assistants. There were other things because they've been told.

You see this with certain minority classes as well, where they've been told their whole life that no matter how hard you work, it's never going to be enough because you're being discriminated against, even if you're not being discriminated against. and so they just feel this incredible burden instead of saying you know what america's a great place there's great opportunities if you work hard you can live the american dream but it's going to take a little bit of sacrifice and you can do it just like people before you've done it they feel so much better about themselves but unfortunately now you've got all these folks in life just telling them it's not your fault somebody else has screwed up your life instead of saying no take charge take control of your life we're the ones that want you to be able to control your life not the government. Exactly.

So I think part of what plays into this, and maybe you can tell I think this cuts across, it's not just white young men, but I think there's also the black youth, black young men, Hispanic young men. I don't know about the Asian American young men, because they tend to do really well, because they just keep their heads down, and they wind up owning everything.

So good for them. But so do you see the same trend? Is it just with white young men? Or does across the racial lines, and it's really more of a generational issue as opposed to a racial issue? I think it's generational.

At least the data seems to show that there's a great sense, and more so one group or the other, although I think consistently across the spectrum, male, female, generationally. But I also think you see, for example, increasingly strong numbers of conservative ideals with Hispanics, male or female, but particularly so with young Hispanic men who, you know, realize, hey, I want to be an entrepreneur. I don't need anything special. Just give me a shot. I can work hard.

I want to live the American dream. I don't want the government dictating winners and losers. I want to be given that opportunity. I'm going to go out and earn it. And I think there's a powerful, powerful message there.

And it's very much kind of like the, you know, the shift that you saw. We once called it Reagan Democrats in the 80s. I think there's been a shift with Trump, you know, seven, eight, nine years ago. I think you're seeing that again, particularly within the Hispanic community, starting with the young Hispanic men, but I think with a lot of young women who want to be entrepreneurs as well. Yeah, there is that drive in some people.

What I fear, though, but I can see it working in the young men's favor and the more conservative favor is a pendulum swings back, of course, right? If you want to be a rebel, be a conservative, right? If you want to be a rebel, be a Republican. But I see young people who are conservative, who are more Trump leaning or maybe middle.

Now, middle of the road, I never considered myself a conservative, but suddenly I am. I don't know how that happened. I see them being more willing to speak up. And I think that that's super important because, like you mentioned, those frat boys who stood up for the American flag. They weren't just white.

There were black kids there. It was from several fraternities. they weren't afraid to do the right thing. What is giving them, I guess, what is making it okay now for them to speak up? Is there a change happening, I guess, is the question.

There is. There's no doubt about it. The data overwhelmingly shows us as well that the reason why the left doesn't want conservative voices on campus, the reason why they tried to suppress this in big tech and social media, is because once you just have a few voices out there, Once people can hear a few of these voices, it's overwhelming the shift that it's usually one or two voices in the darkness suddenly expose what most, not most, but at least a solid number of young people thought was probably the truth, but were afraid to speak it because they thought they were the only ones. Right. Now when you start seeing these voices pop up, it makes a difference.

The other long-term factor, I think, with all of this, or at least mid-range factor, is I don't think you can underestimate the impact of COVID, particularly on a blue-collar versus a white-collar world. I think during COVID you saw a shift where there were a lot of blue-collar families and the kids who were grown up missed out on high school graduation.

Some of those same kids missed out on college graduation for different reasons. but for those who were in school be it middle school or high school they saw hard their parents worked they saw their parents had to go to work they saw the burden it was when the schools and other things were shut down versus white color households where they were just happy to be at home and they didn't have to commute and they kind of deferred more to the government the blue collar families became much more suspect of the government and that reflects in some of the trends that you see as well It's very interesting, I find this whole thing very interesting and I get hope from it, which I'll ask you one last question. Should I be hopeful or should I just keep my expectations low so this way I'm not going to be horribly, horribly depressed on the day after the election? Coming from Wisconsin right now, I think it's incredibly close, but I think it's hopeful. The issue sets on our side, not only with young people, but with voters overall.

