Dem Congressmen Storm ICE Facility, Attack Agents

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun toton, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. That's us, that's right. I love this American ride. Dutch starts for you.

Well. Hello everybody, welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Happy Monday to you, America. You know, it's really fascinating about today. This is a massive breaking news day on a lot of fronts.

And we've got a lot of ground to cover, and we have some great guests coming up. Our good buddy Steve Gill is going to be here from Nashville. Also, Harry Hurley from WPG in Atlantic City, New Jersey, is going to be joining us to weigh in on what happened at this ICE facility over in New Jersey on Friday. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is our starting point. where you had a Quite frankly, an insurrection take place at this At this immigration facility called Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey.

And you had these three members of Congress. Democrats And These are duly elected people representing their district. They're in. There in New Jersey. And then the mayor of Newark, New Jersey.

And they riled up this huge mob and they literally stormed the immigration customs enforcement facility. And in doing so, they were also filmed physically attacking ICE agents. And we've got the video. You can see it at ToddSterns.com over the weekend. I posted all of this on our social media feeds, and people are just enraged over this, and rightfully so.

Now the Department of Homeland Security wrote out a lengthy statement, and they said, quote, this stunt by sanctuary lawmakers puts the safety of our law enforcement agents and detainees at risk. One person was arrested. That was the mayor. His name is Raz Baraka, and he was handcuffed and detained, and then a few hours later he was let go. We do not know if the mayor is actually going to be charged.

Now the lawmakers here One of them, her name is LaMonica McIver. the other Bonnie Watson Coleman and the other Rob Menendez. Who's the child of an illegal, by the way?

So maybe he was there to see Daddy. We don't know. Anyway, when federal officers blocked the mayor from entering the facility, all you know what broke out. And witnesses said the said they saw it all. And it was very clear from the video that the lawmakers, the Democrat members of Congress, were the ones who stirred up all of this.

Elena Haba, the interim U. S. attorney, Confirmed that the mayor committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security. to remove himself from the detention center. She said he has willingly chosen to disregard the law.

This will not stand. He has been taken into custody. Nobody is above the law yet, but he's been let go. Governor Phil Murphy, the Democrat. Enraged.

About what he called the unjust arrest of the mayor. Congressman Dan Bishop. uh said that basically they committed an insurrection, which they did. Yeah. But here's the deal: if this was a typical American citizen and you did what those lawmakers did, you would be in a gulag somewhere.

That's like J6 level stuff. And just because you're a member of Congress does not mean that you're above the law. At least that's what the Department of Homeland Security is telling us. But, ladies and gentlemen, as you and I are sitting here having this conversation at this very moment, I can tell you that not a single member of Congress who physically attacked or stormed the ICE facility have been arrested or charged. Not a one.

And it seems to me that everybody who was there Talking about elected leaders and the civilians. All of them should have been arrested. All of them should have been taken into custody. At least that's my take on all of this. And that brings me to something that I find very troubling.

Is That It appears the Justice Department is not willing to go to those levels.

Now let me just say this. If you would have had a Democrat majority in Congress and you had Republicans doing this, they would have been in jail. They would have already been expelled from Congress. Yeah. That's how the Democrats operate.

And yet for whatever reason, the Republicans are simply the Republicans are just not willing to go there. The Republicans are not willing to do what needs to be done. At all. And that's incredibly troubling.

So I don't know what's happening in the Justice Department. I don't, and by the way, Speaker Mike Johnson over the weekend, it's another four-day weekend, by the way, another four-day weekend. And we have seen Republican lawmakers take yet another long weekend break. They're back home in their districts. As a matter of fact, Speaker Mike Johnson was photographed with some staff at the Home Depot back home in Louisiana.

I just have a question about. I don't know if you've seen the photograph. Who wears a full suit? with coat and tie to Home Depot, who does that? I've never seen anything quite like that.

So, anyway, ladies and gentlemen. It's it's really tragic because Clearly, there has been no statement coming from the House of Representatives, Republican leadership, not a single word of condemnation. Not a one, not a one. And what sort of message is this sending to all of the The other wannabe people out there that are literally putting Putting bullseyes, putting targets. On all of these Or on all of these people.

These ICE agents. What does it say about those people? And by the way, some of the language coming out of these lawmakers, they really do believe they have a right to punch and kick and shove ICE agents. They truly believe they have that right as sitting members of Congress.

Now, it seems to me a couple of things need to happen here. First of all, they need to be expelled from Congress and they should be arrested. Not necessarily in that order. Arrest them first and then expel them from Congress. But this kind of behavior just can't be tolerated.

But what's really troubling me is the lack of concern or anger coming from the Republican Party. As a matter of fact, Congressman McCall out of Texas says, well, we got to be careful now when we start going after members of Congress. We've got to be careful there. Really? We've got irrefutable evidence.

We have body cam footage.

So what's going on? And I just want to share a word of warning to all of you Republicans out there. You keep this up. You're going to be in the minority. By twenty twenty six.

It's really going to be that simple. This is a black and white issue for me. If the Republicans are not going to do the right thing, and I'm not talking about staging another hearing, I'm talking about irrefutable video evidence that shows The agents were being attacked by Democrat members of Congress. And if we can't do that. then I'm afraid we're going to have some big problems in the midterms because there are a lot of very unhappy Republicans right now who are fed up with the lackluster performance.

As a matter of fact, this Congress has done the least of any Republican Congress going back generations. And it appears to me. And I'm just I just call it like I see it here, folks. It seems to me like there is an intentional effort to slow down the Trump agenda. That's what I see here.

901-260-5926, our telephone number. We're going to be taking your calls on this. 901-260-5926. Do you want to see these lawmakers punished, or do we just turn a blind eye and let the Democrats do whatever the heck they want to do? 901-260-5926.

Hi, Jerry. What's on your mind today? How are you doing, Todd? Colin from Claremont, Georgia, just north of Gainesville. Claremont.

All right.

Well, that is a huge distinction. Yes, Claremont's a wonderful place. Yeah. Well, thank you. I just I told you, Screener, I'm just a little disappointed.

Today Uh All the negativity, Todd, with all the good things that are going on, and you open up this. Chewing out the Republicans.

Well, what are some of the good things going on? Because we've got a long show, and we're going to get to some of the things I think you may be talking about. What are some of the good things you're talking about?

Well You're hostage. Our final American hostage is coming home. That is correct. We have uh brokered. A deal?

Don't know this Specifics, but brokered a deal with China? Uh stock markets Right out the top today and uh Just a lot of positive stuff. And uh Like I said, I've noticed lately, though, you just really, well, I know. The Fox deal and the parting of ways, but Your own Pam Bondi? Your own Cash patel?

I sure am. And, Jerry, I don't know why you would bring up Fox News. That was five years ago, Jerry.

So, why are you bringing that up? Jerry? I know, but uh. No, let me explain something. No, Jerry, I'm going to explain something to you.

And you're right. All those things are very positive. But none of this matters if we lose control of the House of Representatives. And Pam Bondi has been doing a terrible job in the Justice Department. As a matter of fact, Pam Bondi should have already had these three lawmakers arrested.

I don't know why. Maybe she's got a good reason. She said she was going to be releasing all of the Epstein files. We're still waiting for that information. And, Jerry, when somebody comes out, and here's the deal, and this is how I operate on this radio program.

When an elected leader or a member of the administration comes out and says, we're going to do X, Y, and Z, and they don't do X, Y, and Z, you're absolutely right. I'm going to call it out on that.

Now, you can say that's being negative, but I'm trying to hold these people accountable. You know, we don't work off of any talking points on this program. We get out there and we stand up for the America First agenda. That's the only thing I'm supporting on this radio program. It's not about personalities, it's about the agenda.

Putting America first. And when I see The Republicans in the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate trying to throw a wrench into President Trump's agenda, you better believe I'm going to be speaking out on that. And really, for the past couple of weeks, Jerry, that's all they have been doing. They have literally been slow marching the President's agenda, and I don't like it.

And we need to figure out why. And part of the reason I suspect is because a lot of these lawmakers up there are bought and paid for. I mean, if you want to talk about exciting news, well, probably the greatest, most exciting news of the weekend came when President Trump announced that he was going to be issuing the executive order. cutting f the the prescription um uh med prices. By up to 80%.

That is a huge thing. But here's the thing: until we can codify all of this, it means nothing. Because the next president can step in and he can completely do away and reverse every single one of President Trump's agendas.

So, yeah, we got a lot to celebrate, but we've also got to make sure that the Republicans on Capitol Hill are focused and they're doing what we elected them to do. Jerry, thank you for the call. Let's go to Anthony in Alabama. Anthony, what's on your mind? Hi there, Todd.

I appreciate you taking my call. And I would like to say that you're one of the few people on the radio who has addressed A lot of this Stuff that's going on. And I've said this time and time again, and Jerry has some good points. But none of the stuff that they're doing now matters if the rot's not cleaned out. Because, like you said, another administration can come in here and change all of that.

