Welcome to the Todd Starn Show sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit LegacyPM Investments dot com. That's legacypminvestments. com.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American ride. Ton of stories.

Well, I made it back to Memphis, Tennessee, and we are broadcasting today from our heavily fortified bunker here at the Todd Starns Radio Show Command Center.

So glad to have you with us. And thank you for your patience. As I've been out on the road for the past couple of weeks, meeting so many of our great listeners, meeting so many of our great affiliates all over the nation. And by the way, yesterday, got to meet a number of students at West Coast Baptist College who happen to work for Patriot Mobile. And those kids are running the screening numbers.

So whenever you call Patriot Mobile, West Coast Baptist College kids are the ones answering the telephones. And it was really great to meet so many wonderful young American patriots who have made a concerted decision to stay put in California and try to do something to turn things around in that once great golden state.

Well, we have a lot going on today on the program, a lot of great guests. But just a few moments ago, we were able to have an exclusive conversation with President Trump. And what we're going to do, it's a little bit different. We normally don't do interviews right out of the gate, but the president dropped a lot of bombshells during this interview, and we're going to want to talk about those throughout the rest of the program.

So let's go now to that interview we just wrapped up with the president. I want to go live to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. What an honor to visit once again with our great President, Donald Trump. Mr. President, welcome back to the show.

Well, thank you very much, Todd. And it's been a while, but not that long. And I look forward to talking to you again. You know, Mr. President, a couple you know, was it back in November, you invited me down to Mar-a-Lago.

We had a great conversation for the new book. Got a call two weeks ago from an investigative reporter at Forbes magazine, and they literally asked me, Did President Trump give you Todd Starns? And he classified documents. And I said the President gave me a delicious and refreshing diet coke. He was a very kind and offered great hospitality at Mar-a-Lago.

These people are sick, Dodd. They're sick people. Can you imagine? And it's constant. It's just constant.

and what this country is going through. We're fighting from within and we're fighting from The outside, but the ones from within are more dangerous. You understand? They are just horrible. They're horrible people.

They're terrible, Mr. President. And I get this question a lot. How do you cope with all of this? I'm not sure the average American could put up with all of the crap you get, and part of my language, sir, but the cramp you get from the deep state and the mainstream media and the Democrats.

Well, you know, I get it a lot. Two days ago, a friend of mine, I actually mentioned it last night. I was doing. A friend of yours should be Sean Hannity, I did his show last night. And I think it's going to be on tonight, also.

It's a double. We had it going so good that I think you got two hours out of it. You want to know the truth. But I mentioned that a guy came up, very successful man. Probably you heard of him.

I won't give you his name, but he's a very successful guy. And he asked me, pulled me aside, he said, Could I ask you a question? How do you take it? How do you take what they do? And I said, do I have a choice?

I mean, you know, it'd be wonderful if I had a choice. I don't these people are sick. I really believe they hate our country. There's something wrong when you don't want to have borders, when you don't want to have low gasoline prices and energy prices. We're energy independent and even dominant.

We're getting to be dominant. we would have been more dominant than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined in a short while. But all these different things that we did with the biggest tax cuts and regulation cuts, everything, no inflation. we had it think going so good. And to think that we had it going so good And how can anybody be against a border when you look at what's happening?

You know, you probably heard two days ago, Venezuela. Dumped their prisoners into the United States of America. You saw that they opened up their jail cells. Very bad people. Very bad people, Mr.

President. Yep, that's right. But it's not only Venezuela. In fact, I'm surprised it took them so long. Because frankly, other countries, we have 129 different countries, many of them.

have already done the same thing. They're emptying their prisons into the United States And that's one thing we're going to have to live with at for a long time. A long time, what they're doing is they're poisoning, they're literally poisoning our country. What do you think the end game of all of that is, Mr. President?

Flooding these illegals and letting them invade our country. What's the end game? I don't even think they know. You know, they say, oh, they want the votes. You know, frankly, I'm doing so well with the Hispanic votes, I think they're going to vote something.

But they want the votes. I think, you know, you hear all these sophisticated plans. I don't even think. I think they want to ruin the country. I really do.

I think there's something about it. They want to destroy our country when there is nothing good about that. Let people come in, but they have to come in through a process, they have to come in legally. But it's there's just nothing else you can think of. I mean, who would do that?

They don't need the votes because they cheat so much. They cheat and they get the votes.

So why do they have to do that? Uh it's uh It's a question you get asked, why are they doing that? Who would believe in open borders? Who would believe and defund the police? I mean, you tell me, Tut, who would believe and defund police?

I see where In a couple of places, I won't even mention them because I like the people that are involved in some ways. I mean, they're sort of being shut out. But in a couple of places It's two and a half to four and a half hours call time.

So if you're being raped and you call the police. They'll show up within two point five to four point five hours. you know, it's it's out of control. all Democrat run areas. Mr.

President, we broadcast our show from my hometown, Memphis, Tennessee, and it's a war zone around here. And now we've got a George Soros district attorney. People are just fed up, and they're fed up with the crime and the violence. And moving to the midterms, would you recommend that the Republicans unify around some messages, maybe a contract with the American people?

Well, they're going to announce a contract on Friday. They're going to announce I think it'll be very strong, it's a contract with America. The House is doing it, and I think it's going to be very good. But you know, the contract is common sense, right? We want to have some.

strong borders, we want to have strong military, we want to have energy independence. We we go down the list. I mean, there's so many different things, low taxes, great education. We don't want men playing in women's sports, little simple things like that. And you're not even allowed to say that.

That's very politically incorrect, okay? For you to even have it on the air, I think you'd say, Oh, sir, please don't mention that. You're not even allowed to say men in women's sports. You see would you see the records That are being said in women's sports. They're breaking records at numbers that would have never happened.

It's crazy. It's true. On the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line is our good friend and great American Patriot President Donald Trump. Mr. President, a few days ago, we got word.

I know Fox News has been covering this. We've been talking about it. This 18-year-old kid from North Dakota, a Republican, the guy who mowed him down, accused him of being part of a Republican extremist group. That's the same language that Joe Biden used during that Darth Brandon speech in Philadelphia. Yeah.

No, they say he got a lot of language, a lot of his hatred maybe from that speech. I mean, it was such a terrible speech in so many ways, including delivery. I think delivery was. A big part of it. It was such a Horrible setup with the lights, the red light.

That CNN turned pink. because they didn't like the look. They thought it was too you know what. And it was a terrible thing.

Well, that's the way they are. And that's the true. Democrat. I mean, I never saw Biden that much. He was never an outstanding person.

I never saw Biden like He's turned out to be he's turned out to be far worse than Bernie Sanders. Actually, Bernie Sanders cannot believe what's happening.

Somebody told me the other day. that Bernie Sanders isn't believing this whole thing. Yesterday, he spoke at the United Nations by All he wanted to talk about was climate change.

Now the big climate change, the thing that's going to change the climate's a nuclear weapon if we're not careful. And we're going to end up in World War Three if we're not careful. He talked about that for about two seconds. And then he goes on about climate change as the biggest threat. and the whole place is rolling its eyes.

It's crazy what's happening. I want you to weigh in on this. Letitia James, this is a crazy story here. I want to get to the lawsuit in a moment, but she said she wanted you out of New York City.

Now, I lived in New York for 15 years when I was at Fox News, and I'm not sure the average American understands the impact that your company has had in that city and the great things you did, from the buildings to the ice skating rink. What sort of a impact is that going to have, Mr. President, if they force all of your business out of New York City?

Well, I don't I think it's look, this is a racist Attorney General. She is no good. Uh she's a whack job. I never thought she was bringing the case because they don't have a case. In fact, if you look at the reviews, the Wall Street Journal today has an editorial, the most ridiculous thing on values.

And I think the values are low in many cases. Actually, they're very low in many cases. And you'll see that. But this is a terrible person who campaigned during I'll Get Trump, I'll get Trump. She campaigned on it.

She's got nothing. She couldn't even answer questions necessarily when they were asking her questions. She's dumb as a rock. And she's angry. She's an angry person.

And uh he He's being killed by this thing. That's really pretty amazing, actually. I wasn't sure if that was going to happen or not. But she's uh She's angry, vicious and dumb. That's a very bad combination.

Mr. President, we don't have a lot of time. And I do want to get to I want to get back to this raid. I I heard some rumblings that I mean, you guys are still trying to figure out what all the FBI took. And I understood I was I heard somewhere that maybe they met they might have taken your will.

I think they took my will. I'm trying to find it.

Now, the bad part about that is if I left somebody a little bit too little, they're going to be reading about it. And I'll have somebody with a long face in front of me, right? But now my will is not there. That's never good. That's never good.

Somebody's got my will.

So anyway, but it's I I think it's it's disgraceful what they did. And you know My poll numbers are the highest they've ever been right now because of all this stuff and because of the job we did for four years, in all fairness. People are. Longing for it. like the book, Journey Together, the book sold so well because people They're almost romanticizing about what it was, even with all the witch huts and everything else.

Practically no president has done what we did with everything with the biggest tax cuts and the biggest everything. Rebuild I rebuilt our military. Then we gave eighty five billion of it to the Taliban. Can you believe that? Eighty five billion.

And I think the lowest point in the history of our country, personally, I think that was the lowest point. The wall is horrible, you know, coming through. We had we built the wall, we completed the wall, and then I said, let's build some more. We were building two hundred miles more, could have had it done in a period of three weeks. And they decided not to do it.

And that That was like the first signal. I said, no way. And they said, yep, they decided not to do it. And uh So there's something there's something they're doing, Todd, but They're very uh They're very ill people. They really are.