We just need to make sure we keep talking about how prices were so much lower before Kamala Harris and Joe Biden were in office, and they can be lower. Once again, the border was much more secure before they were in office. They can be much more secure again, and public safety was much less, particularly violent crime, was much less of a concern before they were in office, and it can be again. If we hone in on those key issues, both in this election and I think for generations to come, We can prevail. We just can't take the bait and talk about the sorts of things that many in the main street or corrupt corporate media want to talk about.

Don't take the bait. Talk about the things that matter. Absolutely. And one last thing, and feel free to do it. Whenever I come across a liberal, young kid, especially a young boy who's a liberal young man, I always remind him to register for the draft.

And they just look at me, I'm like, you register for the draft, right? and they just look at me. I wish I had more time with you, Governor Scott Walker. Thank you so much. Keep doing what you guys are doing because I think it's so important what you are doing.

And if nothing else, getting kids to think is a good thing because they've been so programmed not to think, just to feel.

So getting them to think is such a step in the right direction. Thank you so much. Have a great week. You too. Thank you.

Mary Walter in for Todd Starnes here from the Liberty University Studios. and welcome once again to WLYJ Mississippi and WLYG.

You see that there? LYJ, LYG, just dawned on me. Thanks for joining us.

So I told you I had some audio to share with you. This is from Fox. They were speaking with Martha McCallum. And the first cut I'm going to play, this is Jameel Jackson. He's 22 years old.

He's a registered Democrat from Pennsylvania. and he was talking about watching Donald Trump on a podcast with Theo Vaughn and this is where Trump is smart. He goes on these podcasts, Kamala Harris, they're keeping her in the closet just like they did with Joe Biden because she can't talk. She cannot. It's a disaster.

She doesn't make any sense and no one seems to care.

So Trump was on with Theo Vaughn as this really super popular podcaster, Gen Z podcaster and he talked about being able to relate to a story that Trump was telling. Here we go. There's an ongoing culture shock that's happening, specifically with men my age. Specifically, I grew up without a father. He was killed because of gang violence at a very young age, maybe when I was around three or four years old.

And then I saw Trump's recent interview with Theo Vaughn, where he's talking about someone in his family who died of an overdose and why he doesn't do drugs, and some of the challenges that presented it to him and the choices he made afterwards, and even his family.

So seeing such a prominent male figure in politics, maybe I don't even know Trump personally, it does show a sign of relatability. And it shows a sign that, you know, a lot of men, specifically in today's culture, we may be pushed aside when we do talk about the things that we may struggle with or the challenges we have, and that we should just support women and we should amplify women. And I think there is space, again, to have these conversations.

So I think that's why you see so many men my age who are focusing and going to vote for Trump.

So he related to a story that was told that kind of went into what he has experienced in his life. You know, they have made Donald Trump such a cartoon character, if you will. They do, and I hate to make this comparison, but what the Nazis did to the Jews. They made them animals. They were pigs.

Remember, they were pigs. They were subhuman. They do the same thing to MAGA. They were a threat. They were a literal threat to your existence.

They're doing the same thing here. We're going to continue this on the other side. You don't want to miss it. I'm Mary Walter, and you're listening to The Todd Storm Show. Live from the Liberty University studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.

That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starnes. Oh, yeah. I'm Mary Walter in for Todd Starnes sitting in the Liberty University studios.

This show's gone so fast. Oh my goodness. Coming up in half an hour, Mary Rook. She is a commentary and analysis writer for The Daily Caller. She's going to talk to us about problems with the Harris campaign.

I got some issues with the Harris campaign. I don't so well with some things, but we'll never know. I don't know what's going to really happen here.

so we were just before we went to the the news we um we're talking about gen z men and we're talking to governor scott walker before that uh who because he works with yaf he's the president of yaf the young americans foundation and they're doing a lot with the youth vote and there's such a divide between young women and young men yeah gen z gen z women they're crazy crazy over the top liberal, like far, far to the left. And Gen Z men tend to go the other way.

Now, they're not in as great of numbers as the women, but it's still out there. And I think probably a lot of them are afraid to even say anything, the young men.

So they just kind of like, keep it on the down low, and then they'll just vote for Trump. And I played a cut from a young man named Jamil Jackson. He's a 22-year-old registered Democrat from Pennsylvania. He was talking to Martha McCallum. And he was saying, you know, there's a culture shock going on in his generation.

