That's right. I love this American. Todd Stearns.
Well, certainly some exciting days over the weekend. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show. Good to have you with us today. Um you know I'm wondering I'm wondering if there are any people inside the deep state who Who are rethinking their decision to put Tulsi Gambard on the terrorist watch list?
because Tulsi Gabbard is loaded for bear And Tulsi Gabbard is ready to go after the individuals who were responsible for what we have for years, for really over the past decade, we've been calling a coup, an attempted coup against President Trump. And of course, all of this started during the campaign against Hillary Clinton, and it continued even after President Trump was elected.
So I want to have a conversation about that today. And I'm curious, first of all, to hear from you and what you believe should be the proper course of action here. Because there's a lot of people, a lot of people, who are really enraged. And I think every American ought to be furious about this. Every American ought to be marching in the streets over stuff like this.
But again, we can't because we have jobs and we have bills to pay. I understand. Yeah. But still, there needs to be a come to Jesus moment for this nation. Because what we have seen happen over the past decade cannot be allowed to ever happen again.
In American political life, we just can't go through this again. We simply cannot.
Now Based on the evidence that Tulsi Gabbard has collected, and I know you're going to hear a lot of people being riled up about this on Capitol Hill. You're going to have a call for hearings. We don't need any more hearings. We really don't. We've already been through the hearings.
We have all the evidence. Greg Jarrett wrote three terrific books about it.
So we've got Everything we need, ladies and gentlemen, is Everything we need. to go after the people responsible for all of this, the people responsible for the Russia collusion hoax. And the question is: do the Republicans have the fortitude to do it?
Now, this is really going to be interesting for a specific person, and that would be the Attorney General of these great United States, Pam Bondi, because she will have the determining factor. She will be the one that makes the decision, okay. Do we go after Barack Obama? Do we go after Hillary Clinton? Do we go after Susan Rice?
Do we go after John Brennan and Clapper and James Comey? and Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Do we go after all of these people? and hold them accountable.
Now, at the very least, I would sincerely recommend that somebody confiscate start confiscating passports because the first whiff of trouble and Obama is back to Kenya. But I am concerned that you are going to have people actually fleeing justice. Mm-hmm.
Now, there are going to be people out there who say, well, this is water under the bridge. We need to move on. And you will hear a lot of Republicans using that term. This is water under the bridge. It is time to move on as a nation.
The nation must heal. Do you agree with that assessment or do you want to see people arrested?
Now, our telephone number, I want you to write this down: 901-260-5926. Again, 901-260-5926. By the way, here is. Here's President Obama himself saying nobody is above the law. They believe that no one.
Especially the president. Is above the law.
Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, sir. Those. Mm. Those words may come back and bite you in the behind, but I appreciate you saying it.
So Tulsi Gabbard was on Fox over the weekend, the official state TV of the Trump administration. And here's what Gabbard was saying to Maria Barta-Romo. God five. There's no question in my mind that this intelligence community assessment that President Obama ordered be published, which contained a manufactured intelligence document. It's worse than even politicization of intelligence.
It was manufactured intelligence that sought to achieve President Obama and his team's objective, which was undermining President Trump's presidency and subverting the will of the American people.
So yes, next week we will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people, hidden from officials who would be in a position to. do something about it. And that's really the point here that I think is most important, Maria, and you said it in your opening. Accountability is essential for the future of our country, for the American people to have any sense of trust in the integrity of our democratic republic. Accountability, action, prosecution, indictments for those who are responsible for trying to seal our democracy is essential for us to make sure that this never happens to our country again.
So, and this is going to be hard for a lot of people to get their heads wrapped around here, but this really, this is not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It's really not at its core. This is about. the future of the United States of America. This is about who we are as a people.
And when you look at the wealth of evidence, and Gabbard says more is coming out this week. When you look at the wealth of evidence, it is very clear all of the breadcrumbs lead right back to Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
So, the question is: Are the Republicans going to have the courage to do what needs to be done?
So, here's. Here's my word of caution on all of this. And I hope that you hear me and where I'm coming from. Yeah. But the Republicans need to step back and they need to maybe get everybody into a meeting together, all the Republicans on Capitol Hill.
And they need to figure out what the plan is because, hear me. Hear me on this, ladies and gentlemen. They've been jerking us around on everything. We still don't know about J6. We still don't know about the pipe bombs that were left outside DNC RNC headquarters.
We still don't know anything about what happened with Epstein. We don't know what happened with JFK or MLK. We don't know what happened with Trump's assassin up on the rooftop in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Mm-hmm.
So, my question is: Will Paym Bondi actually take this seriously? Will Republicans on Capitol Hill take this seriously? Because you know how it goes. They're all going to want to flock to the TV cameras and demand we have hearings. We don't need any more hearings.
We've spent millions and millions of dollars on hearings, they've got the evidence.
So, my recommendation and my word of caution to the Republicans and the Trump administration. Don't jerk us around on this one. Do not jerk us around. If there really is evidence of wrongdoing, if everything that Tulsi Gabbard has alleged is true and is verifiable, then arrest every single person responsible, every single person from the lowest aid all the way to the Oval Office. Anybody who is involved must be held accountable.
And if that's hundreds of people, it's hundreds of people. If Barack Obama is going to fall on his sword, then it's Barack Obama.
Okay. But let me say this. If we get to the midterms and we've had nothing more than hearings and hot air. On cable television, Nobody's been arrested. People are saying, oh, well, when we finally get the last bit of evidence, if we hear that, Hear me on this.
the Republicans will face a massive disaster at the ballot box. Because the people they don't want to go down this road anymore. We're either gonna it's look it's either time to fish or cut bait. Here we are. This is the moment of choosing.
Now, I think President Trump, based on the memes he was sharing in the AI videos, Trump wants to see Barack Obama arrested. And I do too. Because all the evidence I see points directly to Obama and it always has. I remember Monica Crowley and I. Having this conversation many times over the years on this program.
Greg Jarrett, as well. But I'm telling you, ladies and gentlemen, the Republicans are going to have to find their backbone on this. And they're going to have to push forward. Because it either happened or it didn't happen. I mean, it's really, it's black and white.
It either happened or it didn't. And if it didn't happen, okay, great. We move on. But we've got, we are at the time of choosing. All right.
Um, we're going to take a quick break. We're going to open up the phone lines 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Mike Lindell and MyPillow employees want to thank my listeners for all your continued support.

Hey, real quick, before we go to the phone lines, I want you to listen. You guys are crushing it, so we still have another week for our big disaster relief fundraising effort. Our goal is to raise $20,000 over the weekend. I don't know what happened, but you guys just opened up your bank accounts and your wallets. Wow, we are just about $4,000 away from our goal of $20,000.
So thank you so much.
Well over $15,000 that our team here, our audience, our friends across the nation, you guys have really done an amazing job. We just need, and it would be great if we could announce by the end of today's show that we are over the $20,000 mark. That would be absolutely tremendous.
So again, every single dollar you give is going directly to disaster relief for our friends in the Texas Hill Country.
Now, you can do a couple of things. You can give a couple of ways. Number one, you can go directly to ToddSterns.com and look for the red disaster relief banner. It should be at the top of the page. If not, you can scroll down and you will see it.
Or you can also phone in your donation. A lot of people have wanted to phone in this year. And here's the number to call. I want you to write this down: 855-348-4675. That's 855-348-4673.
