Don't Underestimate Tampon Timmy

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. That's right. I love the Samaritan Ride. And hello, America. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

Happy to have you guys with us today. And a lot is going on in the world. We've got, we are on the brink of something major happening over in Israel. We'll give you the very latest information over there. We're following those developments.

Also, the horrible situation in North Carolina. And by the way, if you have not done so, I would urge you right now to go to our website, our live show blog, and click on the Samaritan's Purse link. We are helping Samaritan's Purse raise money for the storm victims. And we have, this is an organization run by Franklin Graham. We had Edward Graham on the show yesterday.

And also, he made an appearance on my Newsmax show last night. This is a Great, legitimate organization. The money that you give goes directly to those storm victims.

So be assured of that, knowing that your money is going to help people who desperately need it right now. And one of the concerns I have, and I don't know if you share this concern, is that this particular story is going to get shoved off of the front pages of the newspapers in a very short amount of time. And here's the reason why. This is an area that is just incredibly pro-Trump. And there are a lot of people out there speculating, and I'm one of them, that one of the reasons why there has been a lack of government urgency here is because these people are Trump supporters.

And this is an area and a region that is so on fire for Donald Trump that what happens in western North Carolina could actually impact how the state goes in the November elections. And I I know that sounds cold and pardon me, callous and downright, I don't know, evil. But That's what I feel about this. And I only say that because when you look at what happened in East Palestine, Ohio, for example, there is a very ugly track record there.

So, we're going to be following those developments, and we'll be keeping you updated on what's happening in North Carolina, and not just North Carolina. And we also, I mean, there's Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and eastern Tennessee that have also come under attack. Those of you in that area, by the way, you haven't, it doesn't matter what we're talking about today. We have an open line Tuesday edition of the program for our friends in those affected regions. We want to know how you are doing.

I know many of you are regular callers. We want to know how you are doing in your towns and your communities. And you give us a call: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

So tonight is the debate. And look, presidential campaigns are not one, they are not lost on presidential debates. But tonight in New York City, CBS News is going to be moderating tonight's debate. And you know, the fix is already in. The moderators have a very long and well-documented anti-Trump bias.

So that's kind of baked into the cornbread here. All right. We get that. But I think JD Vance is going to be okay. JD Vance is a master debater, and he does he knows how to handle this, and he's going to do just fine.

Now, a lot of people are talking about Tampon Temmi, and they're saying, oh, well, Tampon Temmi is he's going to lose it. As a matter of fact, the lead up to the debate, and it's amazing how the mainstream media and they cover for these guys, ladies and gentlemen, always remember the drive-by media. They are always On the side of the Democrat. Even when they don't appear to be, they are.

So they've been providing stories and publishing stories in the lead up to tonight's debate. And many of you have seen them about how Tampon Timmy is very nervous about what's going to happen tonight, that he may be off his game.

So they're really, they're building up J.D. Vance by tearing down Timmy Waltz. But here's what you need to know about Tim Waltz: this guy. Is a force to be reckoned with. He has been in politics for two decades.

He has served in Congress. He is the governor of the state. And he behaves very differently. In the debates than he does right now, where it looks as if he is trying to get a spot on the chorus line in a Bob Fossey cabaret. This is the headline.

From Newsweek, Democrats lower expectations about Tim Waltz, the New York Post. Nervous waltz. Vance prep for debate as both camps pray for one thing. CNN, Waltz fighting nerves ahead of debate of debating fans.

So it doesn't matter. What they're doing is they're lowering the expectations.

So if all Timmy Waltz does is walk out there and doesn't do the jazz hands, oh, it's so fabulous to be here. If he doesn't do that, he's going to win the debate in the eyes of the mainstream media. Do you see what they're doing? It's a game they play. And it has nothing to do with J.D.

Vance at all, right? This is all about nervous Tampon Timmy. And if he doesn't soil himself on stage, then he wins the debate. It's really that simple.

So, anyway, we're going to be going through. We've got some great audio we're going to play from a previous J.D. Vance debate just to illustrate to you the power of this guy. But look, the This needs to be a very, very aggressive. debate.

And JD Vance needs to call out Tampon Timmy and Cakalin Kamala for all of their radical policies. Yeah. Including what's happening with these illegals.

Now, hear me on this. Hear me on this. What's happening right now in North Carolina and in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, the southeastern United States, what's happening is a great example of the America First Agenda versus the America Last Agenda. Look at what happened. You had this Massive hurricane.

And it didn't go the way they thought it was going to go. It slams into North Carolina. You may have hundreds of dead people, hundreds of dead people, by the time it's all said and done in North Carolina. Thousands, tens of thousands of people are homeless. Hundreds of roads and bridges have been washed out.

There is mass carnage out there. And where was Joe Biden? Joe Biden. was out there suntanning on a beach. Without a shirt on, with that leathery, nasty, wrinkled old man's skin, Visible for all the world to see.

That's where Joe Biden was. Caclin Kamala was over in San Francisco, and she was eating the caviar, she was eating the filet mignon, and she was whining and dining the big dollar donors. What was President Trump doing, ladies and gentlemen? President Trump was boots on the ground in Valdosta, Georgia. And by the way, did you see what happened?

Thousands of people came swarming out to see President Trump in the midst of all the destruction. The people of Valdosta wanted to see President Trump. And what did he do? He greeted people. He helped people.

He led the nation in a moment of silent prayer. He had Franklin Graham by his side, and then he asked Franklin Graham to lead a prayer for the victims of the hurricane. The president said now is not the time for politics. And I'm telling you, the man just looks presidential, and he behaves presidentially. It was a beautiful thing.

The President then announced a big GoFundMe campaign. They've raised well over a million dollars already. And what's Joe Biden doing? Joe Biden's mean, nasty. yelling snapping at reporters.

Kamala Harris is staging fake photos? Where she's uh there was a photograph circulating yesterday. We touched on it briefly, and we showed it on our Newsmax show last night. We said, Just look very closely at the photograph. Here she is, and she's allegedly talking intently to the people at FEMA.

She's got the headphones in her ears, but they're not plugged into the smartphone. She had an ink pen there, and she was allegedly taking these copious notes, and there was nothing written on the paper. There were just blank pages of paper there. She was faking it. And the reason why I truly believe is very simple: that the areas of the country that were impacted are predominantly Republican.

Parts of the country. Florida Georgia. North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee. These are Republican strongholds, and especially Western North Carolina, which is the most conservative red part of the entire state of North Carolina.

So yeah, I do believe that politics is at play here. I truly and and tonight I believe that Tim that Tim Waltz needs to be held accountable for that. Why is it that they are putting the needs of illegal aliens and Ukrainians ahead of the needs of foreign? Freedom-loving, law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens. Why are they doing that?

Well, the answer is very simple: they don't care about you, they don't. They don't care about any of us. Taking our money. And by the way, yesterday in the oral office, you had Joe Biden there, and he was saying, Well, we need the American people to give money.

Well, wait a second. Yes, the American people are giving money. The American people are already doing things. As a matter of fact, Samaritans PERS and the Southern Baptist Convention disaster relief people were boots on the ground before FEMA was. And I contend that Donald Trump going out there and condemning this administration.

For their lack of a response to what happened in western North Carolina, it shamed Joe Biden into action. And now I think FEMA's uh sent what, one plane filled with supplies? Which is great, but they need more. By the way, God bless Governor Ron DeSantis out of Florida. Governor DeSantis announcing today they're sending boats, they're sending portable bridges, they're sending all sorts of resources to help the good people there in Western North Carolina.

God bless you, Governor Ron DeSantis. Because that's who we are. Elon Musk working with Donald Trump to get the Starlink system up. And that's been the big problem for a lot of people is just no communication at all. Nobody knows what's going on.

So all of those things need to be addressed tonight. And I believe it's a fair thing to ask why is it that we are sending billions and billions of dollars to other countries and yet we are not taking care of our own?

Somebody needs to explain that tonight. Tim Waltz needs to explain that tonight. Why are by the way, Tim Waltz is on the record saying. Oh yeah, we love overwhelming our small towns and communities with the illegals. Listen to Tim Waltz here, cut nine.

We have more refugees per capita than any other state. That's not just morally a good thing. It's our economic and cultural future. This beautiful diversity we see out in Worthington when I'm there, you see 50 languages spoken in the school. Are you kidding me?

Who's paying for all of that? The good people of Minnesota are taxed at the wazoo, as they say in Minnesota. I mean, it's horrible. These poor towns are being overwhelmed by these people. Overwhelmed.

Imagine having to be on the school board there in, I don't know, the Lutheranville, Minnesota, and all of a sudden you've got 50 different languages showing up at your local school. And now the school board has to figure out where do we hire all these teachers who speak these other languages so we can teach these kids how to speak English. Who gets screwed then, ladies and gentlemen? I'll tell you who gets screwed. It's the good.

Citizens of America. The children of the taxpayers of America. You guys are the ones getting hosed here. All right, we got to take a break. They're yelling at me.

We got to take a break. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. And we do want to hear from you. If we're over in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, we want to hear how you guys are doing the relief efforts. Give us an update: 901-260-5926.

And what do you want to hear? What do you want to hear J.D. Vance say tonight? What does J.D. Vance need to do tonight?

To win this debate. 901-260-5926. This is the Tod Stern Show. All right, welcome back to the Todd Starrance Radio Show, everybody. Great to have you with us today.

Let's go to the phone lines: 901-260-5926. Ronnie is in North Carolina, listening to us on WSIC. Hi, Ronnie. What's going on? What's on your mind?