And he's a registered Democrat, but he watched Trump bomb with Theo Vaughn on a podcast. And he was moved by the story of someone he knew who overdosed Trump. And he could, that's why he doesn't do drugs. And, you know, Trump doesn't drink because he had a brother who was an alcoholic. And so Trump saw that and said, I'm not going to do that.

And he does not drink.

So he said, you know, it spoke to him because his dad was killed when he was very little in a gang thing, gang warfare. And so that really stuck with him. He felt that he could relate to Donald Trump. And I want to go on. This is the same man.

This is Jamil Jackson here. And Martha McCallum asked him if he could relate to a story in the New York Times that young men in his generation feel left behind. When President Biden was first in office, there was a honeymoon period until he tried to pull out of Afghanistan. And that's when he crushed one of my biggest dreams, which is was serving in the military right after I graduated college.

So then I look at a lot of the friends that I have who are male around my age. They want to have homes. They want to start families. They want to make a lot of money. We all have these individual dreams.

And then we start to see that it's becoming less and less possible. I have guy friends who were with finance degrees who are now baristas because they can't find a job.

So I think in the in the Biden administration, a lot of our dreams are being crushed or hindered. But when we see Trump, we saw everything that happened in 2019 when Kamala Harris even said that prices are cheaper. Buying a home was cheaper. You know, maintaining family order and safety was a lot manageable.

So I think that's what we what men my age are relating to. notice he said we want to own homes we want to start families very traditional values which you also see across the board this is a young black man you see it is in the hispanics there are more traditional values held in those groups and it's interesting because i had said to governor scott walker that i see these videos all the time of these young women they post them on tiktok i'm not on TikTok, but they make their way over to X. And by the way, follow me on X at Mary Walter Radio. They want these young women who are super educated because they've been coddled, not coddled, but they've been told all the time that to raise women up, they really pushed men down. And so these women are graduating college in much higher numbers than the men are.

And they want, yet at the core of it all, They have more traditional values. And they have a problem because the guys that they're meeting don't hold the liberal mindset of all of their touchstones. Abortion, maybe I don't want to have a baby, all this stuff that these young women have. And I want to work, which is fine. That's okay.

But you've got to understand that when you have your list of absolutes, you may not find someone who checks off every box on your list of absolute must-haves. And you're hearing these guys talk about traditional values. I want to own a home. I want to start a family. And then these young women want a guy who will do that.

So they're much more likely to be conservative, but they don't want a conservative guy. Most young women will not even date a guy who's conservative. They won't even talk to them. They don't want to know anything about them.

So then you are restricting your dating pool to the soy boys who have better hair than you and probably have better makeup on than you. And so that's what you're restricting your dating pool to. Or the guy who lives in his mommy's basement and all he does is fly and bust himself around the country courtesy of some organization, Antifa, ActBlue, whatever it happens to be, BLM, whatever, and protest. That guy's not settling down. He's bringing nothing to the table.

So these young women are finding themselves in a drought. They can't find anybody. But they kind of put themselves there.

So I want to go to this last cut. This is a 20-year-old young man. He's a registered independent from Nevada. His name is Ranger Irwin. And he says it comes down to the economy.

And listen to what he talks about here as well. Honestly, I just want to see them, you know, really focus more on America and make sure that America is, you know, like the America that everyone talks about. Talk about how like, oh, you know, like the American dream and how like, you know, everything's affordable. Like, you know, like like how men normally would like have a job and the wife would stay home with the kids, which I mean, if my wife wants to go get a job, my wife wants to get a job. I'm not against that.

I'm just saying like, you know, used to it was possible for under one income for you to be able to support a wife and kids and actually have a family in a house. But now in the current economy that we have under Biden, it's it's not not possible at all.

So we talked about the American dream, but he didn't talk about it in the way that these young women are talking about.

Now the American dream is dead. The American dream was never alive. He says, no, I believe in that. And I want to bring that back. and he was almost apologetic sounding.