And you'll be able to make a donation. $50. $50 provides one family with an emergency relief kit. But many of you have been giving $500, $1,000. That has been such an incredible blessing.
And we'll be talking more about this a little bit later on in the program. But I wanted to give you an update and say thank you. And it would be a lot, it would be amazing if we could say by the end of today's show we have reached our goal. We are just under $4,000 away from that happening. All right, let's go right to our phone lines.
Let's start the day in Memphis, Tennessee. Johnny, listening to us on K-Wham. Johnny, I understand you're a little fired up, upset with me.
Now you're back on four. You're back here for a minute. Do you know the dangerous game that you are playing? But you know the the the old culture When when everything goes wrong. Blame the black man.
Uh let me ask you this uh uh Have you ever seen a picture? Of Barack Obama with Jeffrey F. F. Steve. Not to my no, I've seen him with a oh, that was Michelle Obama.
No, I saw him uh a photo with Michelle Obama, but I haven't seen any with Epstein. But what does that have to do hold on, so I understand you're upset that I'm blaming Barack Obama. For the Russia collusion. Is that right? No.
for the Jeffrey Epsom cobodle. That's what I'm saying.
So I you've lost me there, Johnny. We're not talking about Jeffrey Epstein right now. We're talking about Obama staging a coup to overthrow a duly elected president of these great United States. I know, but you have him of the Jeffrey Epstein. Obama.
You have blamed him on the bus. No, no, I haven't, Johnny. And we're going to stick with look, Johnny, I'm happy to have you come on the program and if you want to take me to task for something, but you have to stay on the topic at hand.
Now, are you telling me that the only reason I'm blaming Barack Obama is because he's black? Yeah, and VA too. They had the evidence on Trump. As real Yeah, real Okay, well let me just uh let me stop here, Johnny, because clearly you don't want to talk about the issue at hand. You want to go in a different direction, and we're not going to do that.
We you can call it an open line Friday, but Obama is technically half white and half black.
So my argument would be I was attacking the white side. There you go.
So much for that. Folks, let me explain how this works. If you're going to come in and if you want to come onto this program, I am happy to debate the issues, but you have to stay focused on what we're talking about. It really is that simple. All right, let's go to Don in Houston, Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920.
Hi, Don, what's going on?
Well, first off Your last caller was uh I must have been a Democrat because he doesn't stay on target. But anyway, besides the point. Uh I agree with you 100%. My first When I first heard about But Talcy Gabbard has I put out, I said, hey. I want them to get everybody, but I hate for them to degrade the.
office of the President of the United States. I changed my mind. Obama's already did that.
So uh Let's go after the whole crew, every one of them. If it's got to if we got to take down the President of the United States, ex President of the United States, let's do it because if he's guilty, He's guilty, and nobody is above the law. I don't care if you're the President of the United States or.
Some other high notable Don, I'm curious how you feel about this theory, because this is where I am at on this.
Somebody's going to jail over this. It's either going to be on the Republican side or the Democrat side. Either the Democrats are guilty of doing everything the Republicans accuse them of, or the Republicans are fabricating all of it. And either way, I'm sick of both parties. This has been going on for over a decade, Don, and there's no excuse for it.
And if we don't start seeing arrest very soon, I think the Republicans are in for a world of hurt in the midterms. I agree with you a hundred percent. And let me tell you this. My last letter that I got asking for a donation to the Republican Party. I wrote back and I said, pure and simple: if somebody doesn't go to jail, And you can forget me being a Republican.
I'll vote for somebody else. I'm with you I'm with you, Don, a thousand percent on that because I'm done. I'm done with playing with the emotions, asking for all the money. And look, I'm a card carrying member of the Republican Party. I'm You know, normally proud of that, but I'm telling you, if we botch this, somebody's got to pay for this and somebody has to answer.
It either happened or it didn't. And if it didn't, then shame on all the Republicans and those talking heads who came on TV and lied to our faces. But you know what, Don? I don't think they lied to our face. I truly believe that the evidence that Tulsi Gabbard has compiled clearly confirms and affirms everything that we've said on this radio program.
All right. Don, thank you for calling in. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Yeah, I'm an equal opportunity offender on this program.
Absolutely. Coming up, we've got your calls. We're going right back to your calls. Hunter Biden, crackhead Hunter, is at it again. And I am telling you, poor Dylan, he has been so busy trying to bleep out all of the F bombs this guy this guy talks like a crackhead.
Something is not right there. We're going to play some audio from Hunter Biden, who now wants to invade El Salvador if he's elected president. Also, Our good buddy.
Well, he's really not a good buddy. But uh, old James Carville. Says that he's got some problems with the Democrats, says they're constipated, leaderless, and confused. We'll tell you about that as well. Hang tight, everybody, and don't forget: head over and donate to help our friends in Texas.
All right. Welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Starns Radio Show. Phones are lighting up today. Let's go to Bob in Irving, Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920.
Hey, Bob, what's on your mind? It's about Pion Bondi. I don't think she's qualified to go against the big Deep State Group. I think she'll be a squish. like a squish Republican or just a She doesn't have the guts, courage, fortitude to take all the heat that's going to be coming.
Democrats will be throwing everything out there. They're going to be rioting and throwing rocks and getting volatant and making threats. They're already doing it. Um but I don't think she can take it. You need to get in there, somebody in there that's like a Ron DeSandis or somebody that's going to be a tough guy.
Pam, I would compare her to Jeff Sessions, just a mealy mouth, bubble mouth that recruits himself And I just kind of don't see her taking it all away.
So, what she did, she bungled the. Epstein case in Florida, then she bungled it again. And I just don't see her carrying it all the way through to a complete prosecution where we see Obama being locked up in prison and the rest of his minions. But that's all I had to say, and I'll take your comment off the air. Bob, well, thank you for calling in.
And Bob, I think you make a pretty compelling case here. about Pam Bondi, and I think you're right. I think she is a squish. And I'm sad to say that. That doesn't mean she's a horrible person.
It's just she's not the person qualified for this job. By the way, going back to Tulsi Gabbard, and here's what she said. Again, I want to read the quote: Over 100 documents released Friday detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. I believe we said that earlier.
This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our Democratic Republic. And she's absolutely right here.
Now, the left is already saying, well, she's a Russian agent. There's no proof of that. This woman's a Democrat turned independent who fought for our great country. Seems to me that Tulsi Gabbard is a patriot here, and I will agree with her on most of anything when it comes to politics. But Tulsey Gabbard clearly sees What's happened here?
And the question is: are we prepared, as a nation, to move forward with what needs to be done? Because based on what Tulsi Gabbard told us and the evidence she has compiled, And it's not just one or two scraps. Over a hundred documents show that Obama. tried to destroy Donald Trump.
Now, you keep in mind, I want you to think about this. Without Russia, Russia, Russia. Donald Trump has Has a landslide victory in his second run at the White House. That's where all of this should have gone. But they tried to destroy him as soon as he came down the golden escalator.
All right, let's go to. Charles in Statesville, North Carolina, WSIC. Hi, Charles. What's on your mind? Yeah.
Well, Todd, I agree with you wholeheartedly. These people have got to be held accountable. And starting this week, I want to see arrests made against Obama, Clapper, Brennan, Comey. And if I were President Trump, I would tell Pam Bondi that if arrests are not made and this thing is not prosecuted, she's fired. And I would not give her much time before she gets started.