How you doing, Troy? I want to know, have you heard In some part of North Carolina, there were coffins floating up out of the grave.

Well, actually, that was in eastern Tennessee, Unicoi County. There is video that was filmed by a meteorologist of a casket that was bobbing up and down as it was just floating down the churning waters there. But yeah, I'm not surprised to hear that just based on the number of landslides and the movement of the earth in that part of the country. Uh that's terrible. That's really terrible.

Okay, I appreciate the help.

Okay, glad to do it, Ronnie. Thank you for calling in. Again, 901-260-5926. I want to play some audio here. This is J.D.

Vance, the last time he was on a debate stage was about a little over two years ago when he was running for the U.S. Senate. Tim Ryan was the senator at the time, the Democrat. And he was literally destroyed, just literally destroyed on stage. Cat 11, please.

As an exception. Look, I've always believed in reasonable exceptions. This is a misrepresentation of my view, but let's hear it from me, not from Congressman Ryan. I absolutely think the 10-year-old girl, the case that we've, of course, heard a lot about, an incredibly tragic situation. I mean, look, I've got a nine-year-old baby girl at home.

I cannot imagine what that's like for the girl, for her family. God forbid something like that would happen. I have said repeatedly on the record that I think that that girl should be able to get an abortion if she and her family so choose to do so. But let's talk about that case. Because why was a 10-year-old girl raped in our community, raped in our state in the first place?

The thing the media and Congressman Ryan, they talk about this all the time, the thing they never mentioned is that that poor girl was raped by an illegal alien, somebody that should have never been in this state in the first place. You voted so many times against border wall funding, so many times for amnesty, Tim. If you had done your job, she would have never been raped in the first place. Do your job on border security. Don't lecture me about opinions I don't actually have.

Wow, and that is how you do it. You see, he was able to get his point across. He wasn't mean, wasn't nasty, it was just straightforward. And just gutted that guy like a catfish. Good for you, J.D.

Vance. And I hope we see some more of that tonight. But again, you do not be fooled by the mainstream media narrative that Tim Waltz is about to prance into this debate. And cower in fear. All right.

Don't buy into that. Tim Waltz is very capable on the debate stage. This man has won plenty of elections, so he is nothing more than a shrewd politician. You know what I'd like to know, and I'm not sure the American people have been doing a deep dive into Tim Waltz. I want to know.

How does a guy Who was Getting a school teacher's salary. How is he able to visit communist China so many times? I'm fairly certain that Spirit and Southwest don't have direct flights from Minneapolis to Beijing. Pretty certain of that. I'm just curious, how is it that Tim Waltz is able and has been able to afford to go to China so many times while he was a school teacher, before he got into politics, before he got elected?

Why is it that this guy was over there so much? What's going on there? We've heard the stories of the ties that Tim Waltz has had to the communists in China. But it certainly is worth exploring. Maybe they bring that up tonight.

I don't know. Anyway, all right, gotta take a break. 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation honors our nation's greatest heroes, their sacrifices, and helps our nation to never forget.

Mario Nelson was a special man who respected and loved America. Mario joined the National Guard after 9-11. He volunteered to help with the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Later, Mario and his wife had a daughter. Motivated by his 9-11 experience, he enlisted in the U.S.

Army. Sergeant Mario Nelson later deployed to Iraq. Just two months shy of coming home, he was killed in action at the age of 26. Thanks to the support of friends like you, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation delivered a mortgage-free home to Mario's wife and daughter. In their darkest hours, that home brought them stability, peace of mind, and a place to call their own.

Do good in honor of heroes like Mario, heroes who put their lives on the line for our country, our communities, and the freedoms we all enjoy. Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnell to Towers at t two t dot org. That's T the number two T dot org. All right, we are getting some reports in that Iran has launched this. Missile attack, ballistic missile attack on Israel.

This information just coming in, we're going to keep you updated on this. I am telling you. These are very dangerous times right now. President Trump just issuing a statement. The world is on fire and spiraling out of control.

We have no leadership, no one running the country. And this is true, by the way, all right? We literally have no one leading the country. He goes on to say, we have a non-existent president and Joe Biden, a completely absent vice president, Kamala Harris, who is too busy fundraising in San Francisco, a city which she and Gavin Newscomb totally destroyed, and staging fake photo ops. No one is in charge, and it's not even clear who is more confused: Biden or Kamala.

Neither has any idea what is even going on. President Trump is right here. The lack of leadership and hear me on this. And I know it's fun to poke at Joe Biden looking like some sort of a bloated, beached sea mammal Out there on the you know with the uh the leathery skin, I get that. But the reality is our enemies see that too.

Our enemies know that this man has no idea where he is, or who he is, or what he is. They get that. And they have no respect at all for Kamala Harris. Period.

So they think they can take advantage of us, and they are.

Now Donald Trump goes on, writing this, this just we're just getting this seconds ago. When I was President, Iran was in total check. They were starved for cash, fully contained and desperate to make a deal. But what happened, folks? What happened?

Keep in mind, you have to go all the way back to the to the Obama administration. These people were super pro Iran. Valerie Jarrett, one of the closest confidants of the Obamas, her family came from Iran.

So there is that connection there. And what did they do during the Obama years? They gave Iran. Pallets of cash. Pallets of cash.

And here's what Trump goes on to say. Kamala flooded them with American cash, and ever since, they've been exporting terror all over and unraveling the Middle East. This is absolutely correct. Under President Trump, we had no war in the Middle East, no war in Europe, harmony in Asia, no inflation, no Afghanistan catastrophe. We had peace.

This is the messaging that has to be conveyed tonight during the debate. Trump goes on to say it's no surprise that Iran wants desperately desperately wants Kamala Harris to be president because they know as long as she is in power, they can take advantage of America. That is why they have tried to target me. Keep in mind. There are reports of at least five babies, six.

Iranian sniper teams somewhere in this country trying to kill President Trump.

So again, the Israeli Defense Forces are now, and here we go, we're getting some new intel. Iran is expected to launch as many as two hundred fifty missiles in two waves at four targets in Israel, including Mossad headquarters and three air bases.

Now this information is coming from Israel. This is from our friends at Newsmax, coming from an Israeli source and a senior U. S. administration official Israel is not expected to launch a preemptive strike. We understand it should take the missiles less than 15 minutes to reach the targets once launched.

The U.S. and Israel have all defenses activated and Israel will absolutely retaliate after it happens.

Now, if you remember back in April, remember the April attack where they had the drone strikes? Those were crazy. About 99% of those were actually intercepted. The numbers here, that's about double that.

So there were only about 100 and some odd missiles that were fired in April. This is double.

So they're expecting as many as 250 missiles from Iran. Ladies and gentlemen, we are on the brink of World War Three here. These are very dangerous times right now. And our country has been weakened. Our military.

Has been dangerously weakened. If you do not believe me, listen to the people that call into this radio program who live in areas where there are military bases. Listen to the veterans. Who call in? Listen to the moms and dads who have sons and daughters in our military.

This is all about diversity, equity and inclusion now. Under Obama and Joe Biden, They have marginalized and weakened the US military.

So I say that we as a nation are in right now a very dangerous position. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

I mean, if you disagree with that, I would love to hear from you, and I'd love to hear your reasoning because we have had so many lawmakers come onto this program and tell us. There are big problems within our military right now.

Now here's the question, ladies and gentlemen. And this is a big decision for the Democrats. And I want you to hear me on this. The question is, should the United States Defend Israel. Should the United States get involved in this war?

And I asked that question because There will be powerful forces at work within the Democrat Party who say, we got to stay out of this because they need the Islamic radical vote. They need all of those Muslims. Voting Democrat. And they're very much afraid that if. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.

Decide to get to to get into this war. against Iran and Hezbollah that it could really Hurt their choi their chances of being elected. I'm just telling you. Those discussions are being had right now inside 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It's an ugly situation.

I say We should be doing whatever is necessary to protect Israel. They are the most cherished ally we have in the Middle East. They're the most strategic ally. We have in the Middle East. And I truly believe that That God will bless those who stand with Israel.

I just believe that. I read my Bible, I go to church, I see what the Bible says, and I believe that God. will bless those nations that stand alongside Israel. And every time, I don't know if you thought about this, those of you who go to church, those of you who read your Bible, where the scriptures talk about how these mighty nations will wage war with Israel and yet their mighty weapons will fail. And I thought about that last April as missile after missile after missile was blown out of the sky.

It it just I don't I don't know why. No, I'm not being prophetic or anything. I'm just saying it reminded me of those Bible verses. All right, nine oh one two six zero five nine two six is our telephone number. Let's go to Charles in Iowa, radio station KXEL, big blowtorch out there in the Midwest.

Hey, Charles, what's going on? Hi, Todd. I wanted to call about the debate tonight. I really want to see JD Vance really, really focus in on economic issues, especially gas prices. He's just got to show that how Biden cut oil production by sixty-three percent since taking office.

I mean, I don't need to be an economics expert to know that if you cut oil production by sixty-three percent.

Well duh. gas prices are going to go up. He really needs to hammer him on that. You know, the challenge, Charles, and you're right, that's a great point. I did notice over the past week or so, I don't know what it's like over in your neck of the woods, Charles, I noticed gas price is actually going down quite a bit.

There's a lot of politics in just about everything, Charles.

So it's a great topic. It's a great question. There are a lot of others I'd like to see raised as well. But, Charles, that's a good one, and I appreciate you calling in. Thank you for listening to us in Iowa.