You're right. I saw a meme the other day, Mr. President, that they were actually, it was a live cam shot of Martha's Vineyard, and I think they were actually building the wall around Martha's Vineyard. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's a great, that's great.

I think that's great.

So, anyway, well, the wall worked. And the first border in history, you know that. And we had the lowest number of drugs coming in, the least amount of drugs coming in in fifty years. We had a lot of things that because of the wall, because of all the wall we built, And we had the lowest number of that. We had human trafficking down to a much lower number.

Now it's gone through the roof. Human trafficking now is through the roof. I mean, it's never been anywhere near what's happened now. It's very sad. Mr.

President, we have 60 seconds, and I've got to talk about this awesome rally coming up in North Carolina this weekend. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Well, it's going to be, and we're there honoring Ted Budd, as you know, who's fantastic. And your Lieutenant Governor Mark Robertson, I hope you love him. Because he's a fantastic guy. He's great. And Ted, you know, is now.

bleeding substantially. He's a very, very popular guy. and a great guy. And I think he's going to have a tremendous, really a tremendous victory. And I hope you're going to be there.

It's going to be a great weekend in North Carolina. And, Mr. President, there are people all over this country. Our audience, border-to-border, coast to coast, they are Trump fans. And we appreciate you taking time, Mr.

President. And I'm your fan, and thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I'll see you soon.

Okay. All right, Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. There you go. What a great interview.

We covered a lot of ground there in a short amount of time. And the president breaking the big news tomorrow, the House Republicans are going to be announcing a contract with America. And the president also weighing in on this horrible murder. And we're going to get to that later on this hour. This horrible murder, really, an assassination of an 18-year-old Republican who was accused of being a member of an extremist Republican Party.

What's going on? What happened over there? Good lord!

Well, basically, just some woman called in and she was very nice at first, but then. She was mad that I was call screening her and doing my job. Wait, what? Which made no sense at all. What did she say?

She said.

Well, how dare you question I'm a Trump supporter? Because she wanted to talk about Trump. And I was like, Because I just said, Hey, what do you want to tell Todd about Trump? And she's like, Well, what do you think? I'm like, Lady, you're supposed to tell me what you think.

And she said, Said, how dare you question on a Trump supporter? You guys are not true constitutionalists. I said, lady, I'm just doing my job. Wow. All right.

She was like yelling at me. And I was like, as she's yelling, I start yelling and I just hung up on her. I've never heard you yell. That's what shocked me. My heart is racing.

I didn't know what was going on over there. Yeah. No. All right. Yeah.

Well, look, if you plan on coming on this program, we need to know what you're talking about.

So don't take it personally if Grace asks you, what do you want to tell Todd? Exactly. Otherwise, we'll get some Yahoo talking about Lord knows what. Exactly. By the way, what was it like?

I know you picked up the phone. You handled Trump when he called into the studio today. He was so nice. You know, he just, he literally answered the phone like a normal person. He was like, hello, how are you?

And I was like, I'm doing very well. How are you?

So it wasn't one of these where it's a secretary. No, no. And then the secretary puts you in touch with the chief of staff. No way. You know, police hold for the president.

He just makes his own calls. Which is crazy to me in a good way. And, you know, he's like, is Todd there? I was like, of course, Mr. President.

And put him on for me. I love it. You know, the left gets right. Yeah, I think it's a very good idea.

Well, I would call any former president Mr. President. Really? I don't call Obama that. I say a few other times.

If I talked to him, like, in person, like, if I saw him, I'd be like, Mr. President. All right. Well, good for you.

Sorry. That's just the way I was raised up.

Well, last time he called in, we had the intern, and he didn't, he thought he was being prank called. Yeah. Because, again, he's a very casual guy. It was weird. It's like, oh, it's Donald.

It's like, oh, well, hello, Mr. President. By the way, folks, we've got on our, thank you, Grace Baker, we've got on our website, we have some video of Biden yesterday. Have you seen this video?

So he finished his remarks, and then he just starts literally wandering around the stage, not knowing what to do. The other person who was on the stage was trying to corral the president back to where he was supposed to be, and the president just looked befuddled. I've never seen anything like that. But I can tell you this: Donald Trump, he would never do anything like that. No, Donald Trump knows where he is and he knows what he's doing.

The cheese has not slid off his cracker. All right, look, we've got to take a break. When we come back, I want to talk about this North Dakota situation. Do you believe President Biden and the Democrats have blood on their hands? 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. ToddSterns.com is the website. We'll be right back, America. There's no doubt the nation is facing a financial crisis because of the Biden administration's economic policies.

Hi, this is Todd Stearns, and no doubt our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself.

Mm-hmm. Now from Washington, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. by fellow Republicans. Recent polling in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania are showing significant tightening in favor of the Republican candidates. Frankly, I'd like you to consider setting this one out.

Sure, I'd like to win back the Senate. but only with the team who understands that the Senate is a place for hot MAGA Republican legislation from the House, to have time to cool. Whither and and die. Trump inspired candidates like Herschel Walker, Blake Masters. even Doctor Oz.

Have no place in the Senate, of sensible republicans. willing to meet Democrats half way.

So don't get caught up in Trump's plan to remake the Senate. and stay home on election day. And just let the Senators. Run the Senate. Thank you.

This message brought to you by Senator Mitch McConnell and in ContinentsAnonymous.org. Oh, I hear that's a growing group, by the way, in continentsanonymous.org. Interesting. Thank you. That information coming to us exclusively, by the way, from our White House correspondent and Capitol Hill correspondent, Paul Shankla.

Welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Program.

So honored to have you with us today. I want to get to this story out of North Dakota, and we've got the report up on our website, ToddSterns.com, and you can see the very latest information. But as we know the details, a man by the name of Shannon Brandt, age 41, was Was released on bond yesterday, $50,000 bond, after this guy admitted that he mowed down with his vehicle an 18-year-old boy. The 18-year-old named Kayler Ellingson. Kayler was accused of being a Republican extremist.

And because of that, The suspect, Shannon Brandt, used his vehicle as a weapon. He is charged with vehicular homicide leaving the scene of an accident. Uh And he told the judge that this judge, it's overwhelming to me that this guy was let out of jail. Again, this bail reform. Mm-hmm.

If you actually admit, and here's my take on it, it's not as if the guy says, Oh, I didn't do it, and we're going to sort all of this out. The guy actually admitted doing the crime. And the judge says, okay, you're not a flight risk.

Okay, but the guy does still have the ability to drink alcohol and drive a car. And by the way, this is a convicted DUIer. Yes, I know that's not a real word, but I just he he is. I mean, he's a convicted DUIer. The guy told the judge, I have a job, a life, a house, things that I don't exactly want to see go by the wayside.

Well, you should have thought about that, sir, before you ran over a Republican teenager. Brant was arrested Sunday morning after telling first responders that he hit the team because he was being threatened. There is no evidence of that. We understand that there was some sort of a street dance, which is where all of this went down. That's according to the North Dakota Highway Patrol.

Ellingson was rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries, where he later died. Ellingson's parents. Say that they believed their son was being chased. When he was um When he was run over. By the way, apparently this guy was also, this brand guy was also charged with DUI, so the guy was drinking.

Yeah. But it reminded me, Caleb Parker, managing editor, reminded me. He said, I sent them the story, our team on the website. He said, Hey, Todd, remember just a couple of weeks ago, it was. Darth Brandon standing before the blood red lights, and we talked about this with Trump.

You had Darth Brandon in Philadelphia, Independence Hall, bathed in blood red. You had the Marines on either side of the President, the ominous music, and you have Biden out there warning of Republican extremism.

So that's where we've heard that phrase before. And as President Trump said, it sure sounds like the killer in North Dakota was using Biden's language when he committed the crime.

Now, what is it the left always tells us, ladies and gentlemen? They're the ones saying the Republicans are threatening civil war when, in fact, they're the only people talking about civil war. They're out there saying, well, Republicans are going to engage in violence in the streets when, in fact, it's the Democrats and their cronies that are out there killing people.

So again, when the Democrats accuse you of something, it's projecting because that means they're guilty of whatever they're accusing you of. But I contend that Joe Biden and by the way, yesterday, so this story has been out in the news cycle for a day and a half now. And Joe Biden yesterday, in spite of all of this, instead of backing away and saying, you know what, I shouldn't have been using that kind of language. I shouldn't be using that sort of violent rhetoric. Remember, it was a Bernie Sanders supporter who tried to kill many of our friends on the House Freedom Caucus during the Republican softball practice.

Remember that. And Joe Biden could have used this as an opportunity to cool things down. But he didn't do that. He doubled down again and called out mega Republican extremists.

Okay. And that tells me that Biden wants more of this to happen.

So Joe Biden wants more of his people to go out there and hunt down Republicans and do harm to them. And I have absolutely no problem. Saying that I believe Joe Biden has the blood of that 18-year-old boy. on his hands. What say you, ladies and gentlemen?

Eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. That's our toll free telephone number. That's eight four four seven four seven eighty eight sixty eight. It's a terrible thing that happened. Just a terrible thing.

And the sad thing is, it's going to keep happening. And we saw this during the 2016 presidential election cycle when so many Republicans It didn't matter. You had grandmas, grandpas, you had little kids, women, children, they were going after everybody. If you were a Trump supporter, you had a great big target on your back. And you still do, by the way.

All right, what's going on here at Vanderbilt University? Have you heard this crazy story? Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

So, for the record, there is Vanderbilt University, and then there's Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Two separate entities. All right, so we're not talking about the university, we're talking about the university hospital or medical center. And they actually have a transgender Pediatric wing. In other words, Vanderbilt University is making tons of cash by mutilating children.