Todd, what these people did is just really giving the middle finger to the American people. And our whole constitutional system. They just basically said: you know what, we don't care about the will of the American people. We're going to impose our agenda on the country, even if it means we have to manufacture evidence and lie. and destroy people's lives and undermine a duly elected president.
But, Doctor, when I think about the money that was spent, the lives that were ruined. you know, Michael Flynn, Carter Page. I mean, Donald Trump, I mean, just so many people. Paul Manafort, when I think about the lives that were ruined, I mean, how these people just. willingly and deliberately did this and just they don't care.
I mean, I don't know about you, but I want to see some blood. I want to see these people prosecuted. Arrested, prosecuted, and if they are convicted, I want to see them convicted of treason. Conspiracy and sedition, and I want to see him face a capital crime. I don't care if that means giving Barack Hussein Obama the death penalty in public.
Charles, I want you to hold on for just a moment. We have some breaking news to share with you. Breaking news now on the Todd Starn show. Yeah, the Department of Justice now confirming it has received Sulci Gabbard's criminal referral.
So Gabbard has done her job. She compiled all the evidence. She is now turning that evidence along with the criminal referral to Pam Bondi, the attorney general at the DOJ. The Gabbard released unclassified documents Friday that show overwhelming evidence that President Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would become a years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe after Trump beat Hillary Clinton. But keep in mind, this all started, Charles, during the campaign itself.
So you're looking at some very high-profile Democrats who could end up going to jail if the Justice Department proceeds down this path. And they should. I mean, they have all the evidence they need. And they just need to start making a rest, COD, in my opinion, tomorrow morning. I mean, Show up at their houses at 6 a.m.
Walk them outside in their underwear like they did. Uh, they tried to they like they raided uh Mar-a-Lago. and just publicly humiliate these people. and put them on trial for the entire nation to see. I mean, this makes Watergate look like a misdemeanor.
Uh I just Like I said, Todd, if these people are not brought to justice, we know what's going to happen again. And we're not going to last another two hundred and fifty years as a republic. Um it's just time to have a come to Jesus meeting and um Just, you know, have some spine and backbone. And to hell with what the media or anybody else is going to say, but we got to stand up with what's true and what's right. And Charles, that's why I'm calling this a time of choosing, right?
It is a time of choosing. We have to decide, all right, are we finally going to deal with the deep state? Or are we just going to turn a blind eye and play make believe? Because I'm tired of playing make believe, Charles. I'm just tired of it, and I'm tired of spending our hard earned tax dollars on all these hearings, these endless hearings, that get absolutely nothing done.
Yeah, me too, Todd. I mean, I don't want to, like you said, no more hearings. That's just a a delay tactic Uh, if the Republicans don't take this and run with this to prosecute this, you're exactly right. It's going to cost them the midterms. And rightfully so.
I mean, I'm not going to give candidates any more money if they don't take a position on this. and just go full steam ahead. I mean, it's not only, and I mean, the Republicans can run on this issue in 2026, just like they did, the Democrats ran against. Republicans in 1976 after Watergate with Nixon and all. I mean, except this is just so much worse, but this is outright treason, Todd.
And there needs to be some serious accountability. Under the penalty of law, treason is incredibly severe. You could face imprisonment for at least five years. A ten thousand dollar fine, this is just minimum here, and potentially the death penalty.
So, also the person convicted, and this is why they were going, they were trying to use this against Trump. They wanted Trump convicted of treason, which is why they were trying to convince everybody that he was some sort of a super secret Russian agent who was doing the golden showers, the whole nine yards. They accused Trump of being a traitor to his country, and it turns out that the only people, and what about the irony here, ladies and gentlemen? The irony is the only people that were not involved in the Russia collusion scandal were Russia and Donald Trump. It was all made up by the Democrat Party.
Unbelievable. Charles, great comments, as always. We got to run, my friend. Thank you for a. Thank you for calling in.
It's true, though. You know who I feel sorry for? And I again, I love this idea. We just have to throw it right back in their face. How many God fearing, innocent patriots were treated like traitors?
during the Biden administration. The guns drawn pre dawn raids, C and N hiding in the bushes. All of the Trump people that were targeted. What about the innocent moms and dads who went to their school board meetings or the pro-lifers?
So what about Melania Trump? What about Barron? They were all subjected to things that nobody should be subjected to.
So, yeah, I completely believe that if the evidence is there, and hear me on this, if the evidence is there and a criminal referral has been made, then I truly do believe That President Obama ought to be marched out of his house, James Comey, all of them. Susan Rice, all of them, Valerie Jarrett, shall be marched out of their homes in shackles. Throned in jail. And the only person I feel very, very bad for in all of this, and I'm just saying. Is that the poor FBI agent who's got to rummage through Michelle Obama's drawers?
Geez, hello, I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Let's go to the phones. Emery in Gainesville, Georgia. Emery, what's on your mind? God is Good to talk to you again.
Ditto your last caller. the three colours earlier. That's the guy that never pays attention to anything. I deal with him every day in the political world.
However, Ditto, ditto. We need to hold everybody accountable. We have too many Republicans, too many Democrats that have broke the law in the last Probably 50 years or more, and that's our problem. Everybody's tired of voting for these people. Tell you one thing.
They do another because they're in the elite club and they're fed with a gold spoon. We need to take this opportunity if As you said. They're guilty. They need to be put To the highest extent of the law, just like you and just like I. If we break the law, we should be held accountable.
Not the poorly lonely constituents who work every day and make a mistake and they're put in prison or they're fined so much money, while the elite, as your previous caller said, gives us the finger And I serve, I understand what it's like to be in the political world. But I wanted to compliment you on standing strong, and we need this to come forward to where voters come back.
next year and say we're proud and we are going to stand up and vote. En-Marie, do you think I mean, you have been very involved in politics, and I'm curious, when you're talking to folks, is this something behind closed doors? And I'm not talking about in public, because in public everybody's like, we got to arrest them. What is the reality of these people being held accountable? You know, it's sad.
Itch. Should be to where. It's 100%.
However, you, Todd, know as well as any of the political world, you have people that are good people that run for office, and their words will be. Let's just kind of overlook it. Let's straighten up from henceforward. We don't want to go back and we don't want to open this up and blemish certain people to where that's the sad part of both parties. We need to have the strong people stand up and say, We are going back to the people who ridiculed us nine years ago.
with Obama, all the things that was done under his administration, and then forward with Hillary Clinton always getting the golden spoon and to make a stand. If we have enough people that will prove that, All I say is come out. Take a record stand of where you stand on record, and then we will know the future. Unfortunately, I believe And I hope and pray I'm wrong.
So many of the politically correct. we'll go ahead and say let's excuse this and move forward. I hope not. I don't think I'm with you. I think there are definitely people thinking like that.
But, Emery, I just don't think we can do that here. I mean, this is the moment. We have to decide what kind of a country do we want to have here. What kind of people do we want to be? And honestly, and the Republicans, if they step back for a moment and just think about this.
