And hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Program. We are live in our Liberty University studios, broadcasting from beautiful Memphis, Tennessee. And wow, many of you, it was a long night, stayed up into the wee hours, hoping that somehow the Republicans would be able to get this one big beautiful bill across the finish line. And we're not quite there yet, ladies and gentlemen.

And we're going to talk about this. Look, here's my prediction. And look, I may be wrong here. I don't think I am, but here's where I think all of this is going.

Now, you know, we have a lot of members of the House Freedom Caucus, and they have been dead set against all of this. They say that it does not go far enough, that it doesn't stop the Green News scam. It doesn't stop any of that stuff. It still provides for 1.4 million illegals on Medicaid. We're still going to be taxpayer funding transgender surgeries, and the list goes on and on and on.

Now, the Trump administration says, yeah, but it's the best we can. And if we don't get it done, we're going to have the highest tax increase in the history of mankind. We're going to not be able to fund any of the President's agenda.

So there's been a lot of nastiness over the past wow, 48 hours or so here in America, and especially among Republicans. And don't get me wrong, these are good people on both sides. We have very good friends on both sides of this issue. And the House Freedom Caucus has been out there leading the charge, saying this is all about principle, this is about doing the right thing, this is about standing up for your beliefs. That's what they've been telling you.

Well, late yesterday. all of those House Freedom Caucus members were summoned to the White House and they were asked to meet with President Trump, which they did. And now, all of a sudden, all of these very principled Members of the House Freedom Caucus have. Change their mind, or at least a good many of them have. And I suspect when it's all said and done, when Hakeem Jeffries finally runs out of gas or peas himself on national television, I think at that point we're going to be able to get a vote, and this thing will be approved, and this bit of political theater will be over.

But here's what happened yesterday in the White House. You say, Todd, how do you know what happened? Were you there? No, I wasn't there, but I'm going to tell you what happened in the White House yesterday. Those House Freedom Caucus guys.

they found out who their daddy was. That's what happened yesterday. And I don't think it was a very nice or pleasant conversation. I think it was a come to Jesus moment.

Now, the reality here is we can stop all of this. And you're right. And there's a lot. If we're going to rehash all of this, we can say that the marketing of the BBB was off the mark, that they didn't do a very good job of explaining what this does, or the fact that, you know what, we had to compromise, and we're going to be able to fix some of these compromises later. But right now, here's what this bill does do, and that's why you need to pass it.

And I think if there had been a comprehensive and understandable. Marketing strategy here, then I think we wouldn't even be talking about this today. But it's been all over the place, and a lot of that is on the White House, and a lot of that is in the House of Representatives, where you've had leadership. That um You know, has it's just been a struggle. And again, these are all very good people.

But on this program We don't bow down to anybody. We don't. Look, I support President Trump. I support his agenda. I think some of the people that he surrounded himself with in this administration are probably not the best or the brightest, and that's problematic.

Yeah. And one of the big challenges That these administrations have. And I've look, I've been doing this for 30 years now, so. I sort of been down this path and I know how all this works.

So, what they do is they like to use people and then they like to set them aside. And that's what's happened here. What the administration should have done. Is they should have brought all of the big talk radio guys into the room and said, Okay, here's the deal. This is the plan.

What do you guys think? Can you help us out here? Do you have any questions? But they completely removed talk radio from the conversation. The Trump administration has made a very bad move, and that bad move is using Fox News channel as their only apparatus to get their information out.

And it's just not working. And that has caused them problems. Big problems.

Now, The Speaker of the House, that's a weird situation. And I keep getting these private messages from the Speaker's team. Oh, the Speaker wants to come on. The Speaker wants to talk about X, Y, or Z, but the Speaker never does. And I don't know if that's an integrity problem on behalf of the Speaker of the United States.

I don't think it is. But I mean, it's either an integrity problem or his staff is sealing him off from the true conservatives out there in the media world.

So anyway, this is why we're at where we're at right now. And again, if there had been some sort of a comprehensive marketing strategy for the BBB. I don't think any of us Would be here at all. Talking about this.

So, look, here's the deal. And you need to understand this about the president. President Trump, when he makes a promise, he delivers on the promise. And Stephen Miller, I think, did a great job of outlining all of this. President Trump pledged to seal the border, he did it.

As a matter of fact, There were last last month in 20, let's say June of 2024, over 100,000 Um, over a hundred thousand illegals were granted access into the United States. You know what the number was in June of this year? It was zero, like zero, like not a zip zilch. Nobody. It's amazing.

President Trump pledged to seal the border, he did it. Trump pledged to end DEI, and he did it. The president pledged to dismantle transgender ideology. He did it. By the way, the Supreme Court earlier today announced they are going to take up two cases, one in West Virginia, the other in Idaho, regarding transgender athletes and whether they should be allowed to compete against women.

So the Supreme Court is going to decide once and for all this transgender nonsense. Trump pledged to get men out of women's sports, he did that. He pledged to get the wokeness out of the military, guess what? He did it. He pledged to take on the corrupt colleges, he did that.

He pledged to stop inflation and unload American energy, and he did that. He pledged to take our jobs back from China and foreign nations. And by the way, he did that. And we're going to get to the jobs report in just a little while. Phenomenal numbers.

He pledged to end weaponize government. He did that. Pledge to restore democracy. And he did that.

So If Donald Trump says he's going to do something, he's going to do it. And if there are things in the big, beautiful bill, which there are. That are contrary and are dangerous to the President's agenda, he is going to go back and he is going to fix that. No doubt about that. But this is this is insanity.

Insanity what's going on right now. And I want to say something about last night, and I'm a little aggravated at the Republicans and especially the conservative the conservative Republicans of the House Freedom Caucus guys, because They are They're playing politics right now. And it's it's ugly. They're grandstanding. And I got problems with that.

So last night, people were waiting and waiting and waiting. We had what 9, 10, 11. Uh Republicans. And most of them were Freedom Caucus guys. And they had not voted.

And we were waiting and waiting and waiting. And the speaker comes out and says, Well, you know, they had other things to do. You know, one of the guys I think was doing his laundry and ran out of quarters.

So they had to go down and get some quarters for the dryer. And, you know, somebody else had, you know, they had to get a reservation. They were down at the Capitol Grill getting steak.

Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stop. Stop. Nobody had a conflict last night.

Nobody did. They all knew what was happening. We elect these people, we pay these people $174,000 a year. Their job is to be butts in the seat. May I go Old Testament for just a moment, please?

Is that okay? Ass in seat. That's their job. And I don't understand, I don't understand John Fetterman. Walking around like a slob.

Wearing the hoodie and the shorts. I don't understand Nancy Mae showed up in her pajama pants. It's not freaking Walmart, ladies and gentlemen. It's the freaking U. S.

Capitol of these great United States. Show a little decency. Show a little bit of respect. Dress appropriately. Is that too much to ask?

Is it, ladies and gentlemen?

So we're all sitting around here, and all of us had other things we could have done last night. But these Republicans, strutting around, Boasting about their principles and how they always wrote their conscience. And what did they do? They always, always, always, ladies and gentlemen, they end up doing. The exact opposite.

So, all of this last night was nothing more than political grandstanding. Oh by the way, you know who got a shout out? It was a Hakeem Jefferies, my gosh. That guy has got to be the worst speaker. It's kinda like wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, john, Oh, yeah, John McCain.

Yeah, John McCain got a shout-out yesterday. The late Senator John McCain. Remember John McCain? John McCain is the guy whose hatred of Donald Trump was so unrelenting. I mean, you talk about Trump derangement syndrome.

Off the charts. It was so bad that John McCain, they had the opportunity. To get rid of Obamacare, right? We were about to, we had the votes. We were going to kill Obamacare.

And what did John McCain do? He decided this, the late Senator John McCain, and everybody said, you can't criticize John McCain because John McCain is a war hero. He was a prisoner of war, and you're not allowed to criticize him. Look, We don't criticize his military service. We criticize his politics.

And that is fair game. But when it was all on the line, John McCain, what did he do? At the very last second, he stared up at the C-SPAN camera and he gave a big Thumbs down. Remember that? Thumbs down and voted.

To save Obamacare. I have never seen a greater act of political cowardice than that man's behavior. It was pretty despicable.

So, anyway, he made it a pit.

So, the Democrats now are like worshiping John McCain, and they're wanting all of these House Freedom Caucus guys to become the new John McCain.

So, my question here, and we're somehow going to be getting a vote sometime today. What do you want these House Freedom Caucus guys to do? Do they stand on their principles? Or did they wave the white flag? And do they vote for for the President's agenda.

Now let me say this, all those GOP holdouts who waited until the very last second not to vote, right, they're the ones pulling politics right now. All you have to do is cast your ballot.

Well, I don't know about that, Todd. I mean, what happens if somebody doesn't like the way you vote?

Well, you know what? They're not going to like the way you vote. Be a man, be a woman, cast your ballot, don't wait to see what somebody else is going to do. You are your own man? Vote yes or no.

It's really that simple. I mean, and by the way, if you're really going to make a principled stand, it would have already happened. It would have already happened. But I don't know about you, but it just this kind of thing is just aggravating because it really does now marginalize the House Freedom Caucus. What do they stand for?

Well, they'll tell you what they stand for until the go and gets tough, and then they don't stand for anything. Really? Is that the messaging here? I I don't know about that. Anyway, all that to say, let's give President Trump what he wants.