By castrating children. And this has been going on for a very long time. As a matter of fact, some videos surfaced, and Matt Walsh over at Daily Wire was responsible for the scoop here. And they were actually telling Vanderbilt's hospital staff, they were telling people, hey, this is a moneymaker. It's a cash cow.

taking off the little kids' private parts, doing little, what is it, double mastectomies on 12, 13-year-old girls. They're making tons of cash. And they also had a warning for people who happened to might object to that based on religious, they have some religious issues with that. And they said, well, if you object on religious grounds, you need to find another job. If you were going to assert conscientious objection.

You have to realize that that is problematic. You are doing something to another person. and you are not paying the cost for your belief. I think that is. Unreal.

I mean, I think that's a real issue.

Okay, so um So I think You know, so you're so yes, Vanderbilt. If someone has a contrast objection to participating in this sort of surgery, it would probably have to accommodate you to the extent that they can find another person who can do your job, who doesn't have an objection, other things of that nature. But I just want you to take home that saying that you're not going to do something because of your conscientious, because of your religious beliefs, is not without consequences. And it should not be without consequences. And I just Want to put that out there.

We are given enormous If you don't want to do this kind of work, don't work at Vanderbilt. May I just say And I will paint with a broad brush here. I don't care if you're a nurse. or a doctor Or the person that has to wrap up the discarded private parts in like paper and throw it in the garbage dumpster in the back of the hospital. I don't care who you are there on staff at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

But if you have any role, no matter how large or how small, in mutilating a child. Then you deserve To spend the rest of your life burning in the lake of fire. You are a savage monster. and you deserve to spend the rest of your human life locked up in a cell. This is shameful, and this is beyond horrifying.

And I will say this: it would behoove you, yes, I said behoove, it would behoove you to reach out to your local hospital to find out if they too are engaged in this sickening, sickening abuse. Mutilating children.

Something tells me that this is not the only hospital where this is going on. Keep in mind, that audio you just heard, that was from twenty eighteen.

So this has been going on for a very long time. And if you're a mother or a father and you would dare to let your child be mutilated like that, You deserve to have your children taken away from you. Uh Something's not right with you, Mom and Dad. But this is sickening behavior right here. And you have to wonder what future generations are going to say when they look back to this time in American history when you have children and they don't know what they're doing.

They don't know what they're thinking. They're kids. Yeah. You've got adults that are going through this stuff and then realizing, oh wow, I made a mistake and I hate to break it to you, but when you chop it off, you can't put it back on. And here we have doctors, medical professionals.

And they are intentionally going out of their way to mutilate children in the name of the LGBTQIA God. It's like the God of child sacrifice for the LGBT community. It's despicable. All right, we got to t and by the way, a lot of the LGs and the Bs are very upset about the Ts and all of this. 844-747-8868.

That's our toll-free telephone number. We got the governor of Tennessee, by the way, who says, you gotta we gotta investigate yes, you've got to investigate it, governor. And if Vanderbilt University Medical Center gets any federal funding, that needs to be immediately taken away. And they need to start going after the medical licenses of all these doctors that are mutilating these kids. 844-747-8868.

That is a toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. I told you earlier about our friends at Patriot Mobile, and they're hiring a lot of conservative Christian college kids to work their phone banks. And we really appreciate that about Patriot Mobile. They're always going the extra mile to stand with conservatives.

All right, welcome back to the Tom Turns Radio Show. And I will say this. About Vanderbilt, and we're gonna stay on top of this story for you. Senator Marshall Blackburn, who actually is from Tennessee, the volunteer state. and is from the Nashville area, putting out this statement, We are shocked by what we've seen in the videos.

We would hope Vanderbilt would make better decisions. There is nothing healthy about mutilating the bodies of minor children. It's just monstrous. And so she's calling for an investigation as well. And there needs to be.

Quite frankly, they ought to just shut down the hospital until they can get a handle on this. But it's pretty despicable. And again, just think about this for a moment. If you are under the age of 18 right now, you have to get a permission slip to get a tattoo. Yeah.

You want to go get your nose pierced? You know what? You've got to get parental consent for that. If you go to the store and you're under the age of 18 and you want to buy booze, guess what's going to happen? They're going to throw your butt out of the store.

Want to get a packet of cigarettes? No, they're not going to let you do that. And the reason why is because you're a kid, you're a child. You don't need that kind of stuff.

So why would we not demand, ladies and gentlemen, the same sort of parental involvement in things like, and let's just go down the list here, these China virus vaccines. Remember that story? They were giving the kids the vaccines in the school without mommy and daddy knowing about it? Or what about abortions? where you've got public schools that are counseling kids to have abortions without mommy and daddy knowing about it, taking the kids down to the abortion abortion mill to get an abortion without telling mommy and daddy about it.

And now they're wanting to mutilate. Kids And it just seems to me, and I know I'm old fashioned, but it seems to me, if little Johnny wants to become Johnny, then mommy and daddy should Should at least be alerted that the local hospital is about to castrate their kid. It just that just seems to be the right thing to do.

So Grace Baker It's been a long couple of weeks. On the road, we've been all over the place. Yes, you have. Flying back, and they feed you on the airplanes up in the first-class area. Yeah, we get the peanuts in the economy.

And I was up there. Oh, they do more than peanuts now. Yeah, you got the little. Those little cookies. Oh, those are delicious.

Those are good. Only on an airplane. Don't know why. But anyway. The only thing they had for lunch was something called an impossible burger.

No. Yeah. Really? Yeah. You didn't have any other options.

There were no other options. And so, well, no, there was something involving chickpeas. And I said, Yeah, that's a big no.

So I said, You know what? I'm going to try this thing. I've heard about it on the TV. And so they bring it to me, and it didn't smell bad, but my nose was stopped up.

So there was that.

So I take a bite of the Impossible Burger, and I realized it took me about a Just a half a second to realize it was going to be impossible to eat. Oh, no. It tasted like, I don't know, dirt, earth. I don't know what it was just disgusting. Very earthy.

Thank you. Ugh, yeah. And I think that was the beet juice. It was not well done. I'm like, wait, what?

It's like a little pink in the middle. That's beet juice on the bottom. I'm like, what is this blood pool? Not medium rare. What is this blood pooling here?

What the heck? And it was beet juice. It was disgusting. I'm sorry. Were they served with it aside?

Anything? Yeah, some sort of like a salad or something. I don't know. It was weird. Did they give you fries?

No, no fries. Those are vegetarian. It was terrible.

So I landed at Memphis International and I made a beeline for the first Chick-fil-A. I don't blame you. I said, just load me up. Throw in the waffle fries. More chicken.

That's it. All right, folks. Hour two coming up next. This is the Todd Starge Radio Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starnes.

That's right. I love this American. And hello, America. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

So glad to have you with us today. Great to be back in Memphis, Tennessee as well. We have been on the road. Two times in Atlanta, out in Los Angeles, and busy, busy times as we head into the midterm elections. Write down our telephone number.

You will need this if you want to call in today, 844-747-8868. Again, that's our toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. I want to go right now to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line from the 3rd Congressional District in Florida. Our good friend Congresswoman Kat Kamack.

Kat, it's been a while. Hope you're doing well. Hello, Cat. All right, we're going to put Kat on hold. We apparently have some sort of a phone difficulty, but when we do reestablish our connection with the Congresswoman, we're going to ask her about this contract for America that's coming out.

And Republicans are very excited about this. The official announcement coming out tomorrow, that's what President Trump just said in the last hour of the program. I believe we've got Kat back with us. Kat, hope you're doing well today. I'm doing great, Todd.

How are you doing? I'm doing well. And I have to say, before we get to this contract with America that's going to be announced tomorrow, may I just say how pleased I am with Governor Ron DeSantis and the brilliant moves he's been making lately. It's always a source of pride to be able to talk about America's governor, my governor. Ron DeSantis.

And actually, I'm just leaving a meeting with our awesome Lieutenant Governor, Jeanette Nunez. She's just a a total firebrand herself and Um we've got quite A pool of talent in Florida. It's pretty awesome.

Well, it's I mean, Florida is leading the way. They're showing the rest of the nation how it should be done. If we had more governors that were following the lead of Governor DeSantis, I think we would be a lot better off as a nation right now. Absolutely. I mean, I think if anything, Governor DeSantis has showed uh governors around the country.

what it means to truly have the backs of the people that you serve. And when the federal government failed to secure the border, when they had these arbitrary unconstitutional lockdowns and mandates. Governor DeSantis said that he was going to step up where the federal government had failed. And to me, that's leadership.

So I'm exceptionally proud of the work that He has been doing. You could probably hear the wind. I'm sorry about that. I'm walking up the steps of the Capitol to go vote and take on Nancy Pelosi. uh anti-police bill.

So my apologies. Oh, you're doing just fine. Let me jump in here because, again, I guess Martha's Vineyard, I've never been there. And honestly, the way Democrats are describing it is such a god-awful, you know, inhumane place. There's no way I'd ever want to go visit there.

But the reality is, these people wanted to, and I just loved it when DeSantis hauled out the permission slips or whatever and said, well, look, here's everybody's signature. We didn't do anything wrong. Yeah. Well, and that's exactly it. This whole notion that they were lied to or they weren't told where they were going gives me a break.

the governor has the receipt. And the other part of that is That Who would not want to go to Martha's Vineyards? It's just ridiculous to assume that there was some nefarious action involved. And Hold on one second. I got to go vote.

Oh, no. Wow. We're watching this in live real time on the radio. This is fascinating. What are we voting on?