Try one other thing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, one other thing. I made that statistic up.

Oil production is actually Charles. Yeah, we're done here, Charles. We're done here, Charles. Guys, take Charles off the air, please. Thank you.

We're done here. 901-260-5926. What I'm saying is that they do play politics with this kind of stuff.

So They raise the prices, they lower the prices. By the way, you want to talk about another issue here. And it's what's happening with this longshoreman strike.

Now, something doesn't smell right about all of this. The last time the longshoremen went out on strike was back in what, the nineteen seventies? Yeah. And these guys are making a ton of cash. I think the average longshoreman pulls in well over $100 and some odd thousand dollars a year, plus over $30,000 in benefits.

And they're all out on strike. The strike started last night, and they're going to play hardball here. The longshoremen are going to play hardball. What I find very fascinating about this is that the timing of it. and I wouldn't put it past the Unions to be in cahoots with the Harris campaign.

And I could foresee a time and bear with me on this, there could be a little time of suffering for the American people. Because nothing's coming into those ports. Nothing's going out of those ports. But it's the stuff coming in that we need to be concerned about. And prices are going to go up.

We may face some shortages. Things might get pretty ugly leading up to election day, right?

So we've got about three and a half, four weeks to play with here. When that happens, don't be surprised if maybe the week or a few days before the election, Kamala Harris swoops in and reaches some sort of historic Decision agreement with the Longshoremen's Union, and all of a sudden she becomes the Savior. Do not be surprised if that happens. I'm just telling you. All of these folks, I don't trust it all.

The timing is just really weird to me. All right, we've got to take a quick break here: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern show. All right, welcome back, everybody. Real quick, before we go to the phones, I want to circle back to something that Charles said. Charles from Iowa called in, and he's one of these prank callers. He's not a very good prank caller.

And he set up his whole thing by lying. All right. So. I want to go back and circle back to what he said, because there is a sliver of truth, but it's what we call misrepresenting the facts here. Yes, Joe Biden has presided over a record breaking, I think twelve point nine million barrels of oil a day.

We are the largest oil producer in the world. But the thing is that Biden had nothing to do with that. There's absolutely nothing that Joe Biden did. That made that a hampin. But what Joe Biden has done is he threatened to shut all of that down.

He said, and again, this is a direct quote. He said he would quote: in fossil fuel, we know that he killed the Keystone pipeline. he canceled Federal lease sales and also existing leases. And he also launched a regulatory assault on fuels that provide four fifths of the nation's energy. And the issue here is we could be producing even more.

But it's because of Joe Biden that we are not. Let's go to Karen in Tennessee, WTJS, our great affiliate. Hi, Karen. What's up? Hi, Karen.

I mean, hi, Karen. That's me. Hi, Todd. Um I was listening to you and I agree with what you were saying about we had better wake up. as to what's going on.

Um Karen, I'm just curious. I mean, because I hear a lot of this from these woke preachers out there.

Well, we have to care for the least of these. Yes, I agree, but we have to care for the American least of these before we care for the foreign least of these. The woke people can go jump in the lake as far as I'm concerned. We don't need woke people. We need United States of America, people.

Do you know what's going on? What? I saw on Facebook where they're going to be sending our troop From Kentucky. the Middle East. How about taking care of our people?

Did they have been hit? By this Yeah. that are not being taken care of. North Carolina is in pieces. In Tennessee, the roads have been A lot of the interstates have been destroyed from the flood.

We need help here. And the people need to wake up. Karen, do you realize at this very moment? That they have mule packs, right? Packs of mules that they are literally leading up into the mountain communities filled with supplies, medicines, things like insulin, because there's no way to get a car, there's no way to get a boat up there.

They're literally having to go old school, and they're bringing in the mules to mule in to get in those resources to some of the mountain communities. I mean, here we are in the 21st century, and you're right. Most of our military personnel are sent overseas taking care of other people's business while our people suffer here in America. Is that fair? No, it's not.

And it's like North Carolina. All they're taking care of is those Pardon me, Democrat cities. The rest of the people, you know, where's the National Guard? Where's people? Our people helping our people.

I was talking to the mayor of Blowing Rock, North Carolina yesterday. We had him on the Newsmac show, and the mayor told me flat out that he had seen zero, zero resources from the federal government. That's just unacceptable. And the fact that the mayors and the lawmakers don't even have communication, they don't have a way to communicate with, that's just, it's not right. They have a Democrat governor who's not doing a thing for 'em.

Karen, you're 1,000% right. And let's hope that changes on Election Day. But I'm telling you, I'm really concerned about voter turnout, especially on the western side of the state, if people are even going to be able to get to the polls. And I say that because this is not a matter, folks, of just repaving a road. This is a matter of like rebuilding the first, you've got to move dirt to get these bridges back in place.

I mean, some of these roads are just gone, just completely gone. Karen, thank you for the call. And they can All right, thank you. All right, Karen.

Sorry about that, Karen. But I'm telling you, this is going to be a long process. I am curious, though, about Mark Robinson, the lieutenant governor. He's actually acting more like the governor than the current governor is.

Well done, Mark Robinson. I'm curious, you North Carolinians. I know many of you are conflicted about whether or not to vote for Mark Robinson because of all the crazy allegations and whatnot. But the guy has pretty much suspended his campaign, and now he's out there and he's helping with the recovery efforts, getting much-needed supplies in. Even if he doesn't win, I think the guy goes down, and you got to respect what he's doing right now there in North Carolina.

All right, we're going to be taking a break here momentarily, but I do want to tell you, we're going to be following the breaking news from the Middle East. This is going to get ugly, and it's going to get ugly fast. And you need to make sure. And I just. Let me just say this.

You need to make sure that you have a transistor radio. You have an ample supply of batteries, and you've got a way to listen to the radio because when it hits the fan, this is going to be the only way that you're going to be able to get news and information through your local radio station. And I think the good people of North Carolina are discovering that, and we certainly respect all the radio stations that are still on the air. God forbid this war gets out of control over there. You need to make sure that you have a way to stay in touch.

And that you have access to news and information. And that's the reason we are on the radio right now. All right, I don't want to alarm anybody. I'm just saying it's always good to be prepared. All right, we've got to take a quick break here: 901-260-5926.

Again, 901-260-5926. Hey, our website is ToddSterns.com. Go check it out. You're going to love it. We'll be right back, America.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starn. Yeah, welcome, everybody.

Great to have you with us. Hello, and thank you for listening to the Todd Starns Radio Show. I want to bring you up to speed real quick on what's happening in Israel, where it's getting pretty dicey here, folks. We understand from the IDF that as many as 250 ballistic missiles have been fired at Israel. Also, we understand there's been some sort of a shooting involving terrorists in Tel Aviv.

We understand there are as many as nine people may have been killed.

So the shooting began as soon as Iran started firing missiles into Israel. President Trump has weighed in on this and condemning it and also condemning the U.S. response. We're going to keep you updated on this. A developing story, a very dangerous situation.

In the Middle East. To say it's a powder keg is an understatement. All right. I want to go right now to the Patriot mobile newsmaker line. Always honored to have our friend Bill O'Reilly joining us.

He has a brand new book out, Confronting the President's: No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden. We're going to talk about the book in just a moment. Also, the host of No Spin News and the O'Reilly Update. Bill, hope you're doing well today. Thanks for having me in, Todd.

How are you? Good, good. A lot happening with what's you've got the longshoreman strike. You've got the disaster. You've got the debate tonight.

Now you've got this shooting war over in the Middle East. Where do you start, Bill?

Well, the news cycle is always this way, particularly when there's five weeks to go before a presidential election. I think we have to as journalists step back and just let The specifics come out.

So I can't analyze the Israeli Iranian situation now. I have to know exactly what happened. We should know that, I would say, by early evening. I did say and I continue to believe That if Iran provokes Israel into a full gauge military conflict. That might be the end of the mullets.

Because the Iranian people are going to suffer dramatically, much more so than the Jews would. because of the technology advantage that Israel has. Takes out the ports. And there are four of them in Iran. They can't get oil in and out because people starve.

So It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that the mullahs would take on Israel. In a full-fledged war, but you know, you know what the Middle East is, it's absolute chaos. No, no, it is. And I tell you, it's amazing when you look over the years at how Iran has stood up and stood in the face of just destruction. And yet, they persevere, and the people are strong.

And look, it's been a pretty amazing thing to see, especially over the past couple of weeks, this James Bond kind of stuff going on, you know, with the pagers exploding and the whatnot. You got to respect their intelligence services over there.

Well, Israel has been in the business of surviving since nineteen forty nine. And they understand that there's nobody going to help them. Other than the USA, and certainly the Biden administration has not been a great help to Israel. It always perplexes me. that so many Jewish Americans support and continue to.

the Democratic Party when the Republican Party and Conservatives much much more pro-Israel. Um So, Israel is on its own. It knows it, and it has to develop the highest level of technology and. Mossad and their defense forces, and they have done that. Bill, looking at the debate tonight, it's interesting looking at the headlines from the New York Times, Newsweek, CNN.

They're all downplaying Waltz and his performance. Say, you know, at CNN, Waltz fighting nerves ahead of the debate tonight. I mean, this is a seasoned - say what you will about his mannerisms. This guy is a seasoned political operative. He's been around for a couple of decades in politics.

How do you think this is going to play out tonight?

Well, I don't like to speculate, Todd, but I can tell you that uh the heavy odds are that the governor will go after uh Senator Vance personally.