And it appears to me that the Republican Party really doesn't have an opposition party. I can't really say that the Democrats are in opposition to them because they're almost like just another side of the same coin. And like I told your call screener, I don't know what to do about the Republican Party. Nobody they say it's going to be too hard to replace them, and where would that go? But if you look at it this way, if you're driving around on a car with four tires ready to blow out, Well, you gotta replace the tires.

You can't keep patching them up. And that seems like what we're doing. With the Republican Party.

Now, they have done some things around the edges, but the real meat. I mean, they had a woman in in New Jersey that evidently they got it on Camera that she body slammed a noise agent.

Well, you and I would have gone to jail.

Well, none of these people are going to jail. And if this isn't stopped, Uh it's going to be bad. Trump only has, what, three and a half years left. And he can't do this stuff by himself. And you just mentioned Mike McCall.

You know, he's one of the richest guys in Congress.

Now how did that happen? But I really believe that a lot of, like you said, a lot of these politicians or Republicans are bought and paid for, and they are just not going to fight for us.

So, what do we do about that? I mean, come election time, I don't even think they care whether they lose power. And you know what they say? If you don't have power, you don't use your power, you're going to lose it. And they're not doing a darn thing.

I'm really disappointed in Mike. Mike Johnson. Yeah, Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. I just saw a thing on Breitbart, not Breitbart, but Great Way Pundit, where he's. Smiling at a camera on a plane, what are they doing?

Whooping it up, having parties? What are they doing? They're not doing anything. Where's the tax cuts that were supposed to come? I just read that Trump passed more EOs.

And and This Congress is the Congress that in 70 years has done the least out of any Congress as far as Getting bills. To Trump's desk to sign. It really is the do-nothing. Anthony is the do-nothing Congress. I mean, it really is.

And I don't mean that in a flippant way. They're just not doing anything. And to your point, by the way, Mike McCall is worth almost $300 million. They say he inherited all of that money from his wife, who was a member of the family that previously owned what is now iHeartRadio. It used to be known as Clear Channel, the Mays family.

So, I mean, to your point, this guy is incredibly wealthy, $300 million, and he's a member of the swamp. I hate to break it to you folks in Texas, but he's a member of the swamp. And boy, wow. And you know what, Mr. Starnes?

You look at the Declaration of Independence, those guys. They were serious, and I always look at the part when in the course of human events. What are we going to do? We, the people? Um We're just not organized.

I mean, we go to vote, and it looks like that's about all we really can do. And these people know it, and they I think a lot of the Republicans are actually Democrats. No one wants to talk about that. They lied. They came in under the radar.

It's lawlessness. You see, you would go to jail. I'd go to jail for this stuff. You cross that yellow line out there, see what happens to you. But you're right.

No one of the nobody at the top is going to jail. I don't see any of these people being locked up. uh doing th these are assault Assaults, you you should be in jail for assault. These people are not going to jail, and I don't think they're going to see much change. And I fear that the Republicans are going to lose.

come and when the lecture was it twenty twenty uh 2026. I think there's going to be primaries and everything.

Well, it's yeah, it's the midterms. And that's what we're trying to get everybody focused on because it's going to be here before you know it. And we and Anthony, I appreciate your call. It's going to be here before you know it. And so we've got to make sure that the Republicans are moving quickly on Trump's agenda.

That's the issue here. All right.

Got to take a quick break. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Folks, we have some exciting news about my pillow.

This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Good to have you with us. And it is exciting news that President Trump secured the release of the one. Surviving American hostage from the pro-Hamas savages. And that is certainly exciting news, and that happening even as we speak here, and quite the celebration.

But again, promises made, promises kept from Donald J. Trump and the Trump administration. May I just say something here? About Marco Rubio, who is really becoming the star of the Trump cabinet. And I think a lot of people were really surprised by that, caught off guard by that.

But the reality is that Rubio has been doing a phenomenal job in working through a lot of these agreements.

So we'll keep you updated on that story. Also, If you were following this weird story over the weekend, Yeah. the royal family of Cotter. Or Qatar Announced that they wanted to give a $400 million 747, a Boeing, 747. To The Trump administration.

to America. And all you know what has broken loose as a result of all of this.

So. We're going to try to break this down and help you understand exactly what's going on here.

Now, a lot of this has to do with Boeing. And the fact of the matter is, they were supposed to have already delivered a brand new, a pair of brand new Air Force One jets. Those jets were supposed to have been delivered in 2022. Yeah. They still have yet to be completed.

And now they're telling us that the projected completion date for the New Air Force One jets. is going to be twenty twenty seven. But Boeing says there's no guarantee they're going to be able to meet that deadline. On top of that, it's costing an arm and a leg.

So originally, the original contract For the two Air Force One jets, three $3.9 billion, but they've already reported about $2.5 billion in losses. I mean this is This is embarrassing, ladies and gentlemen. Just embarrassing.

So, anyway, the current version of Air Force One has been in service for nearly 40 years, and President Trump is absolutely right to be angry over the delays. I mean, there's no excuse for this. And I want you to just think about something for just a moment. Boeing gets about 42% of its revenue from federal government contracts.

So that's why there's simply no excuse here. There's absolutely no excuse. They're offering excuses, but there's no excuse here.

So anyway, the so Qatar so enter Qatar. And they're offering this as a gift, which is outraging everybody on the left and the right. And people are really upset about this.

Now, the airplane is so opulent, the one they're offering, the royal family is offering President Trump, it's literally been described as a palace in the sky. And the White House says, look, they're following all the rules related to gifts, but when you're talking about a gift of that magnitude, I mean, we're not talking about like. A spoon from C-Rock City or Dollywood, right? We're not talking about a T-shirt from Branson. We're talking about a $400 million aircraft.

And even Laura Loomer, President Trump's most loyal follower and supporter, says this is off the chain insane. We can't be doing this.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. The White House says: look, we're going to accept this. It's a gift. It's going to go in the library. There you go.

The President describing this last night, he says, so the fact is that the Defense Department is getting a free gift is getting a gift free of charge, a 747 to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One temporarily in a very public and transparent transaction.

So it bothers the crooked Democrats. The Democrats insist that we pay Top dollar for the plane. The president said, I would not be using the plane. It would go directly to the library after I leave office. Caroline Levitt on Fox News earlier today says everything, all the details are still being worked out.

I just love the transparency. At least we know this is what's happening here. But everybody's in an uproar. What they ought to be upset about is Boeing. What are those people doing over there?

Why can't they deliver a product when they're supposed to deliver the product? All right, let's go to the phones here, 901-260-5926. Let's say hello to Amanda in the Texas Panhandle. Hi, Amanda. What's on your mind today?

Hi, Todd. I've been a listener since you were at Fox News, and so I just wanted to call in and say thank you for what you do. I listen to your podcast.

Well, thank you for that.

Now what part of the Texas panhandle? I live in Shamrock, Texas. It's a little biddy town a hundred miles east of Amarillo.

Well, we're very excited to be broadcasting in that area. We just launched on the radio station, and we're having a lot of fun getting to hear from our great listeners like you, Amanda.

Well, thank you. I appreciate it. And I've been thinking of Patty and praying for her.

Well, that is very kind. Patty from WSIC Statesville, North Carolina, one of our regular callers, and she's been battling a bit of an illness, and she's a tough bird. And so we're excited for Patty to get back on her feet again. And Amanda, I know she greatly appreciates what you just said. Yes, sir.

Thank you so much. All right, Amanda, thank you. And thank you for calling in and all of our brand new listeners in the Texas Panhandle.

Well done, all of you guys. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Do you have a problem with the. With the Trump administration accepting this beautiful new palace in the sky.

I mean, I see both sides of it here, but the Trump administration has been pretty open about it. And again, we've got to have an airplane. And it is sort of embarrassing, right? We go out to all these world events and we pull up in the old Buick. Everybody else is driving Jaguars and we're driving a Buick.

Nothing against Buicks. I'm just saying, you know, it's a. The plane's been around for forty something years. We can't build them. How long exactly does it take to build a new Air Force One?

All right, got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. Some big news, by the way. Iran in the headlines, now threatening to again wipe Israel off the map and destroy America. UN inspectors say Iran is close to getting nuclear weapons, maybe just weeks away.

But President Trump says that he is not going to allow Iran to get those nuclear weapons. He's even moved two aircraft carriers to the area.

So our friends over at Newsmax all over this story. Rob Finnerty covering it this week and exposing the real threat both to Israel and the U.S. Gotta watch it tonight, 8 o'clock Eastern. Rob series Stop Iran. And find out President Trump's secret plan to fix this.

Watch Finity on Newsmax on all major cable systems. President Trump says he watches Newsmax all the time, and you should too. You can download the free Newsmax app on your smartphone and sign up for Newsmax Plus to watch us anytime, anywhere. Millions are making the switch to Newsmax because it's real news for real people. All right, President Trump just a few moments ago getting a few chuckles as he explained how much.

Prescription drugs are here in the United States compared to other countries.