So we just voted against the rule. Where Pelosi was streamlined.

Sorry. Just ran up the steps of the Capitol from Brasc now. But we'll just vote it against the rule. Just say that Nancy Celosi Cannot bring this package to the floor because What the rule says is that they're suspending the normal process. which allows them to bring this garbage to the house floor with no notice.

No one reads the book. There's Total violation. of constitutional authority. And that's why I'm voting no on the rule. And later today, they want us.

the vote on a package that underlines police departments around the country. They're framing it as support for police, but we all know that their attempt to quote unquote fund police. means that they want the the type of restrictions that tie the hands of our police officers behind their backs. It's just unacceptable. And we have seen this time and time again, where the Democrats come into power and they immediately target the police department, defunding police departments all over America, really tying the hands of law enforcement to be able to do their jobs to protect all of us and our families.

And then they scream bloody murder when the crime rates are off the charts. And you can't go down to the local gas station or the grocery store without getting carjacked. And that is literally life in Memphis, Tennessee, where I live right now, because of the policies that you're fighting against.

Well, and that's exactly it. You know, I just ran into the Capitol. My husband surprised me and flew up. yesterday evening, and he's a SWAT medic. And when he was seeing the the bill today, he just Shook his head and said, Crime around the country is out of control.

I go to some of the worst. situation as you can imagine. Things that the veterans who have been on the force for 20, 25 years have never seen. And their answer is to again Hide their hands behind their backs, focusing on social equity and talking about diversity and checking boxes. Let's let our police officers do what they do best.

They know what's best for the communities. They know how to uphold law and order. Let's let them do that. And we have to get out of this notion. That some government bureaucrat knows better than our local police chief or our local sheriff.

Exactly. Our constitutional officers know what's up.

Some member up here who was a PhD doesn't. Cat, real quick, I got to get your comments. I know you shared this on social media. President Trump was on in the first hour talking about this commitment, this Republican commitment to America. I think this is a brilliant thing, unifying around some key principles as we move into the midterms.

Absolutely. I mean, and as part of the commitment to America, We are hiring two. 200,000 police officers around the country. We are going to actually do the right thing and support our law enforcement and their families. And the great thing about the commitment to America.

Is that it is driven from the constituents themselves all the way up through their representatives? Every member of Congress has had a seat at the table in crafting this agenda. There have been task forces that have been working tirelessly. And when you think about how we've been able to distill the four kitchen table items down to a single page where anyone in the country can say, yeah, I know what the Republicans are doing. They're fighting for Americans, not for a party, but for Americans.

And they're going to get the economy back on track. They're going to fight for a nation that's free and hold up our constitutional values. They are going to actually support. Safety and security, secure the border, support law enforcement, and we're going to hold Washington accountable. That's something that anybody can get behind.

It's brilliant. I love it, and I think that the American people are going to be thrilled knowing that the people that they elected as their voice in the nation's capital are doing exactly what they said they were going to do. All right, Kat, we're going to let you head to the locker room there and get some Gatorade.

Sounds like you've had a busy day already. I've been running all over, man. And I guess I need to go work out because, man, hustling up those steps like that, that killed me. No, they're like, what, 3,000 steps? No, I'm just very impressed that you were still able to talk with us.

That was pretty impressive. All right, Kamek from the 3rd Congressional District. Thanks a lot, Kat. God bless. I appreciate you, Todd.

Thank you so much. All right. My goodness. You know, I just love people like Kat Kamick because, again, she was live on the radio. She's voting up on Capitol Hill.

And, you know, Grace, a lot of these guys would say, I can't do it. I, you know, we got to vote.

Something came up, but not Kat Kamick. No, man. She just rolled with the punches. I appreciate that. I thought she was running a 5K.

I was like, where is she going? Is she running away from somebody? Yeah. It's Jerry Nadler, but Jerry can't chase people.

So it wasn't Jerry Nadler. Maybe Swalwell. I'll say, I was just in D.C. a couple weeks ago, and there is, I mean, you park down there and you just walk, right? It's a lot of steps.

And I've seen, I mean, it'll keep you in shape. She's in good shape, and here's what I want to remind people of: what they just heard.

So they say on January the 6th that all the Trump supporters stormed the cat. There's no way because we all know that Trump supporters are a little, how shall I say this? Their girth is great. They're not eating the impossible burgers. They're not eating the regular burgers.

Double burgers. Double burgers. There's no way anybody could have stormed up those steps with the Trump side. And I say that, you know, we don't want to share that with the entire nation. It's just between us.

But you guys know. It's like, you know, Walmart. Whenever the left, they like to make fun of the Walmart people after midnight. They can't do that. But we can because those are our peoples, right?

And we. We all know that really there's some crazy stuff going down at the Walmart after midnight. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. All right.

We got to take a break here. 844-747-8868. That's 844-747. Oh, before I do that, Grace, we got a letter. We got a letter in the mail, and it's handwritten and cursive.

And it's from our friend Bill in Jefferson, Georgia. And Bill, I will refresh your memory, Grace. I know you screen a lot of calls. Bill took us to task because I used a phrase considerably back in the day saying, I want to be honest with you. Can we be honest for just a second?

Let me be honest with you. Can I be honest? I guess. Bill called in, and Bill was very upset about this. And he took me to task.

He says, Todd, that implies that you're not being honest with us. I'll be honest. See, I use that phrase a lot. On an off air. Anyway, he wrote me a lovely letter about something else, and uh, but he's a military veteran, and uh, and he offered some solutions, some ideas on how we can do a better job of taking care of the um of the military.

That was a conversation we had uh earlier this week. But anyway, he says, He offered a PS, and I'll read this before we go to break here. P.S., Dodd, you are doing very well on not making the statement, I want to be honest with you. Yay! He highlighted in yellow, so I would understand that.

I rarely hear it now, and I can feel you wince each time you do it. Signed Bill, one of our listeners from WDUN. Very nice. We try. You know, I get the letters from every now and again, I get the letters from the English teachers as well, grammar police.

Listen, he's writing in cursive, so. He gets extra points. Brownie points. All right. 844-747-8868.

Our website, by the way, is ToddSterns.com. And before we go to break, it would be a great opportunity for you to head over there and download our free podcast. Folks, I will tell you, we had a record month last month, well over a million people downloading the podcast. We are ahead of where we were last year or last month at this time.

So, again, so many people are signing up for the newsletter, the podcast, free of charge at ToddSterns.com. We'll be right back. All right, I think it is a brilliant strategy, and I'm glad you know, we've been talking about it for a long time, and I've told you that we've got a lot of people up on Capitol Hill that are listening to this program. And many of you have been calling in, saying, Todd, we've got to have an agenda, we've got to unify the Republicans. It doesn't matter if you're running for city council or dog catcher, it doesn't matter if you're running for Congress.

We've got to have a unified message going into the midterm elections. And that's what Kevin McCarthy is planning to announce on Friday. That word coming out from President Trump in the first hour of the program. And it's really going to mirror what Newt Gingrich did 28 years ago with the famous contract with America. And one of the key components here is crime.

It's public safety. What do you think the Republicans need to be unifying around? What is it? What is the winning formula? What is the secret sauce that Republicans need to win in the midterms?

844-747-8868. That's our phone number. That's 844-747-8868. Let's go to Georgia. Gwen on the line, W-D-U-N, our great affiliate there.

Gwen, what's on your mind?

Well, I just had two comments on the discussion so far, and I just needed to say that That it's long overdue for us to have a repeated contract with Americans. And the other thing I wanted to mention was that Um We seem to be Just buried in a fictitious fairy land. of equity and Garlic. Are the police? We were given materials from the government, and then now they've been confiscated.

What happened to all those additional? Um Areas of equipment that was supplied to local and Urban police. Units and now they're gone. Where are they?

Well, that's a good question, Gwen. We certainly have to hope they're not out on the streets.

Well I would love to know where they are and why the police department have them no longer. Gwen, great question. We'll try to find out the answer for you, and we appreciate you calling in.

Now, I want to say this about the contract, and it's very exciting what they want to do, but we don't have these specifics. And what slightly concerns me is that most of the conservatives don't have the specifics either. As a matter of fact, Even though the House Freedom Caucus was invited to participate in some of the private meetings, all of the efforts are being led by Kevin McCarthy allies. And Kevin McCarthy is not exactly a rip roaring House Freedom Caucus member.

So there is still some wiggle room for the Republicans to screw this up, but I have to hope that the Freedom Caucus members. Are going to speak out here, and hopefully, they're going to have some influence in whatever McCarthy puts out there. According to Politico, this is from their report, whether leadership's conversations with conservatives who join those agenda shaping task force translate into their approval of the final product remains to be seen. Yeah. Months ago, some Freedom Caucus members suggested that if they didn't like McCarthy's blueprint for a GOP majority, they may opt to craft their own.

So we will see. There's again, the entire platform is going to be rolled out tomorrow. You heard one idea from Kat Kamick, who said they're going to call for the hiring of 200,000 more police officers for our streets. And that's a great thing. But we don't have all of the details just yet.

But a contract with America, I love it. I love the idea. Let's just wait and see what McCarthy is going to do here and what the final product is actually going to look like because right now we don't know. 844-747-8868, what would you like to see in this contract, this Republican commitment to America? 844-747-8868.

That's 844-747-8868. Coming up a little bit later, our good friend Congressman Troy Nels from Texas is going to drop by, and we're going to get some insight into him on all of this. Also, Dr. Michael Youssef has a brand new book out. He'll be here.

Coming up next, our friend. Charles Thorngren. He is the CEO of Legacy Precious Metals, and he's got some concerns about the economy. We'll get to that as well. Plus, your calls.