So we'll hear about the cat ladies and the eating dogs and cats and every controversial thing. Vance has ever said, it'll be thrown in his face. not only by Walls, but also by the two CBS moderators who are both ardently left wing women. And I'm not saying that in a disparaging way. But that's who they are.

And so you got a three against one situation a lot like you had with the Trump uh Harris uh debate.

Now Fancy's got to know that. And if he allows himself to be put on the defensive by Cocker Spaniels, Then he'll loop. If he keeps it in. uh the policy zone Wallace has got nowhere to go. Wallace has got no policies at all, none.

In fact, he screwed up the state of Minnesota, particularly after the George Floyd killing. And his policies are more radical left than Kamala Harris.

So Walsh has got nothing. And Advanced Expresses that. He'll win in the back. I'm with you on the policy stuff, and I know it's frustrating to see, and I'm a devoted Trump follower, and he'll get my vote in the fall. But these personal attacks I don't think are helpful.

I heard you last night, saw you last night on Legal Inveterate Show. And what is it about the messaging here? Am I off base here, or does Trump need to be doing what he's still doing? Donald Trump is an emotional guy. and reacts to whatever is put in front of him emotionally.

Uh that has hurt him. We should be seven, eight points up. because the way he governed for four years in the White House was fairly beneficial to the country, and there's no doubt about that.

So if if somebody tells you that Trump did not govern effectively, he was go real wages were up more than seven percent. under Biden Harrison down more than three. It's a ten point swing For the people going to the grocery store.

Okay, so that's that. The argument's over. You didn't have the turbulence overseas, you didn't have an open border, it's not even a close call. But Donald Trump reacts to Personal slights, he overreacts. He's always had.

And it helped him in sixteen. He was able to channel that energy and that defensive posture into the swamp is corrupt. I'm going to fix it and he won. But now it's a different time in history.

Now he should be the statesman. But he's not. and therefore he could lose. I look at how he handled himself down in Valasta, Georgia in the destruction of the downtown area and saying, we've got to put politics aside. We've got to help these people.

Let's stop for a moment of prayer. And I'm thinking, yes, that's the presidential look right now. And again, when you look, when you take away everything else, it's the policies. And Bill, I'm just really concerned if Kamala Harris gets into the White House, what she could end up doing to this country. It'll be um It'll be gruesome.

That's a word. Look, you mentioned my book, Infringing the Presidents, opened at number one on the New York Times list on Sunday, the 19th. Number one bestseller I've had. That must have been the New York Times great joy to put my name at the top of the list, don't you think, Todd? Oh, yeah.

Anyway. In the book, we go over uh Trump and Biden They are obviously the last two presidents or forty-five profiles. And I say they're no spin, they are no ideology in this book at all. It's all who they were, how they performed. I don't rank them.

So anybody reading confronting the presidents, you rank them. You're smart enough to know whether what we're telling you and what we're telling you is one hundred percent true. All right, is good or bad for your family. in your country. You are smart enough to do that.

But with Trump, what you get is a unique presence. And he doesn't rely on advisors. He doesn't. go into a traditional campaign moat. Whereas Harris ducks.

Harris does nothing that Kamala Harris says. That is spontaneous. Nothing. one hundred percent is rehearsed, has been told to her, she's memorized it. Trump is 100% spontaneous.

But the spontaneity is undisciplined. And that Curtis. There was one other president who was like that, and that's Andrew Jackson. Interestingly enough, Trump's favorite president. Andrew Jackson.

Jackson was emotional all day, every way. All right. People loved him. He got a second term. All right.

It's not unprecedented what Trump is doing. And that's why it's important for Americans who love their country to read the book confronting the president, because then you can see how everybody handled it, how everybody got there and what happened afterward.

So the election is impossible to call. You can't do it. There are trends up and down. You mentioned Valdosta.

Well, a day later, then there's Trump saying that Biden is denying Republicans aid. For this storm. Right.

So, yeah, one day he's good, and then the next day he says that, and there's no backup. There's no backup for it. It's true. runs wild with the no backup knot. The good things he did.

I love what you wrote, though, about Biden. And this is really fascinating because you're right. I mean, there's really been a stunning reversal of who this guy was back in the 70s and 80s when he was, I guess, I was just a kid in junior high school back then, but it seemed to me he was kind of one of these conservative Democrats, right? It was just an interesting guy back then, but all of his viewpoints have changed now. He was a blue dog Democrat, but once you get to know Joe Biden, You know that he's a man of no seasons.

Remember that movie, A Man for All Seasons? Yeah. Thomas Moore.

Well, Biden is a man of no seasons. He doesn't believe in anything. but his personal circumstance. And that's absolutely dot. You can document it right down.

to his Catholic faith. I mean, he's a promoter of abortion. He promotes it. He just doesn't defend it. And You know, there he is going to Mass and putting his hand out for communion.

It's insane. You can't do that. That is one of the Most defined tenets of the Roman Catholic Church. Abortion is murder. Grievous sin.

And then he's promoting it?

So I'm only giving that example, not to personally attack the President, but to tell you he doesn't believe in anything. And therefore, he was manipulated the last three and a half years by far-left progressives who run the White House, and they'll run Kamala. Because she She's on light bike. He is a true progressive believer. She she believes this stuff.

All right, she's Bernie Sanders. And when you say it's going to be grisly for the country, it is. Unless the Republicans can hold the Senate and the House. And that will blunt a lot of the destructive stuff that she would want to impose.

Well, we've got just a couple of minutes and I know that you also d do a a a deep dive into the the role that many of the First Ladies played in history. Any anyone that that stands out for you in the book? Um Well, a lot of them. I don't do any deep diving. I'm a scuba diver, but I got a little tank on.

So I hate those cliches. I hate them. And every press person uses them. Oh, deep dive at the end of the day. Hey, come on, you know.

Um The most fascinating first lady There are three of them. Edith Wilson, who ran the United States government for a year and a half after her husband Woodrow Wilson had a stroke. and we totally incapacitated, and nobody knew it. Nancy Reagan. who absolutely had total veto power.

over who got to her husband. If she told Ronnie You're not seeing Gorbachev today, you weren't seeing Gorbachev today. And Jill by single-handedly kept him in office. I predicted eight months ago that he would not run again. First national commentator.

I knew that because I went through with my own mother. The condition that he had. And then, after he failed in the debate, I told my audience, which is now. 20 million worldwide. I said he's done.

The chief things, that was the word I used. or the Democratic Party have decided he can't run again.

Well, Jill Biden delayed it for three weeks. by absolutely saying we're not moving anywhere.

So the three Edith Wilson, Nancy Reagan, Jill Biden, very powerful women. All right. Great stories. Not a deep dive. Great stories, though.

And folks, you'll be able to read it in Bill's new book, Confronting the Presidents. Again, on the New York Times, number one on the New York Times bestseller list. Bill, congratulations. Great book. I appreciate it, Todd.

Thanks for having me in. Let's talk again soon. All righty. Bill O'Reilly, everybody. Again, the latest book, Confronting the President's No Spin Assessments from Washington to Biden.

All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. Let's go to the phone lines here: 901-260-59. No, wonder what no, we were talking in the break, and it was just sort of laughing about it. Bill took offense at the word deep dive.

I mean, it was a lot better than saying, well, your book is shallow, right? I don't want to be, didn't want to be rude. It's book launch for crying out loud. Anyway, all right, let's go to Mike in North Carolina, WSJS. Hey, Mike, what's going on?

Hey, Dodd, good afternoon. I'm sorry, I'm fired up. I just wanted to ask you one quick question. If you think North Carolina changed its name to Ukraine, that we would get more funding here and more help, for the love of man, I can't tell you they're not helping us out at all right now, Todd. What's going on here is a disaster.

And they're no where's Camela Harris? She was in Greensboro a couple of weeks ago. Where's she at right now? Why doesn't she come to North Carolina? These mountains mean a lot to me.

I'm sorry to get so fired up, but I love my mountains. I love North Carolina. And how many more people do I have to see missing in signs of families that are missing and communities that are devastated and We're not getting any support that we need. Mike, it's these are great questions. Honestly, if I were the mayors of every single town out there in Western North Carolina, I'd be flying the Ukrainian flag right now.

And I think they would move heaven and earth to get whatever those people needed. To be perfectly honest with you, Mike, it angers me. It infuriates me. Everything you just said and the passion, Mike, it is righteous indignation. And I think not only every person in North Carolina ought to be enraged over this, every person in America ought to be enraged because if this could happen in Western North Carolina or in Southwest Georgia or Florida, it could happen in your community, and your government's not going to be there to pull the fat out of the fire.

That's right. If this happened in New York City, it'd be front page of the news all over the place because these Democrats would be running with it. It happened in western North Carolina, these mountains. This is where I propose to my wife. I love this state.

We need help. All we need is help. We're not asking for too much. Come help us out. We need help.

And they don't want to do anything. Kamala Harris was in Greensboro a couple of weeks ago. She can't even show up in Asheville. It's a fair point. And Mike, you and I both know as much as we love the West.

And look, I love that area. We have vacation there. For years. As much as I love that area, and there are so many conservatives. You and I both know that Asheville is as liberal as the day is long.

But I don't even wish harm on those people. We've got to take care of our citizens, liberal, conservative. It doesn't matter. We've got to take care of them. Mike, you hang in there and God bless you, brother.

901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. And welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show.