So many people that I've spoken to have either go to Mexico, they go across the border, they're getting their drugs overseas because they're so much cheaper than buying them here in the United States. Here's President Trump just a few moments ago. I mean, I'll tell you a story. A friend of mine is a. a business man very very very Top guy, most of you would have heard of him.

A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman. Uh seriously overweight. And he takes the fat the fat shot. Drug And he called me up. And he said uh President, he calls me president.

He used to call me Donald, now he calls me president, so that's nice respect. But he's a rough guy, smart guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but because he's got governments. President, could I ask you a question?

What? I'm in London. And I just paid for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it's not working. They said He said I just paid $88.

And in New York I pay $1,300. What the hell is going on? Yeah. It's the fat pill. By the way, that fat pill is massively expensive.

Is that the one there's one that melts your face and that causes your lips to puff up? If that's the one I'm thinking about here. But the president is not wrong. I mean, it's just absolutely insane. And when you look, when you look at the prices going all the way back to the 1980s, and that's really when we started to see the price of drugs rise, and then they've just exploded in recent years thanks to Obamacare.

And keep in mind that big pharma. They've got all of these lawmakers in their pocket and on their payroll. And that's why nothing's been done. Joe Biden predicted that he was going to take care of big pharma. Back when he was the president, it never happened.

It never happened. And isn't it interesting? Not a single word. Not a single word from anybody in the media about this. They're not congratulating, they're not condemning because they can't condemn because they're in the same boat as the super wealthy fat businessman that President Trump was just talking about.

Everybody knows this is a great thing, but the media can't even bring it upon themselves to say, well done, Mr. President. And just let me say one more thing. I want to circle back to something about the Republicans for just a moment. This is not about the Republicans, this is about protecting Donald Trump and his agenda.

That's all this is. And if we've got to call out the Republicans every single day on this program, we will do that if that's what it's going to take to get them to do the right thing. All right, I'm staring at a very disturbing video. Dylan, I'm sending this to you. You've got I just want to get your take on this.

I can't wait to see hear your initial reaction to what I'm sending you. There is a controversy brewing on social media. And there's a video of a woman in a very nice restaurant. And this woman Uh it's it this all happened on Mother's Day, and this woman has a A small child. I mean, the child looks to be about I'll maybe Two two years old, maybe?

I it's a it's a pretty big child. And the The woman is breastfeeding her child. At the dinner table in the middle of this very busy restaurant. And people are now remarking about whether or not it's appropriate. For this woman to do that.

What I find fascinating about this photograph, Dylan, is normally there is some attempt to cover up the photograph. Feeding station, if you will. And there is no attempt here. She has the full bosom exposed, and this woman. is uh feeding the child.

You okay there, Dylan? No, I'm not okay. They didn't give you any like warning before the video opened, by the way. It's just right there. The child looks too old to be breastfeeding.

I is it a three-year-old, four-year-old? I mean, he has enough hair. He is Usually, like the baby's too young. It doesn't have enough hair yet. This, yeah, this is a.

This is shocking. That is a yes, so the The um so here's the description. This woman received backlash for breastfeeding her kind of old child inside a restaurant on Mother's Day where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother's Day and their meals with their loved one. Do you think she deserved the backlash? And it seems like everybody's well, Carol says, our friend Carol Swain from Nashville says, he's a big kid and those are big breasts.

Anything for attention. Bathroom break, please.

So I again, I'm just wondering, do you You know, is that like the latest thing now? You just plop open your blouse and you, um, you know. It's kind of like a milking station. It seems like other people are there too, because there's like gifts surrounding her, like she's the mother of the Mother's Day celebration.

So like someone could have got her like a blanket or like a cover or just, you know. Over the shirt, maybe.

Some people are saying the child is five years old. It looks, I mean, it's an older child. Yeah, he's older. The ladies, Lori writing it, I don't care if you breastfeed or not, but that child is too old to breastfeed out in public. If you want to breastfeed the kid until he's five or six in your house, go ahead.

But that kid's. Oh, she says that kid's got to be three, four years old. He can eat food. That is true. Why aren't you eating solids right now?

Okay. Get the kid a yoo hoo if if wants milk. Get some yoo hoo. Yeah. Baby Boomer 714 says, I'm sorry, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think women should be allowed to breastfeed in public.

Either find a babysitter or take the kid into the restroom to feed it. Why should every other patron in that restaurant be made to feel uncomfortable just to accommodate one selfish woman? That is I Again, the only time I've ever seen this happen, you the ladies would cover up, they would have a blanket or something, but it seems to me this looks like it's out of a National Geographic special. And I don't know where they're eating it. It's kind of like a Jay Alexander's or, you know, Red Lobster's.

Something. Jeez and Lou. Speaking of that, and we'll get into more of this later on. There was mass chaos at restaurants across America over Mother's Day. In North Carolina, there was a free-for-all at the all-you-can-eat buffet.

one of these like a bonanza style all you can eat buffet. People are losing their minds. Here in Memphis, we had a there was like a free for all, massive fights inside a was it Jay Alexander's? And we're going to play some audio. The best part about it, there was some old dude.

I mean, it was like literally a melee inside Jay Alexander's, which is, it's fair to call that an upscale. You know, it's certainly not, it's a step above Olive Garden, I would say. Is that right, Dillard? Yeah, that's fine. That's fair to say.

It's a great place. I've been there. It's a very nice place. All that to say, it's not Chuck E. Cheese, and you would not expect to have the level of fighting and violence.

Yeah, and there was no Waffle House employees that worked there.

So unfortunately. And they say this is a cultural thing now. You know, it's happening in the Walmarts. It happens at the Waffle Houses. It happens at, well, Jay Alexander's and all you can-eat buffets, Chuck E.

Cheese, and they say it's all part of the culture. And it happens on Spirit Airlines quite a bit. for whatever reason.

So anyway, when the fighting was breaking out yesterday at Jay Alexander's, they said there was this guy and he must have been like in his late seventies, early eighties, had a World War Two, like a a military veteran ball cap on. And they say that guy Did not flinch. There were chairs flying, bodies flying, and they say that he stayed at his stool at the bar eating his steak. And that was it. And I guess he had probably seen, I don't know, he had probably seen that level of violence in Vietnam.

I'm just going to say, he probably was like, oh, yeah, yeah, this happened over in Nah. All right, gotta take a break here, folks. Hey, our good buddy Steve Gill is dropping by. The effeminate mayor of Nashville is sticking up for dangerous illegals. We're gonna taunt him about that along with some other stories as well.

901-260-5926. Also, want to hear from you ladies on this. Feeding story. We'll be right back. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr.

See ya. That's right. I love this American ride. All right.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns radio program. Happy to have you with us, hour two of the big show. And you would not think that Nashville, Tennessee was a hotbed. of illegal alien activity, but the reality is That just about every major American City is a hotbed of illegal alien activity.

By the way, President Trump over the weekend actually announced, what, 14 million? No, no, no, far more than that. I'll get the numbers in just a moment. The $14 million, by the way, was the number of illegals that Bill Clinton actually deported from the country. The Trump administration, so far, in the first hundred and what, 50 days or so, getting close to a 150-day mark, the Trump administration has deported about 130,000 or so.

Illegals. For us to be on par with the Bill Clinton deportation numbers, which is really where we need to be, we would have to be deporting upwards of 10,000 illegals a day. But I want you to listen to the mayor of Nashville, Tennessee. His name is Freddie O'Connell, and he has announced initiatives that are really going to crack down on what local law enforcement can and cannot do when it comes to illegals. Take a listen.

We'll be launching a new fund called the Belonging Fund. We want to make sure that the immigrant community in this town knows that we have their back and the fund will raise dollars that will support the needs of our immigrant community, especially those who've been affected by the ICE raids yesterday, providing funds to support child care, transportation, housing assistance, food and security, and really anything else. that they need. All right, well, let's go to the Patriot mobile newsmaker lines that held our good friend from Nashville, the great Steve Gill.

So Steve, what's going on there in Nashville?

Well, we've got Freddie, I love criminal illegals, O'Connell, who is not only doing his best to block local law enforcement from a sifting ice in rounding up and detaining and eventually deporting Criminal illegals.

Now, the Roundup has caught over 103 over the last couple of days. That have membership in gangs like Trinidad have previous deportation orders. Have other criminal activities they've been engaged in, either in this country or in other countries. And Mayor O'Connell and the activists in Nashville are pitching a hissy fit, wanting to make sure that local law enforcement does not insist In getting these people out of the country. And now he's added this fund, the so-called Belonging Fund, that he claims is to help immigrants, not illegal aliens, immigrants Which will extend to illegal aliens getting taxpayer-funded benefits.

to assist them to stay here and hide in our community.

Now keep in mind, Todd. That every one of these illegal aliens is committed a criminal act of being here and staying here illegally, but they are also in most every case. Piling on additional criminal activity if they are working, because either they're working illegally with their employer not. Providing their social security payments, committing tax fraud, or illegally hiring them, or they're using fake. Or stolen social security numbers to work illegally, which is identity fraud.