Did you notice that? He was almost a little apologetic when he was talking about, you know, be able to support a wife and children. But if my wife wants to go out and work, she can work, that's okay. You know, he sounded apologetic about it, which you need to do that in a marriage. You got to compromise.

You know, she wants to go out and work, great. You may not be able to have just one person working Listen my husband and I when we were younger we both had school dad I paying off my dad At one point we had five jobs between the two of us Five jobs. Obviously, not all full-time gigs. A lot of it was done at home. I worked for a lawyer, and I would read cases, and I had to look for certain words, and I had to highlight them, and I had to mark the pages for certain words.

I wasn't a lawyer by any stretch of the imagination, but it was cheaper to pay me than it was to pay a clerk.

So he paid me and I get these huge cases. I'm like, oh, I have to go through these things to find different things that he was looking for.

So I did that, but I got to do it from home. It was great. But we still both work. That was our choice. And could we have made it with just my husband working?

Yeah, we could. We'd have a much different, we wouldn't have the home we have. We would be living a much different lifestyle. We live below our means so that we can put as much money away as humanly possible. But we would be in a much different place.

So you got to look at all those things. But I just thought it was super interesting. And if you want to jump in, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you just heard. 901-260-5926. 901-260-9526.

It kind of gives me hope. And I'm kind of hoping that these young men are, as they become more comfortable speaking out, are also comfortable with, you know, I don't know, like I said, speaking out, but speaking to their friends and realizing that it's okay to not walk with the pack. It's okay. And I kind of think that that pack of more conservative voters is growing on the left with our young men. I could be wrong.

All right. Coming up in about 20 minutes here, Mary Rook will be joining us. She's a commentary and analysis writer for The Daily Caller. We're going to talk about problems with the Harris campaign. I do want to play a cut for you coming up because Harris does have problems.

and we'll talk about this later with Mary, but this is a young man, and we'll play it coming up. It's a young man trolling Kamala Harris, and it's absolutely hilarious. And there's so much more I didn't get to. I want to talk about immigration.

On my first day in office, we are going to dedicate all our funds to figuring out how to get the spaghetti sauce out of Tupperware. And that is going to reduce American expenses on Tupperware.

And that's going to put the money back into what we are calling an opportunity economy. Because we are not going back. We are not. And this former president would like you all to spend money on glass pyrex. I remember growing up with my mother.

There was a small business, and they served everything in these little takeout containers. And we would go home, okay, as you do. And we would use them. We would reuse them, okay? That's the America I grew up in.

I was not given a million-dollar baby formula in a golden chalice that was heated by holding it between the thighs of a manservant.

Okay? And I did not have a bankruptcy six times. Thank you. That was fantastic. This is some guy.

They posted a video. You can tell he's from the Northeast because, what did he say? One of the words he said clearly was a Northeastern, like New York accent. And that's blue area. And he has to be.

He was probably in his 30s. That's the demographic you think is voting for Kamala Harris. I just thought that that was just, it was great. It was fantastic. All right, let's get to the phones.

901-260-5926. Let's first go to Patty. Oh, two callers from North Carolina. Patty from North Carolina, listening on WSIC. Patty, welcome to the Todd Starnes Show.

How are you? Hey, there's my Jersey girl, Jersey City girl here. That's right. Mary, hey, listen, what the hell is going on in this country? Oh, my God.

And you're right.

Well, let me tell you, you're in North Carolina. There's a lot of people who move from New Jersey. They go from New York to New Jersey to North Carolina. And what do they do? They vote blue.

Yeah, well, I'm not. This is one red girl right here. Let me tell you something. I ride around. I got Trump signs in my car.

I talk to Tom Fitton a lot. I belong to, you don't even know. I'm surprised I'm not in jail right now. I should be in jail now.

So let me ask you, when you have conversations, I'm sure that you have neighbors who are from the north, and they've moved down to... No, no, no. Everybody's West Virginia here, and the street that I live on there, West Virginia, everybody's West Virginia. I am the only one from Jersey.

So why did they leave West Virginia? Because West Virginia is a great state to retire in. There's no tax on your retirement. It's a great state to retire in.

Well, they came down here. I mean, some of my neighbors here, I live with my daughter. And I'm telling you, you can tell I'm from Jersey. I heard it. I heard it right there.