This is the Todd Starring Show. All right, folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns radio program. And man, we're adding affiliates just about every week around here, and we'll have some exciting news coming up for you folks in Jackson, Mississippi, in just a little while.

So hang tight there. ToddStarns.com is our landing page. That's everything you want to know about us and our great team. You will be able to find it there at ToddStarnes.com.

Well, folks, when you look at the polling data, There is a lot of great concern about the economy right now. The good news is those same polls seem to indicate that voters trust Republicans more so than Democrats to address these economic problems. Just a brief glimpse of the headlines at Fox Business. Mortgage rates reached the highest level since 2007, a year before the housing market crash. More Americans filing for unemployment after jobless claims fell for five straight weeks.

The economy tops list of independent voters' concerns.

Well, I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line, and we're honored to have with us a great partner here of the program, our friend Charles Thorngren, one of the smartest guys I know when it comes to the economy. He is the chief executive officer of Legacy Precious Metals. Charles, good to have you with us today. It's great to be here. That's quite a big build up there, Todd, but glad to be here.

Oh, well, look, yeah, I wish it could be even larger, Charles, but we're time-sensitive in radio. But you really have been so helpful for a lot of our listeners in maneuvering through this landmine of an economy right now. And I'm curious to get your take. What are the biggest concerns you have right now? Great question.

The big concerns, I mean, obviously, inflation, the coming recession, we know there will be a recession. There always is after a period like this. But more importantly is the lack of active measures by the Fed to control what's happening. That's my biggest concern. And I know everyone's saying, well, we're raising rates.

Isn't that enough? It's really not. We've had them come out and say expect this recession to last a longer period of time. We're going to have elevated Fed rates for quite some time.

So that's going to make everything elevated. We talked about those home mortgages and just over six point three percent for a home loan now. That number is going to get bigger too, and it's going to stay longer.

So, this is the concern I have. And I like to throw the best example that we have. The last time we had inflation close to this. was in the 70s. Into the 80s.

And Paul Volcker was the Fed chair then, and he did something amazing. He crushed it quickly. But that required the Fed rate's going up to 20%.

So us sitting here. You know, playing around around the 4%, it's not managing the problem. Yeah. And Charles, you know, the debate's been raging. You know, is, you know, are we in a recession?

The Biden administration says we're not. Everyone else says, well, that's not exactly the case. Everybody is hurting. And Charles, I just got back from several days in California. People over there, they can't make ends meet anymore.

They're making the same salary. They're buying the same foods. They've got the same bills. They just can't make ends meet. It's what we hear, everyone who's calling in.

It's the same concern. I mean, when you look at it and say, okay, we have inflation now at eight point three percent, if you do the math, that's the equivalent of losing a paycheck. One month's paycheck. Gone. Nothing else changes, but you have one month's less money to spend.

That's hard to do. Let's talk about protection because I think everybody is in a protection mode right now. They're hunkering down. You've got a lot of people that are very concerned because they've got all their money invested in the stock market. Legacy Precious Metals offers a lot of protection, and I want you to explain why it's so important for people to diversify and jump into the precious metals.

Great question. And here's why it's so important. As a company, we preach diversity, right? You shouldn't be all into one thing. The problem is the diversity that's out there now is at risk.

Equities are at risk, bonds are at risk, real estate's at risk. Precious metals are your one safe haven that will perform over the next few years.

So, when we look at that and say, how does it work? Really, by owning precious metals, you're saying. I need protection from the dollar. I need to protect my purchasing power. And really, that's what we're looking to do.

We know equities will further fall. Depending on who you listen to, another twenty-five percent, some people saying as much as forty percent decline in the whole equities market. That's hard to overcome for an individual. You know, time is important, and you can't lose these next seven to ten years for that to turn around. And regain a break-even status.

So, what we say is, Buy the medals. Get protected and don't ride that equities market down. There's no need to. There's a better way. And one of the things that I love about you guys at Legacy is that there's a process, and it's not like people are hounding you to buy something.

So, you guys don't do the high pressure stuff, and I really appreciate that. But it's really about educating people first, explaining here's how you can do that, here's why you need to protect your retirement, and here's how gold and silver can help you through that process. Absolutely. Our thought is this, and this is the way this company was born and how we operate. We offer you the medals for the financial protection.

But we educate you.

So, that you have protection of your mind. You remove that fear and understand why you're doing what you're doing, how it's going to work for you, and it takes away that uneasiness that you have. And that's a great thing because you need to be financially protected, but it's also good to feel good about your own retirement accounts and your investments.

Now, when I started out, I didn't understand. I just thought we were talking, you know, again, coins. And I've been investing in gold and silver for a long time now. But you guys offer things like gold IRAs, silver IRAs. What are some of the things?

Talk about those for a moment. Absolutely. Most people's biggest accumulation of wealth is in their retirement account. We've been told for years and years, save for your retirement, save for your retirement. Most of the options out there revolve around equities.

Well, if we know we're coming up to a point where you're going to lose even more value, it makes sense to say, how do I protect probably one of the most important investments I have? This retirement account is what's going to get me through the rest of my life after I quit working. When I'd say, I'm no longer drawing an income, this is how I live. We all want a quality of life.

So that's why we do the retirement account. The great news is: we can use those funds, we can get you transferred over to an IRA that allows precious metals to be held.

So you get the safety of metals in probably one of your most important accounts, your IRA account, your retirement account. I think it's a brilliant strategy, and people need to be doing this right now. And folks, I want to encourage you to go to their website, legacypminvestments.com. That's legacypminvestments.com. And you can get a free gold guide.

They are so helpful, and it really is about an educational process here. And you can start by getting your free gold guide. You can also give them a call, 866-473-6204. That's 866-473-6204. And by the way, all of this information is on the website, so legacypminvestments.com for you to get all of the information and start taking those steps to protect your retirement accounts.

And it doesn't matter if you're 33 or 63, you need to be doing that right now. Charles, we're going to have to leave it there. Always good hearing from you and always great advice. We're going to have you back on very soon. And maybe next time we can take some calls from our listeners.

I'm sure they're going to have lots of questions about you. Yeah. That'd be great. I'd love to do it. All right.

The great Charles Thorngren, ladies and gentlemen. And Charles, we'll get theme music for you next time, like Rocky or something. I don't know. We'll figure it out. Charles Thorngren, the CEO of Legacy Precious Metals, Legacy PM Investments.com.

Thanks a lot, Charles. And folks, we'll be right back. Hey folks, welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Let's go to the phones, 844-747-8868. Anna in Georgia, WDUN, wants to weigh in on that contract with America.

Hey, Anna, what's going on? Hey Todd, I'm wondering maybe if you're not sure if If it would be not a prudent thing. or if it would be a prudent thing for the Republicans Only and a Democrat. to consult with Newt Gingrich. Uh he was the original author of that, he and Bill Quinton.

And um of course Bill has changed his tune a lot in the last Several uh hundred years. It's been a long time. But um but you know I was was thinking probably a great idea. Yes. to to probably um arch to them about how they drafted that together.

I don't know. I'm just tired. Yeah. I'm just tired of this. walking and back and forth and You know, it's it really is taking a toll on a lot of people and I'm older so Uh the gentleman that was from uh that Charles.

was talking about the the interest rate too, um, back in the day, and that was in my prime, And I remember paying 18%.

So and I'm a real estate appraiser, so there you have it.

So I'm just Yeah, that you know So I'm seeing a lot of stuff changing. They're not changing as fast as I thought they would, but you know, they're still groping along. And it all depends on where the market is too. Anyway, that was the only thing I wanted to say here. Anna, yeah, I'm with you, and I know that Gingrich has had conversations with a number of conservatives.

I have to imagine they had talks with Kevin McCarthy, and I really hope that McCarthy does not botch this. I mean, this is not just winnable for Republicans in the midterms. If they can unify around a central theme, then I think we're going to see massive wins in the midterm elections. Anna, appreciate the call. Let's go to Oakwood, Tennessee.

Jerry listening to us on KWAM. Jerry, what say you? Yeah. Hi, I uh got a little bit of a list here. And I'm hoping that if they do this contract of America, I hope they promise to protect the First Amendment.

the freedom of speech from the mainstream media and from big tech. And I hope they promise to protect the Second Amendment as far as our right to own and buy firearms and not be reported to some agency by our credit card companies. I hope they promised to protect the Fourth and the Fifth Amendments as to unreasonable searches And due process. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope they promised to protect the sixth and the eighth amendments.

I think January 6th for right to a speedy trial and truly unusual punishment. And I hope they promise to protect the Senthamement. which uh promises that any uh you know all Yeah. Designated by the Constitution revert back to the states. And then I hope they promise to protect or the fight against this uh would threat to uh experience and impact the Supreme Court.

and to end the filibuster and to end voter ID and to do mail in voting. and to end oil and gas and force our electronic vehicle. And I hope that they protect us of loyal Trump supporters. I hope they promise to protect us from the FBI. from the CIA, from the DOJ and from the IRS.

And finally, I hope they promise and CRT and then the stupid LGBT thing that's going on. That's what I'm hoping for. Wow, Jerry, that is a very well thought-out list. And I think every single one of those things ought to be addressed. I know that they've narrowed it down to four, with crime being a central theme.

But you're right. Every one of those things, some of those things should have been addressed when the Republicans had control during Trump's first two years in office. And for example, big tech, they did not want to touch the social media platforms. And Paul Ryan let it slide. And what Facebook is doing now.