If it works, great. If it doesn't, we'll have Democrats in charge of Congress in the midterms. I mean, that is very simple. It is a very simple thing. 901-260-5926.

Love and only Yeah.

Okay. All right. Dollar Store Obama is still going at it, Hakeem Jeffries. Wow. It's so bad in there that Vice President J.D.

Vance. Said that an undecided Republican has decided to back the BBB after watching Hakeem Jeffries. It's just going on and on. And we're monitoring the speech. We will let you know when Hakeem ends up ramping this up.

But this is something called the Magic Minute. And the leadership on either side is allowed to speak. Pretty much indefinitely.

So, I mean, it could however long Hawkeen Jeffries can hold up. You know, he'll be good. I mean, somebody may pass him a Gatorade bottle. To um Relieve himself. But as long as the guy keeps talking, he'll be able to stay up there and keep talking and delay this.

And they're going to try. They want to embarrass Donald Trump. That's what the Democrats are doing here. I mean, droning on and on and on. They don't want Trump to be able to sign this bill by July the 4th.

That's ultimately what this is all about. Andy Ogles, who was up until yesterday, one of the no votes, says Dollar Store Obama has, but that's what they call Hakeem. You know why they call him? Because he's sort of like on the bargain rack. He's not even like up to the standards of Barack Obama, who is not all that great.

But, you know, any oh, by the way, Obama is jumping at all of this now, urging people to stand up in defiance of the BBB.

So Ogle says. Dollar Store Obama has been hysterically rambling over three and a half hours. It's been a longer time. That was at 7:57. The guy's still going on.

Whining about tax cuts for working Americans, bonuses for our new brave law enforcement, mass deportations, he's still droning on like a broken record.

Meanwhile, President Trump has already secured the votes. The American people stand firmly behind him. Hakeem needs to get off the House floor, take a drug test, and start putting America first, not last. Oh, my. What's up with the drug test part of that?

By the way, here's CNN just moments ago. This is killing. CNN is dying. They're dying because they have no choice but to recognize how great things are going under President Trump, gas prices down, the economy booming, jobs up, border secure. The OBB's about to pass.

Take a listen. Here are some things that have happened. Gas prices down. Economic indicators are decent. Brand new jobs report shows that's much better than expected.

And border crossings are down. And now Trump's mega spending bill looks like it's going to be passed by Republicans. How do you Democrats fight back with the wins that Trump can tout? I'm truly scared of what's going to happen.

Well, it depends on how you define wins, Sarah.

Well, I'm telling you right now, the Democrats are in a free fall. They don't know what to do. They don't. And it's a great place for the Democrats to be. You know, my only concern here is you've had all these renegade Republicans, and they've been out there causing trouble for President Trump.

And if they knew all along, at the end of the day, they were going to come around and they were going to vote for this, shame on them, because they embarrassed President Trump. They've caused all this unnecessary drama. And that's all this is: political theater, ladies and gentlemen. And I don't know about you. But this is what I voted for.

I voted for gas prices being down. I voted for a booming economy. I voted for a rock-solid secure border. I voted for Al Alligator Alcatraz. That's what I voted for.

And I'm excited about this. I truly believe. And by the way, President Trump heading to Iowa this afternoon, he's giving a huge, huge speech, and we're kicking off the 250th anniversary celebration of our nation. It'll be a year-long celebration. I'm just telling you, I think a lot of people are saying, This is what I voted for.

Republicans, get in line, get it together. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Your next getaway?

That's 901-260-5926. So this is interesting. Andy Ogles, we've been mentioning him a lot lately. He has just written a letter to The Interior Secretary, Calling for President Trump to officially be added To The face of Mount Rushmore.

So Indie Ogles wanting the Interior Secretary to add President Trump's face to Mount Rushmore. Writing, here's what he wrote. Given the scale and scope of recent achievements under President Trump, including the enactment of the historic Big Beautiful bill to secure our border, rebuild our military and slash government bloats, it is appropriate to explore the addition of his likeness by the to Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore honors presidents who represent the birth, growth, development, and preservation of the United States. They say the president's leadership advances each of those pillars.

Of course. You've got well, we'll say that as a trivia question. in just a moment.

So anyway, Ogle says we need to add President Trump's Base to Mount Rushmore. We did a little bit of digging. And so, the question, I just had a pretty simple question: is it even possible? Is there room to actually put another face up there? According to the National Park Service, there is not enough room, and they're saying that the existing carvings are already in a fragile state, and the rock there is not suitable for further excavation.

At least that's what the National Park Service is saying. But we will certainly let you know. You know, Lee Greenwood, who was on the show yesterday, Lee actually sent me a beautiful and I'll try to put I think I posted this on the Instagram, sent me a beautiful carving of Mount Rushmore. That included President Trump's face, and it looks great. I mean, it really does.

I think there actually may be room up there for just one more. One more face. You know what would be cool? Have Richard Nixon. He's got the nose, that long, sloped nose, and people can climb out on the.

Well, no, maybe not. You don't don't want to climb out on somebody's nose.

So I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, should we consider adding President Trump's face to Mount Rushmore? Has he done enough? to join the presidents on Mount Rushmore. 901-260-5926. Our number, that's 901-260-5926.

All right, I'm going to play some audio here. This is Stephen Miller. And he was on CNN. And is just going bonkers over these rogue judges. By the way, yesterday, another federal judge.

Stepped in and appointed by Obama, by the way, another federal judge stepped in and said President Trump had no right to secure the border and all of the illegals must be allowed to re-invade America. That's what the judge said. Cut number five. Even just yesterday, we saw whenever a judge rules against this administration, you say they're going rogue. Do you think a judge should just rubber stamp what your White House does?

If not, what checks and balances do you think should be in place for this White House? Is that the job of a district court judge? Two. Perform an individual green light or red light on every single policy that the president takes as the head of the executive branch. Just think about the premise baked into your question, respectfully, Pam.

You're saying that when the American people elect a president of the United States of America, I'm not saying that.

Well, it's the implication. Who is the sole head of the executive branch? Let me finish. I will answer the question happily. Look, when you have these kinds of lazy assumptions built into questions, it makes it hard to have a constructive.

What is a lazy assumption? I said you all had a win. Meaning you said no, you said, is it my expectation? I'm speaking to you. You said, is it my expectation?

It's not just you, it's the whole media. Democracy cannot function. In fact, democracy does not exist at all. If each action the president takes, foreign policy, diplomatic, military, national security, has to be individually approved by 700 district court judges, that's democracy. But let me tell you about these rogue judges.

This is the most litigated issue over the last 10 years. Over the last 10 years, whether or not to deport the foreigners who invaded our country illegally. You want a democracy in this country? When Americans vote, when they cry out and they beg for a president to come and save them from this invasion, and some district court judge in San Francisco or Manhattan tries to shut it down and shield these foreigners from deportation? While the Courts did nothing to stop Joe Biden and his administration and his officers, the Mallorcus, from overseeing this invasion, Yeah, I I mean he's he's absolutely right there.

And again, what that judge did was treasonous because it really does open our nation back up to an invasion. And at some point, you just the president's going to have to ignore these judges. I mean, these judges have completely lost their minds. But more than that, Congress can intervene, and Congress does have the power of the purse. They can actually defund these federal courts, and they can be very strategic about it, right?

So they don't have to defund everybody, but they can certainly go after the purse strings of all of these far-left activist judges out there. Again, I do not know why congressional leadership. will not intervene here. It makes no sense to me. at all.

By the way, I've got to tell you, folks, our friends over at the Association of Mature American Citizens, you're talking about some fighters here. They're in Washington, D.C., and they're fighting every single day to protect the principles that make this nation great. And we love AMAC. They are brand new sponsors of the Todd Stearns radio program. And one of the reasons I love AMAC, a lot of people say, oh, well, it's for senior citizens.

No, no, no, no, no. It's not. It doesn't matter if you're 18 or 80, AMAC is for any American who loves this country and wants to see it protected for generations to come. And I'm talking about a few dollars a year. You're going to get an outstanding magazine, and they have some great writers.

You're going to get access to exclusive discounts, and these are like restaurants, hotels, travel. You're going to get helpful resources. And most importantly, you're going to be a part of a growing patriotic community that is just simply not. Backing down the Association of Mature American Citizens. I want you to go check out their website, amac.us slash starnes.

That's amac.us slash starnes, and you'll be able to get more information on our friends that are making this radio program possible.

So we certainly appreciate our friends at AMAC. All right, before we go to break, I did mention a trivia question. I need you to name all four presidents on Mount Rushmore. Name all four presidents on Mount Rushmore. That is our big Independence Day trivia question.

North of Amarillo. Oh, north of Amarillo. All right. So I thought you were on Patriot. What station are you listening to us on today?

All right, Michael, we're going to try to help you win the prize here, which will be a signed copy of my brand new book. It's called Star Spangled Blessings. You heard us talking about Mount Rushmore.

We need to know the four presidents who are currently on Mount Rushmore. Yes, sir, George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. Theodore Roosevelt. Abe Lincoln.

Yeah, that's it, Michael. Yeah, congratulations, sir. You are the big winner. How about that?

Well done. Awesome. Yeah, family actually just got back last night from visiting South Dakota. Is that right? Yes, sir.