They're committing additional crimes if they're driving without a license, driving without insurance in Tennessee. The multiples of crimes committed by these people mount up again and again and again. And again, Democrat Mayor Freddie O'Connell loves them and wants to provide taxpayer assistance. All right, let me jump in here for a minute because one of the big challenges, and this happened during the Biden administration, there were plane loads of illegals that were dropped off in Tennessee. And I'm recalling the Chattanooga airport, these dark of night flights.

And you really do have to wonder how many illegals we're talking about now live in, for example, the state of Tennessee. My question is: how much of our tax money is being used to take care of these illegals here in the state?

Well, and it's not just the fact that they are filling our jails when they do commit crimes. They're filling our schools, either themselves or their children that we are paying education dollars for, using our emergency rooms, using our health care system, the number of levels of taxpayer dollars that are going to these people, in addition to what Doge has discovered in terms of the fraud and the abuse of Social Security and Medicare and other benefits. Going to illegal aliens, which is illegal as well. We don't know the dollar amount. And by the way, I don't think Bill Clinton deported 14 million.

The numbers never went down. If they were deported on paper, they either never left Or they came right back because the number of illegal aliens has not been reduced. until President Trump came in. And you are seeing some self support. But Todd, here's what frightens me.

If we're going to be giving them benefits here in Nashville, instead of self deporting and going home, they're going to be coming to Nashville where they can get taxpayer benefits and protection of a new Super Sanctuary City here in Nashville. But Steve, I want to go back though, because when you look at the the numbers, I mean, even according to the numbers, even George H.W. Bush deported more illegals than Trump did during Trump's first term in office. Again, I hear what you're saying, but the reality is that those other presidents did in fact deport a lot of people. Barack Obama did as well.

You're right. More people may have been coming into the country, but more people were going back out. And there was never the claim of but where's the due process? For those who like they're going to court and trying to stop these. And, Todd, how do you have?

due process for someone. Who has no identification? They didn't have identification when they came in. They're not having legitimate identification in most cases now. How do you provide due process for someone who came?

Technically. doesn't exist.

Well, you have Senator James Lankford out there, and last week he was conducting interviews saying that all of the illegals deserve due process. To your point, though, that due process should have happened before they broke into the country. By the way, the numbers, Steve, that Trump shared over the weekend, he said our country has been invaded by 21 million illegal aliens, many of whom are murderers and criminals of the highest order. You know, I would just look again at Nashville, where you guys have seen a massive uptick in crime. Do you think that could be playing a part in that?

So I think that's a big part of it. And keep in mind, we're constantly told by the advocates for illegal. aliens, criminal illegal aliens, because they're all criminals, they're all here illegally. We're told, well, most of them are good people.

Well, again, if they're driving without insurance, they're costing us. If they're using our health care and education facilities, they're costing us by their being here, but those that are in gangs Stealing in Sentinel, which kills 300,000 people a year. If they're killing people in drunk driving incidents, which we have about 3,000 deaths. every month drunk driving illegal aliens. That's another nine eleven every month that would not be happening if they weren't here.

If we assume that a bunch of the illegals are just good people wanting to illegally work and stay here, that's fine, but it's 10%. Are the really bad of the bad? If I had a bowl of MMs and I told you 10% of them are poisoned, would you reach in and grab a handful and eat them or not? Because most of them are okay. Steve, I don't get it.

A lot of folks are probably thinking Nashville, it is the hotbed of country music. You have a lot of conservatives there. John Rich, chief among them, a lot of the conservative organizations, Dave Ramsey, And yet, you have such a far-left city council. How is that happening in a place like Nashville?

Well, Nashville like Memphis is blue. And it gets increasingly blue as folks with common sense and conservative values move to the suburbs.

So Nashville is an island of blue in a seat of dark red that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump. And keep in mind, what is this disturbing to me, Todd, about the The announcement by Freddie, I love criminal illegals. O'Connell, the mayor of Nashville. His statement, his funds that he's creating. the silence of conservative Republicans denouncing his statement.

Where's Governor Bill Lee? Where's Cameron Sexton, the Speaker of the House? Where are our members of Congress and Senator Marshall Blackburn? They have been silent in denouncing this let's make Nashville more attractive to criminal illegal immigration by the mayor. Why the silence, guys?

You know, that is a fair point. And you're right. I don't think we've heard from the governor who is his name is Bill Lee, a Republican. You have a supermajority that controls the State House. And it does seem to me that this is if you're looking for an issue for them to speak out on, something like this would be one of those issues.

Why aren't they having a press conference today Denouncing the use of taxpayer funds and encouraging the same kind of activity as people like, well, the mayor of Newark. Being arrested. Maybe Freddie hasn't gone to an ICE facility and tried to invade it yet, like we saw with. Democrat members of Congress in New Jersey, the mayor of Newark. But is it too far behind?

He's apparently consulted with his legal counsel on what I can do to help the illegals. Without having Tom Holman come to town and try to prosecute me. But under federal law, what he is doing now is certainly within the purview of at least an investigation, if not an indictment. Wow. Are you hearing from citizens there in Nashville?

Are they buying into what the mayor there is trying to do? Absolutely not, but you've got the left wing local media trying to create a hysteria of sympathy for illegal aliens. Another story on the local Fox Station today that restaurants in downtown Nashville were having to close early this weekend because their staff was not showing up for fear that they might be rounded up.

Well, if you're here legally, you have nothing to fear. If you're here illegally, you should be self-deporting before your staying here prevents you from ever being legally able to come back. And again, you've got these sympathetic stories. That are trying to create sympathy for criminal illegal behavior. Keep in mind, Todd, the random Stopped that the Tennessee Highway Patrol was doing.

They stopped apparently 300 vehicles. and caught a hundred and three Criminal illegals, again, gang members, those that had deportation orders, and others. If one-third of random stops for producing criminal illegals beyond just being here illegally. How big is the problem? It's a great question.

And on that note, Steve, and one other, and I'll get you to weigh in on this, another big issue. Has been these truck drivers, long-haul truck drivers. And you've got organizations like Amazon that have been going out there and hiring very unqualified individuals. One of those involved in. A crash that was so horrifying, they're still counting the injured and dead over in Chattanooga on Interstate 75, where an Amazon truck just collided with seven other vehicles on the interstate.

He's been charged, the driver, 65 years old, facing a dozen more than a dozen charges. We're still trying to find out if this guy is in the country legally or not, but that's been a big issue, Steve. I suspect if he was in the country legally, we would already know. As you know, Todd, when the media suddenly turns a blind eye to the identification of an individual involved in an alleged criminal act or a horrific accident like that, when they don't tell you the whole story, that usually tells you the rest of the story. And again, when Freddie O'Connell in Nashville is wanting to spend all this money to help criminal illegals, housing, health care, food, transportation, We we, like most of America, have a lot of potholes in our roads.

This same mayor is proposing a thirty percent to thirty five percent. Property tax increase this year, while again wanting to take care of criminal illegals, not take care of the potholes while crime is rising, and we've got judges here releasing criminals. with either low or no bonds, we've got bigger problems than this mayor is dealing with. All right, Steve, we we got to leave it there super late for a break, but appreciate your great insight. And Steve, tell folks where can they go to find all of your great social media stuff?

Go to the Gill report on Facebook, on Instagram, and on X. And I regularly post there and look forward to joining you regularly, Todd. All right.

The great Steve Gill, everybody, here on the Todd Stearns show. Our telephone number: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Real quick, before we go to break, let's bring in Don from the Houston area, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hi, Don.

What's on your mind?

Well, I agree with you about the Republicans. I cannot figure out why they don't put somebody in jail because once they did it, And the others would get the message. If they don't put them in jail, they just let them go on. What's your stop blow everybody for doing that?

So I'm upset with them. I've been upset with them first. A number of years I am a Republican. I vote for Republicans. But once they get up there, they seem to lose all common sense.

About You know, it's like when you've got a child. When you have a little child who keeps doing the same thing. You you discipline him one time and he'll straighten up. Yeah, it's the craziest thing. And Don, I know that you guys are going to have a pretty wild ride in the Senate with Ken Paxton, who I'm a big fan of, going up against John Cornyn.

And Cornyn is going to have to answer to a lot of the things he has done. And chief among them, by the way, is being a fierce defender of the Islamists that are currently invading the lone star state.

So I think we are going to have the opportunity to primary a lot of these Republicans. And again, understanding that ultimately Donald Trump is not a Republican as much as he is a populist. And so the question is: can we turn the Republican Party into a Trump-like populist-style party? That's going to be the big question moving forward. Don, I got to run for a break.

I thank you so much for the call. Thank you for listening to Patriot Talk there in Houston. Folks, we'll be around. Right back. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Tod Stearns Show. There is a fascinating story I was reading in The Spectator over the weekend. James Fritz is the author, and the headline caught my attention. And we're going to dig into this coming up in the next segment of the show. This is the headline: An entire generation has turned feral.