Facebook is now literally accused of suppressing information during the 2020 presidential election. You're right, Jerry. And again, that for me is a big thing because I see it firsthand on my social media platforms, and it drives me nuts because we're doing everything the way it should be done, and there's no reason for us to be punished.

So, Jerry. Good for you, sir. Good comments. And we're going to see how many of those are actually in the plan tomorrow when Kevin McCarthy makes it official. Appreciate the call.

844-747-8868. Let's go to Phil in Alabama. Phil, what's on your mind? Hey, Todd, let me just say quickly that I love the way you and Grace interact on the air. Makes it a lot of fun.

Well, thank you for that. I hope it's entertaining for Grace. I have a good time on this side of the glass. Yeah, I think you do a great job. Thank you.

Just, I wanted to ask you a question: not what you think will be on the contract tomorrow, Todd, but what you would like to see on the contract. Just your thoughts. I want it to be very simple. I think, and again, I appreciate all of the things on Jerry's list, but I think we have to simplify it. And I think crime, addressing crime and funding police, need to be on that list.

I think schools, education should be addressed. Jerry pointed out CRT and this radical sex and gender movement, that needs to be addressed. And securing our border, I mean, that and I think Ron DeSantis illustrated, as Greg Gabbitt did as well, I think they illustrated how. How this really is a huge issue in our nation based on what happened with the Martha's Vineyard. What are you going to call that?

The invasion of Martha's Vineyard? Absolutely. Yeah, and I would agree with you 100% on the border. Todd, I really would. That's critical.

The crime issue funding would be be great. But But you know, crime and I know you've got a big issue there in Memphis. We've got it all over here in Alabama, Birmingham, and that type of thing as well. But crime is a local issue. I mean, what what entity of the government do you want the FBI to You know what I'm saying?

It's a local issue.

Well, it is a local issue, but it's the House of Representatives that we're talking about, not the U.S. Senate, but it's the House of Representatives. And those congressmen have a lot of pull. We've got to get the funding. We've got to get the resources to the local communities.

And I think that's where members of Congress can be instrumental. You know, again, the reason we had Donald Trump in there in the first place was to fight and dismantle the deep state. And I hope people now understand that this was a very real thing. It wasn't some sort of a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that the deep state is real, it exists, and it's going to come knocking on your door if you complain about your local school board or if you give a dollar to Donald Trump. Absolutely.

What I would like to see, Todd, is That the four points, and I think you said it's primarily four points. I want to see something concrete, not just, you know, not just It'd be interesting to go back and look at the ninety-four contract with America of Newt Gingrich and see how much of that actually. did something, did change something. You know what? We'll have Grace pull that up.

Grace, let's pull up the original Newt Gingrich contract with America back in 94. And we'll do that. That's actually a great idea, Phil, and we'll post that on our live show blog. Yes, you and I both know. I mean, politics is talk, talk, talk.

I want people are they want action. They're tired even with regard I'm a big DeSantis fan, not so much Abbott because I lived in Texas for ten years. He's a rhino. And that's sorry, they're playing games by moving the people. They're drawing attention to it, I agree.

But we don't need we're just moving illegals further in the country. Why don't we defend the border? No, no, no. Look, I hear you. I hear you, Phil.

But I think what DeSantis was doing and Phil, I got to run for the top of the hour news here, so thanks for the call. What DeSantis was doing was illustrating a point. Those people were going to get just dumped somewhere in the country. They weren't getting sent back across the border. And DeSantis brilliantly.

Illustrated that not even the rich white liberals of Martha's Vineyard want the illegals living in their neighborhood. All right, got to take a break here, folks. 844-747-8868. What do you want to see in that contract with America? This is the Todd Starge Radio Show.

New message. What up, what up? It's Heather's cousin. You dated her in college, or maybe you were just in the same class. Anyway, I heard you bought a boat, my man.

Let's hit the water. Oh, and Heather told me you always liked snacks and stuff, so I could totally bring some chips. When you get a boat, you also get new friends. Make sure Progressive's one of them and get coverage today for as little as $100 a year. Hey, also, I'm a little short on cash, so can you cover the chips?

Thanks. I can see why Heather liked you. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates Annual bring information liability policy not available in all states. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite cunt totent Bible clinging deplorable American. That's it!

That's right. I love this American. Todd Starnes.

So, Grace, somebody told me on the social media platform, they weren't too happy with my take on the impossible burger being impossible to eat. Oh, man. It's basically what? A vegetarian burger? Is that what it is?

Yeah, it's like beans and stuff mashed together. I think I tasted mushrooms. Oh, see, that's where I draw the line. I don't do the mushrooms.

Some thistle or dandelions. I don't know. Oh, my lord. They just get it all together and just mush it into a patty. It's impossible to tell what's in it.

It's impossible to eat. Anyway, they said, well, maybe it was just the way it was made. No, I'm pretty certain that's not it. But thank you. I've never heard anybody say, oh, I tried an impossible burger and it was really good.

No. Not once. It took a lot of Chick-fil-A to wash that taste. I have heard of some restaurants having a good vegetarian burger, but it's very rare. And I've never tried it.

Because if I'm going to go to a restaurant, I'm not ordering something healthy. No, because I don't eat out a lot. Anyone can eat lawn clippings. You don't want to eat. To pay 30 bucks for it.

You know, you want to eat a cheeseburger or a steak. That's true. That's all I'm saying. All right. Thank you.

Anyway, Grace Baker, ladies and gentlemen, 844-747-8868. Toll-free telephone number. That's 844-747-8868. Getting a lot of questions about our interview with President Trump. You will be able to listen to that when our podcast is posted, which happens right after the show.

So after this hour of the show, you will be able to go back and listen to our entire interview with President Trump. By the way, our next guest, Congressman Troy Nells from the 22nd Congressional District in Texas, had a very long meeting with President Trump. Congressman, good to have you back with us today. Hope you're doing well. Good to be with you, Todd.

Thank you for having me back. Thank you so much. All right, Congressman, what did you and President Trump talked about? We talked about a variety of different things. You know, it was the day after the Mar-Lago raid.

About ten of us up there. We had a great conversation to think about it. This was twelve hours after the breach into his Marlago home, the raid of his home down there in Florida, and he wasn't sweating that at all. I mean, we had a three hour dinner meeting with him. He was signing half and all sorts of different things, having a great conversation.

He actually expressed interest in the members, the ten of us or so that were there asking about our families, asking how we're doing, how our districts are looking.

So you could tell this raid didn't bother him at all because he knew that this was just another feeble attempt by the far left to destroy him. And he's been attacked now for five years. He's getting pretty used to it, unfortunately. Congressman, we had the President on in the first hour of the show. He said he thinks they actually stole his last will and testament.

Wouldn't surprise me, wouldn't surprise me with the dishonest media and the FBI and the DOJ and the way they've handled this. I don't really think in the end it's about a few boxes that he had that the actual FBI and the DOJ said here, put an extra lock on it to keep them secure. His team, Trump's team, was communicating with the DOJ and the FBI back in June about those documents.

So I think this was just They found a confidential informant, probably another nut job, and found a weak judge to give them a little probable cause to get into Mar-Lago. But I think it's more about those documents. I think they were there to try to find anything they could. To indict Trump on something. I mean, to spend nine hours there, that's a long time, to go through Barron's room.

I mean, we're going to have the FBI go through Barron's room, and we have it even checked Hunter Biden's room. That's the shameful part of all this. Congressman, we had Kat Kamack on just earlier in the program from your colleague from Florida talking about this commitment to America, which is basically a modern-day version of Newt Gingrich's contract with America. I'm wondering: have you seen this? Do you know of any of the details?

What's in this thing?

Well, I think, listen, I think Newt Gingrich was here earlier in the day, and I think Kevin McCarthy, he's going to be the Speaker. It's a done deal. Kevin McCarthy is going to be the leader, the Speaker of the House, when we take over the majority. And I think it's that commitment to America, and I understand why we need to have a commitment to America. But we've got to understand it's America we're committed to.

I mean, we're spending billions of dollars. I was one of 57 that said, I'm not giving Ukraine $40 billion. You've got to be crazy because the reason I voted no is there really is no strong. Strategy. There is no end state there.

This administration, this This President has not given me or the American people a strategy as how do we deal with Putin going into the Ukraine.

So I voted no on that. And I just we've had opportunities to sit down with Lena McCarthy and we said, you know, if the American people or when the American people give us the gavel back, we damn well better take care of it. And that means we've got to get this reckless spending out under control. We've got to save our children, save our school, and we certainly got to find ways to get our economy back on track. Congressman, have you had a chance to read through the blueprint yet?

I have not read it all. I know they're rolling that out. We are going to have some time to review that here over the next two weeks. Several days, several weeks.

So I have not read the entire transcript, but I do know that many of us in the Freedom Caucus. Have expressed support for it. We think it's a step in the right direction. But quite honestly, it can't get any worse for us in our country right now, can it?

Well, that's a fair point. I think one of the provisions, some slides have leaked out that Politico is reporting. 200,000 more cops on the streets. I think that's a good thing. And certainly, crime is a big issue across the entire nation right now.

So I'm glad to see that, Congressman. I I agree because the and Leader McCarthy has said this before that the that the left they own the defund the police movement There have been several of us members. I know I filed legislation to add 100,000 cops to the streets, but Jerry Nadler will never give me a committee hearing, and so that's not going to happen. And quite honestly, the Democrats will never give a Republican a true win.

So I believe that this commitment to America is going to certainly help stop the bleed. And I have to give a little bit of faith and confidence that Leader McCarthy is truly going to stay true to his word and understand this is a commitment to America, and we must. put America first.