Well, I'll be di what was their impression? Did they get to see Mount Rushmore? They did. That was uh what my daughter wanted to go do, and so we went up there and enjoyed it. Is it it I mean, I've never been to Mount Rushmore.

I know that's hard for people to believe, but is it as big and as it's so impressive on T V, what's it like being there in person? It is. It's just as impressive. And and, you know, honestly, it wasn't on my bucket list either. Things to go do, and when my daughter said she wanted to do that, she's twelve, I was like, All right, yeah, we'll go this summer.

Absolutely recommend it to anybody. It is stunning. All right, now Michael, what do you think though about the idea? Congressman Indy Ogles wants to put Trump's face up there. I mean, I'm uh I'm not against uh having Trump Recognized like that, but I kind of do agree with the park rangers.

I would like to preserve what's there. I would hate to. to destroy that in any way if you know, if it were a chance to destroy it. That's it's it's something to see. I cannot even imagine.

You know, one of the things I've been to, and I know our Georgia listeners would appreciate this, is Stone Mountain and the images that were carved into the side of Stone Mountain, which, by the way, I think Robert E. Lee and was it Jefferson Davis?

Somebody will tell me who's on there. But it's so, they don't look as large as you think they are. But one of the sculptors back when they were actually carving it, there's an image of them having lunch, like setting up a table and chair inside the nose of one of the guys. It was just incredible. But I don't know how they do it, but it is so incredibly impressive.

Michael, congratulations. We're going to put you on hold. We sure do appreciate you listening to the big talker out there, great folks in the panhandle of Texas. We do have a number of stations that now carry us across the great state of Texas.

So we certainly appreciate all of those. By the way, next hour, you will have an opportunity. To try your hand at winning a signed copy of Star-Spangled Blessings. All right, 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-2600.

26059. Two sex. Congressman Steve Scalise yesterday. And if this had been part of the branding of the BBB, I mean, and it has to be in your face branding. They would have had no problems at all getting this legislation through Congress.

Cut number three. If you're disabled on Medicaid right now, you've been crowded out of those programs by people turning down work, able-bodied people, 35-year-olds sitting at home playing video games. They're going to now have to go get a job. That's right. And by the way, that's a good thing for them.

Their mom doesn't want them sitting in the basement playing video games anyway. But now it no longer will be crowding out. Medicaid for the truly needy people who deserve it. And he's absolutely right. Again, all of these people saying, oh, you know, we're going to be kicking all these people.

We're going to be kicking grandma off of Medicaid. No, we're not. This has nothing to do with it. We're getting rid of the grifters. They're going to have to go out and they're going to have to go find jobs.

That's what this is really all about. And the Republicans need to start doing a better job of getting their message out there. to the voters, and it can't just be Fox News channel. By the way, and and this may just be me here, folks. But I am telling you right now That Fox News is not where most conservatives are getting their news and information.

It's not. Most people are now getting their, I mean, and it's really balkanized. People are just not going to Fox News en masse as much as they used to. Yeah, they're still number one, but number two and climbing is Newsmax. But then there are so many other platforms out there where people are getting their news and information.

And we were talking about this a few days ago on the program, Where Do You Get Your News From? And so for the administration, and it's really been a problem because they will not allow, the White House will not allow. Trump administration officials to go on other networks, to go onto other platforms, unless it's Fox News channel, which is why Pam Bondi has pretty much become an on air personality at Fox News. And they've got to fix that. We've been trying to tell them, and the only reason I'm talking about it now is for the past five months, I've been encouraging the administration.

talking to people saying, hey, guys. You gotta you gotta loosen up here. You gotta loosen up. You gotta start getting your your people on On other venues and other platforms besides Fox News Channel. But they don't want to do it, so that's that.

And that's, it is just, it's a missed opportunity, is what it is. Just a missed opportunity.

So, look, we're going to be keeping you updated throughout today's program when we finally do have the big The big vote? Whenever that's going to happen. But here's the thing, the longer the Democrats talk, the more popular the more popular Donald Trump becomes. And the more respect I think people are going to have for President Trump. My argument has never been with President Trump.

It has been with the people who surround him. because many of them do not have the presidents They don't have his agenda at the top of their list. A lot of these folks in the White House, it's all about grifting. It's all about the next thing for them. Because they know that at the end of the day, It's a four-year gig, if that.

So, all of these folks are trying to posture, and that's why you got to be, you just have to be careful about all of this. That's all I'm trying to say. 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-2600-06. 260-5926. Going back to what Scale said, here is Congresswoman Miller Meets, cut number four.

These things are very popular. Also, if you're an able-bodied adult, an adult without disabilities with no dependent children under age 18, the vast majority of Americans, and certainly Iowans, think that you ought to work if you want free stuff. If you choose not to work, then that is your choice. You need to take some responsibility for yourself instead of asking your 55-year-old neighbor to continue working so you can get free stuff. If you're disabled, you will be covered.

And I think this is a lot of fear-mongering. We've heard that repetitively. And so, and as we know, minority leader Jeffries has a voice that will lull you to sleep.

So, it's been a very long night. Dawn is upon us. It's a dawn of a new day in America. Yeah. Dollar Store Obama, that guy.

By the way, this is good news. You know, the rainbow-colored crosswalks? Man, these things are crazy. I always tell straight people: do not cross over a rainbow-colored crosswalk. It's a trap.

It is a trap.

So now the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, coming in, and he's sending a letter to all 50 state governors, and he's urging them to remove these rainbow-colored crosswalks, these gay crosswalks. And he said the reason why is it's dangerous.

Now, I know what you're thinking here, but look, back in 2011, this was during Obama's reign. The Federal Highway Administration ruled that these crosswalks are creating big problems, safety problems, for not only motorists, but also pedestrians.

So it's not like they're being anti-gay because that's what people are going to, oh, well, Trump's anti-gay. He doesn't want to have inclusive crosswalks. He doesn't want to have diverse crosswalks. He's an anti-gay crosswalk person. No.

No, no, that's not it at all. As a matter of fact, the complete opposite is true because the president just doesn't want these pansexuals to become somebody's hood ornament. Nobody wants that. All right, got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Starring Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd's. Star. Setters, that's right. I love this American ride.

Well, hello, everybody. Happy Independence Day Eve to you, America. I'm Todd Stearns. Great to have you with us today. And we are watching.

Hakeem Jeffries, known in some circles as Dollar Store Obama. He is still waxing, not necessarily poetically, from the house floor. Hakeem Jeffries has been going at it for hours now. No word on when his voice is going to give way, but we are anticipating some sort of a vote on the BBB today. By the way, Vice President Vance tweeted out earlier today that at least one Republican holdout has already decided that he will be voting in favor of the BBB.

Just to spite Hakeem Jeffries.

So there you go. All right. I want to go right away to our Patriot mobile newsmaker line. Say hello to our good friend. He is the president of Young America's Foundation, former Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker.

Governor, hope you're doing well today. Hey, I'm doing extremely well. Yeah, we just keep Congressman Jeffries talking. He'll take care of any of the holdouts there. They'll all be pushed.

The right way. You know, it it's amazing, Governor, when you look at just the incredible successes of the Trump administration thus far. And no matter what they try to throw at this guy, it always ends up working out in the president's favor. It really does. I mean, look at the new job numbers, better than expected.

Look at the number of migrants crossing two months in a row, zero compared to massive thousands, in this case, over one hundred thousand a year ago at the same time. you look at the trade bills being pushed I mean, obviously, there's a lot of people in the in the media and in the establishment in the swamp. That look down their noses at President Trump, but he's getting the job done. And this will be one more big, big example, particularly as we avoid. What would otherwise be a massive uh tax increase next year Combined with ICE, you think the biggest, most important thing in in the bill we're talking about is requiring working age, able bodied adults to get back into the workforce.

I think that's a huge part of it, and the numbers are just really staggering. What was it? I mean, just millions and millions of people that are committing fraud. I mean, these people are capable of working, and that is a big part of who we are as Americans, Governor, this American work ethic.

Well, that's exactly right. I did that when I was governor and said it's simple. A public assistance should be like a trampoline, not like a hammock. Meaning, if you're down and out, we'll help you get back up again. But we're for those who are able, for those who are not children, not retirees, physically and mentally capable working, we expect them Not just because we're tough, not just because we want to save money, which it does, but because we know inherently.

True freedom and prosperity don't come from the clumsy hand of the government. They come from empowering people to live their own lives and control their own destinies through hard work. And that's exactly what this will do. I remember as a kid growing up, and I was a child of the 70s and 80s, and we would go on these church youth like mission trips.

So we'd go to an impoverished neighborhood and help people out. I'll never forget this, Governor. And we were walking through one neighborhood, and you couldn't help but notice, you know, at the time there were these big screen TVs, there were new cars. And I'm like, holy cow, you know, this is not how we live, you know, back home. And you know that this kind of fraud has been around for a very long time.

And I'm not saying that people, if you're living on government assistance, you shouldn't have nice things, but that should not be your priority.

Well, right.

So the whole thing it ties in with my Secretary Kennedy's doing. The healthier lifestyle too of why are we paying, you know, for tons of junk food. When it comes to public assistance, there as well. There's just a whole litany of things. And again, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to survive, but when you look at the cars, the TVs, the extras, you go anywhere else in the world.