A lot going on around the world, ladies and gentlemen, as we're watching developments unfolding across the Middle East. Iran firing as many as 250 missiles against Israel. We're going to keep you updated on that. I want to play some audio from yesterday. I just thought this was a really special moment.

You had. Uh Franklin Graham. Leading a prayer. In Valdosta, Georgia. Cut number one.

First, we want to respond always in Jesus' name. And we want people to know that God loves them, that God cares for them.

Sometimes when a storm like this comes, people think, well, maybe God is mad at us. Maybe this is his judgment. No. God loves us. How do I know that?

Because the Bible tells us that God loves us and cares for us. And yes, there are storms in life. But God will take us through those storms if we put our faith and trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. Thank you, Mr. President, for coming and helping to put a spotlight.

On this city, this state, and this region that has lost so much. Thank you. May God bless you, Mr. President. Yeah.

Yes, we will say link right over our town. I've been asked if I would lead in a prayer. Our Father and our God, we come today to say, Thank you for these men and women who are here as volunteers. Thank you for the president who has taken time to come and to see it for himself, to shake hands, to encourage. And to smile in the faces of people that have been hurt and devastated by this storm.

Father, we ask for help. Father, we pray that as we come to this election. that your will be done. And so, Father, we Pray for the President, strengthen him, protect him. Father, we thank you, and as in Jesus' name, We pray this prayer.

Amen.

Well, amen there. And thank you, Franklin Graham. By the way, Samaritan's Purse, we are helping them raise money, raise resources. If you would like to volunteer, you may not have money, but you'd like to volunteer. Maybe you would have some sort of a, I don't know, a chainsaw, or you've got materials that might be helpful.

All you need to do is go to ToddStarns.com and click on the Samaritan's Purse link, and you'll be able to donate. You'll be able to help out the good people there, not only in North Carolina, but also across the entire region.

So, again, do that. If the government's not going to step up, we are. And we're proud to stand alongside Samaritan's Purse, our good friends over at the Southern Baptist Convention, their disaster relief services. And it's just really outrageous, by the way, and we'll get into more of this in just a few moments, but we're getting reports now out of North Carolina, especially. Especially that the federal government is stepping in And they're preventing locals.

from helping with rescue efforts. That's unacceptable. And we're going to get to more of that in just a moment. I want to go right now to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, say hello to Tommy Pickett, who is the Communications Director, Strategic Comms Director at the RNC, a member of Team Trump. Tommy, good to have you with us today.

Hey, thanks for having me on. All right, so let's talk about the debate tonight. What are you guys expecting here?

Well, I think what we're expecting to see is JD Vance to make the case for why we need President Trump back in the White House. And I think conversely, Tim Wallace has a really high bar that he needs to meet because the Kamala Harris campaign has refused to really detail any of her proposals despite the very long and radical record that she has.

So Tim Waltz has to both defend Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's record while explaining why Kamala Harris is lying to the American people, and then also defend his own failed record.

So I think it's a high bar for Tim Waltz to meet. And I think J.D. Vance has the advantage because, one, he's a great debater, and two, President Trump has the record to back up the promises that he's making to the American people. Are you buying into the headlines, though, Tommy? They're saying, oh, Tim Waltz is nervous about tonight.

He's rattled. He hopes that he doesn't screw up. We're talking about a guy who's been in politics for a long time. He's a shrewd operator. And so I'm wondering if the media is lowering expectations.

What is your take on this guy? Yeah, 100% they're trying to lower expectations. I mean, don't forget that Tim Wallace has engaged in debates before. He's engaged in congressional debates. He's been involved in politics.

A very, very long time.

So they're trying to lower expectations, and I think it's because they want to say if Tim Walls doesn't paint on stage, somehow he's won the debate. That's not the reality though. Tim Walls needs to explain Kamala's record, needs to explain what they're going to do. And the problem is that the plans they have are not popular. Kamala's record is a failed record.

So they're trying to lower these expectations so that when Tim Walls dodges questions, when he doesn't answer questions, they can explain that away. I don't think the American people are going to stand for it though. And I think they're going to see a clear contrast between J.D. Vance and President Trump's record being presented by J.D. Vance versus Tim Waltz and Kamala Harris refusing again to answer basic questions about what they're going to do and directly lying to the American people about what both Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have said in the past.

Tell me, how concerned are you guys about what's happening in the Carolinas right now, especially? I mean, this is a major region that overwhelmingly supports Donald Trump, and it's going to be hard getting those people out to a ballot box on election day. I mean, they don't have any roads over there now. Yeah, of course, our first concern is the human aspect of making sure that people are okay and making sure that they get relief that they need. Of course, our prayers are with all the victims.

Of the storm, President Trump visiting and seeing areas affected by the storm yesterday, again, showing up for the American people. We're going to make sure that when it comes to Election Day that we're getting people out to the polls, our first priority is though making sure that relief is delivered. And then making sure that if Kamal Harris and Joe Biden fail to provide the necessary relief, they're being held responsible for it to make sure that this story doesn't go away, that Kamal Harris and Joe Biden can't. sweep it under the rug that people get the help they desperately need. All right.

So heading into the final stretch here, Tommy, polling data seems to be all over the place. What is the strategy of the campaign as far as these battleground states go?

Well, the strategy is basically twofold from the RNC and Trump campaigns perspective. First of all, making sure that people get out to vote. And President Trump is going out there, making sure that people know to make their plan to vote. We have that grassroots operation to make sure that we're partnering with people across the country, people that are in these communities, so that people have that plan to vote. That's the Trump Force forty seven effort that we're really partnering with grassroots.

And then the second is as those people get out to vote that we have an unprecedented protect the vote effort. This is National Poll Watcher Week, for example. And the RNC and Team Trump have recruited over 200,000 poll watchers, poll observers, to be part of this effort to make sure that we have an unprecedented election integrity operation going into this final strip. Is that enough? I would never say that's enough because we're always recruiting more, but it's unprecedented in American history.

So that's also in combination with our rapid response legal operation. It's in combination with the over one hundred lawsuits That we have engaged in this cycle.

So, I would never say that's enough because we're pedal to the metal, but it's twice what we had expected to recruit, and it's something that we're building on every single day. And I encourage everyone to get involved at protecttheboat.com because we can never have enough. We definitely need more. All right, Tommy, we're going to leave it there. Appreciate the great update, and good luck tonight.

Thank you. Thanks for having me on. All right. Tommy Piggett from the RNC, Strategic Comms Director there, also a member of Team Trump. All right.

So there you go, folks. It ought to be a great debate tonight. If you haven't found a debate party, I know there are a lot happening all over the country, and that's always a lot of fun to get together with your fellow conservatives and hang out. But again, this is going to be somewhat overshadowed by what's happening in Israel right now, and it is ugly. Want to give you an update on the latest on that.

That mass shooting, at least 10 people dead, now 20 injured over in the Tel Aviv area.

So that's um. That's not good. That is not good. All right, we're going to take a quick break here, folks. Again, our telephone number is 901-260-5926.

We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. Good to have you with us. There's a crazy story out of Colorado, and I want to share this with you. And I'm curious if this is happening in other school districts around the country.

Something tells me it is.

So there is a school there in the Cherry Creek School District.

Now, that sounds very wholesome and patriotic. Does it not Cherry Creek?

Well, anyway, this is in Greenwood Village, Colorado. A teacher is now suing the school district. The teacher says that he was forced to undergo A required diversity training class. We had to go through those at Fox. I'll tell you about my experience momentarily.

So, this teacher went through the required diversity training. He's a white guy, by the way. That's important to the story.

So, anyway, the teacher said that he was asked a question about. Being white. What an odd question. But anyway, the teacher responded by saying that he does not identify as white, he identifies as an American. who believes the US is the greatest country in the world.

Wow. I'm shocked that a school teacher would say something like that. I love that. That's great. Anyway, the School District's equity director.

got triggered and reported the comments to the principal. And said these comments have racist undertones. All right, so this is what he said. He identifies as an American who believes the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.

How is that racist? What's the racist undertone? The district later eliminated the teacher's position, citing budgetary reasons.

Sorry, got no money to pay you for social studies. We got to eliminate that course.

So, anyway, there's a law firm, America First Legal, and they're representing the teacher. They say they think this is all being done in retaliation. And they're saying that the guy was fired. In essence, the guy was fired. They say the school district violated the First Amendment rights of the teacher.

and when they fired him for his pride in the United States of America. And they say th his pride in America did not align with the school district's political ideology that America is a systemically racist nation. According to attorney Ian Pryor, he says, like other school districts across the country, Cherry Creek has replaced the Bill of Rights with the DEI manifesto. It's true. Teachers, students, and parents are now being silenced for standing up for the values that make America great.

The school districts uh they're not commenting on the Ho ho ho ho ho. May I just suggest this? Defund the school district, right? Defund the Cherry Creek School District. I know they sound wholesome, but those cherries are rotten.

Bad cherries So That should be our philosophy here. And maybe if Trump does get reelected, maybe, just maybe, the one great thing he does is abolish the Department of Education, return control of the schools back to the local communities, and then We the people can deal with this nonsense. Just seems to me, first of all, at the very least, the diversity and equity department needs to be eliminated. That's the position position that needs to go. The other part of it.

The other part of it is, if the schools are going to mandate all of this stuff, just simply defund the schools. No more tax dollars for your school district. It's really that simple.

I'm just telling you. Coming up in the next hour, by the way, we're going to be talking to Congressman Chuck Edwards. We're efforting a call, Congressman Chuck Edwards from North Carolina. Also, we're going to be talking to the Chief Executive Officer of Goya. The bean people, I love their beans.