The Republicans are putting themselves in a difficult position because now the voters are going to be asking, well, what's the point of electing Republicans because they're never going to do anything except spend our money, squander our money on all of these hearings, and nothing ever happens to the bad guys. You know, Todd, you and I. last June a year ago, was in Washington with faith and freedom. As we were there, it was a packed house of thousands. thousands.
of people that wanted to Get Trump elected. who all the comments were, let's take back America, let's do what's right and start electing Republicans who take a stand to believe like we believe. And that was a huge rally that got us here. We need to push that rally forward to make sure everybody's held accountable and prove to an American people: get out and vote. Let's change this country for the great country it is.
Yeah, it is a great country. And Emery, I got to run. I'm super late for a break, my friend. But thank you for listening to our great affiliate there in Gainesville, WDUN. All right, folks, 901-260-5926, our number.

So, if they do it, so the day they arrest Barack Hussein Obama, you're going to go and you're going to buy me supper. It doesn't even have to be Barack Obama. If some other Senior people are So elite people are held accountable. I'll buy you dinner on that. Danny, I'm booking a reservation at Dale's, which is a great Southern restaurant down in South Haven, Mississippi.
It's a good old meet and three.
Okay. Now, do I have to carry? Do I have to carry and have a plaque jacket on? No, you're going to be safe. That's pretty safe right across the state line.
They have good border security. In Mississippi. All right. I think you'll be. All right, then.
Well, listen, I owe you dinner if I actually do. All right, I got you down, Danny. Call screener, okay? All right, Danny. Thank you.
I bet he would buy me supper, too. Let's, real quick, let's try to squeeze in Walt from Texas, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hey, Walt, what you got for us?
Well, first of all, I'd like to say that the American people have not forgotten about Ohio catastrophe. Maui Lahaina catastrophe. North Carolina Katasha V and Eastern Tennessee. and the California catastrophe. Thank you very much for what you're doing for the Texas catastrophe.
Yes, sir. And uh I would like to see The Republicans actually do something Besides talk. If Obama is guilty. Take care of it. Walt, what a way to end this hour.
But you're right. If a crime has been committed, if the evidence is authentic, those people have to go to jail. If it was fabricated, those people got to go to jail.
Somebody's going to jail. It's either a donkey or an elephant. All right, hang tight, everybody. Hour two of the big show coming up next. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun totem, Bible-clanging, deplorable American.
That's right. I love this American. I know we have a lot of breaking news happening out there, and we're gonna do our very best to get to all of those stories. But I'm really excited about a guest we have coming up a little bit later on in the show. His name is Frank Roberts, and he is from Collierville, Tennessee.
That's to the east of Memphis, and a beautiful community. And Mr. Roberts and his family run a farm there. It's called Maranatha Farms. And the entire family, he and his wife and their kids, they are all living the Maha lifestyle, the Make America Healthy Again lifestyle.
And he's going to be joining us to explain how this hobby of his actually became a business and now a working farm. That's going to be a fun conversation. I want you to write down our telephone number, and we are going to be taking your calls this hour as well. A lot of folks wanting to weigh in on what's happening with the Tulsi Gabbard evidence, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926.
Well, my next guest on the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Is Declaring his bid for the U.S. Senate. He is taking on. Senator Lindsey Graham.
He is a businessman. He is also an avid marksman, and he's a deacon at his church that would be Burns View Baptist Church.
So he knows how to fight. That church in South Carolina. Here's what Mark Lynch had to say about Lindsey Graham and the Russia collusion hoax. Lindsey Graham kept his mouth shut while Republicans in the Senate pushed the Russian hoax against Donald Trump. He has spent decades pushing massive fraud, waste, and abuse with his pet project at USAID.
He has refused to fully fund the border wall when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. And he even joined Pelosi and Chuck E. Schumer in blaming Trump for the J-6 fiasco.
Well, let's bring into the conversation Mark Lynch from the Greenville area. Mark, hope you're doing well today. Welcome to the show. Yes, thank you for having me on. All right.
Well, look, the reality is a lot of people are just upset with Lindsey Graham. And I think one of the big problems is you don't know which Lindsey Graham you're going to get depending on which day of the week it is.
Well, if you keep up with a calendar and with some pressure, of a campaign beginning again. you you you know, he appears to be like a far right candidate. But that's only during campaign season. Mm-hmm.
Mark, I'm curious here.
So what is it that I mean, the guy's been in he's been in there for a generation at least. What is it going to take to unseat Lindsey Graham in the primary? Education and actual facts about his voting record. You know, he's has a lifetime voting record of fifty-seven percent. Constitutionally.
And when people hear this and see it, and when they read the article we put out with Breitbart about. the Obama campaign, talking to John Podesta that Lindsay would be the greatest ally to the Democrat Party. people's chins are on the floor that haven't heard this, when they hear his stance on Pro-Life, He lies about that. He's aborting murdering babies in the womb up to fifteen weeks. And he signed To vote for the passage of a bill in nine states that allows an abortion to happen up until the moment before delivery.
Um So We can go on and on and on. And he hasn't voted to close the border. but he's taking credit for that now that Trump's back in office. He's writing the coattails of Trump and taking credit for Trump's philosophies when they were never his. I'm curious, what would you let's just say you're in the U.S.
Senate, you beat Lindsey Graham, and whoever the Republican is is going to be the next senator there.
So whoever wins the primary is going to be the winner.
So what happens if it's a situation where the Justice Department is going to arrest Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton? Do you if that's where the evidence goes, are you comfortable saying you would support something like that? I'm going to help it. I'm going to bring it up if it if it starts to get watered down again and if that's another thing that gets swept under the rug. we're going to bring back the rule of law again in this country.
And I love the word treason. there are people that are going to probably face penalties for treason in this country if we enforce our laws.
Well, I think when you look at what happened during the Lincoln, in the aftermath of the Lincoln assassination, where we discovered there was a conspiracy against the government of the United States, the original intent was not just to stop with Lincoln, but others in the administration were targeted as well. I believe the Secretary of War at the time nearly stabbed to death.
So, again, when you look at the seriousness of the situation, you had a sitting President, you had a Democrat nominee for President who had been the Secretary of State conspiring to sabotage the campaign. And when that did not work, They literally tried to overthrow a duly elected president. That, to me, is a very dangerous thing, and this cannot go unanswered. That's correct. like Ivan Reichland has brought out his retribution list And I I love that guy, and he's endorsed me.
And we've got a lot of people to deal with that are causing this country to go down the tubes. They're enemies of the country. It's just very clear. Yeah. Mark, where can people go if they want to get more information about your campaign against Lindsey Graham?
Our website is Lynch4Sennate. Special. lynchforsenate.com. They can go to X on Twitter, and we have a link tree on my main landing page there that will connect them to our Facebook page. Our Twitter account all the social media that we're on.
and keep up with our account. All right. Well, Mark, we wish you nothing but the best. Good luck to you out there. Mark Lynch, everybody, running as a Republican.
He's going to challenge Lindsey Graham in the South Carolina GOP primary.
So Mark, good luck to you. Yeah, and can I add one more thing? Yeah, yeah, you sure can. Yeah, you know, it's time for Republicans. to be Republicans again.
We have a uniparty situation in this country. And part of the biggest problem we have is within our own party because we've got a lot of traders to the Republican oath. And I hope we can change that back.
Well said. All right, Mark Lynch, everybody, on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. All right, there you go. 901-260-5926 is our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
Man, I gotta share some good news here as we're talking about treason and Okay. arresting former presidents and secretary of states.
