The Federalist: Barr Confirms Raskin Lied About Biden Bribery Probe
"A politically driven Department of Justice. I don't know how much more evidence we need. It is swirling Helen Keller can see it. We have an official report now that points it out, but we didn't even need the official report, the Durham report. It's corrupt as hell and that should be the focus of our resentment and our attempt, not the victim. Bill Barr confirms Representative Jamie Raskin lied about Biden family corruption investigation. Jamie Raskin is the Adam of this matter. Jamie Raskin was on both. I repeat both impeachment panels. Jamie Raskin was on the January 6 committee. Jamie Raskin is on the Judiciary Committee. He is a former federal constitutional professor. He's also a coward. He's a coward. Christie's a coward. None of them will come on this program.

William Barr told the Federalists yesterday in response to Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin's claim that the former Attorney General's hand -picked prosecutor had ended an investigation into a confidential human sources allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. On the contrary, Barr stressed, it was sent to Delaware for further investigation. Now think about that. Jamie Raskin's caught in a flat out lie. he's And a main source on and off the record for the corrupt media, the Washington Compost in specific. Quote, think

Yeah, if the city's job market is generally bouncing back post -COVID, it's decidedly not for the retail sector and its jobs. Jonathan Bowles with the Center for an Urban Future says the Big Apples lost nearly 38 ,000 retail jobs since February 2020. That's an 11 % decline. He argues the growth of online shopping and automation are major factors. You know, a growing number of retailers like CVS and Duane Reade and Target and Uniqlo are doing automated checkout.

E. Jean Carroll adds Trump's post-verdict remarks to defamation case, seeks at least $10M
"Columnist E Jean Carol is seeking additional defamation damages from former president Donald Trump. I Norman hall. E Jean Carroll won a $5 million sexual abuse in defamation award against former president Donald Trump, now she's seeking at least $10 million more in a new court filing that seeks to hold him liable for remarks he made after the verdict, and amended lawsuits seeking the $10 million in compensatory damages plus more in punitive damages was filed in Manhattan by lawyers for Carol. They say remarks by Trump in response to her rape allegation so spoiled her reputation that she lost her longtime job as an L magazine advice columnist. They said in the rewritten lawsuit that Trump doubled down on derogatory remarks about Carol at a cable television appearance a day after the verdict. I Norman hall

Fresh update on "$5 million" discussed on The Charlie Kirk Show
"Today. You know, one of the things that I'm looking into right here is this, um, you know, there's a, I believe it's an assistant U S attorney in the Southern district of Miami. So one of the things that's confusing people is just the fact that this is even happening in Miami at all. So I'd love to get your, your perspective on that. It seems like they're doing that as an opportunity to accelerate the timeline here, so they didn't have to fight over a venue, uh, you know, uh, debate if it should have been held in, in Florida in the first place. But then there's this character that's emerging that I think is really interesting this, um, that, uh, it's Karen Gilbert who was basically fat. You know, she was caught red handed, uh, wiretapping the defense attorney, which is highly illegal, highly unethical. How this person is somehow now involved in, uh, targeting the former president of the United States and not in, in prison herself is just incredible. It seems like there's this whole cast of characters as dirty cops being a raid against the president. Do you know about this? Yes, yes, I do. Um, I have heard that, that this prosecutor came out, I think cash Patel, uh, knows about this prosecutor and spoke about it this morning. I know he has a truth post out right now discussing it. Um, I don't know her personally. I have her exactly what you said. Um, that's great journalism. Um, it is troubling. It is concerning, but again, it's no different than DA Bragg who is Soros fact anti -Trump or bringing claims. It is no different than Letitia James, who is a Trump hating attorney general in the state of New York. It is no different than all of these people that we see time and time again. Right. So, okay, we have a prosecutor that hates Trump and also has corruption behind her. What's the difference between that and the Biden family right now? And not to mention the timing on this is so obvious. You know, we had the $5 million, uh, uh, bribery scheme come out. Right. And then they immediately say, Oh, bring in the Trump indictment number two. You know, we're going to look back at this. I think guys, we're going to say this was Russia hoax number one, Russia hoax at the Mueller report, indictment one, indictment two, and that, you know, we're going to be saying this over and over again, what they don't understand is the American people are, have caught on, they've caught on and, um, and the corruption is deep, but here's the good news. He has good people representing him. He's, he's a strong guy and he didn't do anything wrong. So we'll fight it in court and indictment. You really don't get a chance to put your case on at all. You know, they bring in who they want, they present what they want and they select who will come in to a grand jury, but, you know, in a court of law, yeah, it'll be better. And in Florida, yes, I think you're right on the venue thing. I think they did it in Florida so that they wouldn't have to fight about venue because he is a resident in Florida and that is probably where, um, the appropriate venue, but I'll let his attorneys handling this decide that. And Joe Biden has been informed about this. This is a cover operation. We're just getting started on this yet. Like you said, there's a $5 million payment. I mean, we've known about this corruption and bribery for quite some time. The Biden family is in some serious trouble because we're not going to let, let off. And by the way, this is only now going to make the case easier to make against Joe Biden because there's going to be a, but what about the current president? Kind of talking point, special prosecutor. Yes. I mean, the whole, the whole thing is so grotesque. I mean, you've turned over a rock and Joe Biden took a con, you took $5 million in that country name. It's like, what countries did he not take money from? And the Merrick Garland is directly interfering in a presidential election. Merrick Garland is a craven evil man who is scorned and bitter that he was never on the United States Supreme court and is using the attorney general's office as a Democrat super PAC against active presidential candidates..
The Breakdown
Bitcoin's New Governance Challenge
"All right, Friends, well, as it is Bitcoin conference week, I thought why not do an LRS all focused on Bitcoin. So today we have two essays both sort of grounded in the recent feast bikes and both really focused on what happens next and more specifically what sort of additional emphasis on layer twos we might need as a Bitcoin community. The first piece was written by coin desk Michael Casey and is called frogs, fevers and fees, Bitcoin's new governance challenge. Michael Wright's this is why we can't have nice things. Just when we thought we'd learned our lessons from the blow ups of FTX, three arrows capital, Celsius at all, meme coin fever strikes again. Crazy crypto casinos are back. People are making ridiculous gobs of money from tokens based on a frog image, while others stand to lose massively as a rational bidding takes hold. At this time, the fever is not only infecting greedy human minds, but messing with the functioning of the most valuable blockchain in the world. The ability to create tokens based on the new BRC 20 standard, which was enabled by Bitcoin's taproot upgrade, has fostered a variety of new Bitcoin based meme coins, many mimicking those released on other chains that have recently experienced wild price movements. This past week, for example, the Ethereum based Pepe coin rose almost 5 million %, then lost 50% off its highs. This follows the creation of the ordinals protocol, which gave rise to Bitcoin based data inscriptions that function as non fungible tokens. These use up a lot more data than a basic Bitcoin transaction, which means they're driving up Bitcoin fees. Bitcoin miners have lately been earning more from transaction fees than from their routine 6.25 Bitcoin block reward, and that means if you want to send a small amount of Bitcoin on chain, it won't be accepted or you'll have to pay a prohibitively exorbitant price for doing so. I can hear Elizabeth Warren's anti crypto army snickering. These crypto Bros are so obsessed with mooning into lambos, that they're destroying what they claim to be this technology's core purpose as a better form of money and value exchange.

"Do tell, Mitt Romney. But here's another prominent Republican's reaction, the Speaker of the House. You know what Kevin McCarthy said? A guy who has considerably more power, of course, than Mitt Romney, the failed presidential candidate and Trump hater from Utah and California. Kevin McCarthy tweeted out, today is indeed a dark day for the United States of America. It is unconscionable for a president to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades. I and every American who believes in the rule of law stand with President Trump against this grave injustice. House Republicans will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable. God bless Kevin McCarthy and this perfect response to this disaster. We should all stand with Donald Trump. I don't care what you think of the guy on a personal level. I don't care if you plan to vote for him or not. This is about the country. And Joe Biden's Democrats, the beast doesn't care about ripping this country apart. They don't care about you or me. They don't care about trampling all. I'm getting so many text messages today from people who are beyond angry. They're grieving for this country. This is a day of great damage to the United States of America. And in the spirit of Kevin McCarthy's urging Americans to stand with President Trump, we made a decision during this show today to bring the broadcast to Miami, where Trump will be shamelessly charged in a federal courthouse. And I'm hoping a lot of Americans show up in Miami Tuesday. I suspect they will. We'll talk to many of them and we'll broadcast from Miami. We're taking the Mike Gallagher show on the road again, kind of an extended road trip after all the travel we've done this week, but it's worth every bit of it. We'll be broadcasting the show on the Salem News Channel and on the radio across the country and online and everywhere we're available. We'll be broadcasting the show from Miami on Tuesday. I believe it's important to represent you. And I'll be bringing you with me to Miami, Florida. Our number is 800 -655 -MIKE. We've got a lot to cover on this epic day, epic in a terrible way. A terrible, terrible way. And of course, most of us understand the timing. The whistleblower from the FBI all set and the news broke yesterday with specificity saying that Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe to cover the Biden family corruption. Biden was asked about that yesterday. Here's cut number one. This is a video courtesy of C -SPAN where Biden just dismissed this whistleblower as a bunch of malarkey. I'm supposed to walk off the stage now. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The bribery allegation, Congresswoman Nancy May says there's standing evidence in the FBI file that you sold out the country. Do you have a response to the congressional Republicans? Where's the money? I'm joking. Mr. President, Mr. President..