For all the talk about people living in poverty, the people who consider themselves poor in America, by and large, would be middle class or higher in most other places around the world. Going to po in fact, I'll be at a talking about a mission trip on a mission trip in October, we're going to Guatemala and those those are places where You see people there in Tanzania and other places where we do some work where you really do see abject poverty. And the irony of ironies, uh when we talk about socialist and communist, is that uh the work being done by the free market capitalism has done more to bring down those numbers in terms of true poverty than any social program has in the world. And so we need to keep doing that, keep encouraging more free enterprise and less socialism and certainly less communism. There are a couple of surveys, and they always come out with these things around the holidays.

The Daily Signal talking about this Gallup survey, only 58% of Americans overall say they are extremely proud to be an American. When they first started asking the question back in 2001, that number was at 87%. And yet, when you look at the younger side of Generation Z, this is a generation that certainly seems to be reconnecting with a lot of traditional American values. What's your take on the surveys? Yes, I think it's exactly right.

I think there's some excitement brewing there. I think that the build off it, you see that our generation, Gen X and then those little bit older baby boomers have a very strong sense of patriotism. I think that's Aligned with a lot of things, but not the least of which is we were actually taught American world history.

So we know. Have to take these things for granted. We know how blessed we are. Ronald Reagan gave this incredible warning back in January of 89 about. Going into the 90s, ironically, he was talking to the parents of what are now millennials and said, you know, we got our patriotism back, but we have to reinstitutionalize it.

And he talked about teaching more American history and doing more shared civic ritual. that's where I think that gap was with millennials and the early wave of Gen Z. was uh in fact many of the cases our liberal education establishment really kind of pushed True objective American history out. We're seeing some of that come back. We're seeing that resurgence of pride of President Trump and others.

We just I think the next steps we need to take, I talk about in the Washington Times tomorrow on the fourth, we need to spell out all across America, if you want to graduate If you want to be an American student graduating from high school, you should take basic American history so much so that you should be able to at a minimum be able to pass the same citizenship test we require new citizens to take And on top of that, I think if you're going to go to college or a technical school, Yeah, you should have some basic requirement to take a course. In American history and government. I think when people understand our history and they understand our form of government, they're much more likely to be engaged and much more likely to be proud about how remarkable our country is. I keep going back to this speech that President Reagan delivered, and I know that you guys have completely embraced President Reagan and you're the caretakers of the incredible Reagan Ranch. And the speech that Reagan gave about our national anthem, and he says, you know, what's interesting about our anthem, it really doesn't make a declarative statement.

It's a series of questions. Is the flag still there? Is it still flying? And it really is this question that I think every generation of Americans has to answer. That's exactly right, Wes.

We look ahead, one of the things projects we're going to take on with college, high school, and now middle school students. Young America's Foundation, YAF.org, if people are interested. Coming up a year going into twenty twenty six, we're a year from tomorrow we celebrate. The 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, the formation of this nation. Is instead of America at 250, we're going to call it Freedom at 250.

And it really begs the question: you know, for these. uh fifty six individuals who literally risked everything. They th they could they could have been hung, they could have been tortured, many of them lost everything, and yet they didn't back down, they didn't flinch. What as Americans are we willing to do? to sustain those freedoms in this great republic that we live in, these United States of America.

What are we willing to do to ensure it for future generations? And I think that's critically important now more than ever.

Well, I do too. And that's why the mission of Young America's Foundation, and by the way, folks, yaffyaf.org, you got to go check them out and find out ways that you can get plugged in and get involved. But just teaching and raising up that next generation of conservative Americans and teaching them what it means to be a conservative. And as you pointed out, now going into the middle schools, I'm just so excited to see that because we need something to combat the indoctrination these kids are getting in the classroom, Governor. Absolutely.

And the good news is when they hear it, it's it's why there's a bill in North Carolina to require a three credit course in every college, every public institution and In North Carolina, almost 700. UNC Chapel Hill professors A letter in opposition to it. All it requires is you have to do things like read the Constitution, read the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation. Dr. King's letter from Birmingham Jail, at least five of the Federalist papers.

I mean, key documents were that were fundamental to the founding of this nation. I believe the reason they objected that is because They want to tell students how bad America is. They don't want them to read firsthand. What formed this great nation. And so we got to keep pushing that.

We should all, that's a great thing for the Ford. more than just fireworks and hot dogs and burgers. we dedicate ourselves to making sure that we pass on the greatness of America now more than ever. Governor, are you back in Wisconsin for the fourth? I am.

I'm sitting right outside the Wisconsin State Fair right now and Picking up some goodies and paying some visits. They'll see some fireworks tonight, tomorrow night, and a big party at our house on Saturday.

So, a lot of good fun.

Well, I hope you and the Walker family hope you guys have a great 4th of July. Thanks a lot, Governor. Same to you. Happy Independence Day. All right.

Happy Independence Day. Governor Scott Walker from Young America's Foundation. I love that organization. And they're just doing some incredible work educating next generation conservatives in America. By the way, someone sent me a note.

Right now, at this very moment, they are grilling some 2,000 hamburgers at the White House, scaring up for tomorrow's big, big Fourth of July celebration in Washington, D.C. You know, one of the things I'm really excited about, and I've got a copy, those of you watching us on our YouTube, Rumble, and Facebook live streams, you can see I've got my little hardcover copy of Star Spangled Blessings: Devotions for Patriots. And sometime during this hour, I want to read to you some thoughts. From this book, because it really is a wonderful way to reflect and be inspired as we kick off this 250th anniversary year coming up, where this is 249. Tomorrow is 249, but we're going to be gearing up and celebrating for an entire year.

What does America look like? And what should America look like over the next two hundred fifty years? This great American experiment. And when you look back on our history, you just have to marvel at God's hand guiding those little pilgrims in those tiny ships, coming to America, coming to this vast wilderness, and the incredible miracles that happened along the way. The fact that we were almost ripped apart as a nation during the Civil War, And yet we were able to overcome that.

And every single generation brings something new to this great American experiment.

So, anyway, we're going to take a quick break here. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, welcome back, everybody.

This is the Todd Sterns radio show. I want to share with you some thoughts out of Star Spangled Blessings Devotions for Patriots. This is actually the introduction of the book that I'm going to be reading from, and I just think it's apropos, especially as we get ready to celebrate our nation's great birthday tomorrow. This is called Our Star-Spangled Blessings. I've often wondered what our founding fathers would think of this great American experiment.

Imagine George Washington strolling down the Las Vegas Strip or Thomas Jefferson riding the Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood. Think of Thomas John or think of John Adams catching a throwed roll at Lambert's Cafe in Missouri. I wonder if they would be awestruck by the fireworks in New York City on the Fourth of July, or if they would cheer at the Super Bowl. Would they marvel at the soaring gateway arch in St. Louis and the majesty of the Rocky Mountains?

Would Betsy Ross wash down a moon pie with an R C cola? On the last day of the Constitutional Convention of seventeen eighty seven, Benjamin Franklin was asked if we had a republic or a monarchy. A republic if you can keep it, he replied. There is no doubt that America is the most exceptional nation in the world. In the face of great adversity and insurmountable odds, we have overcome and we have been blessed.

That's really the theme of this devotion book: to reflect on those star-spangled blessings. That's not to say our great nation has not been through some squabbles. There have been more than a few, and some were doozies. We've made lots of mistakes, but we've also righted many wrongs. Perseverance.

Well, that's a word that's defined us over the years. FDR announcing to the nation a date that. Would live in infamy, Walter Cronkite delivering a news bulletin from Dallas, Texas, President George W. Bush standing on the pile of rubble at Ground Zero with a bullhorn. Yet, in the midst of great tragedy, our nation has always found strength in Almighty God.

Our defender and our protector, President Trump knows of that strength, that divine intervention, he survived not one but two assassination attempts. During a speech in 2024, Trump said many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason, and that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission together. I vividly recall watching as the shots rang out in Butler County, Pennsylvania. My heart stopped as Trump dropped to the stage, but then he rose up and with blood streaming down his face he thrust his fist into the air, shouting Fight, fight, fight President Trump would then urge Americans to read their Bibles, get back to church and pray.

Let's make America pray again, he said. It's that sort of American spirit that has resonated with people across the fruited plain. There are these moments that define us as a nation. Our little book is packed with big stories about why this nation is the most exceptional. country in the world, each chapter includes a prayer for patriots, a liberty lesson to inspire you to take action in what we like to call a Yankee doodle.

some practical questions to help you apply our devotions to your daily life, and I suspect that you will discover our Yankee doodles are indeed dandy. We've also added a few recipes for your next Fourth of July gathering, church dinner on the grounds, or neighborhood potluck. Take time to gather with your fellow Americans and celebrate our great country and our faith. Lee Greenwood is a dear friend of mine, and his anthem, In the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, still brings a tear to my eye as I write these words from the hills of Tennessee. I suspect that if our founding fathers were here to day, They would love this land from sea to shining sea, and they would join their fellow countrymen.

and asking God to bless the USA.

So pour yourself a glass of lemonade. Settle into your front porch swing and discover our nation's star-spangled blessings. And that is the very first introduction to our 40 devotions that we've compiled together, along with some wonderful recipes in the book Star Spangled Blessings Devotions for Patriots. And I really want to encourage you to go during the break, or you can go right now to Amazon and you can order a hardcover edition of this book. And a lot of people, and we have noticed this, that people are buying like five, ten, five.