My daughter. But anyway, let me tell you something. You were talking about how Gen Z guys are on that. Because my grandson, my son-in-law was going to pay $68,000 to send my grandson Jaden to Rutgers. You know what?

My grandson is going to trade school. He's the grandma. He's the grandma. the country's going downhill somebody's gonna need electric somebody's gonna need a mechanic somebody's gonna need a carpenter is my grandson not smart i think that's a wonderful thing and you don't want to send him to rutgers anyway because rutgers is just a liberal indoctrination machine so you don't want to see him going to rutgers but i think that that's really a smart thing just make sure he takes a couple of business classes so he knows how to run his business i I cannot tell you the number of contractors that have worked in my home, which, by the way, is like is almost 150 years old, who just forget to bill me. They just don't bill me.

Now, it is not my job to remind you. But if you do come up with a bill, I will pay it. But I do have a moratorium on how, you know, how late that bill can be before I'm just not paying it anymore.

So have him take some business classes. He's going to be great. He's a smart young man. And we don't have a lot of time here. We only have a couple of about a minute or so here.

But what's he studying? Very quickly. I was in Wilmington on Saturday. I went to Wilmington. I went to the Trouble Alley.

And I'm telling you, the best thing there was his grandkids. That guy loves his family. Yeah. So very quickly, what is your grandson majoring in? What's he studying?

He's going to go. He's going to do electric. My son-in-law is an electrician. He's going to do electric. He's going to learn a bunch of stuff.

Because down the road, people are going to need that. Right. No, you're right. Listen, I think it's a brilliant move. Thank you for sharing it.

We got to run, but thank you so much. It's always good to talk to another Jersey girl and I can get to bring the accent when I want to. Patty, thank you so much. I do appreciate that. And you know what?

Liz, if you can hang on, that would be great. She wants to talk about why Biden hasn't resigned. I will get to you. And Tom, also, I will get to you as soon as I can. We're running out of time on the show and there's so many things I wanted to talk about already.

Oh my gosh. all right coming up Mary Rook will be joining us she's a commentary and analysis writer for the Daily Caller we're going to talk about the problems with the Harris campaign especially with polling and some of the things going on there and I just saw this this made me sad this goes to show you how old I am the last full-size Kmart store in the U.S. is closing in October it leaves only one downsized, a smaller Kmart location around. Yep, the last full-size store is in Bridgehampton, New York, and it's closing down. There's a smaller store in Miami that will be the last Kmart in the entire country.

That's how old I am. I'm going to miss Kmart. Our Kmart closed years ago, so I was done. All right, don't forget, Mary Rowe coming up next on the Todd Starnes Show and then your calls. And welcome back to the Todd Starnes Show.

I am Mary Welter sitting in the Liberty University studios. Let's go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and join Mary Rook, commentary and analysis writer for The Daily Caller. You can find her on X at MaryRook, R-O-O-K-E underscore. You can find her on X. Mary, welcome back to the show.

How are you? Hi, thank you so much for having me. Absolutely. So Kamala Harris, you've written some pieces about this, about Harris and her debate performance. And we're finding out now she really got a bump from the debate.

My question is she didn't get a bump from the debate. She doesn't do any pressers. She doesn't do any interviews. And the interviews she does are with like Oprah. Or she does it with someone who gives a multiple choice answers.

There's nothing coming out. How is she leading Trump nationally in the polls? I don't understand it. No, I think that we are seeing right now in 2024 the same thing that we saw in 2016, where the polls are not able to accurately grab the Trump vote. I mean, we saw that in places like Wisconsin.

I think there was like nine days out from the election. They claimed that Trump was going to lose that state to Hillary Clinton by 17 points, and he ended up winning Wisconsin. I mean, I think that that's exactly what we're seeing this. You know, it's funny that you mentioned the fact that she went on Oprah's show as if to say, look at me, I'm great with blue-collar workers. You can trust me with your pensions and your paychecks.

Don't worry about it. By the way, I'm going to go talk to this billionaire who will never be affected by any of my policies, and it'll try and attempt to show that, you know, I understand you and I'm on your level. It was just a hilarious misstep by her campaign, which obviously helped President Trump. And I think that Trump put it best when he said that a winner of a fight never goes back and asks for a rematch. It's always the loser of the fight that says, I'm ready to do this again.