Border crossings are off from last week's highs as US pins hopes for order on mobile app
"A new mobile app is allowing 1000 would be migrants per day to make an appointment to apply for asylum in the United States. Homeland Security secretary Alejandro mayorkas says they were encouraging migrants to use the legal pathway toward entry, and that's helping to reduce the flood of migrants coming in at the southern border. Approximately 50% drop. He spoke on ABC's this week with George Stephanopoulos. We have to incentivize the use of the lawful pathways and disincentivize placing people's lives in the hands of smugglers. But Texas Republican congressman Mike McCall says too many migrants are being allowed in without a hearing date, which the now expired title 42 rule prevented. When they get into the United States, whether they have legitimate claims or not, they're released into our society. And then you have 5 million people without any legal status. The Biden administration says it will penalize those who try to seek asylum without going through the proper channels. I'm Jackie Quinn

"And incidentally, this all happened yesterday on the very same day that the FBI agreed to allow members of the Oversight Committee to review documents that tie Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme with a foreign national. You think it's a coincidence? There are no coincidences. It is a horrific abuse. We are a banana republic right now. And you either get it or you don't. You're either paying attention or you're not. I hope you acknowledge the seriousness of this indictment that's going to happen Tuesday in Miami. And as a show of support for Donald Trump, I'm bringing the radio show and the Salem News Channel with me to Miami. We'll be broadcasting from Miami on Tuesday. I'll be interviewing supporters. I'll be in Miami on Tuesday. To represent this audience, I'm going to bring you with me proverbially because the whole country should be with Trump right now. I don't care what you think of his policies. I don't care what you think of his tweets. I don't care what you think of his personality. I don't care what you think of the man. You should be outraged that a sitting president wants to jail his political opponent. Josh Hawley said that last night with Laura Ingraham. Here's cut number eight. Here's the U .S. Senator from Missouri responding with clarity to Merrick Garland's decision to charge Donald Trump with very serious felony charges. If the president in power can just jail his political opponents, which is what Joe Biden is trying to do tonight, we don't have a republic anymore. We don't have the rule of law. We don't have the Constitution. Our Constitution is built on the basic rule of law and due process. And nobody should be in doubt of what's happening tonight. Joe Biden and his cronies are trying to take out their chief political opponent. This has never happened before in American history, Laura. We are in dangerous, dangerous waters, and it is because of Joe Biden. They're playing with fire. They really are. We are in dangerous waters. Senator Hawley is right. And this is a massive, massive mistake. Perhaps the emotion was best captured by Mark Levin from the weekend Fox News Channel or Fox News Channel show. And of course, the iconic broadcaster here he was last night with Sean Hannity on Fox News. President Trump is 76 years old. If the Department of Justice gets his way, he will die in federal prison just by one of these counts, conspiracy to obstruct justice, which has a 20 -year maximum sentence. This is a disgusting, disgusting mark on American history for the future to come by these bandits in the White House, by the Democrat Party that don't play fair anymore. They don't want to just win elections. They want to take control of this country. They want one party rule. And they have used the Department of Justice and the FBI to get what they want. He went on to disgusting, of course, is the right word. Of course, already our lines are jammed. 800 -655 -MIKE, whenever there is a huge epic story, we always turn it over to you. I want your voice front and center. -6453. 800 -655 Mark Levin went on to express the anguish and the utter frustration that millions of us feel over this witch hunt. You're hearing me right. And let me say this today. What is today's date? June 8th. June 8th is the day of insurrection, not January 6th, a weaponized US attorney, a weaponized attorney general of the United States have unleashed the full force of the United States government against a former president, the leading Republican nominee to take on the existing president. We have never seen anything like this in the United States. We saw it under Stalin. We've seen it in other autocracies, Marxist regimes, fascist regimes, the Third World. But they have taken the United States of America and they have dragged us into a hellhole. This is embarrassing. It's humiliating. And I'm going to tell you something. There are tens of millions of us. You have crossed the Rubicon twice, which has never been done. And we will never forgive you. Never ever. And that's the bottom line. I'm done. 800 -655 Mike.

Jake Tapper Resumes Trashing Trump Following CNN Town Hall
"I thought Jake tapper was absolutely going to break down and start crying. All of these panelists from Anderson Cooper to Jake tapper, they come on screen. They all look constipated. They don't look like they haven't been regular in weeks. Here was Jake tapper. And the falsehoods kept coming fast and furious about the January 6th insurrection about the threat of vice president Pence about pence's ability to overturn the election about COVID about the economy and more. He called the black law enforcement officer a thug. He said people here in Washington D.C. at Chinatown don't speak English. It's Caitlyn as a nasty woman because she was trying to get him to answer a question. Perhaps most chillingly, the day after, a 9 person jury of his peers in New York found him liable for sexual battery and defamation and ordered him to pay writer E Jean Carroll $5 million. He made fun of her account of her sexual assault. And many in the audience laughed. Jake, your network invited him on. Your network is going to reap the benefits of huge ratings.

"APPEALED! No, no, no, it actually hasn't. No, it hasn't. You're just a moron. You should be embarrassed that your parents spawned you. You're just stupid. That's just what you do for a living. Ignorance is stupid. black You're like a hole of knowledge. Knowledge goes in, but it never actually comes out. Alright, well, surely that's the end of it. No, it actually gets better. Here's the actual quote. Under the statutory scheme, this is from the judge, by the way, established by the Presidential Records Act, The decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president during the president's term and in the president's sole discretion, the judge wrote in her March of the March 2012 decision, which was never appealed. Did you hear that? which was Which never was appealed. Did I read that? Did I mention that for the fifth time that wasn't appealed? So it sounds like that's legal precedent that the president decides what his records are, what to segregate. It's made by him during his term and in his sole discretion. Gosh, it's so weird. Sounds like President Trump had the ability to keep in mind. Because I want to stick the principles on this. You are perfect. It is a legitimate perfectly political argument for you to make that, hey, I don't think Donald Trump should be president again. I'm not saying I agree with it. I'm saying it's a political argument to me because he is. Fair enough. The legality of it is absolutely categorically not in question. Well, why did they charge him? Because they don't care for the same reason Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe from Ukraine and his family, according to this allegation, and then joked about it yesterday. Because he doesn't care. It's like that joke, why do dogs...we'll have to leave that for another show. Because they can. Mm Here, the quote gets better. From the judge. Since the president is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of Joe Biden. During his time in office, it would be difficult for this court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal records. You don't think this is all going to come out in court? You don't think Trump's defense attorney is going to read this in court? Say, judge, the government's never appealed this. The government's never appealed this. In other words, it's conclusive that the president has his sole discretion. But then sounds that like they would lose. Well, they're going to, of course, hope they get an Obama judge who really probably won't care about the law, so it won't really matter. But if they do get a judge at Sane, a Democrat appointed or Republican judge, sure I'm there are some that still care about their job. How do you read this and go, oh, no, no, they didn't really mean that because they appeal? Oh, no, they didn't appeal it, that's right. So they agreed it's the president's sole discretion. Here, it gets even better. Jackson's ruling, along with the DOJ's arguments that preceded it, made some other sweeping declarations that have more relevance to the FBI's decision to seize notes and papers Trump took with him to Mar -a -Lago. The most relevant is that a president's discretion on what are personal versus official records is far reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will. Folks, it doesn't get any more, open, shut, open, shut. It doesn't get it. Can you read? Liberals, if you're having a tough time following me, your reading comprehension is that of Bush or AOC, I get it, but you can go to the article, it's in my newsletter today, and you can read yourself. Here, one more. This is like the ultimate, spread the nuts moment. Here you go. Judge Jackson also concluded that a decision to challenge a president's decision about paperwork, classified in another way, lies solely with the National Archives and cannot be reviewed by a court. Am I reading that right? No, no, no. I'm reading not it right, Jim. It says, it turns out, it says, and can't be reviewed by a court. I'm sorry, I said cannot. I didn't read that. And can't be reviewed by a court. Okay, just checking. And can't be reviewed. Yes, and it can't be reviewed by a court. weird So because they're charging him criminally. At least it's a criminal matter. No, it's not. No, it's not. Turns out the judge dropped the gavel on that one too. If the Archives wants to challenge a decision, that agency and the Attorney General can initiate an enforcement mechanism under the law. But it is civil a procedure and has no criminal mechanism. Oh, freaking weird bro. It's almost invented another crime. Remember the parking thing Money guy. Remember they charged him like he paid for parking for this guy and then reported. Oh my gosh, I paid for parking once for Jim at Renato's down the block. Jim's like, I didn't have to. I don't remember that. Yeah, of course you didn't. I paid for an event. I'm kidding. There's no payment ever, but I would have paid for Sparky. You'll find me in jail next. You know, you want to, this is the craziest thing in the world. Is that even a joke? I used to buy lunch. Sometimes there's some of the people on my crew like a year ago when they started, you know, I actually stopped that. I'm dead serious because I am so concerned about becoming the subject of one of these FBI DOJ like goon hunts. They do that. I don't want to give them any ammunition. I'm like, sorry guys. I have not really, the guy paid for parking, found himself in jail. I'll probably get a knock at my door tomorrow. I'll be under Alvin Twinkies. I'll be at my door tomorrow. I don't know if he can fit through door. my That's what I'm kind of saying. It'd be great. Twinkies, I have a really small door. Twinkies would be like, uh, it's so funny. Imagine he does a raid. You can start sideways, bro. You may come in sideways. Maybe you'll make it. This is the collusion model again, folks. This is the collusion model all over again. What's the collusion model? I just laid out for you in absolutely dispositive terms. There is no crime here. It is at best a civil matter. There is judicial precedent. It has never been appealed. Nobody disputes this case happened. This is collusion the model, which is you invent a crime, Russian collusion, right? Invent a crime and then go interview people in the Trump orbit about the bank robbery that never happened. And then if you can catch them and set them up in a lie about a bank robbery that never happened. Charge them with a process crime about a crime that never happened. They're going to do this right now. happened. Invented a crime. Trump committed espionage by stealing classified documents, which were not classified by statute, by law, by legal precedent, and then charge Trump with crime he never committed.