15 copies of the book, so they can give them out as gifts throughout the year.

So you can certainly do that. And by the way, the cheapest place to do this: there's two places: either Walmart or Amazon, and that's where you're going to be able to get the best bang for the buck, as they say. All right, again, Star Spangled Blessings, Devotions for Patriots, available at your favorite bookstore. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, Hakeem Jeffries has officially made history, Dollar Store Obama.

Now, speaking for nearly nine hours, that is the longest speech in the history of the House of Representatives. You know what's interesting? Back in twenty twenty two, Jeffries was out there. talking about the filibuster and which is what this guy's doing, he's filibustering. He said the filibuster is dripping in racist history.

And it's true. Apparently, it is true.

So, there you go. No word on when this is all going to wrap up, but they're going to try to embarrass Trump. I think the Democrats ultimately are embarrassing themselves. Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Program.

So, there is a weird story out of Memphis, Tennessee. And I know there's a lot of weird stuff happening in town, but this really is just bizarre.

So, we have a minor league ball team called the Memphis Redbirds. We are affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals. And back in the day, When Memphis was safe, I mean, they would pack out the stadium. You couldn't get a seat.

But now. Memphis ranks at the bottom, dead last in attendance.

So, anyway, the marketing people who are really good. They decided, you know what, we're going to come up with an idea to pack people into the ballpark. And they came up with a 4th of July celebration. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet. It was ribs.

Hot dogs, pulled pork, all the fixins, and the price $47.45. That was the price of the all-you-can-eat buffet. They called it the big, beautiful buffet. And then all you know what broke loose because the local newspaper got involved and they're all upset. They're accusing them of being I don't know what anti I don't know pro Trump or anti I don't know what they're anti.

But the local newspaper, the Daily Memphis, and these people are are whack jobs, and then the reporter. I got to read this to you. The event had clear connotations with President Donald Trump, whose administration is working to get the controversial big beautiful tax bill passed. The event price was also a nod for Trump, who is both the 45th and 47th president. It's like, dude.

Chill out.

Okay, it's it's gonna be okay. Jody Callahan is the writer. Just take a breath, Jody. It's gonna be okay. By the way, that is sort of clever.

4745. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line and bring in our good friend from Memphis, by the way, Republican strategist Luke Simbel. Luke, happy Independence Day weekend to you. Happy Independence Day, Todd. You know, I'll tell you, this This red bird's debilacle.

is just yet another example of number one, why you need PR people with some cajones, and number two, how the radical left ruins everything. God forbid, on an Independence Day weekend, a baseball game with the stars and stripes. Flying and patriotic music in the air, where you bring the entire family and you want to enjoy a buffet, God forbid you reference President Trump in any way. And what happened with this latest example? Is that maybe 40%, 30%, 40% of the community was a little bit annoyed by it, and you had some weathered purple-haired hippies write about it on social media and say, How dare you reference Trump in your buffet?

And you might have had 30%, most of whom don't even go to baseball games anyway. The majority of folks. We were supportive and excited about the buffet. And then the Redbirds decided to cancel the buffet because of the Trump connotation and the so-called manufactured outrage. And now you've pissed off the other half of the country and the community because you rolled back the buffet and you didn't stand strong.

So now everybody's annoyed and upset. This angers me. You know, at first I thought, oh, God, they're serving watermelon. It was on the menu. And I thought, uh-oh, you know how that goes.

But this one, you know, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, we're in Memphis. I got you.

So I'm going over the menu. It was house-smoked ribs. That's always good. Hot dogs, Southern-style coleslaw, baked beans, barbecued pulled pork, potato chips, watermelon, fresh-baked cookies, and then you get the sweet tea, all for the patriotic presidential price of $47.45. A little pricey, but you know, it's still, it's all you can eat.

Yeah, and you know, all the freedom-loving Americans who want to bring the fan to a baseball game, there's nothing more American than that. There's nothing more American than some hot dogs and burgers and ribs. And I thought it was, you know, a little tongue-in-cheek with the one big, beautiful buffet. It was clever. It was fun.

You know, obviously, the big, beautiful bill is in the news all over the place. People know what that's referencing. And, you know, you had a few angry people that the news article mentioned on a Reddit.

Well, I can assure you, Todd, that subreddit is not representative of America at large and particularly the America that enjoys baseball. No, no, no. You know exactly where this is the news, the Daily Memphian, those un-American bastards over the Daily Memphian. They hate country. They hate our country.

They hate our president. Clearly, they hate ribs. Luke Simple, and I think they went out looking. They just went out looking, lurking, trying to find somebody that was saying something outrageous about the big, beautiful buffet. That's exactly right.

And if you go and read the comments on the article, there are so many folks who are commenting and saying, what the heck? Why would anybody be upset? We're tired of living in this stupid, manufactured, outrage society that anytime anything right of the aisle is mentioned, God forbid. And again, I don't think it's representative of the country. It is certainly not representative of families who want to take their, you know, families who want to join in a baseball game on Independence Day weekend, have a hot dog, enjoy some popcorn, you know, take me out to the ball game, singing some patriotic songs.

They really shot themselves in the foot. And the Redbirds should have held strong. And by pulling back the one beautiful buffet and apologizing from the manufactured because of the manufactured outrage, then they just made everybody else annoyed. And they should have just. Such strong.

We support them. It makes me want to go watch some baseball and have a hot dog talk.

Somebody should have told them to shove those burnt ends where the sun don't shine. That's what I would have done. But they should have called you first. They didn't ask my opinion. That's exactly right.

By the way, Luke, you're right. They did apologize. I can't believe that they apologized.

So everybody, and again, it was just the newspaper. Nobody's really upset about this except these idiots on Reddit, and they're all a bunch of leftist lunatics. And they actually, I want to read the apology. We understand that our recent post missed the mark and unintentionally caused offense that was never our intent. And we've removed the content.

We appreciate your feedback and are committed to doing better. Our goal is to always bring fun and excitement to AutoZone Park. We're here for baseball, fireworks, great food. We'll blah, blah, blah. Why why surrender Luke?

Why do they do this all the time?

Well, I don't know. We're past the point of surrendering. The country is shifting back to normalcy. And the Redbirds should have joined us, and maybe they'll learn from their mistake. And all this does is embolden the crazy radicals who decided to stir up the manufactured controversy just because it referenced the President of the United States.

And by the way, Todd, normal everyday Americans who are Trump-loving America-first patriots, You know, they may not have liked President Obama. They certainly didn't like President Biden, but they would have understood on an Independence Day baseball game that maybe the president was referenced, right? And all this is, is a lesson that you don't back down, continue forward. Normal people are behind you, and normal people are not on Reddit or creating fake bot profiles on Facebook to comment on the Redbirds posts. And now those folks are just emboldened.

They're going to be watching everything the Redbirds do because they know that they will be able to get them to succumb to their radical leftist ideology, apparently. But hopefully Redbirds stay strong. Freedom-loving Americans love baseball. They love the Redbirds. And we're working really, really hard in Memphis to get crime under control so that families from all around the area can come join baseball games again.

Some guy writes in on the Daily Memphian website, I'm glad to see this article. The Redbirds do not get a pass on this, they don't get a pass. Politicizing. Politicizing the America pastime on the 4th of July is just wrong. We go to the ballpark to forget about politics and comprehensible.

It's like that cat lady ant that you have who never got married and his purple hair and the big plastic glasses joining your table at Thanksgiving, and she just spouts off obnoxiously. I mean, those are the type of people we're dealing with. And nobody wants to hang out with them for an extended period of time. That's why they barely get an invitation to the Thanksgiving dinner table. And, you know, the red birds, again, Freedom-loving Americans support baseball.

They support the Redbirds. They want to have a hot dog and a Rib buffet. And in fact, they want it to be one big, beautiful buffet.

So maybe in the future, we can have our own little big, beautiful buffet. We can rent a box, Todd, and invite our friends, and we'll have a big, beautiful buffet. I'm not going downtown. They steal the cars. I mean, that's why nobody's going to the games.

And you can't take an Uber in Memphis because Well, it's Methodist. But we're working on it. You don't want to do that. We're working on it to get it under control. You don't want to do that.

All right. Luke Symbol. Luke, have a great Fourth of July celebration. Thank you, sir. Happy intended state to you.

All right. Wow. This is insane. Memphis, are you paying attention or this is just nuts? And I don't know if the Daily Memphis, they just go out of their way to hire these libtards, but that's all this is.

And they were searching out some sort of a controversy to attack a minor league ballpark. You know what the real issue is, though? I'm going to tell you what the real problem is not the whole big, beautiful buffet. The real problem, and they mention this in the story, and it's a throwaway line, and it's really, it's ultimately, it is the root of the issue. It turns out the Memphis Redbirds, for the first time in however long, did not hold a Gay Pride celebration.

And that's what this is all about. Look, you can't get out there and celebrate the red, white, and blue unless you celebrate the rainbow flag. Otherwise, there's going to be you know what to pay. And I think ultimately that's what's going on here. But this is just insane.

I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, do you have a problem here with the Memphis Redbirds? wanting to host a big, beautiful buffet. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. We're going to be talking about this tonight on Newsmax, 5 o'clock Eastern.