Well said, and Congressman, we will leave it there. Always good to have you on the program, and we appreciate your great words today. Thank you. God bless you and all your listeners. All right, Congressman Troy Nels, ladies and gentlemen, out of the great state of Texas, 22nd Congressional District.

I think he's from Wisconsin, though. I don't pick up a Texas accent there. But anyway, great man, served in the military, and we're glad that he's up on Capitol Hill. 844-747-886TA. I got to go to Doug in Illinois.

Doug, Grace tells me that you have an impossible burger story, and I cannot wait to hear this. Oh, yes. My wife is a vegetarian, but I'll I'll give her credit. Uh she doesn't try to make me uh go on a vegetarian diet, so it's just she'll still cook my deer meat and stuff, so Uh no problem there. but uh she had me cooking one of her garden burgers on the grill.

And I made the mistake of flipping it over with my fingers and stuck them in my mouth, and that was probably one of the worst things I've ever stuck in my mouth on purpose. That was horrible. I don't want to know what the worst was, but you're saying it was one of the worst. Oh yeah, it was it was terrible. But on a happier note, in the Bible the Bible verse, Nehemiah 8.10, I don't know if you're familiar with it.

But it says, Then he, he being Nehemiah, then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet.

Sounds like a biblical uh biblical description of a barbecue to me. Yeah, or pork rinds and sweet tea. Yeah. Heck yeah. That's why I love that's why I'm a Baptist.

Got to be honest with you, Doug.

Well, Doug, thank you. There's one more reason I'm a gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. I love it. All right, Doug from Illinois, ladies and gentlemen. Doug, thank you.

You know, I had those. Uh those vegetarian sausage patties. Back in Brooklyn. Oh, and it tasted like fermented cardboard. Did you mean to eat?

No, no, no, no, no, no. It was, no. They actually mixed and mingled the meat in with the fake meat. Oh, that's a sin right there. But after that episode, they got right with the Lord because I went down and had a come to Jesus meeting with them.

Well, good. And they created a whole section in the supermarket.

So, you know, it's and it's like under lock and key. It's in the back. As it should be. As it should be. Verily, verily.

All right. Hey, before we go to break here, I got to share this story with you. And we're going to get to Patty in just a moment. Tell Patty to hang tight. We're going to get to her after the break.

Someone sent me this story about the Air Force Academy. And I don't know what it is about the Air Force, but it seems like most of the wokeness has infected the Air Force. And I remember years ago, they had a lesbian leader, was it over at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, and called one of the. One of the leaders in and asked whether or not he supported gay marriage. And he said politely that it was really none of her business.

And so he got in trouble because he refused to unveil or reveal His position on same-sex marriage. What that has to do with flying airplanes is beyond me. But there you go.

So anyway, the Air Force Academy now has a now they mandate that all cadets go through a diversity training class, and they're telling the poor cadets they're no longer allowed to say words like mom and dad. The slide presentation titled Diversity and Inclusion, What It Is, Why We Care and What We Can Do was advises cadets to use person centered and gender neutral language when talking about individuals.

So in other words, when you would write a letter back home, dear mom, I want you to know I'm still alive, you know, all that kind of stuff. You're not allowed to call her mom any more.

So you can say dear parent number one or dear birthing person, those are okay, but you cannot use the term mom. According to the Air Force, some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.

So consider you can say caregiver, dear caregiver. What would your mom do if you wrote a letter and you called her a caregiver or a birthing person? I'll tell you, in my household, we wouldn't be worried about the Russians or the Chinese. I'd be worried about Mama. You're also not allowed to say boyfriend or girlfriend, so you can't be that specific.

You have to use words like partner. You cannot say color br color blind or I don't see color.

Now you have to be color conscious because now they want you to see color. They want you to see color in everything. This is all part the story's Fox News. Mike Waltz, who is a Green Beret and Afghan war veteran, said it's been a tradition in the military to get letters from mom and dad or your boyfriend and girlfriend for as long as there's been a military.

Now we're instructing every cadet entering the Air Force not to say mom and dad, not to say boyfriend or girlfriend. It's this drive towards gender neutrality. Uh Quote, I think the Air Force should be worried about the macro aggressions against America that are happening all over the world. And it's a fair point. I mean, it seems to me that the Air Force Academy is more worried about misgendering a cadet than they are Russia, China or Iran.

This is your military, ladies and gentlemen. And I'm telling you, this is why they're having recruitment problems. Because red-blooded American young men, yes, I said it, young men who would normally sign up for the military are taking a look at this and they're saying, oh, uh-uh, no way. I'd rather eat an impossible burger. 844-747-8868.

This is the Todd Starting Show. New message. What up, what up? It's Heather's cousin. You dated her in college, or maybe you were just in the same class.

Anyway, I heard you bought a boat. My man, let's hit the water. Oh, and Heather told me you always liked uh snacks and stuff, so I could totally bring some chips. When you get a boat, you also get new friends. Make sure Progressive's one of them and get coverage today for as little as $100 a year.

Hey, also, I'm a little short on cash, so can you cover the chips? Thanks. I can see why Heather liked you. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliates annual premium for basic liability policy not available in all states. You know, it really is good to be back in Memphis at our bunker.

I love traveling. It's a lot of fun. By the way, the new Delta Sky Lounge at the airport in Los Angeles, wonderful. Absolutely fantastic. But it's nice to be back in the studio.

Oh, we have, ladies and gentlemen, breaking news. Breaking news! All right, here we go. This from the New York Post. Grace, this goes into the I Told You So category.

According to the New York Post, even buns in the oven don't like kale. Oh. The taste of the bitter leafy green makes unborn babies grimace with a crying face. Can you blame them?

Now, this is all part of a brand new study from Durham University in England. They're saying that babies do enjoy carrots. And if you're eating a car so moms, if you're eating a carrot, your baby will actually smile. Fetuses were twice as likely to make the grossed out expression after the mother swallowed powdered kale capsules compared to powdered carrot pills.

Well, I find carrots more tasty than kale.

So that's a fair assessment. All that to say, eat Chick-fil-A and your kid's going to be very happy. Yeah, that's very true. All right, let's go to the phones here: 844-747-8868. Patty in North Carolina, WSIC, our great affiliate there.

Now, Patty, I understand you're going to the rally. Yes, and I went to the Ohio rally. You're a world traveler.

Well, I'm surprised the FBI hasn't been knocked, knock, knock.

Well, Patty, the President is a little bit more. I don't care if they knock, knock, knock. I you know what? I got more stuff on my lawn, so I'm putting more stuff on my lawn. I got more flags.

They you know let me tell you something. That guy God bless him, Donald Trump. He's look he looks like he's g younger. He really does. And Patty, he seems so relaxed.

Hold on, hold on, Patty. He seems so relaxed in our interview earlier in the show. Yeah. breakdown time. Yeah.

I would too. a mental hospital. How he goes through it. I don't know how his family deal with it. They are the most.

I love that family. They are great.

Now, Patty, the rally is in Wilmington, North Carolina. And so that's so that you a lot of people don't realize North Carolina is a big state, so you're going to be doing a lot of driving to get there. No, I'm only. Three and a half hours. Oh, so that's a pretty good drive, though.

That's not too bad. You know what? It's worth it go see him? I you know what? And then when you go to a Trump rally, the People are all happy.

They're all, you know what? Oh, you know our, you know, you know the Trump people that are the murderers, right? We murder everybody. And you know, watch out for us, especially when we're doing the YMCA. Oh, they go bonkers over that.

BANG! Love that you I meet I I mean people That from other rallies, they love Everybody gets along. It's like one big family. Everybody gets along. But we're the ones that's going to ruin democracy.

Oh. Yeah. Well, again, Patty, just look at what happened to that horrible story, that tragedy in North Dakota. With that boy. The poor eighteen year old.

You know what? And he got he got out of a fifty thousand dollar bond. Patty, I will say this. I agree with President Trump. I think the language that the guy was using came right out of President Biden's speech.

And I think Biden's got blood on his hands. That's what I think about that. Patty, I hate to do this. We've got to run. Look, safe travels, you've got to give us a full report when you get back from the rally this coming weekend in North Carolina.

All right, let's real quick go to Tom in Oregon. You know what, Tom, hang tight. We're coming up on the top of the hour, or the bottom of the hour, rather, and I want to make sure we give you some time.

All right, people of Earth, welcome back to the Todd Starns Radio Program. We're going to get to your calls in just a moment. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line.

One of my favorites is joining us. Brand new bookout: Is the End Near? Oh, that's a great question. That's it's a great book. Dr.

Michael Youssef is just an incredible leader in the Christian community. He is the founder and president of Leading the Way, an incredible ministry, and he is the founding pastor of the Church of the Apostles in Atlanta, Georgia. And Dr. Youssef joins us today. Dr.

Youssef, I hope you're doing well today. Ah, what a delight to be with you again, Todd. Really is just joy. When I saw your name, I said, Man, how I want to be there. Oh, this is going to be a fun segment.

And first of all, congratulations on the new book. The second question: is the endineer, Dr. Youssef?

Well, I really believe it is. I'll tell you why. Uh if uh Anybody followed me for all the years I've been in the media and the United States, 35 years? I'm not known as being the in time preacher. That's not me.

I'm kind of a counsel of God. You're not Hal Lindsay, is what you're saying. No, no, no. I knew Hal, by the way. He's a wonderful man, but.

He he told me how much he got burnt out with the late Great Pony Earth And so I learned from him and I I just preached exposure. Yeah. And um Yeah. As you know, Todd, I'm trained cultural anthropologist and uh And so I'd read uh kind of watch trends. And so, with the scripture open in front of me to the words of Jesus, not all the stuff about.