Donald Trump to Appeal $5M E. Jean Carroll Defamation Suit

She ain't ever going to see that $5 million. She will never see a penny of that. Trump is going to dig his heels in, appeal, and I talked to three different legal analysts last night who said that there was so much there were so many shenanigans in this kangaroo court where the judge allowed the access Hollywood tape that had no relevance in this. The judge allowed other women to make similar accusations, which had no relevance. It didn't fall under any of the parameters of her accusations against him. And of course, her accusations included the fact that she didn't happen to remember the day, the date, the week, the month, or the year, which of course prohibited Trump from being able to present a defense. So, does it help him or does it hurt him? Common sense tells you all of this hurts him. But common sense does not seem to be on the ticket here. He just keeps soaring in the polls.

"This is what happened to Donald Trump yesterday In a civil trial Found liable for $5 million in payments to a woman who I'm going to play in a second named E Jean Carroll who won on CNN a while ago and said in my opinion one of the craziest things you will ever hear on TV that you know rape It's sexy Uh no no no it's not no no it's not No it's not We took a poll this morning on the show just to be sure we're wearing crazy and it was unanimous It definitely is not It is a violent awful crime criminal immoral evil unethical grotesque disgusting thing It is not sexy There's nothing sexy about it But you can listen to her own words I'm just playing hard words on This is one of the rare times by the way that I agree with Anderson Cooper on CNN who's like you know that's violent you know take a listen I feel like a victim I was not thrown on the ground and ravished It's a word raped carries so many sexual connotations This was not this was not sexual It hurt But I think most people think of rape and it is a violent assault It is not I think most people think of rape as being sexy Let's take a short break Think of the fantasies We've got to take a quick break If you can stick around we'll talk more on the other side You're fascinating to talk to

Trump appearing at CNN town hall after sex assault verdict
"One day after losing a civil lawsuit against a woman who accused him of sexual assault, former president Donald Trump will appear on CNN for a town hall. Trump will join the network for a two hour town hall event in New Hampshire, the forum was publicly announced last week, and is expected to be notable because it would be bringing together a network and a candidate who have long sparred with each other. It's also the day after a civil jury in New York found that Trump had sexually abused and defamed advice columnist E Jean Carroll, the jury rejected claims that Trump raped Carol but awarded her $5 million in damages. The civil trial verdict returns focused to questions over Trump's treatment of women over the years, and tonight he'll be forced to respond to tough questioning from host Caitlin Collins and the audience.

Jury finds Trump liable for sexual abuse, awards accuser $5M
"A New York jury has found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E Jean Carroll in 1996. Carroll said the future president raped her in a Manhattan department store, which he denied. After deliberating just a few hours, the jury rejected that claim, but did find Trump liable for sexual abuse and defaming Carol and ordered him to pay her $5 million. It's a judgment that could haunt Trump as he seeks a White House return. While rejecting what he called a false accusation, Trump said on social media he was not allowed to speak or defend himself and would appeal the unconstitutional silencing no matter the outcome. Trump had actually rejected an invitation to testify and did not attend the trial. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

"$5 million" Discussed on Opening Arguments
"Zip recruiter dot com slash post. And we are back. I think we learned a lot in that interview. It's certainly wild to see spider merit treated as the unlikely hero, did not see that one coming. If you told me the terpsicore was one of the heroes though, like about. Yeah, no, I don't think that one's coming. But one of the ongoing issues we found out about is that the party responsible for paying the $5 million prize is not called lindell management LLC that just so happens to share an address in a legal department with my pillow, my pillow headquarters, I suppose, in chaska, Minnesota. And we found out that the lawyers intend to conduct discovery about that entity to try and go after its assets, which is good. We're not mad about. So that can go either one of two ways, either lindell management LLC really does have $5 million to pay out hooray, or if it doesn't, Billy glasser will have a good argument that it was a sham entity, and they can pierce the corporate veil and go after either Mike lindell and or my pillow, which can both afford to pay the $5 million. Yep, yep. And you know, we also learned that for all his bluster, Mike lindell had an awful lot of input in this process, right? His lawyer curdles and drafted the contract. It was offered to all of the participants on a take it or leave it basis, right? That was the continuing references to contractive adhesion. It the contract specified that you had to arbitrate any claims and not be in soda. Yeah, in Minnesota. And that arbitration was, you can conduct an arbitration in front of a single arbitrator, but no, this one had to be before a three judge panel, and we learned that lindell had his fingerprints all over two of those arbitrators, so, you know, in public when he's talking to the gateway pundit or whatever, lindell might make a bunch of mouth noises about suing all the way to the Supreme Court to overturn this unfair arbitration verdict of Democrats that were out to get done. He did say that. Oh yeah, but two out of three of them were pretty much he had picked by him and I would not be surprised to discover that that bluster does not translate into, you know, an actual lawsuit. But we'll see. And that means we will have yet another opportunity to talk about Michael lindell. Better or worse. Oh my God, he's never going away. He'll be here until the earth falls into the sun. Oh, yeah, well, you know, that's only what, 5 billion years away, so yeah. He'll still be screaming at Steve Bannon. Oh God. Well, that's the show. Liz, thanks so much for being here. And thanks again to Brian glasser and Carrie Joshi for coming in doing this interview and giving us a behind the scenes peek at what it's like to depose a litigator against Mike lindell. That was awesome. Thanks guys. You got

Bitcoin's Ordinal Inscriptions Creates $1B Token Market
"Ordinals came out a few months ago, and they were an experiment that assigned each satoshi a unique number and used the witness portion of the Bitcoin transaction to quote unquote inscribe arbitrary data. So that could be text, images, et cetera. This is why they are called ordinal inscriptions. People started using them to create what is effectively a version of NFTs on Bitcoin. Although some think they're even cooler than NFTs because the actual data itself is on the Bitcoin blockchain. Well, a couple months ago, a pseudonymous developer named domo experimented with the idea of using inscriptions to create a rudimentary form of token issuance. This he called BRC 20, probably referencing ERC 20, which is Ethereum's token standard. Since then, thousands of these token collections have popped up. They're basically all meme coins. They're all experiments, but some of them are actually getting valuable. At least in the sense of people being willing to spend real resources for them. Over the last week, the total market cap of BRC 20 tokens have gone from the tens of millions, which, by the way, still would have been a lot just because these things are lines of text to near on a $1 billion this morning. The biggest collection the original order has a market cap approaching 300 million all on its own and a 24 hour volume over 5 million. Now there are severe debates going on about this. On the one hand, some folks think that this is a huge boon for Bitcoin in that it's driving up fees, which is good for minors and chain security, it's demonstrating what a scarce resource Bitcoin block space is, and it's creating incentives to solve scaling issues with layer two. On the other hand, there are folks who are aghast and see it causing congestion and crowding out other quote unquote more legitimate use cases for Bitcoin. Now, I put more legitimate in air quotes because of course, legitimacy is in the eye of the beholder and in the will of the free market.

At a news conference carried by KTRK, San jacinto county, sheriff Gregg capers, says the search for 38 year old Francisco or a pesa ended Tuesday when authorities received a tip to his location, a home near Houston about 20 miles from where the shooting occurred.

"Alex, you got to wonder why all of a sudden his Fauci back on a media tour? Is there something coming? Usually this stuff isn't out of nowhere, my speculating too much is this, it seems. It could be something as simple as a book deal. And he's, you know, that he's got, you know, a couple offers out there and he wants a couple $1 million extra. You know, it made me sad to read the comments that were posted at the bottom of The New York Times interview with him. The interview itself was his usual nonsense and lies. But all these people on the left, they just, they don't get it. They think, I mean, they still believe in him. It's amazing to me that, you know, we're three years into this. Basically, governments have given up on the vaccines. Companies have given up on the vaccines. I didn't say companies, but governments have certainly given up all the vaccines. People have given up on the vaccines, but if you read The New York Times, these people, there's this hard group of 20 or 30% of the United States that believes that, you know, without Fauci, we all would be dead and without the vaccines we all would be dead. I mean, he said so many crazy things in that interview, but the craziest thing he said was that he thought the vaccine could save 5 million lives in the United States. Unbelievable.

Tell us, give us the history of, you know, give us the short history first, and then we can kind of get dilate. But let me say what it is. You care about Israel and about what we're talking about, a 21 day fast. It's kind of a big deal. So there's a lot. So give us a little version of your connection with Israel and how central why this is central to what's coming up on this fast. Well, what this call is, real simple, the one liner call, it's a calling a million people, although we're far past that number right now, but that's a million people to pray one hour a day for 21 days for Israel in May. That's it again. Let me say it again. Calling a million people to pray one hour a day for 21 days. So it's a global Isaiah 62 is what were the term we're using. Now, why are we saying Isaiah 62? Because Isaiah 62 is one of the most powerful prophetic passages in the whole Bible about the glory of God and Jerusalem. It's 12 verses and every single line of the verse is it about the glory of God on the city of Jerusalem and most believers are not even not aware of Isaiah 62, which is okay. But at the end of this fast, I'm anticipating about 5 million people participating at some level by the numbers that are happening right now. At the end of this last May 7 to 2028, 21 days, these 5 million people are going to be familiar with Isaiah 62. And it's one of the most glorious chapters of the entire Bible on Israel and praying for Israel.

The Supreme Court has preserved access to a drug used in the most common method of abortion, projecting lower court restrictions while a lawsuit continues.