Very tasty food. Anyway, the CEO is a big time Trump supporter. He has a brand new book out called Blessed Donald Trump and the Spiritual War. How the battle for the soul of this country began with one word. Wow.

That's pretty awesome.

So, anyway, looking forward to speaking to the Chief Executive Officer of Goya. Did we get any product to sample? I love sometimes they do that, you know. The people over at the community coffee sometimes do that. I'm just I know, I'm just asking.

Oh, um, Kamala Harris.

So yesterday, she was. She was talking about how much she loves Doritos. Pardon me, Doritos. And now she was asked a very interesting question about the national anthem.

So here is Kamala Harris, and the question involved whether or not people should stand for the national anthem or kneel for the national anthem. Tot number five. Should folks stand for the national anthem? Yeah. I think that one of the beautiful things about our country.

Is that Beliefs were founded on certain principles. That we articulated in 1776. We are all and should be treated as equals. We articulated those principles in our Constitution. And part of what we decided is what makes a fair and just and noble Society.

and a democracy, a true democracy, is freedom of religion. Freedom right of association, freedom to organize First Amendment. Uh So that is part of who we are as a country. And I will defend it to the core, which is that we give people certain choices in this country. What in the sweet name of Mother Liberty is this woman talking about?

You could use an entire bottle of Hidden Valley ranch salad dressing, and it still would not wash down that word salad that she just spewed out. What in the world is going on there? But again, it's a very simple question: yes or no? Should people stand for the national anthem, Vice President? Yes or no?

Should people stand for the national anthem?

So her answer is no. That's the answer. She doesn't have the courage to say it. But that's her answer. She could have said, you know what?

Yeah, people have a right not to stand, but that's disrespectful. It's demeaning to our troops. And it's a slap in the face to every person who's put on the uniform of this country. She could have said that, but she didn't say that. That is really awful.

All right, we've got some more combo here, so we're going to have to save that for the next hour of the program. But there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The woman who wants to be the next President of the United States Does not have the courage to say yes or no that people should stand for the national anthem. That tells you everything you need to know about this woman. These are radical, radical progressives.

You heard Bill O'Reilly say that. I mean, these are radical leftists. And having this woman in the Oval Office would destroy this country. I'm with Elon Musk, by the way, on this. Elon Musk says Kamala gets elected, there will be no more free elections in the United States of America.

And I believe that. I believe that. This is all part of a grand scheme and plan that was hatched by Barack Hussein Obama and his ilk. and it happened long before the two thousand eight presidential election. This is a very slow and methodical takeover.

Of the United States of America. That's what's going on here, everybody. All right, got to take a break here. We'll be going to your phone calls as well: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

Our website is ToddSterns.com. And if you haven't done so, download our free podcast. You're going to love that thing. We'll be right back, America. La live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee.

It's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clanging, deplorable American. That's us! That's right. I love this American. Todd start.

Alright.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the big show. Good to have you with us, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. Hope you're doing well today.

Well, we've got a lot going on this hour. In just a little while, we're going to be talking to the CEO of Goya, a big, big Trump supporter. Also, we are following developments out of Israel, Iran firing missiles.

So far, none have actually landed or made. Impact in Israel. Which is great news.

Meanwhile, here in this country, you've got a lot of folks that are very upset. And many of them are saying that the administration is responsible for what happened in western North Carolina.

Now, I want you to listen to a mayor from North Carolina, and he's really upset because of the cellular service and the lack of it in the region. And the reason why is because of the administration's policies regarding climate change.

So, therefore, cellular service in some of the mountainous regions is not as strong as it could be because of the tree huggers in the Biden White House. Cut number two. I want to read to you something that the mayor of Canton, North Carolina, said, talking about the frustration that a lot of people feel about the lack of communication. Here's what he said. It is unacceptable and disgusting that in our time of need, cellular service for the entire region is locked out.

There's no excuse for that. I mean, we knew the storm was coming. I can't believe this is a normalcy. Is this a Systemic problem? Is this something that is going to be more and more normal as we see more and more devastating storms?

What do you say to people who are desperate to find out whether people they love are still alive? I well understand the concerns expressed. These are people in the midst. Of a tragic hurricane. That is precisely why we and others have been deploying communications resources to ensure that communication is reinstated as quickly as possible.

The reality is That the severity and frequency of extreme weather events are only increasing.

Okay, well, that's simply not true. The last time there was a flood of this magnitude in North Carolina was back in 1916.

So what's the hold up? What are they waiting on? By the way, shout out to Congressman Corey Mills out of Florida. I like this guy. He's a decorated Army combat veteran, and he has been personally overseeing.

A rescue effort in North Carolina.

So, Congressman Mills today is going to be in the communities of Poplar and Burnsville, North Carolina. They dropped off, get this 4,000 pounds of supplies. They've got a big chopper, and they're dropping off thousands of pounds of supplies in these areas. He says today they're going to be focusing on hoist operations and welfare checks to the areas completely cut off and most impacted by the storm. And by the way, you folks in North Carolina, a very simple question: Are you satisfied with the federal government's response to the disaster?

You people in Florida. Are you satisfied with the government's response? And the same goes for you folks in Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina. Are you satisfied? with the way the federal government has handled this.

Our telephone number, by the way, is 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

I've got to share with you this amazing story. There is an organization called the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch. And uh they're based there in North Carolina. And their mule teams are being used right now to help families in need. You may not be aware of this, but But it is nearly impossible to get to some of these communities.

In some cases, it is impossible to get there by roadways, which are gone. Gone. And so many people are now without food, they're without water. They're without medicine. And the Mountain Mule Packer Ranch is actually organizing teams of mules.

And they're hauling in mules.

So, if you've got one, you might want to look these folks up. And they are using those mules. to get supplies up the mountains. They're also working in conjunction with our friends over at the Cajun Navy. And they're really appreciative of the incredible support they're getting from the community there.

This is it's really kind of an exciting thing to see.

So, anyway, right now, a tractor supply, by the way, is they're donating a lot of stuff. Love to see that. And they're getting a big shout out. Also, and I want to share this with you. And again, it's just almost surreal to see these images of these guys on horseback leading these mules up the mountainside.

One of the first families they were able to help was in desperate need of insulin, and the mountain mule packers were able to get up there and get the insulin to that family. It's just the most wonderful thing I've ever seen. This is truly an American, it's American ingenuity, right? We're going old school. As the Muyanta Mule Packers wrote on their website and they got a great Facebook page, I would encourage you to go check this out.

They call them beasts of burden, but we call them our beloved mules. They are capable and willing to work in many conditions, most won't. They are not stubborn, they are wise and require respect. They have had many roles in their careers, from hauling camping gear and fresh hunt, pulling wagons and farm equipment to serving in training, the best of the very best of our military special forces, carrying weapons, medical supplies, and even wounded soldiers. This week they are ready to work with us to help many in need after the devastation of the hurricane.

We are blessed and grateful for each of the mules. On this team. Man, I just I just love this.

So anyway, um The good news is help is on the way, folks, for those of you that are still trapped. Help is on the way. Let's go to Baxter in Georgia listening to us on WDUN today. Hi, Baxter. What's on your mind?

Hey, Todd, thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to reiterate what CNN said yesterday. that President Trump seems to be more of a President right now than Joe Biden. Here he is in southern Georgia. deliver a plane load of goods Delivering a g a from what I heard, he's going to have a tanker full of gas brought down to that area.

And working with Samaritans' purse, my wife and I sent them some money. We were looking for somebody to send it. Anyone want to send money? You can send it to Samaritans Purse. It's a Franklin Graham organization.

They work worldwide for disaster reduction. Yeah, we've been promoting them for the past couple of days now. Great, great people. I love your show. I listen to you all the time when I get a chance every day when I'm out in the car.

But anyhow, he's going to North Carolina. Is it true, Todd, that TEMA, the Tennessee Emergency Management Association, told the people not to help each other? There are re Yeah, there are reports. Don't bring him down, guys. Yeah, there are reports of that happening.

Yes, Baxter. Oh my God, and and now I've heard this guy on he said they're doing the same thing in North Carolina, Western North Carolina. I mean, people wanting to bring stuff and they're telling don't bring it. Yeah. It's just incredible.

And I've heard tales. Have you heard about Asheville mayor and them not even helping the people? And they look around and not seeing hardly any law enforcement? I mean, Florida has to send the National Guard to North Carolina. Great, Dave.

What's going on, Todd? What's going on is This administration and the government, they don't care about us, Baxter. As hard as that is for people to understand, they don't care. There's no reason for our troops to be dispatched anywhere, our National Guard troops, they should be right here in America helping Americans. There's no reason why the military could not muster support out of Fort Bragg to get those emergency supplies in to help our fellow Americans.

There's no reason. No reason. As a matter of fact, and by the way, it's not just, Baxter, it's not just. The the Democrats here. Do you realize that over the past couple of days, Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, has tweeted about the UN, Israel, Iran?

Defense spending? Not a word about North Carolina. And by the way, he represents a large swath of Appalachia, right? Not a word about it. Because those people, people like us, do not matter to the folks in charge in Washington, D.C.

And that's why we've got to get Donald Trump back in there, Baxter. I just well I believe it will. Todd, you know, um we get it from reliable sources way back from starting in twenty seventeen that this is going to be the roughest month that we've we've seen in a long, long time. But when it's when the smoke clears, Trump's going to raise that fist and say fight, fight, fight. The fight begins now for real.