Also, we will be providing you live coverage from the President's huge America 250 celebration in Des Moines, Iowa. That's all starting tonight, 5 o'clock Eastern. Newsmax, by the way, just went public on the New York Stock Exchange, and millions of people are joining our news revolution. We are now the fourth highest-rated news channel just behind CNN. Reuters calling us one of the top news brands in America.

40 million Americans now going to Newsmax. Download our free Newsmax app on your smartphone or TV. You can start watching today. You can also get the free Newsmax app and also check out Newsmax shares on the New York Stock Exchange. Go to NewsmaxInvest.com.

That's NewsmaxInvest.com. No, no, no. It aggravates me because, you know, Memphis would be a great town if the media just did its job. And unfortunately, when it comes to the media, and I don't know what it's like in your communities, but there is literally a brain drain. I mean, back in the day, you could at least count on your local news stations and, you know, maybe not the local newspaper, but at least the TV stations.

They hired a couple of conservatives, people who knew what was going on. But now they're just hiring kids right out of journalism school. They got no training. They're all flat-out liberals, and they are spewing this leftist propaganda like nobody's business. I have never seen anything like this.

And that's one of the reasons why nobody watches TV here in the Memphis area. And the newspapers are the worst, just the absolute worst. And this Daily Memphis and their cahoots with the. With the public welfare broadcasting channels, you know, the PBS and the NPR stuff.

So they're all in cahoots, and they just look for opportunities to attack anybody who's trying to do something patriotic. If they had spent as much time reporting on the crime, and that's, by the way, that's the reason why people don't want to go downtown to the ball games, is because when you go to get your car, the windows are broken. And by the way, I'm not making this up. We're talking dozens and dozens and dozens of cars that have been broken into in downtown at the ballpark. And people just, you know, they don't want to risk it anymore.

It's just not worth it. And so instead of having a nice night at the ballpark, and by the way, the Memphis Redbirds, I don't blame them. And they're getting pretty close to packing up and heading out as well. We've already lost our soccer team. But again, it's not the Redbirds.

They've got a great stadium. They've got a great product. They're trying to do some creative, fun stuff. But it's, you know, people just aren't mo going downtown because it's so doggone dangerous. And I hate it for him because you know a lot of people, you know, that used to be a fun thing to do.

You take your kids and you're making memories. And then, when you go to get into your car, your car's either been stolen or they broken into it. No, I'm not saying who's doing it. We'll call them young scholars. Young scholars are the ones doing it.

It was brutal.

So, anyway, shame on the daily Memphian. You guys.

So unpatriotic, and it's just so outrageously ridiculous. And the good people of Memphis deserve better, which is one of the reasons why I bought the radio station.

So at least we can talk about these kinds of things. 901-260-5926, our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. No idea. When Jeffries is going to wrap this thing up. But he's gonna go he's gonna go as long as he possibly can.

to embarrass Donald Trump, and I find that to be really sad. Really sad. All right, some good news here, ladies and gentlemen, for young girls in sports. The Supreme Court announced today That they will decide once and for all whether boys who identify as girls can compete against girls. And they're going to be reviewing two cases: one in Idaho and the other in West Virginia.

Both cases focus on state laws that prevent biological boys from competing against girls.

So here's the deal. The West Virginia folks are extremely excited about this, calling it a great day for female athletes. Attorney General John McCuskey is his name. And he says the people of West Virginia know that it's unfair to let boys compete against girls. Idaho, by the way, the first state in the union to ban transgender athletes, their case involves a male athlete who wanted to compete on the Boise State University women's track team.

So the Supreme Court is taking up both of those cases, and this will be one of those landmark rulings that will impact every state in the Union. And of course, the huge news this week, the University of Pennsylvania waving the white flag of surrender. And they're saying, you know what? We're sorry, we didn't mean to. They really don't mean it, but they're having to do it because they don't want to lose all the money.

but they're apologizing to all of the female athletes who had to share a locker room with that dude, Leah Thomas, and they're also stripping Thomas of all of his swimming records and his victories, and they're going to be making all of this right for the girls. I mean, unfortunately, You know, you can't go back and undo all of this stuff. You can't. I mean, what's the damage has been done.

So I'm glad that They did this. But they don't mean it. They're only doing it because Trump will. And they know it, Trump will defund them.

So they know what's coming. But anyway, the good news is that these girls, or at least all of them, are going to be getting a written apology. We had one of the athletes on the Newsmax show yesterday, and she was pretty ecstatic about all of this, calling this a great win for For female athletes, and it is. All right, got to take a quick break here, folks.

So, we're going to be talking to Florida Congressman Mike Haradopoulos a little bit later on, Dalton Glascock. Drops by as well. Don't forget, folks, go get a copy of Star Spangled Blessings. This little book is going to bless your heart. I can promise you that.

And you can get it wherever you buy your books, Amazon as well. All right, hang tight. Hour three of the big show coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. It's America's conservative blowtorch.

That's right. I love this American ride. Todd Starge.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starge Radio Program. Happy to have you with us today. By the way, our telephone number this hour, and we're doing open line Thursday because tomorrow we are taking the day off.

So, you get to call in and talk about whatever is on your mind today. Our telephone number 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. I saw a story the other day. And I knew that we had to talk to our next guest because it's a shocking story.

Now Many of you live in great cities, great towns. There's a lot happening. There's a lot going on. And then there are towns where maybe not so much is going on. And A survey has been conducted and it's making headlines across America, the most boring cities in the United States.

And I was rather stunned to see one of the atop One of the top most boring cities, number two, actually, behind Jacksonville, Florida. Is Wichita Kingensis, which is where our next guest lives. He is on the city council there and also serves as the chief executive officer for our great company, Dalton Glasscock. Dalton, happy, happy Independence Day. Happy Independence Day, Todd.

Always happy to join you, especially this weekend. Perfect. Yeah, so look, we'll talk about what you guys. I guess you guys aren't doing anything because you're just so boring there in Wishatodd. You got nothing going on.

Those are fighting words, and you know that's not true. But I will say, if most boring means one of the safest places to live, we'll claim it. If it means quiet, we'll claim it. And if it means that you can live your life without government intrusion, then we'll claim it.

Well, I'm not sure that's it because Memphis is on the list, and I was stunned by that because, I mean, you're lucky to get out of this town alive.

So it's like every day there's an adrenaline rush.

So I would say we're... Maybe that isn't the best. I mean, murders in Wichita over the five-year average are down 45%. And I imagine in Memphis, they're probably up 45%. That's called lunchtime for us.

Yeah, we're. We're kidding. I mean, we got people dropping all over the place.

So the survey was done by Finance Buzz, and they claim that Wichita is the most second boring city in the nation. The conclusion is based on factors. Are you ready for this? The culinary scene. Nightlife Access to recreational activities, and here we go: the makeup of the population.

I think that means you folks are a little on the too white side. I've never experienced nightlife with you in Wichita, but I have taken you to, I think, some of the best culinary institutions in the country in Wichita. And I think you would vouch for that too. It was the place of the planes I took you that one time. I can't remember the name off the top of my head.

It was like a restaurant right there on the runway. You could literally watch the planes landing in this private airstrip as you were having dinner. See, tell me that isn't exciting. Was it exciting for you, Todd? I had a good time.

You guys, you took me to this place called the Doudah Diner? Yeah, the Dooda Diner, and we have like your monkey bread, which is like one of the best things as well, like cinnamon bread. And, you know, Kansas is known for our shopping. Chili and cinnamon rolls. And so I don't know if I've had you experience that in Midwest delicacy, but I would say that that's one of the culinary.

Final point of cancer.

Well, it's look, I'm I'm a big fan of Wichita. I think it's a great town. You guys have a lot of fun. And the recreational thing I don't get because you have a great river that goes through what, the downtown area, you got the the kayaking and the whatnot. There are plenty of ways that we could probably utilize the river more than we do, and that's something I'm pushing for on the city council.

I'm an outdoorsman. I go kayak, I hike, I run, and so I'm participating in recreational activities in Wichita every single day. And I would urge people from across the country, come to Wichita. You're going to get the best hospitality, it's the most affordable city to live in the United States. And so we'll prove to you it's not boring, and we'll prove you enough that you can move there because it's the most affordable place to live in America.

Well, there you go. And again, it's I just don't get it. I mean, you know, in Jacksonville, I yeah, I get that. It's just there's not a lot going on in Jacksonville. I mean, it's not like, you know, West Palm or, you know, Fort Lauderdale.

You've probably been to Wichita more than most cities across the country, Todd. I like Wichita. It's not you know what? You you know what I you know what I like about Wichita, though, is that you don't get shot at. You don't get carjacked.

You don't, you don't. We have 100% murder clearance rate this year. And I don't know if any other major city across the country would be able to say that. And I credit the Wichita Police Department and Chief Joe Sullivan for that. But we have 100% clearance rate that every single murder in Wichita has been solved and that there is somebody to hold account for it.

Now, let me say this. I will say this about Wichita, Kansas, because I have spent a lot of time there. And the downtown, it's vibrant, it's fun, it's walkable. You don't have to worry about people coming up and attacking you or mucking you. You can leave your car there, it's going to be back.

When you get, you know, when you finish doing what you're doing, your car is still going to be there. Those are some of the things. And you guys even have a pretty darn patriotic minor league ball team. We do. The wind surge is rolling it tonight.