Let's get back in the ring. And as you've seen, Harris's campaign has attempted in every single way, you know, allude to Trump's vanity, whatever on CNN has tried to goad him into accepting a second debate. But, you know, I don't think that Trump is going to take that bait. I think he's going to sit back and allow her to kind of drown herself in these terrible media appearances that she does go on. Yeah, I hope so.

And I just feel and this is a terrible thing. But to your point, 2016, I think we're getting a combination of 2016 and 2020, because in 2020, we kept being told, oh, it's so close. It's so close. It's so close. and to me they're doing that so that when you know ballots arrive in the middle of the night again and we see that straight line up at three o'clock in the morning in the graph that goes literally straight up for Kamala Harris and then kind of comes over and comes down well we won't question it well you know it was close so now you know we'll kind of be more willing to swallow it when that happens again and maybe I'm just being you know a little a little um on the conspiracy side here, conspiratorial, if you will.

But I think there's a little bit of conditioning happening. Yeah, you know, I think that there's millions of American voters who feel exactly the same way you do. There's obviously a little bit of playing the system and putting your thumb on the scale that we have to worry about. It's been in every election, not just in 2020, but going back decades and decades in our country. And so I think that there's always going to be an effort by the Democratic Party to do that.

However, you know, there's some really good signs of life in places like Georgia, where she desperately needs a win. If she doesn't end up picking up Pennsylvania, she's going to need one of the states, Georgia, North Carolina. And the election board just ruled the other day that all the ballots that are counted have to match, they're going to do a hand count and those kind of ballots have to match what's on the machine count. And so, and if it's not, then it gets escalated up and the, you know, winner will not be decided until there's a resolution of that. I think that those, you know, those types of things are really good.

The other, the other option is that Americans have to go and overwhelm the polls exactly like they did in 2016. I mean, when you look in Michigan alone, Trump lost Michigan by about 154,000 votes. I just finished writing a piece today that should be up on the site soon that breaks this down a little bit more. But essentially the overlining lead here is that the Trump campaign has found between 200 and 500,000 low propensity voters. And so for the listeners, low propensity voters, someone who, you know, doesn't go out and vote in every election.

They're not going to always go out and vote every time a candidate comes up or they're not going to sit there and go, whatever the Republican Party is or whatever the Democratic Party is, I'm going to go and vote for that candidate. They're the ones that just they have to be motivated to get out. And so we're talking about, you know, election swing numbers there that they have identified. And they have a real ground game in places like Michigan where they're going out and they're reaching these voters. You know, I think that that's a big sign that the Trump campaign understands the mountain that he has to climb in order to take these states away from Harris's grasp.

And, you know, she loses a state like Michigan. She's really, really, you know, rested her laurels on these great lake states, which are Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. She's not looking great in Pennsylvania. Trump has a small lead over her there. and she is really close within the margin of error with a lead over Trump in Michigan.

And so if he's able to regain these low propensity voters who have been hurt by her economic policies and hurt by, you know, just the social policies that she promotes through the far left wing of her party, I think that we'll see a shift here. And so if we can get those people to say, I'm not going to sit this out, politics directly affects my life, I have to go out and vote no matter where you are, but especially in these swing states. I think that Trump has a chance. Let's talk about Michigan. Trump just got a big endorsement yesterday afternoon from Amir Ghalib, who is the Muslim Democrat mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, which is famous for how they were overwhelmed with Muslim immigrants.

And now the whole city is controlled by Muslim politicians and they're Democrat. and he said that he had almost an hour-long conversation with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump also had said that he's going to be with the leaders of the Arab American community who are upset with Harris and Joe Biden's administration failures.

Now, this Ghalib guy, as I said, is a Democrat. He's a Yemeni immigrant. He represents one of the biggest Muslim communities in Wayne County, Michigan. is reportedly 60% Muslim. And they had, he led the uncommitted rebellion to vote uncommitted.

That's what the Muslims did because they're upset about the whole Israel thing that's going on, the war in Israel.