Something pretty spectacular happened over in California, Southern California, over the weekend. They had over forty five thousand people turn out at Angel Stadium, not for a baseball game, but for Greg Laurie's Harvest Crusade. It's just really unbelievable. Over 6,500 people came forward to give their life to Christ. There were so many people trying to get into the stadium, the poor fire marshal had to finally say, that's it.
We can't fit anybody else in here. And so 200,000 people actually watched the crusade on social media. I mean, it was just. Really remarkable.
So, anyway, here's Greg Laurie, cut number one. Hey, everybody, Greg Laurie here at the Harvest Crusade. We just gave the invitation for people to come to Christ, and as you can see, thousands of people are on this field. The fire marshal actually stopped people from coming forward. I respect that.
Fire marshal is just doing their job, but uh. They can only have so many people on this field, but there were people still backed up the aisles that wanted to come, so we had to put a QR code up, and we'll send the folks that weren't able to get on the field the same Bible that we're giving to the people here. But look, there's a spiritual hunger in our nation, and there's a spiritual hunger in California. And I haven't given up on California. And I believe that God wants to do another great work in this state that we call the golden state.
The last great spiritual awakening happened here in this state, California, and I pray it will happen again, but God has worked. And we know many others have made a commitment to follow Christ watching online or watching or listening in other outlets. And so we just say. To God be the glory. Yeah, wow.
Amen to that, Pastor Laurie. And so exciting to see so many young people, especially. And we've been telling you about. This and I'm not ready to call it a great awakening just yet, but we have seen a great revival happening around the nation, and many, many young people. The younger side of the Gen Z crowd that are going back to church and they're getting involved.
They're embracing the traditions that made this country great. You know, I wrote about this in Star Spangle Blessings: is that we have to return to the faith that our founding fathers had. And we're starting to see that. And the idea that on a Saturday, you're going to have 45,000 people show up at a baseball stadium to hear the gospel message, that is remarkable. Just remarkable.
All right, look, we've got to take a break, going right to the phones. I do want to say a brief word, though, because it's been about three weeks now since the catastrophic floods hit Texas. We have had a appraise report that over the 90 plus people that were missing have now been found. They were not missing. All right.
So there was a lot of fear that the death toll was going to explode again. That is simply not the case. I believe there are still three people that are missing, and we certainly pray for their families, but we're just so grateful that those other 90 some odd people were found and they're okay. But it's been three weeks, and over the past week, I just cannot thank you enough. Each of you, you have already stepped up to join our campaign to help our listeners and our readers in the Texas Hill Country.
And they're going to be struggling for a long time, right?
So, what we're doing here is helping them. And that's one of the reasons why we're partnering with our friends at Food for the Poor. They are on the ground in Texas and they're rushing these emergency relief kits throughout the region. Here is our good friend, Texas Governor Greg Abbott. And again, the governor says they're still trying to come to terms with the magnitude of the tragedy.
The numbers that I have of those. Who have lost their lives statewide in this flooding episode in the month of July is now 135. Those who have lost their lives in the Kerrville area because of the floods, it is now 116. We will continue the search for everybody in every single region that was affected by these devastating floods. And they are.
And I hope you also pray for all of those first responders and the volunteers out there because they need our support as well. A gift of just $50 rushes an emergency relief kit to a hurting family. $100, you're going to be able to help two families. You can do the math. You know how this goes.
But whatever you can donate will make a powerful impact for the men and women suffering there in central Texas. I want you to go to my website. You're going to see the Help Texas banner. If it's not at the top of the page, you can scroll down and you will see it. ToddSterns.com.
That's ToddSterns.com. We want to hit our goal today, and we're getting pretty darn close. $20,000. We're well over $15,000 right now. You can also call.
Many of you have wanted to call, and you can do that: 855-348-4673. That's 855-348-4673. Take a moment during the break, ToddSterns.com, and let's lend a helping hand. Oh yeah. All right, folks, tonight we have a jam-packed lineup.
We'll have all the breaking news coming out of Washington on the Todd Stern Show on Newsmax. That's 5 o'clock Eastern. You can watch us on the Newsmax YouTube channel. Also, Newsmax.com. Just watch the show on the right-hand side of the page there.

Jimmy in Newburn, North Carolina. Hi, Jimmy. What's on your mind? Oh, okay. Oh, quite a bit.
Maybe I can articulate what's on my mind Bond? I remember a while back on national news, Hillary Crinton, her voice, how she said it. She said, if Donald Trump wins the election, we will all hang. That's to me, that sounds like an omission of guilt.
So I'll be on here. Also, there's one more thing I wish to make a comparison with. Winston Churchill had had an interview with Adolf Hitler. And Adolf Hitler told uh Winston Churchill that the more outrageous the lies are, the quicker people will believe them.
So do you have I'm just wondering where you got that information? Because my understanding, Jimmy, is that that quote from Hillary had been circulating, but it's simply not true. There's no evidence that she actually said that.
Well, it was then her voice, and I recognized the voice.
Well, the original allegation was that Hillary had written that in an email to Donna Brazil.
So that's why I was asking, you know, if you've got, you know, if you have verifiable proof, happy to take a look at it.
So try to hunt that down, Jimmy, and give us a holler back once you do. And we want to make sure that we're providing you folks with verified information here on the program. Because there's a lot of, look, there's a lot of fake news going around, and it's easy to get caught up in all of this stuff. All right, let's go to Tom in Gainesville, Georgia. Hi, Tom.
What's on your mind? Good afternoon, Todd. You're doing a great job today on a very hot subject. Keep it quick. Hillary Clinton.
Was the architect of this whole thing, and it's easy to see that the whole Everything started with her, and she basically was the architect. And what most people don't realize, and I just had this listening to a Steve Bannon. Uh telecast the other day that John um It was um Oh shoot. The senator from Arizona that passed away. McCain, John McCain.
John McCain's staff was the one that livered that to the media.
So you got to connect some of those dots as well. It's look, this was a vast conspiracy, and it wasn't just the Democrats that were involved in this. And I mean, you're right. It was interesting. When you go back, there was a report that uh Hillary had personally approved The plan to share all of this with the media.
So, this was all coming, and this is what our former campaign manager testified in federal court.
So, yeah, Tom, you're right. There are tentacles everywhere, and John McCain, a part of all of that. Tom, thank you for that call. Folks, got to take a quick break. Also, I want to remind you to head over and check out ToddSterns.com and be sure to help our good friends in Texas.
We'll be right back. Just as was done to President Trump when they raided his home at Mar-a-Lago, because they thought that there was, and they planted evidence there in that case. But I do think that what the DOJ should be considering, if not getting ready to conduct, is a raid. of Barack Obama's home up there at Calarama. uh in Washington, DC, where he's been been since he left the since he you know physically left the White House.
He's been running the White House all during the Biden regime. And I do think that there's some other places that need to be rated where there are likely A lot of evidence, a lot of receipts, so to speak, and many of these people that are part of the Obama Uh, White House, as well as the Biden White House. I mean, I just heard the great David Shoan talking about. uh the former deputy attorney general Monaco, who also was the Homeland Security Advisor to Barack Obama.