They have some patriotic jerseys, and I know people are going to experience work on a red, wine and boom celebration this weekend. And leading up to the two hundred fifty, I think that's what makes the city well too Witchdog does that, and which of 10 are movers and shakers across the country and across the globe. All right, there you go. I mean, that's like a Chamber of Commerce ad right there.

So what's happening this weekend, big Fourth of July celebration there in the nation's heartland?

Well, I think we're getting ready to kick off the 250 celebrations, and I'm excited to help lead that effort in Wichita. And for me, it's about celebrating Wichita's contributions to the American story. And I think every American can lean into that. Your book talks about that, Star Spangled Blessing. It talks about how what has uniquely set America apart from every other country across the world and what makes us different and what should be blessed and reminded every single day that it's a blessing and it's a privilege to be an American and to wave the United States flag.

Well said. All right, Dalton Glascock. And do you have any responsibilities, like formal official responsibilities as a city councilman? Not this weekend. This weekend, I'll hopefully be just enjoying the fireworks.

I'll probably get a lot of firework complaint calls, but I imagine a lot of elected officials across the country are getting. But don't worry, America. Hopefully, the fireworks stop around the 6th or the 7th, because I think that's probably going to be the biggest complaint that people have.

Well, there you go. All right, Dalton Glascock, Dalton, always good hanging with you, my friend. You do a great job for our company, and we appreciate the great work you do for the city of Wichita. Go win that hot dog competition in Memphis, Dodd. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Thank you for there, Dalton. All right. That's actually Nathan's hot dog eating competition, and that is in. Mm-hmm. Coney Island.

By the way, have you seen have you seen the Dylan, do you watch have you watched the hot dog eating competition? Have you ever seen these competitive food eating things on T V? Yes. I'm close and personal. It's just flat-out disgusting.

Yeah, they should have a wide shot on the camera there for the. 70th hot dog that What's his name? Just hurls down every single time. Joey Chestnut. Joey Chestnut.

Yeah. It gets a little gross. It's disgusting.

So, the thing is, what you don't see is that you're in the blazing sun. There's no cover for the sun. You've got 10,000 people, and they're all like literally packed into this little area for the TV shot. It is so freaking hot. And it's like this.

This weird, like, um, it's not really perverted, but it's well, I guess it kind of is. Uh, but it's you've got all these circus freaks out there, and they have the aerial artist and these women, and they're trying to mount a giant hot dog that's like, again, suspended over the crowd. It's just very weird. I don't, and I don't think they show all of that on TV, but it's happening because I had to, I used to have to cover that when I was working at Fox. But what was so disgusting is they would, the way they do it is they literally shove the bun and the wiener into a glass of water and then they slurp it down.

That's that's the secret sauce. Yep. And to see the number of people and their gag reflexes, I mean, it's just hilarious. I would hate to be on the front row of that contest. I mean, there's a splash going for there.

Gotta be. Gotta yeah, there there's gotta be. You're right. All right, let's go. The phone's here.

901-260-5926. Let's go to North Carolina, the lovely Miss Patty. Hi, Miss Patty. What's going on?

Well I want to wish everybody a happy Fourth of July, Todd, you, Dylan, Cassie, Ben, all of you guys. I love you guys.

Well, Patty, we're pretty fond of you too. You're a great lady, and you're a huge part of our show. And I'm a huge MAGA girl, and I'm going to tell you something. Yep. These people haven't learned about Tom Tillis.

I was the first one on the phone in this thing. I was like, you gotta go, buddy. I'm not kidding, Todd. You know how I am? Oh, I know how you are.

By the way, what do you think about Laura Trump? I think she would be great. She's got my vote. I'm going to tell you right now, I like yes, I think she would be great. I think this the state of North Carolina I talk to a lot of people, and where I live in the area I live, it's all MAGA country, and they all would vote for her.

So I think she would win. I really do. We had a guy on. He's a GOP chairperson in one of the counties. And he was pointing out, he says, well, you know, she doesn't live here.

I don't think that really matters. I mean, she's from there and she's married and lives down in Florida now. But do you think that's going to be a big issue? Is that she does not live in North Carolina right now? No, I I don't believe that.

I think what she did for her Father-in-law, what she gives to Donald Trump? Her and Watley, come on, Todd, they did a Tremendous Job for him. Did they not? Yeah. No, I mean, you're right.

You're right. They did. She's very Smart girl, and I'm telling you, I think she would be perfect for the job. And she's got votes here. We want to vote her in.

But I want to say something about what this bill going through.

Now I'm There's never been a bill, a perfect bill.

Okay. Is there a purpose bill, Todd? No, I don't think so. I don't think so.

So whatever goes through with the help of God, you know, so I'm watching it on T V now and I'm hoping it I'm sure it's going to get the votes through, but I'm going to say something. Donald Trump Tenth approval rating is at sixty. Eight percent. It's it's Spectacular. I mean, you're looking at the most popular Republican president in American history.

That's what you're looking at here. Even more popular than Ronald Reagan. Yeah. What and everybody, I don't know, I don't know where you is, you know, on YouTube. I don't even go on that because you know what?

I don't want to hear these people, the left. The left will tru will make you want to, you know, they lie about everything. They lie.

So For four years we had a cadaver in there, right? Four years. Jill Biden, I think, was running the show. And I and you know what? Nobody's gonna get, you know Prosecuted for anything.

I don't believe, and that's the other thing that I want to bring up, Pam Bondi. Todd, where are they? It's a great question, Patty. It's a great question. Patty, I hate to do this.

We got to skedaddle. Do you have something big planned for the fourth? I'm just going to stay home in my pool. I'm going to take, we have a pool. I'm going to do some hot dogs.

And you know what? I'm just going to, you know, I rely on God to get me through the day because I'm, you know, with the cancer. But you know what? He's helping me, Todd. And I just want to wish you guys, be careful out there, okay?

I love you, Todd. Patty, you take care of your good self and celebrate. It is a great time to be an American. It's always a good time to be an American, but it's especially great now. Patty, God bless.

You take care. Folks, we've got to take a break. Open line Thursday here on the Todd Stern Show, 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Mm.

Is this our rights? See, the powerful thing about that is we're the first nation in the history of the world that acknowledged that our rights do not derive from government. They come from God Himself. You see that that's the only thing that we have to do. Those words up there, that motto, it says, In God We Trust, right above the speaker's rostum.

You know, a previous Congress put that there in the early 60s in the height of the Cold War. There's a little visitor's guide that people get when you do tours late at night. You've probably seen your constituents and visitors and friends get the guide. If you turn, I think it's about to page 21. It explains why that's there.

And it says Congress voted to put that there. As a rebuke to the Soviets' worldview at the height of the Cold War. Why? Because communism.

Socialism. Find their root in Marxism. And Marxism begins with the belief that there is no God. It's wrong. And this Congress made us stand those many years ago, and we should do it again.

We're different, we're distinct, we're exceptional because we acknowledge that right there, our motto. All right. Well said, Speaker Johnson. And ladies and gentlemen, we do have some breaking news to share with you. Breaking news now on the Todd Starn show.

It is now official. The big, beautiful bill has passed the House of Representatives. President Trump victorious once again, it's sort of like the Roadrunner and Wile Coyote. And we've given you this illustration many times before. But President Trump, just when you think you've got him cornered, just when you think that giant Acme Amble is going to fall on his head, guess what happens?

The Democrats get hosed every single time.

So congratulations to President Trump. We know of at least two Republicans who voted against it, but it doesn't really matter. It has now officially passed, and President Trump is victorious. And more importantly, you, the great taxpayers of America, are victorious because now those tax cuts are permanent. They will not expire at the end of the year.

And that is great news. For all of us.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Huge news coming from the nation's capital just mere moments ago. All right, our telephone number: 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. And we'll be taking your calls on that.

Coming up, we're going to be, I believe, talking to Congressman Herodopoulos. It's been really tough getting the lawmakers on today because of all the hullabaloo up there, but we will do our very best to try to get him on the program. Folks, I've got to tell you. When we look at things like faith and family and freedom, especially when it comes to privacy, that's one of the reasons why I am a customer of Old Glory Bank. They are amazing people.

And Old Glory Bank is not just any bank, it is a bank built for people who love this great country and refuse to be silenced, right? How many times have we seen stories about conservatives who have been canceled by their big banks? Old Glory Bank, they don't do that kind of stuff. Founded by our friends Larry Elder, Dr. Ben Carson, John Rich, they are great American patriots.

Old Glory Bank is FDIC insured. That means you're going to be able to trust this bank and you're going to be able to trust that your bank has your back and will not cancel, will not cave rather to the cancel culture or political agendas. I want you to go check them out today. Just take a look and see all the services they provide. Old GloryBank.com/slash Starnes is the website.

Old GloryBank.com/slash Starnes. They have some special. Opportunities just for our listeners. All right, hang tight, everybody. Got to take a break.

We'll be right back. On this vote. The Yays are 2.18, the Nays are 2.14. The motion is adopted. All right, that's what it sounded like just a few moments ago inside the House chamber.

Now there is a mad dash to Reagan National Airport. Everybody getting out of town for the 4th of July holiday.

So well done.

Well done, Speaker Johnson.

Well done, President Trump. The president will be able to sign this in spite of the insanity of Hakeem Jeffries and the leftists there.