So he led that, and then that went into abandon Biden, and now it's abandon Harris. How huge, how big of a game changer, if any, is this endorsement? Oh, I think it's massive. I mean, first we're talking about a registered Democrat. And so that alone, a registered Democrat that's in office that clearly has the support of his people.

If you look at the comment section underneath that Facebook post that went viral yesterday, you know, a lot of the names that are, you know, Muslim sounding names are all going, you know, great job here. Absolutely. This is our candidate. You know, thanks so much for your bravery. Let's go out and support him.

And one of his last sentences on his endorsement, he said, you know, something to the effect of now let's let the caravan ride, which is essentially, you know, let's get out there and vote for Trump. This is who we're going to back. And I think that the Harris campaign has to be worried about something like this, because this is another thing that is going to go in Trump's favor when we talk about the Michigan vote. And she has to win again, Michigan. If she loses Michigan and Pennsylvania, there are hardly enough states for her to pick up that will get her to 270.

And speaking of Pennsylvania, according to Cliff Maloney, who runs the Pennsylvania Chase, which is a conservative Republican organization designed to get Republican mail-in ballots. And so they chase down these voters who are low propensity voters. We were talking about those. and he gets them to either request a ballot and make sure that they turn them in.

So he's trying to get these people to vote and he's talking about the difference between what Harris has now, what's projected to have versus what Biden had and the difference in how many votes Trump lost to Biden. And he claims that Democrats are hemorrhaging in Pennsylvania. You add on top of this, all the work that Scott Pressler is doing in Pennsylvania and he doesn't get a lot of credit for it. I think that and the fracking issue, right? You put that in there and the farms and the Amish.

I don't think things look good in Pennsylvania for her. No, I don't think they do either. I think the Trump campaign should be very happy with where they are. And obviously, you can't let off the gas. You've got to keep on blowing and going as fast as you possibly can to the state and try and get as many, many supporters as you possibly can.

And to add on to that, I don't know if you saw that Senator John Fetterman came out over the weekend. And I believe he was talking to CNN and he essentially told them that the state flower of Pennsylvania has become Trump signs and that the Democratic Party doesn't understand just how much support Trump has. And he said, you know, you can't really pull by. But whenever you see this many Trump signs and, you know, his assassination, the first one on July 13th happened in Butler, Pennsylvania. And yet after that, you have these people that have felt left out of the democratic process.

I mean, their elected officials are ruining their way of life. They're ruining their jobs. They're ruining, you know, them being able to the grocery store for, you know, feeding their families and all of these things. And then you have a guy up there who says, I'm going to fight, fight, fight for you. And they try and kill him over it.

And that really speaks to a lot of people. And I think that it was, you know, it was meant to be a warning sign for the Democratic Party, but it couldn't have been a bigger endorsement for Trump in Pennsylvania to have John Fetterman go out there and say that the new state flower has become Trump. Yeah, and I always say, and we're running out of time here, but I always say, if you want to know what's really happening in this country, you talk to the truckers. They go all over this country, right? And in 2016, when I did not think that I was I was very, very skeptical of Trump's chances in 2016.

And listen, I'm a glass half empty kind of girl. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than be crushed. OK, so I keep my expectations low. That's just me. They told me over and over again on the air, you're wrong.

For every hundred Trump signs I see, I see one Hillary sign. You're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrong. so I don't know if that's going to be the same this time around but I always try to talk to my trucker friends to find out what they think and I think they've got a good pulse on where things are going in this country.

Mary Rook, thank you for the great conversation. I truly appreciate it. Check her out at the Daily Caller. Follow her on X at MaryRook underscore. Thank you so much.

Have a great week. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. 901-260-5926 is my number. I've got calls awaiting.

I promise I will get to you also. Oh my gosh, I have news to share with you. And I also have Tim Waltz just did something that's hilarious. It's a very short cut.

So we'll play it coming up and get to your calls as well because we're running out of time here on the Todd Stern Show. Hey, welcome back to the Todd Starnes show. There's so much I want to share with you very quickly. Tom, hang on. You're next.