So that's number one. That's, and that's, those are. Those are things that need to be considered right now. And I was ready to wake up this morning to hear about some of these raids that should have been going on. There should, as a minimum, be a task force assembled of federal law enforcement authorities, as well as an assigned dedicated Prosecutor at the DOJ level, at the Attorney General level.
someone who is working directly for her and for the President of the United States. This has got to happen very quickly. Yeah, it does. That, by the way, is the voice of General Michael Flynn. And he was one of the victims of this Russia collusion hoax.
Just terrible what's happened to that man. And he's looking for a measure of justice as well. And, you know, he's got a good point here. Just because you're conducting these raids, they don't mean that that doesn't mean that person's being arrested. But to secure evidence, to gather evidence, why haven't they already started the raids?
Those should have already been commenced as soon as Tulsi Gabber turned over all of her evidence. I want to go to the Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line, our good friend, a great Republican strategist here in the volunteer state. Also, are you the owner? What is your official title at TriStar Daily, Steve Gill? Bathroom cleaner and publisher.
I have two major duties, like you with K-Wham and your radio station in Memphis. You have to do it all.
Well, Steve Gill joining us and TriStarDaily.com is the website. That's TriStarDaily.com. Steve, a lot of developments here, but so far not a single raid, not a single arrest has been made in Washington. Your response to that? Yeah, and again, it follows, unfortunately, the consistent pattern of identifying.
You know, serious law breaking by, you know, whether it's judges, whether it's prosecutors, whether it's Obama senior officials at the FBI and in the intelligence community, provable. detailed information now released about the collusion, not by Trump and the Russians, but by the administration to literally, it appears, commit treason. And as you say, Nobody's been arrested. Nobody's been charged. Nobody's been.
Yeah. And we wait with uh with anxious breath. But we've been sold so many times before tonight, I'm not sure we're going to see. anything in this case. I will say I found it bizarre and and unexplainable that they released so many of these documents with Felsy Gabbard on Friday.
As you know, this is usually when you would do a document dump if you're in an administration trying to keep attention from being on the documents you're dumping. Why did they release these on a Friday in a way that That seems to be intended to hide them rather than make them the explosive beginning of this week.
Now, again, they're releasing new documents today. But why did they do a document dump on a Friday? This is traditionally how you hide stuff. Yeah, Steve, I don't get it. It's the mistakes, and these are rookie mistakes that are being made here, and they should not be making these.
We're talking about some pretty well-question. Qualified, seasoned people that are running the DOJ right now. And it's just, I don't know, I don't know what the heck is going on. And these are, to say that these are explosives, Todd, is understated. This makes Watergate look like a tea party on a Sunday afternoon.
This was at the very highest level. known intelligence that was corrupted and converted to spy on reporters, to spy on the Trump campaign team, to spy on the President of the United States with the intention Oh, um Of deceiving the public and bringing down an administration and perhaps a country. This cannot. be understated as how significant and important it is And it is amazing to me that you still have so many in the mainstream legacy. Media that are downplaying it, looking the other way or ignoring it completely rather than pursuing it with the vigor and the aggressiveness that it deserves.
Steve, do you think that Anybody's going to get arrested? Do you think we're going to see a raid on Obama's mansion or up at Chappaqua? You know, I hope so, and there certainly should be. I would just hope no FBI agent is designated to have to rumble through Michelle's underwear drawer like they did with Melania's at Mar-a-Laga. No FBI agent deserves that assignment.
They'd rather be assigned to the front lines of having to fight off the Antifa and illegal immigrant advocates who are shooting FBI agents and DHS agents in the face. That would be a better assignment than having to rumble through Michelle Obama's underwear drawer. Yeah, I mentioned that over the weekend on X on a now viral tweet. You know, Steve, again, I understand there is humor involved here, but the reality is at this point, somebody needs to go to jail. It's either Republicans for making all of this up and fabricating it, or it's the Democrats for actually doing what they're accused of doing.
But I just am personally, I'm tired of it. Mike Pompeo and Republicans like Mike Pence were privy to this information and covered it up.
So there, folks, it appears to me, Don, on both sides of the political aisle that need to be facing criminal prosecution, if not serious questioning under oath. About what did they know, when did they do it, and why didn't they do anything about it? Steve Gill on our Patriot Mobile Newsmaker line. Steve, a little bit of news coming from the world of fast food, there is a hugely popular. Burger chain, In-N-Out Burgers, based in California.
They've only had to close one store. That was in Oakland, California. And they did so because of the crime.
Now they're expanding and they've created a new headquarters for the eastern part of their operation in the Nashville area. And this is Lindsay Snyder. She's the president of In-N-Out. It's a family-owned business. And it turns out they're moving the entire family out of California.
Let's take a listen. Happened. We're building an office in Franklin.
So I'm actually moving out there. How do you feel about that? You're like a California girl through, right? Yeah. I mean.
I really Loved living in Northern California, and I'm so thankful that I grew up up there because I think it changed a lot of who I am today. You know, I think I would be different if I was raised in Southern California. But um Like you said, there's a lot of great things about California, but raising a family is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here. No, the bulk of our stores are still.
going to be here in California. But um It will be Wonderful having an office out there. growing out there. Totally. And being able to have the family and other people's families out there.
And so. In that, it's two-part. We'll have everybody under one roof here in Baldwin Park, and we'll close our fine. Are you surprised by this, Steven? Is that a good idea, having all these Californians moving into Tennessee?
It depends on the type of Californians. It seems like she's got the right attitude and understanding to be the kind that we would welcome here in Tennessee, in Middle Tennessee. I think it was interesting how hesitant she was, and I think wisely so, to say anything disparaging or too critical of California when so much of their business is still based there. I mean, she does not want to go new coke or Bud Light and say anything that's going to haunt their business and destroy it in California, where it's at this point still such a critical part for their economic success. But you could tell she was hesitant and she was walking that tightrope of Look.
The business environment here is horrible. The crime environment here in California is horrible. The attitude towards business, the taxes, they just raised gasoline taxes about 60 cents a gallon, while the Democrats and Gavin Newsome complain about the high price of gas, they just raised it about 60 cents on their people, again, giving us the highest gas prices in the country in California. She didn't want to detail all that because they still have stores there. But they're going to find that their business here, their family is going to enjoy it here.
And the fact that there is no state income tax in Tennessee is going to make it a lot more profitable for them personally and for their senior employees when they make that shift from California to Tennessee.
Well, not only that, you've got the minimum wage issue. What is it? $16.50 an hour. out there in California, seven twenty five an hour here in Tennessee. Yeah, and again, if if making the minimum wage higher is going to make everybody rich, then why shouldn't California make it fifty or seventy five dollars an hour?
Then everybody in California would be wealthy. Of course, fruit flies would cost you one hundred fifty dollars at lunch.
Well, there you go. All right, Steve, we're going to end it there. Where again can people go if they want to read all your stuff? Yeah, TriStar Daily, TriStarDaily.com. We have just launched it and encourage people to go there, follow.
We're also on X and Facebook and other social media. Go to TriStarDaily.com. I've got a new piece that just went up. Congressman Tim Burchett from East Tennessee went on to Martha Raddick and literally schooled her as he does so regularly. And it's worth a watch on the Epstein files and where Tim is coming down on the Epstein files along with others that are just now being released as well.
Mother news media looks the other way. All right, Steve Gill, everybody. And again, TriStarDaily.com is the website. Go check out Steve's great work. All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks.
901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Going right to the phone lines. We'll be right back. All right, coming up in the next hour, Chip Gaines is going after Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham.