The teenagers of yesteryear are not like the feral kids of to day. And here's how Mr. Fritz jumps into this fascinating conversation. What do you get when you take a forty percent out of wedlock birth rate, mix it with a twenty five percent absentee father rate, and sprinkle some social media on top? you get feral kids, raised by their devices and peers and educated not in the school of virtue, but of virality.

Most of them are in their late teens to early twenties. Anybody living in our nation's largest cities has become acquainted with these kids in recent years. From the teen takeovers in Chicago, the illegal house parties in Nashville, drag racing in Florida, the storming of malls in California, these kids have now reached the age of majority and they have been sicked on the world. Looting, assault, damage to property, illegal drag racing, setting off fireworks, obstructing traffic, violating curfew, arson, evading arrest. The guy goes on and on and on.

On February 28th, 200 teens broke into a newly built house in East Nashville through a party with booze and drugs. The owner Called the police only to learn that there were no officers available. Maybe they were taking care of the illegals. The poor guy had to break up the party himself. We're going to get into this.

This is a fascinating story, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Start Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Let's go to the phone lines, Jackson, Tennessee. Justin listening to us on KWAM. Hi, Justin. What's on your mind?

Hey, Todd. just driving to Chattanooga just been listening into the conversation as I've been on the road. You know, first thing I guess I want to address is the gentleman that was arguing with you said you were too hard on Republicans.

Well, you should be hard on Republicans because it's the only way we get them to do anything. As far as the the I the war on police right now from Democrats against ICE agents, every single one of them should be be in jail for what they're doing to our to our ICE agents. Second thing is with regards to Tennessee and illegal immigration. You know, we have a problem right now in our Tennessee legislature. There were two bills this.

legislation that address illegals. One was Um About driving, you needed to have you needed to be able to speak English to have a driver's license. They killed that. And the second one was challenging that we shouldn't fund To pay for illegal immigrants' kids to be educated in schools. Our Tennessee legislator killed it twice.

So I think there's a big wake-up call. At twenty twenty six Because the people that are moving to Tennessee are more conservative. The people that actually live here. And I think you're, I don't know who's going to be the governor, but I know that Republican primary is going to be very, very contentious around these issues. And Justin, you've got Senator Marsha Blackburn who is looking at running.

And I know Congressman John Rose, a Republican who's in the Congress, has already declared that he's going to run. My concern is what you just said. We have a super majority Republican state here in Tennessee. The legislature, everything is controlled by the Republicans.

So there's really no reason why we should not be the boldest America-first MAGA state in the nation, to be honest with you. Yeah. I mean, I believe there's only one state that's redder than us. And that's Oklahoma. There's only really three blue counties: Shelby, Davidson, and then Haywood County is 60 votes away from Flippin' to Red.

So I don't understand why we keep doing it. I don't understand why they're not sending all the resources to come after the mayor of Nashville because what he's doing, he's basically a mayor, he's giving rewards to criminal activity. Justin, what would you like to see happen? Would you like to see law enforcement coming in and begin the process of arresting these elected leaders? Because ultimately, that's what they threatened to do.

And right now, they're just thumbing their nose at the Trump administration. I I personally think everybody should be treated the same. The laws should be blind. It shouldn't be matter if you're a mayor or just Todd Stars that owns K William Radio, we all be held to the same standard. And yeah, they should come.

If he's using money to fund basically criminal enterprises, they should come after him. Just like they would anybody else. They don't deserve special treatment just because they're elected officials. I would even argue that they're held to a higher standard because they are elected officials. All right, Justin, we're going to let you go there.

Safe travels there on Interstate 40, and watch out for I-75, those big rig truck drivers. You know, it's interesting. There's a report out. I know Arkansas is finally getting, or Arkansas is leading the way here. They're pulling over these big rig drivers, and they're basically asking them to prove they can actually speak and read English.

You would think that would be a no-brainer. All right, I got to get to this story. This is just insanity.

So there's a McDonald's in Fairfax County, Virginia. I know we have a lot of Virginia listeners. And I don't know if this is unique just to Fairfax County. But teenagers are invading a lot of these fast food restaurants, and they're acting like savages. I mean, there's really no other polite way to describe it.

So, finally, the McDonald's in Fairfax County, Virginia, located directly across the street from Thomas Edison High School. And it's been so bad.

so bad that they finally had to ban teenagers from eating inside McDonald's. And a lot of parents are upset. How dare you? How dare you ban my young scholar? Where are they supposed to go eat?

All right, well, how about home? Have a sandwich. Get a lunchable. They're very delicious. But the fact of the matter is, a lot of these parents are using McDonald's as sort of their own babysitting service, which, by the way, By the way, and hear me on this.

A lot of people say, well, the reason why all of the big box malls, those big shopping malls, those gallerias, they're going out of business is because, well, people just don't like going anymore.

Well, why is it they don't like going? Those things for decades were filled to overflowing with people. But it was when parents started unleashing their kids into the balls and using the balls as a babysitting service that all you know what broke loose. And after time, people say, you know what? I don't want to get shot.

I don't want to get beat up by some little Hellion.

So I'm just going to. Yeah, I'm just gonna stay home or I'm gonna shop online.

So, anyway, here's one of the local news reports about what's happening there at the McDonald's in Fairfax County, Virginia. Take a listen. These kids are off the chain. They have no respect, no discipline. And it seemed like how they acted.

Their parents are allowing them to act. Workers inside tell us young people, including some from Thomas Edison, can be seen fighting, heard cursing, and standing on tables in the video. Managers of the McDonald's say those actions and other similar incidents led to a new policy and this sign on the front door on Monday, reading, Due to repeated incidents of student violence, the location is temporarily closed for dine-in service to anyone under 21 years of age. Like we're sitting down eating, y'all smoking, y'all drinking, y'all cussing. Come on, yo.

Like, come on. Stacey says she, along with her grandkids, stopped by the Golden Arches location in the past and saw a group of young people disrupting other customers inside. She says she's okay with the new rule. I understand where they're coming from because that's turning customers away. If you hear you acting up, they losing their business.

Management says adults age 21 and up can still enjoy their Big Macs and happy meals inside. They may be asked to show their ID. To get service, customers need to ring the doorbell. and a team member will let you inside. Can't you imagine having to ring a doorbell?

You know what? You know what's happening, though? We've seen this all over, for example, New York City and San Francisco. And it's the same process where you walk into a Walgreens or a drugstore in one of those two cities, everything is on lockdown, and you've got to push a little button, and then somebody has to come and they've got to unlock whatever it is to get your deodorant or your Irish Spring. It's insane.

I went in one day wanting a Gatorade. I was anchoring the news for a week or so at Newsmax, and I walked down the street, went in to get a Gatorade. The Gatorade was locked up. And the manager was just telling me, he says, you know, it's sad, but if we don't lock everything down, it goes right out the door. But I'm I'm being told now, and this is the argument, That all of these things, like the teenagers that are staging these riots and things, it's all part of the culture now.

And if you criticize the teens, if you criticize these grown women that are breastfeeding their children in public or fighting at the Golden Corral in North Carolina, if you criticize that, you're criticizing the culture. And I want to know when that when did that become a thing? When did being a thug and acting like a savage animal become like a culture in America? When did that happen? And that brings, so by the way, we've got a great story at ToddSterns.com.

On this McDonald's story. One customer said, it is so bad. It's like a jungle when the kids come out. The staff, they're in here trying to serve people and they're scared for their life. You can't blame McDonald's.

I mean, you know, they're trying their best here. And another customer told NBC News. These kids are off the chain, they have no respect, no discipline. And it seems like how they acting, their parents are allowing them to act that way. And it's true.

I mean this is insanity. But uh the reality is that a lot of parents are just raising their kids to behave like this. And in truth, most of these kids are coming from single-parent homes, and maybe there's not even a parent there to raise them. And that is a very dangerous proposition.

So, meanwhile, While all that's going on, And In Memphis at an upscale restaurant. It's called Jay Alexander's. It's an upscale restaurant. And they had all hell breaking loose on Mother's Day. Cut number 10, please.

We're told that someone came into the business wielding a gun. Fortunately, no one was injured, but as you can imagine, definitely scared so many families who were simply trying to enjoy themselves at the restaurant for Mother's Day. Yesterday evening, Redlands Grill by J. Alexander was swarming with Memphis police. Officers say they were called to the scene to investigate a fight.

But guests say a man came into the building wielding a gun, commanding. People throughout the building to get under the table. Police say no shots were fired and no one was injured. We spoke with a woman who was. There at the restaurant enjoying dinner with her family when she says the fight started near the bar and then she says everyone started crawling under uh their tables and their chairs for cover and sh she's simply happy that no one was injured.

Next thing I know they was telling us to get up under the table, big bite that Broke out and they were just screaming, get under the table, get under the table.