So good job, one and all.

So, I'm catching a little bit of flack. I've got to share this story with you, and then I'm going to play some crazy audio for you. If you haven't seen the video, there's a video circulating of Rohan Mendami, and he's the guy that just is going to be the next mayor of New York City. He's a Muslim socialist. Actually, he's a communist.

Anyway, he's trying to be all things to all people, right? And so there's this video of him being interviewed. And the point of the interview was to portray him as some sort of, I don't know, a third world. A third world citizen, right? And he's eating a bowl of rice.

With his paws, with his hand. He's eating with his fingers.

So he's dipping his fingers in and he's slurping the rice off of his fingers. And so, anyway, it's caused a bit of controversy. I know that Dinesh D'Souza, for example, is saying that, hey, look, this is not how we do things in America. And Dinesh, by the way, comes from an Indian background. And he says, no, we eat with a knife and fork here.

So I wrote a column about this, which has caused a bit of concern. And I'm curious to hear your thoughts on, and this is my take on it. I want to read to you what I wrote. And then I'll, Raw Story is just enraged right now.

So the headline is: so now it's xenophobic to eat with cutlery.

So something is off about New York City mayoral candidate Zoron Mandami. The thirty-three year old. Muslim socialist who's only been a legal citizen of America for seven years. The so called Man of the People was recently filmed eating food with his fingers and talking with fake Middle Eastern accents. In truth, his parents are both millionaires and he lives in a multi million dollar apartment in New York City.

It's a bit ironic seeing how Mandami's campaign platform included a promise to tax the rich and specifically white people. He also wants to abolish or ban Americans from becoming Billionaires My culture lesson for Mandami, this is what Dinesh D'Souza wrote: Eating with your hands is acceptable when it's bread, naan, or pizza, not when it's soup, meatloaf, or mashed potatoes. Indians sometimes eat rice with their hands in India, but it's much more common in rural areas. In America, it's considered gross. Do you agree with that, ladies and gentlemen?

Defenders say those mocking Mamdomi for eating halal food with his fingers are xenophobic and racist. They say it's a sign of wait for it, ladies and gentlemen. Cutlery Shaming. The Zionists are mocking Mamdummy for eating rice with his hands. Your ancestors ate with hands, too, until cutlery became class signaling, wrote one defender.

Eating with hands is not primitive, it's cultural. intentional and deeply human. Mocking it? That's ignorance dressed in superiority.

Well, yeah, our I think our ancestors, the c you know, back in the caveman times, yeah, they did not use cutlery. But you know what? We have evolved a little bit since then, and so now we use a knife and a fork and a spoon. And if we're at the Red Lobster, a salad fork. Another said people are outing themselves as being racist because they watched one video of Mam Domi eating with his hands as if wings, burgers, and fries weren't staples of American culture, all of which are finger foods.

And this is where I kind of got into trouble. That's because French fries and hamburgers and wings are meant to be eaten with your hands, ladies and gentlemen. Burgers and ribs are finger foods. Potato salad and porridge are not.

So anyway, I said I just had a question.

So, Mamdomi was a student at the exclusive Bowden College in Maine. All right? It cost nearly $94,000 a year to go to school there. $94,000 a year. My question is: did Mamdomi routinely eat scrambled eggs and pasta in the campus cafeteria with his fingers?

or with a fork. Or is it more plausible that this guy is some sort of a wealthy leftist plant who's trying to woo voters by cosplaying as an impoverished third world immigrant? Either that or maybe he's just an anti-Semitic Communist slob.

So that set off. All of these leftists today who are now accusing yours truly of being a xenophobic racist. I don't think I'm a xenophobic racist. I just, I think it's really weird. and quite frankly uncouth.

To eat with your fingers. In America. This is why God gave us forks and knives and spoons.

So, anyway, ladies and gentlemen, now Raw Story is demanding that I apologize. They actually took my anti-Semitic communist slob line, and that's their headline. Conservatives rage over Mamdummi's eating habits. No, we're raging over his authenticity. This guy's pretending to be something that he is not.

Not That's all.

So there you have it. But they're the folks over at Raw Story are Very upset with yours truly right now. 901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. All right, I got to play this audio.

Man, Trump is causing people to lose. To lose their minds.

So, the latest, I want you to hear this guy, he's some old dude and he's wearing cherry red lipstick. Take a listen. Hello, it's the master. The reason I have red lipstick on is because on a demonstration in Traverse City, there are thousands of us. And red lipstick, I was informed last night by my friend Jen, was a form of resistance when Hitler was trying to take over the world.

He didn't like women wearing red lipstick.

So I've decided red lipstick. Everybody put on red lipstick to show resistance against you-know-who. Dylan, why are you laughing?

Well, I saw the video. It's not put on very well, I will say. He missed a couple spots on his lip. I think he's got the stubby fingers, right? He's got like the sausage fingers.

So you can't really, you've got to have lady fingers to be able to do that correctly. And I'm glad it only took one friend, his friend Jen, to tell him this was the thing.

Something revolution here. Hitler didn't like lipstick. All right. Well, here's the thing. I think, though, if Hitler didn't like lipstick on women, I'm pretty certain he wouldn't like lipstick on men.

I I don't want to go out on a limb, you know, and call Hitler a homophobe, but you know. I'm just saying.

So, anyway, yesterday we played some audio. We have to go back and play this again. It's just, it's mind-boggling.

So, here's a dude, and he really does believe that people are literally loading up illegals into airplanes, and that Trump is dumping them. They're flying the planes over the ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and they're just. Dumping all of the illegals into the ocean, Tiggle is I can't believe I've just heard this. Did you know this? Crump!

It's He has ordered the illegals to be shackled. flown out over the ocean. and thrown out into the ocean. That's right! How is it possible?

Just taking people, just ripping them off the streets, ripping your friends, your neighbors, your relatives, he's taking them, putting metal on them like the slaves of the past. Flying them out over the ocean. And Throwing them out, we get him all. A heartless person does that! He's gotta be stopped!

What do we do? We've tried everything. We've tried to arrest him. We've tried to get him in court. We've tried.

Duh. Everything and now he's Throw it. people out in the ocean to be eaten by sharks and whales. What is America become? The fascists, the fascists, they're feeding us to the fish.

I just figured out who this guy reminds me of. It was driving me nuts. I mean, who is this guy? He reminds me of Sylvester the Cat from the Looney Tunes. Remember the Looney Tunes?

Suffer and socketites! Dylan, go find some suffering succotash from Sylvester at the Puddy Tat.

So for instance I got a hitch. What has happened in this country? Suffer and succotash It's terrible. That can't be real, right? I mean, that is that a parody?

I that's got to be a parody. I don't but I don't know. It may not be a parody. These guys have are their they've lost their marbles. Then you've got this gal, and she's down there in Florida, and she's very upset because she said that a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend's neighbor told her that they were actually incinerating people.

They were installing incinerators at Alligator Alcatraz. The insinuation is, as Joyless Reed from MSDNC, well, formerly of MSDNC, now she's on the unemployment line. Do we know if if Joyless is getting a government assistance? You know, it's tough for everybody out there these days. I mean, nobody wants anybody to get fired, but you know, it it happens.

And anyway, um so here's this gal, and she's talking about the incinerators. In case you don't know what's going on, a girl on TikTok came on here and said that one of her neighbors received a government contract asking them to install a bunch of incinerators at Alligator Alcatraz. They're installing incinerators at Alligator Alcatraz. Alcatraz. Alligator.

Alcatraz is on indigenous land. It's like protected land. Two, there are migrants, there's people being washed ashore with shackles on. People are finding people on beaches wearing shackles. This is the level that we're at.

There is another girl on TikTok who is tracking flights, government flights, or like leaving migration detention centers, and they are just going out into the ocean. and then turning around. She's going out and turning around. The flights are not making it to their destinations. Two plus two does not equal four.

You understand what's going on right now. There's another guy on TikTok who said that he got pulled over by the cops. He's an American citizen. He just happened to have a Spanish last name. And they went and they looked through his information.

They were like, we can't find you in any system. He's like, huh? He had like several IDs because he lived in a couple of different states. He was like, well, I have this ID. I have that motorcycle ID.

I have this. And then the cops were like, oh, you can thank your friends that I says that.

So they're taking people, American citizens. He's white, by the way. He just had a Spanish last name. They're taking people who have American nationals who have Spanish last names, removing them from databases so that when they get pulled over by cops and people like that, they go, oh, you're not in the system. You're an illegal immigrant.

You're an illegal alien. They can detain them. Do you understand what's going on right now? Yes, we do understand what's going on. You're a lunatic, ma'am.

And they went in and did a study of all the able-bodied people on Medicaid right now. And these are people that could go out, you could get a job if you wanted to get a job, but they're not, right?

No, they're at home playing video games. And so it looks like And then it looks as though The Republicans are going to have to really craft a solid message, and it needs to be something like this.

So Medicaid was meant for Children in poor families and the disabled. And for poor senior citizens. And that's who that money and so we're going to have to m we're going to have to do and we will be doing that here on this show. And we're going to be calling out all the Medicaid fraudsters. And we're going to be naming and shaming those people because that is vitally important as we head towards the midterms.

The Republicans. They may not be aware of this, but President Trump just gave them a lot of momentum and gave them a winning formula for the midterm elections.