"Want to talk about the border. You have, you have really done an amazing job of broadcasting down there and I'm curious to know after months of being down there. What are your observations? What do we need to know about what's happening along our border? I just got to tell you it's complete and utter chaos. And I believe this is a purposeful on the part of the Biden administration. You did bring up the fact that title 42 is about to end. It's a month away. We know people have been piling up on the other side of the border. Those are people that have been trafficked to come into the United States illegally so many children, so many women, so many men, people that have not been properly vetted, people from all over the world. And right now, I mean, by the end of the Biden administration, we're looking at numbers way over 5 million entering the United States. And over 1 million known goda ways.

This open border policy has created a disaster all through Central America. It's a global problem because now we have people coming from as far away as in droves from as far away as China.

Reparations May Be Given to Blacks in California
"During his now infamous trial, January 6th defendant, Jacob chansley, AKA the Q shaman, faced some very hefty sentences. These included a 5 year prison sentence and a fine of up to $250,000. In law, such fines are levied as a form of restitution in order to compensate for costs such as damaged property, medical bills, resulting from personal injury, or even to pay an opponent's legal fees. The concept of reparations is that it is a form of punishment that can also help to repair the damage that was done by the accused. It's important to note, the government can not find you with reparations out of the blue. You have to be guilty of a crime. It's good the Chancellor wasn't ultimately hit with the full amount as a quarter of a million dollars for most people can't be raised easily. People work their entire lives and still can't save that much money. It's such a large amount that even someone as gullible as judge Lambert, a man who genuinely believed the Q shaman was somehow the breath from destroying America's democracy forever. Thought the penalty was overkill. Lately, there's been another shaman in the news, only this shaman has two ends, shaman Walton is a member of the San Francisco board of supervisors. A body which voted unanimously last Wednesday to approve a plan to give $5 million to every eligible black resident as part of the city's plan to make reparations for slavery. The plan was a way to go before final approval, like every other member of the board, shaman Walton wants to see it through. He says, quote, we have to stay focused and stay together as a community, he says. Because now it is a 100% more prevalent that we can not be separated or divided. Let's stay the course. Because a $5 million payday for me is almost here. It might be pertinent to point out that shaman Walton himself is black. And something also tells me he will be included among those deemed eligible for the payout.

"Ever. They'll destroy they'll come after you. They'll destroy you. I'm just telling you. All right, we got to take a break here. When we come back straight to the phones, 8 four four 747 88 68. This is the tons turn show. All right, there's a report out. Oh, this could be devastating for the desantis campaign. Which is really not even a campaign yet because he hasn't actually announced he's running for president. But media Ida's reporting a culinary scandal involving the governor governor desantis apparently now being accused of eating chocolate pudding with his fingers. This from the reporting of mediaite that the governor is lacking social graces, he was on a jetliner, I will read this to you that desantis enjoyed a delicious chocolate pudding dessert by eating it with three of his fingers. According to not one, but two sources familiar with the incident. I'm not making this up. So by the way, I know Trump has already decided on a nickname for desantis, they're calling him what tiny D I think putting fingers. Putting fingers might be the better, the better nickname. Let's go to the phones. 8 four four 747 88 68 Gary and South Carolina, hi Gary, how are you today? I'm doing good, sir. How about yourself? I've been doing pretty decent over here. What's on your mind? I think people should be able to carry their firearms if they have a concealed to carry weapons permit. If they've gone to that trouble to do so and they should be allowed to carry on any premises. Unless something like a government building or something, I can see understand that part. But I don't think the I don't think they're worse in restaurants. I don't think I would call it forcing them, but on the other hand, you're giving people who have that constitutional right to the ability to carry their firearm, but they also should put provisions if it's a carry to conceal conceal it. Don't keep it on your holster where it's exposed in a cause alarm and make some other people in a restaurant uncomfortable. You know, it kind of goes both ways. I can actually see the restaurants point of view. You're going to make my people uncomfortable. They don't know if this is going to finish its dinner and then go Berserk or whatnot. You know, it's just one of those scenarios where they should provide provisions and give both sides the opportunity to kind of clarify like being able to carry your concealed weapons because you do have the carriage you can see in the restaurants on the other hand, should allow that, but then still be able to provide a provision do not expose it. I don't want to take away rights from the private business owners. You know what I mean? Gary, it's because once you start going down that slope, it's a slippery one. And I hear what you're saying. You know, you probably seen this before. There's been a mass shooting at a Walmart and the next day what happens. Some guy, just to show that, you know, gun rights goes into the Walmart with an AR-15 strapped to him, and then he gets upset when people say, what the heck are you doing? I mean, you gotta use some common sense here. You know what? I get what you're saying. And I'm not saying the guy doesn't have a right to do that, but don't be a jerk about it. Right, exactly. Well, at that point, if you're going to alarm people and doing something like carrying an AR-15, that would be to alarm people. You don't need points. Yeah, we get what you're doing, yeah. Yeah, at that point, he should be stopped and not allowed in the store. I mean, if you're going to just show off your weapon like that, it causes people to be upset. And they don't know what this guy's going to do. But if you have a carrier, you can see you can feel it. You can have it in your pocket. That's fine. You go into the store and if somebody comes in there, they've got a problem. With their wife or something, some guy goes loony text. He thinks she's a waitress. She's seeing somebody else or something. And he comes in there and there are certain instances where somebody with a period you can feel can stop a lot of people from being killed. Fair enough, Gary, appreciate that call and thank you for listening. Let's go to Bill real quick and Memphis, kwa kw 8. I don't even know the name of my own radio station, Bill. What's up Todd? You know, I was gonna call mine on something else. I don't know what you saw, but I'll tell you what the main topic was here. I've owned a business. I've been in the restaurant business for over 30 years. And I've owned a business. And you know, we complain about all these things that the liberals are pushing on. And then we're gonna, like you said, it's just pure common sense. If a business says, we don't want you to bring your gun in, go to another business. That's it. Your comment is, why do you have to argue about this stupid stuff? It makes no sense to me. I mean, just leave your gun at home or go to another place. That's what I want to make a case for you because they don't believe in what the cake says. Go to another place. And I'll tell you this. I've been wrestling business for 30 years before. I will never go to a restaurant and make them make anything for me. If they act like they don't want to make me something, I'm leaving because let me tell y'all a little secret. If you're making them make you something they don't want to make, you really don't want to eat with that. What they're serving. What you want to be, but that's reality. Bill, we got about 5 seconds here. You want to give you a restaurant a shout out? No, I don't have it anymore. I used to have one in midtown a long time ago, but I know how it is. People come in. All right, I want to add crazy. Like they have ice for no reason. That's it. Food and actually. All right, Bill, God bless you. Folks, great day, great calls today.

"What was your initial reaction when you heard this? And have you heard anything from the former vice president? Do you even expect to? No. And I think it's not woke. To say that something is homophobic or misogynistic, it doesn't make it. You know, it doesn't make you a snowflake to tell someone that they've made a mistake. Yeah. And you know, I spoke up for two reasons. One, I'm always going to stick up for my family, especially my kid. Yeah. And I don't know if you have that picture there of Gus in the hospital, but I know we all struggle to find a balance between work and family life. And I've never seen someone work harder than my husband to find that balance. But I think Republican or Democrat, we can all agree that when your child are prematurely born child, barely 5 pounds. When your kid is connected to a ventilator, you don't want to be anywhere, but at their bedside. That's where you're going to be. And watching Gus in the hospital for anyone who has ever experienced having a child in the ICU. Nicu. It's very difficult. When they're tiny little hand is gripping around your finger, you know, I would watch Pete have to peel Gus's fingers back and duck into the little bathroom in his room so he could do a zoom with a virtual background so nobody would see that he's in the hospital. Wow. You know, and the other reason I spoke up is because, like I mentioned, we all have an obligation to hold people accountable for when they say something wrong, especially when it's misogynistic, especially when it's homophobic. And I just don't take that when it's directed at my family. And I don't think anybody else would especially when you bring a very small medically fragile child into it. And also, these are people who, you know, I always get really angry because these folks act like they don't know what it's like to have kids. They have no idea that it is not, as you say, we all experience the same stuff when our kids are sick and you gotta take care of your kid. But this and also this joke is so old. I mean, it's like so lazy. If you're gonna make a joke, at least have your own. Yeah, I mean, I could come up with a couple of good jokes about Pete Buttigieg. But. The thing is, the kids are older now, right? Yeah. But we haven't moved on from this joke for some people on the other side of the aisle. But the thing about what he said is it flies in the face of what he says he is. He says he's a family values Republican. And a faithful one. Yeah, so I don't think it's practicing what he preaches here. But it's part of a much bigger trend, I think, attacking families and it wasn't just about attacking the LGBTQ community because someone wrote this and he checked it and I'm purposely said maternity leave rather than paternity leave, but also it's a bigger conversation about the work that women do in families, right? Taking a swipe at all women. Yeah. And all families and expecting that women would stay at home and raise children. I think is a pretty misogynistic view, especially from a man who just last year said that we should be supporting more people who adopt. Okay, so folks, it was all over a freaking joke at a roast, which is supposed to be wild, it's supposed to be debauchery, it's supposed to be raucous, he told a joke. And now you've got chance to eat booty judge on the couch there at the view, squawking like a schoolgirl over this. I've never seen anything like it. But the reality is that Pete booty judge, back on the campaign trail, was saying horrible things about Mike Pence. Horrible things, and these were not jokes. Questioning Mike Pence's faith in Jesus Christ because Mike Pence believed that marriage is between one man and one woman. Attacking Mike Pence because Mike Pence believes that two men can not give birth to twins. And by the way, nobody wants to talk about this, but there's something called a birth mother in the equation of Pete booty judge and his husband chastity. But nobody wants to talk about the birth mother, she doesn't exist. According to the mainstream media narrative, Pete and Chan study gave birth to these twins. They were even admitted into the hospital. You all remember the photographs, right? Of they had the hospital admission bracelets, a whole 9 yards. So my recommendation here, folks, is, again, if you're if you're white, never buy any rap music, never go to a rap concert because they'll come after you. And number two, if you're straight, don't you dare tell a gay joke. Ever..