So everybody here was under the tables. They said they had a gun, so of course that scared everybody. Judy Lee, who you just heard from, says they remained crouched under the table for about 30 minutes until Memphis police gave them the all-clear. We reached out to Memphis police for more information. They simply told us that it was a fight and that they are investigating, but we haven't learned whether they have any suspect information or whether anyone's been arrested.

Nobody's being arrested. It's just a fight. You know how the kids are these days. You know how they are.

So, I want to go back to this column in the Spectator by James Fritz. And he says that the problem, and we've got a big problem here: an entire generation has turned feral. And he said there were three reasons why. Number one, He says that Many teen gatherings in the past were purpose driven. For example, you were protesting something, you were going to celebrate something.

But today, as he writes, seventeen year old girls storm Michigan Avenue in Chicago and torque on top of police cars. What's the political statement there? He said the second issue is logistics and technology. Before the internet, it took weeks and months to plan a protest, but now. All you have to do is put something on chat, on social media, meet at a specific location, and the police are completely overwhelmed.

Which is why you've seen so many of these flash mobs going in and just robbing people blind. Again, and they're telling us it's all part of. the community's culture.

Now, the third part, as he outlines here in this terrific essay, it's at the spectator.org. Is the family structure? In the 1950s and 60s, American families were for the most part intact. The vast majority of women had children after the wedding night, not before. Husbands stuck around and helped raise the kids.

Some of them were good fathers, some were bad, many mediocre, but they put in the time for their families. At the very least, children growing up with bad fathers learned what to avoid when they became became parents. Today our feral kids have no such role models.

Now, the sad part about this essay is there's not a solution, at least, not one offered here. He says. Unfortunately, we can't do much about these feral kids because their brains are now developed, their habits are set. And again, we're talking about people who would be of the millennial age group now. that are out there causing all of this.

The only recourse left is in the legal system enforcing law and order by arresting those responsible, but to prosecute the police have to catch 'em, and in most of our biggest cities there are not enough cops to go around. In short term, moving away from these crime-ridden areas is the only solution. These teen takeovers have been going on for years and will continue for the foreseeable future. The only way to avoid them is to vote with your feet.

Well, you see, I would disagree there. I do believe that if good-hearted people would stay and fight. I think we're we have a a fighting chance. I mean, it's it's it's an uphill climb. But all you people in California, all you people in California, that are moving out.

That's not going to fix California. is it's just going to lead to bigger problems. We got to take a break here, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts here. Do you believe that we have created society has created a feral society of teenagers? Who are basically lawless.

I mean, that's what we saw. At the McDonald's, that's why they're having to get this, they're having to shut down. Did you ever think that you would have to shut down, lock down a McDonald's? For people under the age of 21, unbelievable, 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Trust you're doing well today. Coming up, we're going to be checking with our good buddy Harry Hurley from radio station. WPG Salt Lake City, Utah.

They have officially adopted. A brand new flag. This is Mormon Country, Donnie and Marineland. Salt Lake City adopting a Transgender Progress Pride flag as the official city flag. This is in spite of a state ban.

Salt Lake City, by the way, is referred to as the Mormon capital of the world. Is it hard to get Coca-Cola there? I'm just curious. Um, you know, I've I No, that's not. I was going to say it's the opposite.

It's hard to get coffee there.

Well, but Coca-Cola, too, because it's got caffeine, right? Isn't it caffeine? They actually do drink soda over there. Oh, they do? Yeah, just no coffee.

Wow. I didn't know that. That's a weird religion, man. I can you know, it's just like I couldn't, you know, I love pork.

So anything that, you know, any religion that bans pork, that's not for me. You know, your grandfather, Dylan. Our great uncle Jerry, as we used to refer to him on the show, actually. Produced. He did not get this patent.

He did not get the patent. And I wish he had. It was a redneck anti-terrorism device. And it was basically, you know, how people were going around. This is back years ago when people were blowing things up with the suicide vest.

So Uncle Jerry had crafted one that was actually lined with bacon. And the terrorists wouldn't get within a mile of. They were afraid. You know, you don't want to. God forbid you hit the button and you get bacon bits all over the place.

Yeah. He could have been millionaires. He could have been millionaires. It's all about the follow-through. You got to follow through.

Anyway, the wow, the Council on American Islamic Relations is going to put me on the list.

So anyway, the gay pride transgender flag. It's going to fly alongside the American flag and the state of Utah flags. All three flags will feature a lily, which is the city's most so they're desecrating the American flag with a lily? What's wrong with you people? I can't imagine the Mormons would sign off on this.

What in the world is going on? By the way, there is a state law that says you're not allowed to do that.

So again, folks, follow through. Follow through. Enforce the law. Jeez a loop. All right, gotta take a break here, folks.

I need some bacon and a Dr. Pepper. We'll be right back. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's conservative blowtorch. See ya.

That's right. I love this American ride. Touch start.

So late Friday, we received a huge box in the mail. And I'm like, who in the world is sending me stuff?

So it wasn't ticking, so I felt it was safe to go ahead and open it. And uh very surprised, pleasantly surprised to see the The author copies of the new book. They arrived on Friday. Star-Spangled Blessings: Devotions for Patriots is the new book. And those of you that are watching us on Rumble or YouTube or Facebook, I'm holding up a copy of this book.

It is a beautiful little book. It's a great devotional book, over 300 pages. And had a lot of fun writing this with my good friend Michelle Cox. And the whole point of the book is. That God has truly blessed America.

And we take you through a lot of stories that you may not know about our founding fathers, about our presidents, regular everyday Americans. And we tell those stories. I love how, and I'll just go through real quick before we get to our guests, because after every. Every devotion, we have what we call a Yankee doodle, which are questions that you can contemplate, and then we provide a patriot prayer. We do that for every single one of our devotions.

It's a 40-day devotion book, and we also have some delicious American, all-American recipes that you're just going to love. I would encourage you to pre-order a copy. The book will officially be in bookstores on June the 17th, but we're going to be launching the book at a big party we're throwing, and we'll tell you more about that coming up on June 12th. But you can actually pre-order a copy right now at your favorite bookstore or on Amazon.

So, the name of the book, again, Star Spangled Blessings Devotions for Patriots. All right, welcome to the Tom Stearns Radio Show, hour three underway, 901-260-5926, our telephone number. We talked about this in the very first moments of the show: this outrageous attack on an immigration facility in New Jersey. Let's go to the Patriot mobile newsmaker line, say hello to our good friend from WPG Radio, Harry Hurley. Harry, good to have you.

you back with us. Honor to be with you, Todd. Congratulations on your newest book as well.

Well, thanks. You know, it's funny. I keep, I'm always surprised when they say, Can you write another one? You would think they would have been tired by now, but always happy to oblige, you know? Give them what they want, Todd.

That's what it's all about, Harry. Um, What the heck is going on here? This is a pretty disturbing scene we saw on Fold Friday.

So many things swirling through my head, minding my own business on a Friday night, and all of a sudden, we had three members of Congress. And the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, someone who now is famous. See, I have a theory. that Raz Baraka, who no one knew, He had bad name recognition in the state of New Jersey.

Now he is very, very famous. And if you think about it, in a liberal Hook. Democrat primary, what better credit Then the goats Stir up some dust up. At an ICE detention facility, cause all the trouble, and then blame the good guys. They're at fault.

It's not the most disgraceful thing of all. Their behavior is indefensible, and it's absolutely terrible, and we should talk about it. And by the way, If january sixth detainees, many of whom we now know we have video evidence, were invited Into the White House, or rather into the Capitol building, and they wound up locked up. I I don't I don't wish this, but it It demands it. These members that did what they did this past Friday night, particularly the one who pushed.

ICE agents, thank God for the body cam, because they're saying, Oh, you're pushing us. No, no, you were pushing them. Uh That has to be dealt with. And how could anyone else ever be given a penalty If they go away with no penalty at all. But getting back to Roz Baraka, the mayor of Newark.

This might win him. I still don't think he'll win. But this might could win him the Democrat nomination for governor. I think the whole thing is a Democrat setup. Because if they really wanted oversight, you be professional.

You make an appointment. You'd get your tour, you'd see how well run it is, because they even admitted that. But no, no, no. They went there and they raided the detention center. In my estimation, they've committed crimes, Todd.

Yeah, I mean, based on the body cam footage, it certainly looks like that. And what I find fascinating about this detention center, Homeland Security put out a statement just a little while ago. And they're saying that this particular detention center actually houses very dangerous people, the worst of the worst. We're talking about drug traffickers, pedophiles, gang members.

So it's just beyond me why these lawmakers go ahead. I think the math is 75%. of them are felons. This is where they belong. and the members of Congress and the mayor of Newark.

should be working with the good guys. Have you figured it out yet, Todd? It's got to be beyond my pay grade. I do not understand why the Democrat Party now. is the party of felons.

What Why is that? their number one celeb cause. Yeah, it's th this one's a head scratcher. And only my my the only thing I can figure out is or factor in is maybe they realize they've lost the minority vote. And that's not coming back.