It's insane. They don't know what to do. And it's a big challenge for Chip and Joanna. And I'll explain why coming up in the next hour. Also, got to play some audio here.
Hunter Biden doing a podcast interview. Man, this guy has a filthy mouth. Cut number two. For someone? Am I going to be like all these Democrats say, you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration.
You. How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you have food on your f ⁇ ? table? Who do you think washes your dishes?
Who do you think does your f ⁇ ing garden. Who do you think is here by the f Cheer. Just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance. And he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are the f criminals. Yeah.
Wow, that it It goes on, and it's so bad. There are so many F-bombs being dropped. But Hunter Biden also wants to give El Salvador an ultimatum: either return the illegals so that they're illegal again, or we're going to invade El Salvador. That's what he said he would do if he was president of the United States. I mean, he's talking when you see the video.
He does not look well. He does not look well. He looks like somebody who. who has a very serious drug addiction problem. A very serious.
And quite frankly, he talks like a crackhead. All right, let's go to Mike in Clear Lake City, Florida, or Texas rather, listening to us on Patriot Talk 920. Hey, Mike, what's going on? Hello, Sam. I've got the whole Republican reluctance situation solved for you.
Well, well, I'm all ears. I don't know what the job title would be: special prosecutor, special investigator, special counsel, but whatever the job title is. Give it to Matt Gates and say sick 'em. Oh, so you th so you want to bring Matt Gates back up to Washington? Give him the job, you don't have to be voted on and confirmed and all that garbage.
If anybody's got the courage to go after the swamp, it's him. What is it about Matt Gates that that tells you he's the guy? Thank you. Everything that I've ever seen on social media, YouTube, or Newsmax, clips of him, the way he conducts himself. In their you know, their investigations, in their meetings.
I mean, he he takes no prisoners and he don't back down. I've seen him time and time again put Democrats in their place with with facts and figures and information. And and it's like, you know.
Okay. He scored third. I mean, I I've I've seen him too many times, you know, on uh clips. That that you know you played on your show, things that he said. In the in the videos of the uh meetings and so forth investigations, the Newsmax is broadcast.
I just don't think he'd back down. All right. Good.
Well, Mike, we've got you down there, folks. Mike says Matt Gates needs to be brought in, and he needs to be the guy that. Handles the investigation. We'll keep you updated on that. Appreciate the call, Mike.
By the way, did you know the WNBA was playing the All-Star game over the weekend? Dylan, did you catch any of the. The the girls I caught the highlights, if you want to call them that. Did you know that it was happening? I actually know.
I didn't know. Yeah, I don't think anybody did. Anyway, they had an all-star game in Indianapolis. The players came out reading T-shirts. Or reading, they came out wearing t-shirts, and the t-shirts had a message.
Pay us what you owe us. That's what pay us what you owe us.
Well, it turns out that they're in the middle of negotiations and with the league. They want more money. Most of the players make about a six figure salary. They make about two hundred some odd thousand dollars, which is not a lot, but Here's what you need to understand: the WNBA has never been profitable. As in Ever.
They have always, always operated at a massive loss.
Now, this year, they're supposed to generate about $200 million, still not enough to pay the bills. The NBA, on the other hand, they generate about $10 billion.
So these girls believe they should have pay that's pretty much equal to what the guys are getting. Last season, they ended the entire season with a $40 million loss. And it turns out the NBA it would have been more than that, but the NBA subsidizes the WNBA with more than $15 million annually.
So, here's what you need to understand about this. When they say, pay us what you owe us. That means they're about to take a massive pay cut. Those girls are going to be working minimum wage jobs. And if it keeps getting worse, and just hear me on this, without the generosity of the men.
And the and the NBA, some of those gals would be working the counter down at Waffle House. I'm just. I'm just telling you. By the way, Colbert. That's why.
So there was a lot of reporting out over the weekend about what really went down with Stephen Colbert, and he was losing tens of millions of dollars. CBS, I mean, this was entirely a financial decision, not political at all. They were losing tens of millions of dollars on Colbert. I mean You can't make this stuff up.
So, anyway, there you go, WNBA. If anybody actually, I don't know, does anybody actually watch? The WNBA, anybody at all?
Okay. Unbo Anybody ever ever watched The Late Show on CBS? I mean, I guess if you're thinking about it, Stephen Colbert was the WNBA of late night TV. I mean, I guess you could, if you want to think of it like that. All right, hang tight, everybody.

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr. See ya. That's right. I love this American ride. All right, well, this story about Chip and Joanna Gaines just keeps getting weirder, and it seems as though the hole they're digging for themselves.
Just keeps getting deeper and I don't think they really care. I mean, Chip Gaines. By the way, welcome to the Tom Stearns Radio program. Happy to have you with us. Chip Gates has made it very clear that they really don't care what you people think.
And it turns out, according to a new article that has just been published, which goes, it's an insider's look at the scandal surrounding the pair. If you want to call it a scandal, they call it a scandal. But anyway, they're facing backlash. They've got this reality TV show that stars a same-sex couple and the children they purchased. And the Christian community has just really gotten upset about this.
You've got Franklin Graham out there condemning the Gaineses. You've got Allie Beth Stuckey, who is a very influential Christian podcaster. And anyway, it's a big mess. Yeah. Sources are telling the New York Post that Chip and Joanna have a tough position to negotiate, satisfying the demands of an increasingly, here we go, it's this word, diverse audience across the U.S.
and growing their network while staying true to their faith and fan base.
So. Reading between the lines here, the Gaineses basically were faced with the decision: do they stay true to their beliefs or do they? Do they abandon the Christians that got them to where they are in the first place? Billy or Franklin Graham rather wrote this about the situation: God's word is absolute truth. God loves us.
His design for marriage is between one man and one woman.
So then Chip Gaines responded to that. And Chip Gaines says of that quote The way of modern American Christian culture is judge first, understand later, never. Oh, no, sir. No, no, no, sir, Mr. Gaines.
We understand. It's all about the Almighty dollar for you, sir. Anyway, the remark was seen as a rebuke of conservative Christians. Who claimed the Fixer-Upper duo for their own. And it's true.
And it's sad. It's not the first time this has happened where you've got this celebrity and they're one of you guys and you want to support them because you want them to succeed. You want them to be able to represent the faith on a bigger platform. And really, the only person who has not let us down that I can think of right out of the gate is somebody like Tim Tebow. I mean, that guy's still pretty authentic.
A source close to Chip and Joanna, who cast married couple Jason Hanna and Joe Riggs and their twin sons, the ones they purchased, have long been inclusive people.
So this is it. We're now learning because that was the question. Were Chip and Joanna authentic from day one or did they change? And it turns out. They were like this all along.
They just hid it from the Christians. And again, I'm not saying right or wrong, I'm just explaining what's going on here. Quote, it's uncomfortable for a super traditional audience to come to terms with. Chip and Joanna don't live their life the way a traditional conservative evangelical population does, a source told the New York Post.
Okay, so how exactly and what exactly is a traditional conservative evangelical population? How do you people live your lives?
Well, okay, I understand. You don't purchase children. I get that.
Okay, that's good.
Well, that's a point. The source goes on to say, They've never been concerned with what people think in that capacity. They believe in what's right. They believe in what they believe in. If you are traditional-minded and you don't believe in that, then that's your prerogative.