"So there is a state and they're looking the state controlled by Republican super majority of Republicans. To be specific. And some legislation has been introduced in both the House and the Senate, that would ban business owners from banning people from bringing guns onto their property. So maybe you've been to go to a restaurant and there's a sign on the door that says you are not allowed to bring a gun onto the premises. And people get really upset about that. Basically, by and large, my general rule is, if there's a sign like that, I'm going to go and eat dinner somewhere else, it's not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but for a lot of people it is. You know, they say that's not right. So this law would then order these business owners, private business owners to remove those signs. So business owners would no longer have the right to say, no, you can not bring a gun onto the premises. So my question is very simple. Do you support that kind of legislation? Do you believe the government should step in and tell a small business or any other business how to run that business? 8 four four 747 88 68, that's our toll free telephone number. That's 8 four four 747 88 68. I'm just curious. I know at our radio facility here. I'll never forget this. We had an employee come up one day and said Todd, I hope you don't mind, but I carry. And I said, why would I mind? I said, this is an NPR. No, we support people. I have no problem with that. But that was my decision to make as the owner of the business. Why should why should the government come in and tell me Todd Starr's private business owner, how I should conduct the affairs of my business? Why would why would I agree with something like that? But I'm curious, how do you feel about that? 8 four four 747 88 68 that's our toll free telephone number. That's 8 four four 747 88 60 and I don't think maybe we can turn it around and say, well maybe the law ought to be that if you do have that policy where guns are banned, then you become liable for anything that happens on your property and people get hurt. Curious to hear your thoughts on that. Let's go to art and Ohio, art what's on your mind? Well, about half an hour ago or so or maybe a little more, you were talking about the SVB bank situation in California. Yes, sir. And the folks out there, right? Who are the investors in SVB bank? They walked into that, put their money on the line, and they said we are willing to play the high risk high reward game, the way SVB plays the game. If, in fact, they do that with their eyes wide open, which I'm guessing most of them are. Then when the bank takes a nosedive as investors, my understanding is the investors eat the loss, not the general public. So I don't know why anyone is talking about bailing that bank out. The investors money should be used to pay off the outstanding debts and the liabilities that the bank is there for. And since the FDIC covers the first quarter million, then those investors who are in that particular situation will get their quarter 1 billion from the FDIC and the remaining investors, their route to get their money is to let the investors who have invested in SVB bank eat the loss. That's right, because art again, if you're gonna take a, if that's a high risk option and it is, proposition, then you know what? Sometimes it's not gonna work out in your favor. And I'm with you. But again, I'm with you. I don't understand why the taxpayers should be on the hook for anything. Those folks put their money in they're hoping for high reward. But when you go in for high reward, you also go in with your eyes wide open that you are in high risk territory..

"Okay, so let me do that. Yeah, let me jump in here. So basically it'll be allegation is their child died. This was 2014. The child died and they were raising this money for a memorial garden, the memorial garden was never built, and now channel 5, all these years later, is accusing him of what misappropriating the money. What are they accusing him of? They basically in their headline on the story that came out said he kept the money. Now here's where it gets really interesting. Channel 5 a few hours ago deleted that line in the headline. He kept the money. They now say he won't say where the money went. But quietly silently instead of saying he stole the money, they just delete that. Like, well, nobody will notice, except there's a screenshot of where it said he kept the money. And now it's he won't say where the money went. Well, he's saying where the money went to other media outlets. He's just not talking to this muckraking, lying, you stole the money, fake journalist, with answers to him. But channel 5, just a few hours ago, changed their headline from he kept the money to he won't say where the money went. So they've sort of they fired this reporter yet. This Phil Williams guy? No, they have not fired him. They have not issued an apology. They have not issued a correction to the story. They just deleted that line. I think they're looking at the prospects of facing a lawsuit. Even a public figure when you lie about them, not have an opinion when you lie about them, even a public figure has a right to be compensated for slander and for libel. And in this case, I mean, they accuse him of stealing the money. Based upon attacking him about the death of his child 9 years ago. So, and in weeks, I mean, this has been going on for a long time now. They've been accusing him of inflating his resume, his credentials. They went after him about the college degree and they're trying to make him the Tennessee version of George Santos. I think that's what they're trying to do. Yeah, and it's the same muckraking reporter trying to chase him down the concourse in the airport, doing the typical stuff we see from these kinds of fake reporters. And those are legitimate issues. You know, if he overstated his degree, if he overstated what his college major was, this guy's gone back and looked at his transcripts from 20 some years ago saying, well, he really wasn't an economics major. Who cares? But this is a step further than that when you start literally claiming the guy stole money for a memorial fund for his dead child. That goes beyond, I think, what anybody would think would be fair game. And I think channel 5 should be ashamed of themselves. Other journalists in Nashville and middle Tennessee should be calling this guy out. If we're going to have journalists try to claim that their careers are part of integrity and journalistic integrity and credibility, you've got to call out and police your own. And their silence speaks as loudly about channels too, 5, 17, four, and everybody else. The Nashville Tennessee and this guy ought to be the front page opinion editorial on every station in every paper saying, this is not what journalism.

"All right, gotta take a break here. 8 four four 747 88 68. We're gonna get to your call so hang tight if you're on hold. Do you still trust Fox News? Are you tired of the endless investigations? Do you want to see somebody go to jail for something? 8 four four 747 88 68. This is the Todd star show. All right, welcome back. So in the state of Tennessee in the Nashville area, there is a brand new congressman, his name is Andy ogles, and he is in the middle of this attack from the mainstream media. I've never seen anything like this. The level of attacks, being directed to this guy. It's just bonkers wild. And the latest accusation came out yesterday from a Nashville television station, news channel 5. This is a far far left news organization, and the reporter is a raging leftist. And it's just an ugly thing that what they're doing here. Now I want to bring in a good friend of this program. He's one of the top political strategists in the state of Tennessee. If not the top political strategist, Steve gill, and Steve, I want you to set up this story for us. First of all, thanks for coming on the program. I want you to set up the story of what their alleging anti ogles has done now because this is pretty heinous. Yes. We see really outrageous behavior from the left wing. All the time. But this is a new, low, a ghoulish level of attack that's just blatantly fault. So Phil Williams is this muckraking so called journalist for channel 5. He's their investigative reporter who regularly goes out with half proof misinformation and smears people and then quickly moves to his next story. In this case, he did a story claiming that Andy ogles who had a child die at birth, Lincoln, ogles, he and his wife, Monica, had the child, Lincoln died at birth. They set up a count to do a memorial card. And raise it out $23,800. And when they looked at the cost that the memorial garden was going to be, 12 plots burial plots in this memorial garden, just the dirt was going to cost about $21,000. And the whole project was going to be closer to 60 or $80,000 because I think some people look at this story this story that channel 5 didn't think, well, why didn't they do the memorial garden with 23 grams? Well, again, just buying the dirt at the cemetery would have been 21,000. And building different landscaping and ADA compliant and then doing the burials for the kids that would have been buried there if they died earlier in a car crash or something would have been a 6 year $80,000 project. So Andy and his wife decided now we'll use the money. Most of which was provided by them, by the way. The first $5000 contribution came from Andy and his wife, about 80% of the donations came from their family and their friends. So this is not like people were being duped all over the country. They decided to use the money to actually help people who suffered the loss of a child or a family member..

"I'm going to give you the final word here on this. Okay. Well, the president is, as you said, with the Japanese interment and with those kind of things, the reparations to the actual victims. If you can show me a 175 year old black man from southeastern Virginia where I grew up, I'd be glad to give him a reparation. You don't have to be a 175 years old. Slavery was back. You could count a hundred years. You don't have to be a hug. Yeah. Yeah, just like you said, whenever you have a plan where you move to go post. So you don't have to go back to college. No, it's not a goalpost. And that's an interesting point that Bill raises. If you introduce me to a slave, introduced me to a slave, they're going to get a reparation. If you go back, yeah, show me somebody that's a 100%. I just say go hundred years. If you want to be if you want to be a hundred years, if you want to talk about reparations and squalor, I can guarantee you except for the few bad exceptions that the white southern sharecropper prepared worse than the slave. The people who had the big plantations were not going to offset the economic status. The white sharecropper got it worse than most slaves. A lot of people living in Appalachia right now it's dirt floors. I was making money off of it. They was making money off of the slaves. How can you say that they found? You are a very, you know, don't Dodge it. Come on now guys. Guys, this is, this is the debate we have to have here. This is the debate we got to have. And I'd rather have it on this radio program. And Johnny, I appreciate you very few conservative talk radio shows. We're going to put people who disagree with each other on the air, but that's what we do here. Because we've got to have this conversation. Well, Johnny, I would let you say that, but we're late for a break and they're going to yell at me. So you give us a call back, Johnny. Thank you for listening, Bill. Thank you for listening. Folks, we got to take a quick break, 8, four, four, 7, four, 7, 88, 68. All right, coming up a little bit later. Senator Bill hagerty is going to join us talking about that Russia jet collision. You got a lot of conservatives in the media wanting to go to war with Russia. So we'll see what the senator has to say also Denise Quinn. We're going to ask her about Walmart shutting down their stores in Portland because of crime also a school teacher, telling children to write a sexual fantasy, involving Crisco, misses butterworth and Barry White baby making music. We'll tell you more about that as well a little bit later on. But let's get right back to the phone's Chris in Memphis Tennessee listening to us on Kwame. Hey Chris, what's on your mind? Hey, yes, sir. I wanted to talk more about the whole reparations situation. Yes, sir. Go right ahead. Excellent. Now, ultimately, if we're going to be fair about the whole situation with slavery and when it comes to specifically, we got to look at how much money that was generated to the economy and whole entire United States economy when slavery was up and running, which was built on free labor. We're talking about billions of dollars. And even if it wasn't being the dollar, 'cause you know, we're talking about over a hundred years ago, the amount of money that impacted their economy. And that's the main reason why there was a Civil War to begin with because the north could not compete with the south in the free labor. That was provided. Based off of slavery. So the collision I would have says, what's the dollar? Is there a dollar amount that would make everyone happy? Well, based on inflation, I mean, we have to be realistic because those setbacks are still in place and where we can't event as a race because we don't have a foundation that was built like our counterparts that are what you consider the forefathers. So to answer your question about a number to get the ball rolling and you know, we're talking about inflation, you know, that's a key thing. I would say for those who can prove that they were descendants of slaves here in the United States, a good number at least would be 3 million. At least. And I'm being fair on that. At least tonight. So here in Memphis, Tennessee, the county commission is spending about $5 million of COVID cash to study a reparations plan and what that would look like. And so here in the Memphis area, I would say $3 million here would go a lot farther than $3 million in San Francisco. This is true. We're absolutely sold because so is this a perpetual thing? San Francisco wants for the next 250 years. They believe that blacks are going to be oppressed in America for at least 250 more years..