So they're trying to attract all of these new people. But that's the only thing I can figure. But Harry, when you look at their reaction to, for example, the black community in Chicago Southside, I mean, they figured it out pretty quickly. They're being replaced. And I wonder maybe that's what we're watching here.

And because this seems to be the base to win a Democratic primary, even if it's not their core belief. It's It's the line that they have to defend. And that has to be part of the rationale of it all. Here's the other thing. let's never listen to these Democrats again talk about how our mutual friend, President Trump, doesn't respect other branches of the government, doesn't respect norms because they went in to the executive branch's authority.

They didn't do it the right way. And one of them actually, it's on the video, put at least one of them put their hands. on law enforcement officers.

So they're not showing respect for the executive branch, Todd, are they? No, they're not. By the way, that's Lamonica McIver, by the way. That's the individual there. She should be arrested, but do you think that?

That I don't believe this administration is afraid. Other administrations, of course, would never arrest a member of Congress no matter what they did. I don't think this administration will be afraid to arrest one or more. Look, they arrested Raz Baraka. But keep in mind, everyone listening on KWAM and all throughout the country on the Todd Starn show.

That They gave Roz Baraka every opportunity to not be arrested. He wanted to be arrested. And I think it's for the reason I cited at the beginning of the interview, Todd. He wants to be governor, and this gives him somehow, this gives him Democrat. primary election cred.

And that very well may be it. But I know the Democrats are really struggling nationwide. There is no leadership. And Jasmine Crockett. Oh, Harry, you're going to be the first to hear this, but we officially have Jasmine Crockett theme music.

Let's listen to the Jasmine Crockett music here. Shucking and jivin'. Shucking and jivin' is the gift every time I come around. Yeah, very early. Oh, boy, you're going to hear about that.

Oh, yeah.

So, look, Jasmine Crockett was doing an interview, and she explained the problem with her own party. Let's take a listen to this. I'm going to get your reaction. Because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost so far. And I think that that's a natural fear because we just want to win.

So, there's a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let's go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm just saying. I love the callers that we're hearing. We're hearing people.

No, for real. A white man's got a mouse caller. For real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor on the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate.

So I can tell, and I can tell you, it's not a black. person nor woman, okay?

So like it is they have quote unquote they have chosen. And when I say they, it's the same donors that most likely had their opinions about Joe Biden and move.

So like that would be the they that I would talk about.

Well, who do you think the safest white boy is? You're talking about Harry Herlock?

Well, probably Gavin Newsome. who would be just a terrible President. And thankfully, I don't think we're ever going to have to worry about that. But he could win. You never know.

He could win a Democrat nomination. Crockett is a disgrace. Let me just say that right up front. Oh, yeah.

I'm tired of listening to her speak in different dialects, if you notice.

Sometimes she speaks one way, sometimes it's another. I don't know what it is about Democrats, Hillary, Kamala Harris. Jasmine Crockett. AOC, sometimes she puts on a certain dialect. I don't know what it is about them that they're all fakes and frauds.

Yeah. Could you imagine that the double standard is unbelievable? What she said. If you said the reverse, You'd have nothing but problems on your hands, Todd. I'm like, boy, who you call it a boy?

Yeah. What's going on there? White boy. You know who my money's on, though? I thought about Kevin Newsome.

That's a good answer. That's a good answer. Thank you. He was touring the White House jacket off and walking across where John F. Kennedy has walked.

That was all stage while President Biden, oh, did I call him President? Joe Biden was out of the country.

Now he's auditioning. He's trying. He's trying very hard.

Well, my money, though, is on somebody else, Pete Booty Juice. And there's something going on there, Harry, because Pete has grown a beard. Oh, yeah.

So he's trying to appear to be more manly, and he's, I guess, he's finished chest feeding the baby.

So here's how you run for president as a Democrat: be a terrible mayor of South Bend, Indiana, nicknamed Pothole Pete because he couldn't even fix the Potholes, even with the budget. True, interesting. Right. Then he is. The so-called Secretary of Transportation, what did he do?

Go away for like 60 days, Todd? Nobody even knew he was gone. He was failed there, never came through during any disaster, never went. To East Palestine. You could go on and on, and yet that somehow makes him upper tier.

We know that we're in good shape. You know, they all want to say, oh, midterm elections, they always go the other way. AOC and Pete Buttigieg are one and two on the Democrat side. That's all you need to know.

Well, and then you've got that, who is it, the vice chair of the party, little David Piglett there. Hong, not Piglet, my apologies. But Hong, you're right, Harry. And I think that my concern is that we are dealing with a Republican-led majority that is not moving the needle much when it comes to moving President Trump's agenda through Congress. And that just deeply, deeply concerns me.

They've got to stop taking all these vacation days, and they've got to put the nose to the grindstone, and they've got to start codifying these executive orders. Couldn't agree more. And we're going to see what happens with the latest that President Trump brought up. How are Democrats going to vote against lowering prescription drug costs? Between 30 and 80 percent.

And Todd, tell me, how will they vote no against that? It's a great point. By the way, some more breaking news, Harry Hurley. Coming out of New Jersey, where now faith, progressive faith leaders are now blocking the entrance to the ICE detention center there in New Jersey. Unbelievable.

Yeah, they're trying to flip the whole thing on Trump, the executive branch, Christine Noam, Tom Holman, you know, who knows? But they were the ones that behaved badly. It's on videotape. By the way, another Democrat that you should throw into the star and sweepstake for 2028, and they won't pick him, though. And he would probably be one of the better ones they could put up, but they won't put him up is Governor Shapiro in Pennsylvania.

But he's much too moderate for them. And Jewish. Yeah, that too. It's terrible, isn't it? It's horrifying, which is why he was left off the ticket.

Let's not forget why he was actually left off the ticket for Governor Jazz hands. All right.

Hey, by the way, before we let you go, did you have a good Mother's Day there, Mrs. Hurley? And I saw the photos. We spoiled Margie. We took Margie to the happiest place on earth.

Which is Atlantic City, New Jersey. No, we took her to Disney World, and yes, we had a great Great holiday, Todd. Thanks for always asking. And it's great. Great to be on your show.

Love the work that you do. Likewise. Harry, always good hearing from you, my friend. We'll get you back on soon. The great Harry Hurley, everybody.

And if you're down at Disney, be sure to say howdy. All right.

Thanks, Harry. We've got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. Would you like to see these radical Democrats who are physically assaulting ICE agents? Do you think that the Republicans ought to throw down and put them in jail?

And they also provide for our veterans and first responders.

So go check them out, patriotmobile.com/slash Todd. Dylan, have you had a chance to observe the video I sent you? This is causing all sorts of chaos and controversy in the international community, where it certainly appears. That the French president Macaron. and other world leaders were gathered And it certainly appears as though they are um Doing Coke And I'm not talking about the refreshing beverage.

The There's video that shows the world leaders. hiding what appears to be a bag filled with a white substance. And also a spoon. And when you see the video, Mm-hmm. You wonder their behavior.

It's their reaction when they realize that the cameras are there and how they just covertly move the bag filled with the white substance off the table into the pocket. And then the other, then you've got the other government official there hiding the spoon with his hand. Little suspicious there. The behavior is incredibly suspicious. But again, the accusation is that the British Prime Minister And the French president were caught red-handed doing Coke.

I just I don't know. It's all very suspicious to me, but Either that or they maybe were eating some powdered donuts. Those are tasty. You know it. It really is remarkable to see this.

American hostage finally freed, he was held for more than five hundred and eighty days in captivity, left behind. by the Biden administration, Edon Alexander Just a good and decent person can't even imagine what this poor kid. Went through, he was kept in a cage 21 years old. And he Received dual U.S.-Israeli Citizenship. Just an incredibly emotional moment after being set free, spending more than five hundred and eighty days in captivity.

President Trump writing on True Social congratulations to his wonderful parents. Family and friends. The um Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Saying that Trump is fighting to secure the release of every American detained abroad, and we won't stop until this conflict is over and all of our hostages are home. By the way, Uh Alexander's hometown uh is at uh Tenafly, New Jersey.

People there just ecstatic and celebrating his release. They're saying that some 3,000 people gathered in the downtown part of the community, some getting there around 5 a.m.

So, this is again amazing news. And this young man who is uh just a a great patriot. He is going to be airlifted to a hospital in Tel Aviv for continued care. He's been reunited with this family, but no doubt this young man is going to be going through. We can't even imagine the.

The trauma. that this young man went through. and what these evil savages did to this guy. I I'm just um You know, I'm old school. When it comes to this kind of stuff, ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad we had this young man home, and now.

Hamas should be obliterated. for what they did. Obliterated But they tortured this young man. Uh they handcuffed him in a cage. And they tortured him.

That's what Hamas did. And that That cannot be allowed to stand. That cannot go. Um unpunished. The Times of Israel reporting that he suffered severe torture and was held handcuffed in a cage for an extended period of time.

He was interrogated for weeks and held in one of the Hamas Tunnells He suffered from malnutrition, among other things. The Red Cross, by the way, which delivered Alexander to Israel, failed to visit him. in captivity even a single time. May I ask a question? Why is anybody still giving money to the far left Red Cross?