And there's going to be a lot of changes in America, and I'm looking forward to it. I really believe that with all my heart, and I pray every day that it's going to happen, I believe it. Yep, I do too. I do too, Baxter. Appreciate that call and thank you.

Let's go to Gil in Georgia, W-D-U-N. Hi, Gil. What's on your mind? I just got back from North Carolina as a matter of fact in Jackson County. And I would like to make a shout out to the several thousand National Guard, not just the Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas that are Have been working very hard there, but understand that in North Carolina alone, there's thirteen other states' National Guards that are operating right now.

And they're only able to do that because, frankly, the federal government has been very responsive with the money to do that.

So we've got thirteen different states, National Guard, including the aviators flying the helicopters, That has been uh Working hard the last several days, and they've only been able to do that due to federal funding. Yesterday and today, both, I watched the press conferences of. The governance of Florida, Georgia, and both Carolinas, as well as their adjutants general, but their state emergency managers, and not once have they said. That they need more federal resources to do what is honestly a state mission here. They're doing a state mission, it belongs to the state, they're doing a good job.

I haven't heard any of those state leaderships, including our Republican governors in Florida and Georgia. Say that they're not getting what they need from FIFA.

Well, and that's well, that's true in Georgia, I'm sorry, in Florida, and I don't know about Georgia, and that may be the case here, but the level of destruction in North Carolina is off the charts. And it does require assistance from the federal government, which is why we fund these agencies, you know, when something of this nature happens.

So there's a big difference between, and I don't want to minimize the damage at all in Valdosta, for example, Gil, but this is what's happening in North Carolina, you can't even compare it, which is why we've got to get as many people in there as possible to rescue these folks. Agreed, but it needs to be coordinated, and that's where the governor of North Carolina, the Adjutant General of North Carolina, need to be asking FEMA for that. And if they're not, that's bad on the state. But what you don't want is two Two or more discoordinated events where you got federal military helicopters and National Guard military helicopters. Trying to operate at the same airspace, having coordinated between each other, or tapping off the same limited logistic resources like aviation fuel.

And that's fair enough.

Well, and that's true. That's true. My concern is we're at day five right now. This should have already been coordinated. There should have been some coordination.

And the fact that you've got people now going in, I know you've got Samaritan's Purse, you've got Send Relief, which is the Southern Baptist disaster relief program. And they're really one of the best and one of the largest in the country. Those are the folks in the yellow shirts. You know, their boots on the ground, reaching out to people and feeding and clothing and providing showers. But you're right.

There does have to be coordination. And, you know, for whatever reason, there's a problem in North Carolina right now. Gil, appreciate that call. Folks, we do need to take a quick break. 901-260-5926.

That's 901-260-5926.

And I'm just going to read this to you, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Here's what Tima had to say: While local communities appreciate the volunteer spirit during disasters, please do not send donations that have not been requested by state or local authorities. All caps. TEMA is not accepting volunteers or donations until the life safety mission is complete. Tennesseans.

Do not self-deploy to disaster areas. This will hinder response and recovery operations. And then they have a little graphic attached: please do not collect or send donations to affected areas in East Tennessee. Really? That just.

It seems to me that flies in the face of the volunteer spirit. And I'm a. I'm a proud Tennessean. And we have a great history and legacy in this country. When people need something, we go to help them out.

For example, when Texas always gets into some sort of a spat with somebody, we go in and we pull their fat out of the fire. You're welcome, Texas. We're happy to do that for you. Yeah. Hashtag Alamo.

So I'm just saying, we Tennesseans, that's who we are. That's in our DNA. We want to help people. We always want to go out and volunteer and do what we can do. That's why they call us the Volunteer State.

Yeah. And that's why we have that beautiful trademarked orange colors.

So you can see us coming. And when you see that beautiful trademarked orange coming at you, you know that help is on the way. But now, now our government leaders in a heavily Republican-controlled state are saying, No, we don't need you. The government's taking care of it. All right.

And that leads me to another story. Where is up? Here we go.

So there is a gentleman. Who is a helicopter pilot? And he wrote this on his social media page, and it's starting to go a little viral. Anyway, he was he was helping out rescue people who were trapped. He was in the process of extracting a lady from a collapsed mountainside.

And because of the unstable environment, the guy left his co-pilot on the ground to stay with the husband. When she was brought to safety, authorities came over and told the guy If you go back. We're going to arrest you.

So The pilot says My co pilot is currently flying me back for more fuel. I've attached the list of needs. I was just in it today. It's very long. Hopefully they change their mind about asking for help before it gets worse.

The guy says, Thanks again for all the support and the prayers. Fellow pilots, be safe out there. Anyway, the guy's basically going to ignore this. Um and it's really sad. This was happening over in the Lake Lure area, which is.

I'm hearing of some horror stories. Coming out of that lake. And it's just we won't talk about it today. But just horror stories. But what's going on here?

So, the federal government has been late to the disaster for day five. You've got these private pilots out there, people flying their own helicopters in, actively rescuing people, and local government officials are now threatening to arrest these individuals. I'm telling you folks, you don't hate your government enough. This is insane.

Now I understand that you've got to protect people and you've got to be safe about it. But if you own a helicopter and you're willing to go in and pull somebody out of some sort of, I don't know, collapsed mountainside, You should be honored and saluted. We should be filling up your tanks free of charge. That's what we ought to be doing, instead of threatening to throw you in jail. And I suspect that these pilots are going to risk that.

They're going to say, you know what? If you want to throw me in jail, throw me in jail. But they can't do that. And you want to know why they're not going to throw these people in jail? You want to know why they're not going to be throwing these pilots and these other volunteers in jail?

Because there are no jails. They all got swept away.

So, anyway, we salute you, the great volunteers that are out there. Doing the Lord's work. Good for you. Good Samaritans, one and all. All right, gotta take a break.

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Cearn Shift. I don't know. All right, welcome back to the phones. Let's go to the show. Let's go to the phones.

Wow, it's only Tuesday, isn't it? Let's say hello to Mike in Tennessee, listening to us on KWAM, our great flagship station. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind? Greetings, Todd.

Everyone needs to go read Article 1, Section 1 of the Tennessee Constitution, which clearly articulates the powers with the people. The people created the government. The government is there to protect our rights, not to dissolve them. And if the government ever becomes detrimental, it's the right and the duty of the people to alter or abolish the government.

So when a government official tells you to stop doing something which is beneficial to you and to protect life, they're out of line and you're to ignore them. And those people that trained the police in Memphis, they got it all wrong. Day one, they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, and six months later, some FBI rolls in there and says, hey, somebody quoted in the Constitution, they're a danger. You need to realize that those people are a threat to you, and you might need to shoot them.

Well, you might need a what? They teach the people at the Memphis Police Academy to fear people that can quote the Constitution.

Okay.

Well, I don't know about, Mike. We are, yeah, that's kind of in the weeds for this conversation. We're talking about providing, we're talking about providing necessities and saving people's lives in North Carolina. And if the state constitution or the Tennessee Emergency Management Association is coming in and saying, you know what, we don't need you people to help your neighbors. You know, if your neighbor's house is on fire, don't pull out your hose, call the fire department.

That's a load of hooey. That's a load of nonsense. And I get your point about the Constitution because we do have a constitutional right to help our neighbors. It's outrageous. All right.

Mike, appreciate that call. And thank you for listening. 901-260-5926 is our number.

So our next guest is. Probably one of the most awesome American patriots I know. And the beans he makes are pretty awesome, too. I'm just going to tell you. He's got a brand new book out.

Blessed Donald J. Trump in the Spiritual War: How the Battle for the Soul of This Country Began With One Word. I want to welcome to the program for the first time the Chief Executive Officer for Goya, our good friend Bob Unonaway. Bob, what an honor to have you with us today.

So, Todd, it's an honor to be on your program, and thank you for having me. And you're too much. You're too much. And Bob, I know that you guys, we've been talking about this horrible disaster affecting a lot of the southeastern United States. I know that you guys at Goya have been a part of that big effort and just the generosity and the compassion that you guys have for our fellow Americans.

Well, Todd, yeah, we always have been. In fact, during COVID, I offered a food to the the nation that was you know, the food banks were empty and But we've always been a part of the community Today with uh So Women for Trump and Lara Trump, we are working with them plus other entities and ourselves in the Carolinas, Florida and and Georgia because it just been devastating uh the The death and and the the destruction is just that is too much. Isn't it fascinating, though, Bob? Yesterday, I thought we saw a great example of the two presidents. You had Joe Biden out on the beach, suntanning, Kamala Harris fundraising, Donald Trump.

In Valdosta, Georgia, boots on the ground, meeting survivors, leading the nation in a word of prayer. That shows me an America first presidency versus an America last presidency.

Well, Todd, you know, uh This book that you mentioned I wrote, Blessed Donald Trump and the Spiritual War. it's really a fight for the soul of this country. And I think I was at the White House to deliver food back in twenty twenty, july ninth, twenty twenty, and to be a commissioner in the Hispanic White House Commission for Hispanic Prosperity. which was has been fired from by the Biden administration. But You know, I was able to give away food.

two million pounds turned into five million pounds. But I said something Uh very bad. I said that we were blessed to have a President like Donald Trump, who's a builder. And Uh I had You know, had similar praise for Barack Obama and Michelle Obama back in the day with. a MyPlate program with Portuguese for a healthier America.