"All right, I'm with you, Henry. Appreciate that call. Let's go to Jerry the liberal in Milwaukee. All right, Jerry, what say you? Okay. I do agree with you in part that the reparations are just discussion side for Cisco. $5 million per black person center Francisco. It's like I did stay in amount of money. There's not enough money to pay that. So I think this highlights when the differences between liberals like me and I'm pretty liberal versus leftist. These are what these people are. They're a good deal to the left of me. And I'm not against reparations maybe in principle. But the amount of money, as you said, California was never a state where there was slavery. It would make more sense to have reparations and parts of the country that had slavery, but California wasn't. So what a point at one thing due to the Irish like this treated at times and indent your server to was sometimes hard. It was not slavery. The Irish were not brought as slaves, like those who were African American. So when people compare the two, they're not the same. They're different degree. Well, I would contend Jerry if you were it depends on your circumstances. And some people might feel like they were being treated worse than slavery as these endurance disturbances. I mean, the Irish retreated horribly. Horribly. In the early days. There was a, I'm not saying that what it was great, but they had a choice. So it wasn't quite the same. Jerry, I'm glad you and I agree on this because there is a lot of anger and it's really interesting in the Castro district, which is the typically that's the predominantly gay district in San Francisco. There is great outrage and the city councilman that hand or the supervisor over that area is really upset that his constituents are not more open minded about this. So I think to your point, a lot of liberals are going to be raising Cain about this too. And again, I want to make I can not support preparations in some principle, but not this. I mean, it's an insane amount of money. It would have to be very directed specifically. It's been a long time you've been calling onto the show. I think we're making some headway here. I think you're coming over to the right side of thinking, Jerry. You're recovering more liberals. Oh jeez. All right, Jerry, good talking to you. We'll leave it. We'll end it on a good note. Our good friend Jerry, the liberal from Milwaukee. Let's go to Memphis Tennessee, Johnny on K, WAM. Hey Johnny, what say you? Hello. How you doing? I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. Well, I'm calling the way in on reparations. I think that it would be easy to distribute the reparations if you found anyone that was a hundred years older. But yes, I do think black people deserve reparations because we help build the country and then, you know, you couldn't even go to a restaurant in the front door and eat and they had to pass along. But you know, I think the Irish and whoever misinterpreted history because they volunteered to come over here and I don't know too many of them that were slaves. And you have gay reparation where we have Americans I say not you have, but we have Americans as gay reparations to Asia. You gave reparations to the Indians. They are reparations, one poker hand at a time. What you agree? Well, I will say this and Johnny, I want to well, let me say this and then I'm going to bring Bill from North Carolina into our conversation here. You know, Johnny, when you look at the reparations for the Asian Americans that happened after their internment during World War II, those reparations were actually given to the people who were incarcerated, much like after the Civil War, 40 acres and a mule, and let's just go back to the end of the season. We never got to 40 acres though, time. But it was the option. You didn't, because you're not a 160 years old, 170 years, however long it wasn't. But Johnny, hold on, hold on. Okay. All right, but hold on. But they had the option. It was offered. So at that point, if it's offered and not accepted, that's not that can't be on the government and that certainly can't be on me who was born in 1967. Our family never owned slaves, our family was dirt poor. I know, but fear of the, it was offered. It was offered, like you say, it's time. I would agree that it was awesome. And I don't have a problem with that, Johnny. After the Civil War, it was never given no time. It was never it was offered, but the offer was taken off of the table time. You never, you know, even if people signed up for that for the anchors and the music, they couldn't receive it because they didn't get it. Many people received it, Johnny, they did. No, they did not. Well, history history says otherwise, I'm not saying every single black person who was a slave got it. But it was offered. I want to bring Bill into the conversation. So Bill, Johnny says reparations, it's a good thing. What say you? Well, no, I mean, the founding fathers when they stood up to constitution made sure that the sins of the fathers were not going to be put on the signs. The constitution wasn't written for black people though. The constitution was like you said, but the forefathers because if it was a constitution was written for black people, it says our men were created equal. And me and then was not created equal as you can see. As of now today, I don't mean to not create equal. There are two separate laws. One for black. Well, I'll say this. I'll say this and if you want to go back to the founding source, go back to Jamestown. The first lace it came over because the pirates captured him off of a Dutch slave trader, where he endangered servants. And then the economy changed in the late 1600s to where they became slave because that was an economic thing. That was the English. They passed the law. So if you want these reparations, go back to the source and go over there and ask King Charles. Hey, where's the reparations for the entire country? Well, you all are descendants of King Charles. You all come from your land, come over here because you always persecuted in your land, you come over here to escape that persecution, but then you turn around and persecute it. You've done the same thing to people. That was here. So you are not allowed to spend this British people. So, you know, we came from Ireland, which was persecuted by the British in the 1630s and go to the Irish man. You said earlier that they had a choice to come. They didn't have a choice in the 18. The Irish had a choice. They had no choice because they were starving. They left Ireland because of the constitution, the instructions that were given to the Irish by the English that they could only play. They could have stayed in. When they stayed, they died. They couldn't. They could only grow potatoes. They couldn't even sell their cows to their cells. When they were shipped in ships, they died. And who did that? But who did that? I want to go back here. Let's go back to hold on, guys. Hold on. Guys, guys, hold on just a second. But Johnny, it was African tribes that sold their enemies into slavery, so my question is, should they not be responsible as well? They say them about demand. Demand. It was a demand for black bodies. If you are as just like now, that's just like, now, Africa have their own resource they have their own food, they got their own animals. They have Africa don't even have to import nothing. So why should they not be? Why should they be off the hook there, Johnny? Yeah, this thing of the white man go over there right there land right there land and then have them fight in a month, each other. So everywhere, you all have wind. You often have college destruction, but you had to stay up. You don't want to give reparations. You know, you don't want to do nothing for black people as much as they've done for this land, you know, and that's the main debate..

"Let's go to the phone's lot of folks want to weigh in on this. And it's a fair question whether or not we should be paying reparations to anybody in this country. 8 four four 747 88 68 is our telephone number. Let's start with Patricia in North Carolina, high Patricia, what say you? Thank you for taking my call. I say absolutely no. I think your point that Native Americans, if anyone, but what about all the Germans and Irish my ancestors who came to this country and were slaves, they outnumbered the black slaves. So we got to start reparations, I think it's ridiculous. What we can give everybody, which affirmative action did was opportunity. What happens when they run out of this money we give them? Do we have to give them more reparations? It's never ending. And it's going to hit all the payers, all of us that are hardworking. The ones who have worked three jobs to get themselves through college and after working a lifetime still don't have, you know, over a $1 million. I just think about just think about this in a weird sort of warped way. This is almost a reverse form, a weird form of slavery, where you would have a large segment of the population being forced to go back to work just to pay for all of this. Correct. And it's not just going to be California. They're going to take it from federal handout. Oh, of absolutely. And by the way, this is not stopping in California. Again, Richmond, Virginia. They're having these conversations, Memphis, Tennessee, this is going to spread, and that's why we've got to nip this in the bud right now. Absolutely. And there's no incentive for them to work. Why should a black person work? Well, yeah, I mean, if you're getting $97,000 a year, I don't care what color you are. You're going to stay home. You're going to enjoy that $97,000 a year. I know I would. And unfortunately, we learned that through COVID and the lockdown. Yes, we did Patricia. And that there are so many people in this country of all sorts of skin colors who are willing to sit on their butts and get a check from the government and be content..