You want to give money to a relief organization? Give it to Samaritan's purse. At least you know the money is going to the right people. I want somebody to explain to me how it is that the Red Cross never visited this American. How is that possible?

So let me just say this. And again, it is a celebration, and we're excited this young man is free. This twenty one year old is a free man. But Hamas needs to pay. And again, going back to my old school roots, and it is what it is, I'm just an old school kind of guy.

I think that we have to send a message. To Hamas. and all these other terrorist groups. If you do this to one of our people, there will be unimaginable hell fire raining down on you. And it has to be extreme.

It has to be the response to this now that he is a, and he's the last living American. Held by Hamas.

So I think we can do this if we had the stomach to do it. But I think that we need to send a message so that any other terrorist would think twice before they ever harmed an American, took an American hostage. That if you take one of our people, we're going to destroy you. and all of your people. The Islamists, and by the way, that's what they are, they're Islamists.

They only respond to physical force. And I say that we bring down the hammer. Just let Hegseth, just let him loose. That's what needs to happen here. 901-260-5926, our telephone number.

That's 901-260-5926. Meanwhile, I mean, President Trump is fighting for our country, getting us back on the right track. He's beating up China. And we saw the news with the tariff agreements. That's great news.

But I'm telling you right now, the stock market especially is a roller coaster. Trump is playing a long game, and I'm not sure a lot of people understand that he's playing the long game, which means there are going to be some painful moments. But in the long term, we are going to be a bigger, better, stronger, more prosperous country. Which is why we've got to play smart with our investments and our savings and our retirement. That's why I want to tell you about our friends at Vault U.S.

They just want to make sure that you are educated and that you are diversified.

So, again, give them a call: 833-511-GED. G-O-L-D.

Well, in California. They had the big state track and field. Competition.

Okay. And it turns out that a young man Took first place in three of the top girls events. A boy. Competing as a girl. And I want you to listen to what happened in the crowd when the kid crossed the finish line first.

That's a boy! That's a boy! That's a man, man! You're a girl! Who said that?

Who did say that? Wow Heckling at a track and field meet But it's true, and by the way, good for these dads good for these dads But what a terrible thing that you're going to have girls that were That were left off. The Metal List. Simply because a young man is competing as a girl. It is happening all over the country, ladies and gentlemen, and people are just getting sick and tired of it.

And I think that's ultimately what this is about. I think the transgender movement have just gone too far. And this idea that just because you know again, it's it's the the L's, the G's and the B's, they don't want to have anything to do with the T's. And the reason why, it opens up Pandora's box. By the way, a space colonel from the Space Force who's transgender was doing an interview.

And folks, this is just mind-blowing.

So, Pete Hexeth coming under fire because they're telling all the transgender troops, you got to go. You are not allowed to serve in the military. And there's a very good reason for that. And a lot of it has to do with the surgeries, with the aftermaths of the surgeries, and many of them are just not able to serve because of the incredibly long recuperation times. Beyond that, The American people have said, we don't want drag queens on our submarines.

We don't. We don't want them on our ships. We don't want them in the Air Force. We are sick and tired of this. We want our military back to what it was meant to be.

So you are about to hear how much You spent, your tax dollars were spent on taking care of transgender troops. Take a listen. What do you think the military has invested in your 20-year career?

Well, in me in particular, they've given me multiple degrees, tons of classes, and the ability to design and develop our nation's most advanced technology.

So they're just throwing that away. And there are decades invested in me and millions of dollars in me and thousands of other transgender service members. I mean, when you add it up, we're talking probably a billion dollars invested into us or more that would be out the door. And we don't develop. commanders and colonels in a day.

It takes time to build those leaders who are capable of training the next generation and making sure we have this unbroken line of service members ready to fight tonight and defend this nation's interests. Yeah, well A billion dollars. Ladies and gentlemen, a billion dollars of your tax money that could have been going to. To upgrade housing for our troops. It could have been used for pay.

To increase pay for our troops, but instead, we are paying for transgender troops exclusively getting a billion dollars of your tax money. All right, we got to take a break here. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926. And again, for our TV audience holding up a copy of the brand new book, this is really a powerhouse little book called Star-Spangled Blessings: Devotions for Patriots.

I want you to pre-order a copy. Go right now to wherever you get your books online, and you can pre-order a copy. You will get it on June 17th when the book officially hits bookstores. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back.

Then story out of campus reform. Pacific Lutheran University. That's a Christian school, right? They're hosting a queer prom. On the well, they've just hosted over the weekend a queer prom.

The event serves as an annual gathering inte intended for youths as young as fourteen years old to experience queer joy and engage with community resources. Oh, there you go. By the way, Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington, This year's theme was Detective Dance. The Case of the Horse Heist Good God Almighty, what are they doing to the horses? Poor Mr.

Ed. The sign up sheet for the dance asked attendees to list information, including personal pronouns. They offered eight specific options for sexual orientation and seven different genders to choose from. That's rather limiting. I thought there were, what, seventy two now?

The Oasis Queer Prom is for LGBTQ and allied youths age 14 to 24. Nothing wrong there with a twenty four year old dancing with a fourteen year old, right? What the heck is that all about? The event was advertised as promoting prices and free. Free HIV testing.

All right, somebody somebody here uh want to explain to me. Why a Christian university is hosting a queer prom and is providing HIV testing for 14-year-olds. Who are the champerons? In a statement provided to campus reform, the Washington State Department of Health. confirmed that the Oasis Youth Center is also a grant recipient.

from the Department of Health. The department officials said that the event was not sponsored by the state. By the way, Pacific Lutheran University is not answering any questions about why they are hosting a prom for 14 to 24-year-olds. With free HIV testing. What is going on in the prom?

And could somebody get over there and check on the horse? I'm very concerned. Whenever you mix livestock in with an event like this, Very bad things happen. 901 260 5926, our number. Remember when proms used to be happy, joyful things and you had the prom king and the prom queen?

And everybody. Everybody got along. Everybody knew their pronouns. Everybody knew their roles. And a good time was had by all.

By the way, I want to play this audio shared by a black conservative. And it features a white woman, and she is very upset. I think she's been seeing all of these videos of the Walmarts and the McDonald's and all of the looting and the pillaging and the plundering. And finally, they're saying they're introducing a new term into the vernacular, the lexicon, called black fatigue. Take a listen.

The woman who called a five-year-old a racial slur. My first impression after watching the video, a little bit of white trash. I have to be honest, the kid was five. I have worked with five-year-olds for the last 15 years. Absolutely everything they do is out of pocket.

They're like little unhinged drunk people. Nothing they do makes sense. A five-year-old is capable of rifling through somebody's bag and taking things that don't belong to them. Ask any kindergarten teacher. But I realize why so many people are wanting to defend this because black fatigue is real.

I think society as a whole is there. We are just so unbelievably fed up with the ghetto rack. Behavior, entitlement, the victimhood, that they want to praise this woman. But what she did is not praiseworthy. But also, on the same hand, please remember that every day that us white people get on this app, we get called racial slurs every single day.

So, if you don't want to be called a racial slur, you also have to stop calling people racial slurs. You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth. But for the love of God, please leave the children out of it. Adults are stupid, they're gonna do stupid things. You're a different level of stupid when you bring kids into it.

All right, so the guy, the black dude who shared this, goes on to talk about. How This is a thing. and that the culture at large is in a death spiral.

Now I would contend this. First of all, on this program, we believe that specific word that's uttered is unacceptable. You know, that's just the way I roll. That is unacceptable. Moving forward though.

When you look at what's happening in the culture, and it goes back to this essay from The Spectator, there's something happening in the culture. And by the way, you go to mostly white smaller towns and communities, you're seeing the same kind of behavior with white teens.

So, this is when we talk about feral teenagers, or what the spectator calls feral teenagers, we're talking about all skin colors. It's not a racial thing at all, it is a cultural thing. And it appears that far too many parents have allowed their kids to be exposed to social media at a very young age. It does make you long for the days. when there was no such thing as Facebook or Instagram or X, and people lived in the moment as opposed to living through a screen that they have in their hands.

I'm just saying, this is it's a fascinating story and a fascinating topic. And I will say, this is only going to get worse because we're talking about millennials and Gen Zers who have been raised or not raised to have these kinds of values. It's insane. Just insane. By the way, head over to ToddSterns.com.

I want to encourage you to go and read all of our great stories. We have some great content for you, including my essay. Raleighview, North Carolina people, on why you need to get rid of Tom Tullus. And I hope you take that to heart. And again, folks, we've got to be working the phones, making sure that our elected leaders are doing what they promised they were going to do.

I can tell you right now, they're not doing it.

So we've got to hold them accountable. All right, folks, 5 o'clock Eastern, the Todd Stern Show on Newsmax. Hope you tune in and watch. We've got a great program lined up for you. In the meantime, folks, get out there.

Have a great one. You be good, America.