Gog and Magog and and Armageddon and this uh just the words of Jesus. when he was asked by the disciples in Matthew twenty four, What are the signs? Of the nearness of your time. And he gives them six. And then he kind of uh couched it in a Uh uh uh image of a uh uh a birth uh Uh birth pains.

And Because you know Yeah. Maybe it gets Began to be pregnant, there was no labor pain. And then you go for all this period. of Tom. Nothing happening with any come to at the end of the nine months.

And then They come every the labor parents, they will come every half. We have 11 grandchildren, so I've been through this so many times. They come every two hours, every hour, then every half an hour. In reality, what Jesus is saying to the disciples, look, Earthquakes Uh All of the six Things that he gives them as the They always going to be with us. But here's the sign that he gave that is so clear I think missed by a lot of people who are busy with the charts.

He said, when you see These coming in closer. And closer intervals. Didn't you know? that the baby is about to be born. The happy uh occasion is coming.

And therefore, you better be ready. And then immediately he goes on to chapter twenty-five. It gives the parable of the ten virgins. Five had the oil already and the other five did not. There's so much in common.

But five were ready, five were not. Yeah. I really became convinced as I watched the world and as I watching the globe, In the past, a lot of the in-time preachers always put everything by America. Everything that's happened in America has to do with the in well, wait a minute. God is bigger than America, it's the globe.

And so these things are happening globally and as I watch them, And I got the scripture open. I said, I need to write a book. Even though I avoided getting into the end time stuff, But I said, I think now is the time. The world is asking questions. And we who know Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord of our lives, We know our eternity secure in him.

We need to let the world know That there's an opportunity, and the opportunity is now to come in and escape the judgment. And so that's really my primary motivation. Dr. Youssef, you point out, and I go back to the days of the global pandemic when there was really a lot of panic. And usually in those times, people immediately returned back to the church, but they could not do that because most of the churches in America were closed at the time.

You look at what's happening with the fires and the floods and the hurricanes and all of these disasters, and you throw into that the conversation we're having now on the global sphere where you've got nuclear war being threatened. And you do wonder: okay, at what point, you know, how crazy is this going to get before the Lord returns? Yes. Well, you know, his you really put your finger on something very important. What the global epidemic, at least for me, showed us this incredible proclivity on the part of so many so called Western democracies, who immediately turn into becoming authoritarianists.

and into authoritarianism regimes. Whether it be in Melbourne, Australia, which are very familiar with that country, my wife is from Australia. Or whether it be in Canada, where when the pastor just only opened the church, he didn't even have people there, he just opened the door and immediately went to prison. And and in Sydney, Australia, with if you're w if you're five miles away from home, and they catch you on those one of those cameras, you get arrested and go to jail. And so, when you see these things in England, my goodness gracious, all the stuff that was happening in England.

So when you see all of that is happening, You say, you know, the world is being prepared For the Antichrist, because not only that authoritarian just popped. up so fast, so quickly. But people complied very quickly. Yeah. They became sheep all of a sudden.

And so when the Antichrist with the capital A, because a lot of Antichrists through the history With a small A, but When the Antichrist comes, as John talks about in his epistles and his revelation. You're going to see the people already prepared to comply to Especially the fact that he's described as a very, very charming, very good. Uh person who Mm-hmm. People are going to say, wow. Even in Matthew 24, 24, Jesus said, even if possible.

Yeah. Some of the elect will be misled. And that is a mind blowing to me because Many times in the Gospel of John, Jesus said, those whom the Father has given me, I'll lose none. But when you think of the lack of discernment on the part of so many church people today, How easily is he going to be misled? Um A charmer who is performing miracles, supernatural, doing great things, and everybody said, Wow, we want this guy, we want him to rule over us.

And so the world is being prepared by the same token Todd, I'm seeing now as I travel the globe So many people in Muslim. countries and persecuted Christian countries. Yeah. Coming to Christ by the thousands. even at the threat of their own life as soon as they convert.

While in the West that they're turning their back on on the on the face And they call it deconstruction. And so That Satan is preparing the world for the Antichrist. God. is preparing his elect from every corner of the globe his return. And so that excites me.

I really not frighten me at all. That gives me absolutely uh shivers in the back of my spine. looking up and knowing that my day of redemption is drawing near. Going near. And I wanted to take as many people to heaven with me as possible.

Dr. Michael Youssef is on our Patriot mobile newsmaker line. He's got a really thought-provoking new book out talking about the end of days. Is the end near? There is a website, is the endnearbook.com.

And of course, we have a link to the book on our live show blog, so you can find it there as well. And the book comes out in October. Dr. Youssef, you mentioned, and I get these questions a lot as well. And we're having a church dinner and we're just shooting the breeze and they talk about the apocalypse.

But there are fears about that. I mean, what if we get hit by an asteroid or there's something else that would really cause mass catastrophe? You talk about that in the book. I do. In fact, Jesus himself said, there will be signs in the heavens.

Now remember, he's talking to people at that time, not only the period of history, period of time, but their level of education, everything else. He didn't tell them about asteroids and all these things. He just said there will be signs in the heavens. And I mean, you're going to see it happening globally that so with the B asteroid, here's the where the fear comes in. Yeah.

You remember uh I I know you're young, but I'll I'm an old man now. But I remember back when uh Jimmy Carter was being pressured. to go unilateral disarmament with the Soviet Union. And a local bishop here in Atlanta wrote him an open letter. It was published.

And he said um You know, you need to unilaterally disarm, and this is very liberal, bishop, and so this. Then the bishop called me one day. He said, Do you think that letter is correct? I said, look, I'm not here to question your politics or your theology even. But I want to tell you what I do.

At that time, I had three young children.

Now I have 11 grandchildren. I said I said, if I hear there's a nuclear weapon left Moscow and is heading for Atlanta, I said, I'll tell you what I would do. And I'm speaking as a father who adores his children. I said, I'll go to the roof of my house. And I'll wait for it so we can go to heaven together.

And so if your eternity is secure in Christ, You don't have to worry about how we're going to get hit, what's going to get hit, if we're going to get hit. But you are always looking up and saying, I know Christ, my family know Christ, and I, you know, my loved ones know Christ. And whatever happens, we know that eternity our eternity is so secure in Christ and is going to be far more fantastic than this earth ever hoped to be. Why do I worry? Why do I fear?

Nothing. But if you do not know the faith and you don't know Jesus. As the personal savior, then I would worry. I would be scared. to death.

But a Because I you know, I wouldn't know what's going to be on the other side. And I would want everybody who's listening to us, and I know this is not a Christian program, But uh To to think, really think about this life About eternal life. About what God said about eternity. begin to plan now. to prepare and I'm telling you, in the old days to hide some people They're in times.

In times, what happens? They put on white robes. They head for the mountains. That is crazy. I because I believe that we are at the Indas, I am working 17 hours a day.

and literally traveling the globe I'm just heading for England, and I'll come back after big celebrations and big meetings there. I'm going to go to Australia in November. I Okay. Gospel. Over the world.

I am busier than ever before at 74. It is a slogan. Here's a slogan, busier than ever before at seventy four. Because the That's what Jesus said, occupy till I come. Nuts.

put on white robes, head for the mountains. No. He said, occupy it like I said, I'm working and giving and serving, and that's what we're supposed to do, not sit in our blessed assurance and say, Okay, waiting for the spaceship. All right, Dr. Youssef, that's a great way to end the conversation, and we wish you safe travels across the globe.

Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and affiliate annual premium for basic liability policy not available in all states. All right, let's get right to the phones here. Florida, Dora on the line. Hey, Dora, what's on your mind today? Hey, Todd, great show.

I really enjoy everything you have to offer. Dr. Deutsch was terrific. Wasn't he pulling? Here's He's the best.

Dora, can I say something before let me jump in here? Paul our good friend Paul Shanklin said, Okay, I get the end is near. Are we going to have enough time to read his book? Yeah. Yeah, it's true.

He made a comment at the very end of his talk. I took it all in, but he talked about service. And you know, our country. With dealt. On the Constitution and the service of our great father of our country, George Washington, he could have become president.

But instead I'm sorry, he could have become a king, but instead he wanted a president and he wanted a new form of government. And the founding fathers established our government that we would serve from the private sector.

So as far as Here's the contract of America. that goes, I would love to see a reaffirmation On the somewhere. concerning our constitutional principles. And I love your idea of simplicity, but I would love to see it unfold in election reform. like one day, like in France, paper ballots only.

I'd like to see term limits. I'd like to see in the educational portion some sort of reform that should include classes in civic. Teach our young kids again. about our government. the three branches of government and why this experiment in history has produced the greatest history in the world.

And then I would like to see If President Trump runs again, I would love for him to take, if he, as an alpha male, wouldn't mind it. The Santis as his vice vice president. And I would like to see he can structure it so that DeSantis would be a real working vice president, not a figurehead. And I'd love to see that the career politicians are put out of business. All our problems started with career politicians.

People come out of the private sector and serve their country. service like Queen Elizabeth served her country for seventy years. Dora, I love all of this. And I think the challenge has been, and you're right, George Washington, they wanted him to be king, and he said absolutely not. And the problem, though, is that now we have a political ruling class.

We have people that have been up in Washington for 30, 40, 50 years. And unfortunately, they believe they themselves are political royalty in America. And we've got to do something about that. We just have to. Dora, I've got to run, and I appreciate the great call.

Again, instead of Queen Elizabeth, what do we have in this country, ladies and gentlemen? We have Queen Nancy the pickled. I mean, that's what we got. And look where that got us. All right, it's been a great show.