"And I suspect you will, too, once you hear the rest of the story as Paul Harvey used to say. So according to NBC News, every black adult in San Francisco is going to get 5 million bucks. Then they're going to eliminate all of the personal debt. So let's just say that, you know, you've got $25,000 debt on your discovery card. They're gonna wipe that out. So you're not gonna have to pay that if you're a black citizen in San Francisco. They're also going to take away all of your tax obligations. On top of that, so after making every black and San Francisco a multi millionaire, they're going to guarantee an annual income of at least $97,000. That's a lot of money. $97,000. But look, you've already got $5 million in the bank, so this is just spending money. But this is where it gets interesting. They're going to be giving you that annual income for at least 250 years. So I'm assuming here that the San Francisco board of supervisors, they believe that you, black person in America, are going to be oppressed for at least the next 250 years. And I know that's hard for a lot of you to understand, especially folks like Oprah, who's worth a $1 billion, but the poor woman is oppressed, and our friend Memphis grizzly star John Moran, who's making tens of millions of dollars as a 23 year old this young man is incredibly oppressed. He's not able to get a leg up in American society. I suspect we're going to have the same issue with poor people like Denzel Washington and Chris Rock. These poor people are not able to get a leg up in this horrible, heinous racist nation we call America. But it doesn't stop there. There are also going to give every black family a home. Well, let me back up. That's not exactly true. It's going to cost you. If you are a black person in San Francisco under the plan, you would allow you would be allowed to purchase a home for one dollar. As in 60 cents, so let's go through this. The reparations, let's say that you're a 21 year old, black man living in San Francisco right now and this is finally approved. And it has unanimous support by the San Francisco board of supervisors. Every black man who is 21 years of age or older would receive $5 billion cash settlement, they'd wipe out your credit card debt, they'd wipe away your tax obligations, you'd get at least $97,000 a year in salary for not working just for having black skin. And you're gonna be able to buy a home for a buck. Now I want to show of hands here and who among you listing right now would be willing to go with me to the tanning salon so you could self identify. This is unbelievable. Now, many of you might be thinking, Todd, this is parody. This is satire. Oh, we know you starred. You love to Josh with your audience. You love to kid.

"Well, let me ask you this. And I completely respect the classified Intel here, but once that information comes out, will the American people be shocked by what they hear? I don't want to get close to it. Okay. Fair enough. So every member of Congress has a TS clearance. I've been very, I've been very privileged to have a much higher clearance on that because my seat on the House intelligence committee before and before I was in the house and now I sit on the armed service committee in the Senate and we carry a much different clearance and I don't want to do anything. It makes perfect sense. So let's pivot over to the China balloon issue here. So the buy administration was shooting them down like it was duck season and now nothing. They haven't been shooting anything down. What's going on there? The policy on this is driven by the outcry of the media. When they don't feel like the media is on their side that make a decision. What you have is you have an administration with very weak leaders because you haven't administration that hired based on diversity, not based on ability. And so when you do that, you are not putting the best and the brightest people in place. And we've seen that from this administration. I mean, it's one crisis after next. You got Pete Buttigieg that during the Darren supply line crisis, he goes on maternity leave. I'm not even going to go there, but I think the picture of him and his husband laying in a maternity bed with their adopted child was quite disturbing when they said they were going on a maternity leave. I don't know of any CEO or world leader in a crisis that goes on maternity leave. I know my wife and I were sitting there talking about it going when we had our first child. She was bringing him to work because we had a small business. We were trying to build every day and she was bringing to work. The week after that we had our first child and because she had to breastfeeding every few hours, right? But she didn't miss work because we couldn't afford to. But then you have a guy that goes on vacation and is absent completely absent during a major crisis that happened in East Pakistan with the trained enrollment and he's still gone. They're absent. So now you go back and you could talk about the balloons. Who's making these decisions? Who in the administration is making this is we've been briefed by military leaders, we've been briefed with the FAA, we've been briefed by Department of Transportation and no one's making the decisions. The decisions are simply driven when it becomes when it becomes a political issue for him. So why are there shooting them down the ryman reason behind him? We still have informed exactly what the last three was they shut down and what they were gathering. We do know what the Chinese weather balloons slash surveillance balloon was doing are capable of doing, but I don't think they've been true to the American people. My theory on what the first big blend we shut down was doing. I think there were trace in our pipelines. And the reason why is because they had thermal energy thermal imaging in them. And they also was able to pick up Wi-Fi signals. And the pattern that it took was following a pipeline coming through Alaska to us because they understand trying to understand is that they can't beat us on natural resources, but they can disrupt the supply and say disrupt the supply of the pipeline coming in from Alaska. They'll disrupt 20% of our supply to our refineries. And yes, there's piping out there, but when you're in the middle of a cold winter and then you have thermal energy, the maps can be off, but when you have thermal energy, you can find exactly where those pipelines are. And you can tell where the signals are that have the valves that control on and off and disrupting them easily that way. That's my theory behind it, right? But they haven't even been honest with us with what they were gathering and we know what they know they have the technology to be able to show what that was what the blooms were gathering, but they haven't told us that. So they're not being transparent even with us with Congress, much less the American people and they need to tell us because the American people need to understand that China is not just simply a cold world threat. They are truly a threat that in this time, if I was saying it right now, I would unfortunately say that it's not a matter of if it's a matter of when they go into Taiwan and then what is our response and how much they come after us to keep us and prohibit us from interfering with them taking over Taiwan. There you go. Senator, we're going to have to leave it there, but perhaps the most important question of the day, have you seen the TV show Tulsa? It's one of my favorites now. Over on paramount. I mean, you guys got a great town. I'm a huge supporter of Sylvester Sloan. I love all his movies. I mean, he's changed my life with rocky and Rambo and then the expendables.

What an insane story folks, the teachers in Wichita undergoing training. Telling teachers that the lack of using pronouns could lead to death. We are here to support and educate students not to judge them or push them over the proverbial edge. The teachers were also told that to allow appearance wishes to not use the students preferred pronouns and or names is to allow yourself to be deputized to discriminate. In other words, they're calling the parents discriminatory. This is not acceptable. You know what's not acceptable? Is this indoctrination? And it shocking she said that a lot of teachers older teachers are now being bullied into retiring or getting out of the classroom. All right, we're going to be taking your calls on this, got to take a break here, 8 four four 747 88 68. That's 8 four four 747 88 68 will be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. By the way, you folks said Memphis Tennessee, listening to us on K ram. Crazy story. But the news team over at KW a.m. now reporting that a FedEx pilot, who was in his crash house, I guess that's where they go to sleep. Or in between flights. They had some thugs that hit the crash pad, sprayed it with gunfire. We understand the pilot is going to be okay. He's going to have surgery. He got hit, we believe in the shoulder. A retired U.S. Marine Corps colonel who'd spent his life deployed on a war zone and he gets shot in Memphis, Tennessee. So we want to pray for that individual FedEx's referring comments to the to the police department. So this is all sort of breaking news of Memphis, so you folks saw listening to us at Memphis, be sure to check out the top of the hour news. Hopefully they'll get that Intel for you. Let's go to North Carolina, our great new affiliate there, WS, JS, Bill wants to weigh in on reparations. Hey Bill, how are you today? I'm doing great. It's always better to be on this side of the grass than the other side. Well said, well said..

"Right, and let's take a step back and think about how our children are actually doing in schools. Even before the pandemic, our children are not doing well, they were not proficient in many, many districts across the country and reading, writing, mathematics, they were not at grade level. Fast forward two years of keeping schools closed thanks to teachers unions. And children's achievement has fallen off a cliff. Yet rather than making up that learning loss, getting children back to where they need to be to have those basic skills to succeed in life, children are instead spending hours a day talking about identity politics and things like this, divisive, personal value laden things. And so our children are not able to, again, 6 feet at the end of the day because instead they're being adopted with this kind of garbage. I'm reading through some of the materials here from Wichita public schools and folks listening to us on KQ a.m. radio in Wichita, you need to be calling your public school today to get to the bottom of this. Upon birth, we are typically categorized into one of two genders boy or girl depending on how our genitals are read. What? This is unbelievable. It goes on and on and on. This is really a deconstruction of gender. That's what it looks like to meet Nicole. Yes, and they're using materials from outright activist groups like glisten, GLS, the N, which is a gay and lesbian and to advocacy organization. That has been called the gender bred person, the gender unicorn, where it's pushing this idea that gender is a social construct. You know, Steve lessons told children, you know, beginning at kindergarten. Well, yeah, my adult picked my gender. You know, they made a guess when I was born. And so it's really, it's very confusing for children that age inappropriate levels. And so for teachers to be taught that this is how you should be introducing these subjects to children is, in my mind, it's an advocation of responsibility and really a betrayal of that trust that many of us have in our school. Parents defending education is the organization folks and we've got a direct link to their website on our live show blog, but defending Ed dot org defending Ed dot org if you want to check it out real quick here. Nicole, I'm curious. So this was the training material. Do we have any evidence that this has actually been implemented in classrooms there in Wichita? Well, the fact that this is something that teachers were taught, sadly, you know, you and I know that there are a lot of teachers who fully believe this that are bought into this. And for older teachers who maybe think, oh, you know, maybe this isn't my role. Maybe that's something that a parent should discuss with their children. We have seen in other districts across the country, younger teachers bullying older teachers, trying to encourage them to retire, move on. In Oregon last year, we got a video of a teacher on a Zoom, telling older teachers evolve or dissolve, right? Get with the program or else. And so there really is, I think, a lot of internal pressure on teachers, even, you know, good teachers who don't want to do these kinds of things. And so I think worrisome for the long-term trend of what do our public schools look like? You know, I was reading and some of the materials here, I was astonished at the number of LGBT employees in the Wichita school district. Right. Do you think that was another thing from the presentation? So which is that public schools has an estimated 340 plus staff that identify as LGBTQ. So the district itself says it has 5600 full-time employees. So that means that about almost 2% of staff actually identify as transgender, which is a really high percentage, and something that I think almost certainly impacts not only their outlook as we hear from the other side all the time. You're implicit bias. But then also, what kinds of lessons are you trying to model for your children? What kinds of topics are you talking about? It's funny because I think back when I was in school, I didn't know if my teachers were married. I didn't know if they had children. We just learned. But now we see so many teachers through videos that lives with TikTok and places like that. Where they feel that they have to talk about themselves all the time and make it about stem cells and their experience. And frankly, I mean, I have a second year old a second grader and a third grader. I don't want my children having those conversations with anybody. Be a teacher, be anybody else. Those are conversations I as a parent. It's so creepy. You see these videos and these grown adults are looking for affirmation from 5 and 6 year old 7 year old kids. It's very bizarre. Yeah. And it is this kind of move towards kind of teacher centric. It's all about me. It's all about me. And then we'll also see that play out in terms of teaching styles, where student centric and sadly, we have seen countless districts across the country where districts have parental excluded and policies. They say that students have a right to identify what their gender identity is. But parents don't have a right to know that information. And so schools are actively encouraging students, not only to figure out what their own gender identity is, but then to hide it from their families and their loved ones. Nicole, I'm curious. I know you guys are a national organization, is this a significant issue in other school districts or is this simply an isolated case? What are you guys finding out there? It is frighteningly it is absolutely everywhere. We have a tip line. And since our launch in March of 2021, we have receiving 50 to 205th a week from across the history. And in 2021, a lot of it was about race. It was ibram ten year, the 1619 Project. Last year, well over half, about 60% of what we got in was about gender issues, about pronouns, about bathrooms, about lesson plans like this, about explicit books. And so this is something that really it came on very quickly, but it feels like it is a very acute problem and family, one that is not going away anytime soon. And I don't know if you guys can share this and maybe in generic terms, but how did you guys get a hold of this information from Wichita? We filed public records requests. We like to do that just to get access to what districts are using, our teaching, because these are taxpayer funded institutions. They are responsible for how they spend our dollars. We file public service requests for training materials for curriculum. We even in 2021 actually were the ones that uncovered the national school board association's collusion with the Biden administration. We had every single board member of the NSBA in their home districts and were able to figure out that they had been working with The White House on this issue for weeks. Well, good for you. And it's great work you guys are doing and Nicole we appreciate you spending a few moments of time with us..