Can we just go to cut three here really quickly? You've got to hear Tim Walsh with Rallygoers in Pennsylvania on Saturday. Listen to what he told them. She simply has said it doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't have to be this way.

We can't afford. We can't afford four more years of this. and I've been saying it. We can't afford four more years of this. This is what I'm talking about.

They say all the time, we're going to see his wife, we're going to turn the page. They want to, we're never going back. Kamala Harris is the vice president right now. This is her administration. She's a heartbeat away from the president and for all we know, he already doesn't have a heartbeat and there's wandering him around like Weekend at Bernie's.

Who knows?

So this is hers and we don't want to go back to four more years of this, even they don't believe it. Even they don't buy this. I thought that was absolutely phenomenal. Best audio we've had in a long time.

Okay, let's go to Tom from Georgia Listening on WDUN. Tom, thanks for hanging on. You're the best. Thank you for joining me on the Todd Stern Show. Hi.

Hey, thanks, Mary. You're doing a great job, as always. Thank you. Thank you. You just made me think of something else real quick before I try to get to the Israeli pager thing.

Okay, turn the page. She never says what's on the backside of the page.

Okay, here's when they turn the page, I'm going to scream, so I'm going to take the phone away from my mouth. We're going to see what's on the backside of the page, like right after trick-or-treat, and it's going to be... That's what we're going to see when we turn the page.

Okay, anyway, did the Israelis play the Biden administration by giving them that three-day heads-up on the attack. What I mean by that is that ensured that the insiders, the pro-Hamas, pro-Iran elements inside the Biden administration, inside the State Department, made sure to give that information to those bad guys, ensuring that all those bad guys would be at the ready for any rapid communications by having those pagers on them. when they needed to be on them to take them out. I think that's very possible. You know, the interesting thing about the pagers, and I love my cousin, and he's voting for Trump, but he said, you know, he's kind of with the whole Israel thing.

He's like, well, if they could do that, why did they have to bomb? What did they say? 40,000 people died. And I'm like, those numbers come from Hamas, so I don't buy it, number one. But the pager thing was only a limited thing, and it's a limited opportunity.

And that has to be set up over time. I don't know if we'll ever know the true story, but what I heard of the story is that they actually set up a front of a pager company. Like, it was a shell company. It was owned by the Israelis. And so they got these pagers, and they were selling them to Hamas.

And before Hamas got them, they did a little, you know, little funny stuff with the pagers and then gave it to them. which is brilliant, but you just can't do that overnight. And listen, when someone comes into your country like that, breaks into your country and tortures and kills women and children and babies and men and takes them hostage, I have no problem with you going back and handing it right back at them twice as hard. I'm sorry. I believe Israel has the right to respond as they see fit, and we have no right to sit on the Monday morning quarterback on the sidelines.

That's just me. Let alone give them a heads up, which I think is the element that I'm talking about. That three-day heads up helped ensure the pagers were in the hands of the bad guys who needed to be taken out because the pro-Iran elements in the White House, in the State Department, made sure they knew that that attack was going to happen. Yeah, it's a very interesting theory. Very, very interesting.

Thank you so much for sharing it. We've got to go, Tom. Thank you for joining us. there is so much I wanted to tell you about. You know what?

You're just going to have to watch my podcast tomorrow night, 7.15 p.m. Eastern Time, live on YouTube and get her look for Mary Walter Radio because I wanted to talk about a whistleblower regarding the debate on ABC and whether Kamala Harris got the questions in advance. And we're going to talk about some regulations that are coming your way if she wins the election. Yeah, you think it's great now. Wait till you see what's coming your way with appliances and all that kind of stuff.

Also, what's happening in our public schools, they're trying to get kids to come back to school because no one's coming back to school after the pandemic.

So now that we're bribing kids to come back to school, I'm getting old because I just throw my hands in the air and go, I'm sorry, what? You don't go to school and you're a dummy, big dummy. You're not getting a job, but they don't need a job anymore because they just live in the government dole.

So no job, no big deal for them.

So thank you to Todd so much for letting me sit in the seat for you. He is enjoying the Spiritual Leadership Conference in California, but he will return. Thank you to Grace. Thank you to Dylan. And thank you to you.

I'll see you on Newsmax in about an hour.