But having you can say blessed or you can have praise on on one side, but not on with President Trump. And I really believe the the Holy Spirit put the word blessed on my lips, and I think The Holy Spirit has had not only our company, which suffered a boycott and then a boycott, But on President Trump. who has had two assassination c attempts And I believe God is protected. uh the President because He is the person, I believe, who and I believe it's been predicted that will bring this country closer to God. we're in the middle of Hispanic Heritage Month.

And The United States is the second largest Latino country in the world. But the Latino population Is the most victimized as far as trafficking and drugs. It's a multi two hundred fifty billion dollar business, this business of trafficking. and drugs. It's exploded under this administration.

And when the Latino is the biggest victim, The woman Seventy percent of people trafficked are women. 25% of children. Last year there was a testimony by Tyrell Lee Rotis that said the U.S. is the middleman, we're profiting. or for bringing children in and handing them off to sponsors for sale.

So we're complicit in this. And I can't understand how A woman A candidate for the uh presidency. I call her. The chief exploiter because he's exploiting women and children who are bringing. people into this country for exploitation.

We're bringing criminals into this country. that are just destroying this country. and giving all them benefits Uh we have to work more than half a day so others don't have to work. And we're tired of being as Latinos being exploited. And I think this Okay.

you know, exploited by an economy, it's exploited by the trafficking and Enough is it up. I think the Hispanic vote It's gonna Turn the tide. We are blessed by this President Trump. You know, it's interesting. Bring the country closer to God.

Bob, it's interesting. NBC News has some new polling data out. They did a joint poll with CNBC and Telemundo, and they show that the support among Latino voters for Democrats is the lowest of the past four presidential cycles. And I'm wondering what is it? That's driving that support to Donald Trump and away from the Democrats.

Well, one of the number one issues is the economy.

So the Latino is the working class or entrepreneur also. But we're suffering, all Americans are suffering. But the Latinos, I believe, are suffering the most And they're sick and tired. The Democrat Party for them has abandoned them. there are very good people on both sides, but this administration They've killed us with an economy.

inflation and also the exploitation of the border. We're bringing criminals into this country. And we'll bring in children to be exploited, women to be exploited. And the the the the borders are a woman Is the chief exploiter. in in bringing The exploiter in chief and exploiting women and the Latino community.

So they're sick and tired of it. God. Bob, I want to talk about your book, and I am a fellow Christian, and I believe that God has a plan for President Trump. I'm not prophetic. I just, when you see a man who has survived not one but two assassination attempts, and yet he is still out there and it looks as though he is fearless, I think this is a man that is, he may not even know it, but I think he's on a spiritual journey right now.

You know, Todd, Todd, if you look at these back in the eighties, the Hermit of Loreto, and Loretto. Italy, where they carried Mary's house, the house of the Annunciation. uh to Italy But Herman of Loretto predicted in the eighties that Donald Trump would lead this country Closer to God. And I believe God, you know, I used the word blessed that was put on my lips by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has his hand on President Trump.

And then you fast forward to July Uh thirteenth, which is after the book was published, or written And at six hundred eleven, which is Faith Paul to the Ethesians, Says Put on the armor of God against evil.

So I believe. God's hand turned the President's head at that moment. to look at that graph. And we are blessed by this present. We're all blessed.

We're We need to love each other. We need to There's just too much hatred out there. And and this This administration is about hatred, it's about exploitation, use and abuse. of of the most vulnerable and the weakest. And, you know, it's That's what the book is about, the spiritual war.

which has awoken uh hatred and and but it's also called for the presence of God in all of our lives, and that's going to Dominate over everything. We will win this battle. I'm so hopeful and confident of that. Yeah. You know, loving each other.

And caring for each other and getting our values from God, not from a flag, not from a letter, not from a furry, getting our Value from God. not from anything else that's imperfect. That's it. I mean, it really is that simple, Bob. I mean, it really is.

I want to ask you, going back to the generosity that comes out of your company, what is it that compels you to do that? Because, I mean, you guys are, you know, you're in the money to sell product and make money, and yet you're so generous, and I'm wondering why that is. Motata as an immigrant. Community, and we're all immigrants in this country. But you know, you kind of stick together.

You know, the Italians are here, the Asians are there, you know. The Latinos And we're the second largest Latino country in the world, but My grandfather left Spain at seventeen years old. He went to Puerto Rico. He came He came to this country And as as An immigrant You hang on to the traditions of your home. And it is family.

When your family is affected, And we know we're involved in in many things.

So you know.

socially and and uh The arts But when it comes to When there's a disaster, when when people are in need. When our neighbor is in need, We are present as family. Our slogan as Gloya Foods is La Grande Familia Goya, the great Goya family. And but we're f a family of uh our community. And not just the Latino community.

The American community and the world.

So, you know, we We are in Europe, we are in the Caribbean, so We tend to do this also wherever we are, wherever we have a footprint. to reach out and B family. Uh to to our brothers and sisters. I love that. And congratulations on the book.

And, folks, we have a link to it over on our live show blog, ToddSterns.com. The book is called Blessed: Donald J. Trump and the Spiritual War. You're going to want to get a copy of this. It's an incredible read.

Bob, we're going to have to leave it there, but God bless you. We'd love to get you back on sometime soon. Thank you for your voice, God. Bless you. We love you.

And, you know, such a great voice needed today, especially in this country and in the world. All right, ladies and gentlemen, the Goya Chief Executive Officer Bob Unanoway joining us on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. 901-260-5926 is our number.

That's 901-260-5926.

Real quick, let's go to the phones here. Dale in Georgia, listening to us on WDUN. Hi, Dale. What's on your mind? Hey, what's going on today?

All right, Dale. What's up? We're down here in Lincoln, Georgia, and we've been like this for about a week. And there is nobody in Lincoln, Georgia got any power. All the grocery stores, everything shut down.

And nobody's ever mentioned LinkedIn, Georgia. But it'll be another three weeks before anybody has any power cleanup or anything. And we haven't seen anybody in LinkedIn, Georgia helping out.

So I'm not well, I'm not familiar with what happened there, Dale, but what happened in Lincoln? Oh, that's when the hurricane came through.

So the hurricane came through.

Okay.

I've watched the news. Yeah, and I've watched the news and everything and dang, nobody said nothing about Lincoln, Georgia. You know, that's up above Augusta, Georgia.

Well, I know that Augusta got hit pretty hard, and so you're saying that many people in your town, your community, still know power. All right, I think we got. No power, no anything. I mean, it looked like a.

Well, like a bomb went off down there. I mean, it's real pitiful. All right. Well, I'll tell you what, Dale, we're going to look into it, and we'll find out what's going on, and we'll alert authorities as well to the situation there. And I'm sure the police are well aware, and we'll follow up on that, Dale.

Appreciate that call. Hang tight, everybody. Got to take a break. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody.

By the way, give you an update. Looks like about 180 or so missiles were fired at Israel, none of them doing any damage to speak of.

So there's some minor windows blown out, but that's about it.

So we're waiting to find out if and when Israel will attack or respond to the attack.

So we'll keep you updated there. We're going to have. Uh live updates uh tonight, later tonight on my Newsmax show. 5 o'clock Eastern. By the way, you've got to download the free Newsmax app so you can watch my show.

It's 5 o'clock Eastern. We have a lot of fun. Millions of people, folks, are abandoning other conservative news outlets, and they are joining up at Newsmax. We are now the fastest-growing cable news channel in America. And you also, and by the way, we're the only one where you can actually own, become a partial owner in Newsmax.

If you want information on how to do that, go to newsmaxinvest.com. That's newsmaxinvest.com. If you have a credit card, you can even buy shares of Newsmax with your credit card.

So, again, the website newsmaxinvest.com. And be sure to consult with your attorney, financial advisor, all that kind of good stuff. And you too can be an owner. Also, later this evening, we're going to be doing real-time analysis over on the website ToddSterns.com. That's always a lot of fun, and it's always fun bantering back.

And forth with you guys. That's going to happen later on this evening as we do real-time analysis of the vice presidential debate in New York City. I'm excited to see J.D. Vance in action. You know, he's been out there on the road pretty much nonstop, and he has really done a terrific job lately of standing alongside Donald Trump and in handling a lot of the a lot of vitriol.

That's coming his way. By the way, folks, later this week, we're going to be broadcasting live from the Family Research Council's Pray Vote Stand Conference in Washington, D.C. I would love for you to drop by and be a part of our live show audience. You'll be able to watch the show in real time. We're going to have some great guests, it's going to be great conversation, and we're looking forward to seeing a lot of great conservative leaders there in our nation's capital.

Again, that's coming up Friday. We'll also be doing the Newsmax TV show out of our D.C. Bureau.

So it's going to be a busy couple of days heading into the weekend. And the final stretch, folks, this is it. We've got to be getting out the vote. We've got to be making sure we register, get our neighbors registered to vote, our family members Sunday school. It's all hands on deck as we head into the final stretch here of this.

Really important, and dare I say, inflection point in history. I think I've said that word every show for the past month because it really is. And by the way, I would encourage you, if you have not already done so, get a copy of my new book, Twilight's Last Gleaming. Can America Be Saved? You can get a copy on our website, ToddSterns.com.

You can get it on Amazon, wherever you buy your books. President Trump said it is the one book that you need to read before you vote on Election Day.

So, again, Twilight's Last Gleaming. Head over to the website right now or wherever you get your books to get a copy. All right, been a lot of fun today, folks. Busy, busy News Day. We'll see you at 5 o'clock on Newsmax.