"What is we've got about 60 seconds left, pastor, what's the danger of Michelle Obama and Gavin Newsom in The White House? It is a, it's an image. It's a projected sense of we understand you. We embrace everyone, we have all these broad views on gender. We have these broad views on economy. We want to give everybody something. And here's the killer Todd. Here's the killer. Even if you don't, now they would never say this, but even if you don't, like us, make history with us. Come and vote for us. Make history. This is the first ticket of its kind. Come on out and make history. And people love to be able to say, yeah, I voted for them. I really didn't agree with their policies, but I just wanted to be part of history. I actually heard that from Obama's election in 2008. There you go. That's it. All right, pastor Jack always always great to have you on. I hope this is not, I hope this doesn't come to pass. Can I say you're a false prophet? I hope you are. Brother, I'd love to be in this context. All right, well, pastor always good hearing from you. I gotta get out to California sometime. We gotta fellowship. A man, God bless you, Tom. All right, God bless you, pastor Jack hibbs, from calvary chapel, Chino Hills. And I will just leave this to you ladies and gentlemen as we go to break here. What's your take on this? The possibility of a Gavin Newsom Michelle Obama ticket. You know, it's interesting. He's right. We should not discount Gavin Newsom, because he was able to push back hard against the recall and the only reason he was able to do that is because the Republican Party actively campaigned against Larry elder. All right, here's our telephone number 8 four four 747 88 68 toll free telephone number that's 8 four four 747 88 68 will be right back. All right, welcome back to the Todd star and radio program, let's go to the phone. Say four four 747 88 68. James and Arkansas, listening to us on Kay WAM. Hi, James, what's on your mind? Well, Todd, you know, I'll call in before in October the same thing before, but the Republicans have a problem. And I don't mean just the politicians. I mean, everyone that is registered as a Republican or conservative or whatever they want to call themselves. Because Democrats will vote for a piece of crap if that's the nominee. Republicans will say, oh, I can't vote for him because of whatever. You know, X, Y or Z and that's the problem the Republicans have, they don't support the nominee. They come up with, just like Trump. They'll come up with something. Some reason why they can't support it. Even though he did a fantastic job as president, they'll come up with some reason why they can't support him. Well, on the flip side of that James, you know, there are a lot of conservatives who refuse to vote for McCain and Romney. Well, yeah. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, Democrats will vote for the nominee whoever it is. It doesn't matter if they could, as Trump as Trump said one time, they could stand in the middle street and kill somebody and they'd still vote for him. You know, well, look, I had to hold my nose. Look, I held my nose and I voted for Mitt Romney, but I know a lot of conservatives who did not, and I still ask him to the state are really are you better off with 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama in The White House because that's what you're gonna get. And if the Republicans don't wake up and this time it's going to be establishment Republicans who stayed home in 2020, they stayed home and I guarantee you they will sabotage Trump's campaign again. I guarantee it. But we got to figure out a way around it. I have no doubt of that. And Paul Ryan confirmed that, and he's just a weasel anyway. Oh yes. I thought he was, I thought he was a weasel when he was in Congress, and he still always now..

"All right, you got about two minutes here, Jay. So finish your thought. Okay, so okay, so the next question is this. If you want if your shell be county commissioner and you want to investigate the vestiges of slavery, don't you think that you're going to have to go first class ticket to a crowd Ghana and stay in a 5 star hotel and eat 5 meals a day and go around by shelf limousine? I would guess you would have to do that. And then you'd have to go to Washington, D.C., and you'd have to look at the constitution. You'd have to find out why the Declaration of Independence didn't give independence to slaves, et cetera. In other words, you could spend $5 million just doing that. It's possible. It's possible, I'm not quite sure how they're going to be spending that money, Jay, but I can promise you this. I know the news team over at Kwame is going to be all over that story and they're going to hold them accountable for every single penny. Jay, we've got to run that music means we've got to take a break appreciate the call. We have Anna and John and Steve hang tight. We're going right to your calls.

"But you could be getting upwards of a quarter $1 million from the state. This is all fascinating ladies and gentlemen. This story from the Washington examiner, the California, reparations task force, was to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to every black resident in the state, and their scheduled to meet this week to talk about it. The commission includes 8 black people and one Asian American. And they're looking at giving folks about $223,000, every black person in the state. So I have a very simple question as we go to break here. Because this is being discussed all over the nation. As a matter of fact, right here in Memphis, Tennessee, they have just announced they're going to be spending $5 million to study reparations. Do you support this as an American citizen? Do you agree that descendants of slaves or people born in 1996? Deserve to have some sort of a reparation to the tune of $5 million. You know where this money is coming from. It's coming from your paycheck. 8 four four 747 88 68, that's our toll free telephone number. That's 8 four four. 747 88 68. You know, in moments like this, I just have to ask, what would madea do? Now an update from doctor Charles frighten G, United States Department of Energy. Recently, we released our conclusion that the COVID pandemic was likely caused by a leak from the Wuhan institute of virology lab, and not transferred from animal to human at the wet market. Since our finding, many have criticized us for being slow and reporting accurately on such an important event. However, we feel this is in error because the most likely explanation at the time was the wet market. Only just recently have we learned that there was no truth to the rumor that Hunter Biden was in the Wuhan wet market, looking for love in all the wrong places. He was a guest at the ping Pong palace in Beijing. Oh, and while I have your attention, we have also concluded that it was the Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor..

"He'll be on a little bit later. That's the latest from the metro diner. Thanks so much for coming out. All right, pardon me. We've got pollen. You can actually eat the air here in Memphis Tennessee so my apologies there had a little coughing fit on the radio. That was Brian kilmeade we're going to get to this story a little bit later on. Kilmeade going down to of all places, Florida, flow rider. And he was trying to find supporters of Ron DeSantis in a diner and came up empty. So we're going to get to that story in just a moment. But I want to get back to Joe Biden celebrating black history month and you know who I did not see. I did not see madea at the at The White House celebration. How do you not have a black history month celebration without madea? I just don't understand that. So California getting ready to celebrate black history month in a big way. So this headline from Fox News Anders hagstrom is the writer, a good Minnesota name. San Francisco is going to is going to figure out how to give reparations to black people. And they have come up with a formula. And here it is. They're going to give $5 million to every black person. Any black person who was a descendant of slaves will receive $5 million apiece. Now, a lot of people have been wondering, how did they come up with this dollar amount? I mean, it's just why not, why not $10 million? Why not $20 million? Well, San Francisco put together something called the African American reparations advisory committee, and I'm assuming this means it's only for black people born in Africa, otherwise it would just be the black Americans reparation advisory committee, but it's not. It's the African American reparations advisory committee. They have unveiled their recommendation. They say the city owed compensation to black residents for decades of discrimination. The committee's chair consultant Eric McDonnell now says the $5 billion came as a result of a journey rather than a mathematical formula. Quote there wasn't a math formula he told The Washington Post. It was a journey for the committee towards what could represent a significant enough investment in families to put them on this path to economic well-being, growth, vitality, that chattel slavery, and all the policies that flowed from it destroyed. Now, a couple of things you need to be aware of about San Francisco. Slavery was never legal in San Francisco. So the question is, what exactly are they giving the $5 billion for? If it wasn't for slavery, what is it? Well, the city says that blacks were victims of racist policies and they were economically harmed. So they want to provide every black resident $5 million. City supervisors say the proposal is unrealistic given the city's budget. Well, that's just racist. I'm just really shocked. I thought San Francisco had a much more progressive city council. How racist of them? While not all of the city's 50,000 black residents would qualify for the full $5 million payment, the expense would nevertheless be untenable. Well, another question here, 50,000 black residents. Why is it that so few black people live in San Francisco is at a racist town? I mean, do they allow black people? Do they have a quota system? How does that work out? San Francisco supervisor, Hillary Ronan. Told the San Francisco Chronicle, I wish we had this kind of money in San Francisco's general fund. But if we want to maintain the services that exist today, we do not. And what services pray tell might those be, while I have to tell you, they spend a couple of $1 million on poop patrols because they allow people to drop their pants and poop in the middle of the streets. They have all the free drugs so you can go and get your drugs and free needle exchanges so you can get so those are the types of services they would have to give up to give all of these folks their $5 million reparation payment..