Chip and Joanna go to the Antioch Community Church in Waco. Oh, this is great. A source says that the church A source close to the church says this leads evangelical Christians to feel the couple is theirs. It's the Bible Belt. You have a lot of conservatives, a lot of religious people.
They see it as Chip and Joanna selling out. Like some LA director told them to put this gay couple in, and they did it for the money.
However The source added that Antioch would have no problem with the casting. They're a pretty progressive church. They would not condemn them for having a gay couple on their show.
Well It goes on, and I want to I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Because apparently there is a problem in Fixer Upland. And it turns out that these new shows are churning out, and there are there's like Fixer Upper the Lake House, Fix Her Upper Welcome Home, Fix Her Upper The Hotel. This is all on Discovery, and they started their own network, and the network is not doing well at all. Another source telling the Post that everybody's afraid to mention their names.
Another source telling the post they haven't hit the same stride and created a blockbuster like with their first show. Quote, Their network has not been the explosive success Discovery hoped for. None of the shows has been a breakout. Over the years, people have noticed Chip and Joanna's lack of diversity in their original shows and criticized them for failing to feature LGBTQ plus couples. Joanna said, quote, and this was back in 2021: sometimes I'm like, can I just make a statement?
The accusations that get thrown at you like you're a racist or you don't like people in the gay community that's the stuff that really eats my lunch because it's so far from who we really are.
Well, I hear where they're coming from on this, but the reality is you're always going to get blowback. No. What I find fascinating about Chip Gaines is that he's out there telling people not to judge, but he is actually judging the people who are judging him. I think that's something about having some shiplap in one's eye.
So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. It's not going well for Chip and Joanna. And I suspect, and here's, by the way, here's what will happen. Christians will stop watching, and that's fine. They have a whole new audience.
I mean, they may want to do a whole gay pride fixer-upper. I mean, that's knocking themselves out. But here's the issue. Is there an audience that will sustain that? Is there viewership?
Because right now I think all the gay people watch Bravo T V. I don't mean to paint with a b broad brush, but you know. Gay-friendly shows.
So, I mean, there's a lot of competition there.
So at at what point At what point do the folks over at the Discovery Channel say, you know what, So the question then becomes: all right, what about all the things they own in Waco, which has become one of the top tourist destinations in the entire state of Texas? And I predict that it's going to start hurting their businesses there because you know why? And they're right in the article that Christians can just stop watching. They're under no obligation to support Chip and Joanna. They did so because they.
They thought they were one of us. And clearly, they don't want to be one of us. And that's okay. It's America, it's a free country. But they also don't have to go.
To The silos in Waco, they don't have to stay in that fancy hotel they just built. They don't have to eat at the diners or go to the bakeries or the coffee shops they own either.
Okay. So I'm going to pay, we'll pay attention to this. I think Chip and Joanna made a very bad mistake. And it's unfortunate. But you know what?
It's America, and they can do that. And I feel bad for all of you Christian folk out there that kind of got sucked into all of this. But this is a reality for some of those people. And it's one thing. I was reading somewhere that, oh, well, you know, they're gay friendly.
Okay, well, there's nothing wrong with being friendly to gay people. There's nothing wrong with being friendly to lesbians. The pansexual people kind of creep me out a little bit, but I just don't want anybody messing around with my Dutch oven. You know what I mean? Come on.
So there's nothing wrong with that, but when you use your platform. You you you work so hard and you build a platform. And then you change that platform, that's when it becomes a problem. I'm just telling you. You gotta um You got to dance with the ones who brung you, as the old country music song says.
All right, we've got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Look, as we go to break, Wanted to check in and see how we're doing on our fundraising efforts. We are.

All right, let's go to the phone lines here: 901-260-5926, Ron in North Carolina. Hi, Ron. What's on your mind today? I wanted to make a comment on the Guilford Early so. Evidence?
Um I think that they should prosecute the people to the fullest extent of the law. And now I'm going to give my peer biggest fear of the whole thing if they don't. I'm afraid some people are going to start Vigilante. Attacks. And if that starts.
I'm afraid of it there gonna be many innocent people that could get killed. Who do you think would be responsible for these vigilante attacks? Are you talking about supporters of Obama and the Democrats? No. I'm thinking talking about conservative people that spent their life in the military, possibly during Vietnam.
And I'm old and I'm old. I was in uh uh Bojangles having breakfast And we were discussing about how all these judges were letting everybody go. Uh at the film. And I said, my concern is somebody could start some vigilante act. against those judges.
And this person that was on at our table, he would put thumbs up.
Now this particular person He is a Vietnam veteran.
Now he's a front-standing marksman, but his wife shoots better than he does. And It could take anybody like that And I was in the military, military police, I was in corrections. And one thing I ho heard a prisoner say that was Those will be released in about six weeks. They asked him, what do you think you're going to be doing six months from now? And he said.
In jail. And they asked me, Well, don't you have a Hi. uh calling or something like that that you want to do? And his response was, three hots and a cock, What remote do I need? And for a senior citizen, it would be Three hots in a cot.
Free medical. And the chances are The death penalty will never get to them. They will die a natural death.
Well, Ron, I don't know about this because conservatives are mostly very peaceful people. I mean, when you look at all of the violence that's being committed and the attacks on ICE agents, for example, those are all being committed by people on the left. And I would be. I mean, if you were to ask me what would happen if they arrest Obama and Hillary, I think that you would have massive unrest, no doubt about it, but it would be coming from the left. And not necessarily conservative.
So I mean, I hear your concerns, but I just don't think we have a lot to worry about as far as vigilante justice coming from the right. Ron, I gotta run. Thank you for calling in, though. And I may be wrong. I don't think I am because conservative people are people that ascribe to the rule of law.
And that would just fly in the face of it all. By the way, a newly declassified DOJ report just came out. And according to this, according to the document. It alleges that Obama Ordered the FBI director, that would have been James Comey at the time, to cover up the Hillary Clinton email server scandal. Reading from someone just sent me the The unredacted, or the, I'm sorry, the redacted declassified report.
According to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
So far, the FBI does not have any hard evidence against Celery because data was removed. from the mail servers just in time. Obama is not in the mood to mar the very final segment of his presidency, his legacy with a scandal around a leading nominee for the Democratic Party. Unbelievable. All right, so a lot of chips falling today, folks.
All right, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. And They always And welcome back, everybody. It is great to have you with us.
And again, thank you, all of you that have been donating to our Texas Relief Fund. We're really excited about that. Coming up in August, by the way, we're going to be sort of busy. I'll be delivering the keynote address at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's gathering in Des Moines, Iowa. And then Knoxville, Tennessee.
We've got a huge event coming up. I'll be the keynote address at the Gun Owners of America Convention. And Dylan, I think we're dragging you over to Knoxville. Oh, boy. We'll make a stop at the Bucky's.
Oh, yeah, you have to. Did you see? Hold on. Did you see the video? A guy stopped at the Buckies for the very first time, and he's doing this, it's like going viral on TikTok, and he keeps calling it Boosies.
I'm at the I'm at the Boosies. What is a Boosie's? He's going to have to visit again. But we'll be sure to make a pit stop.
So, anyway, I hope to see all you folks over at the Gun Owners of Association meeting there in Knoxville. All right. I am excited to talk about our next guest and to talk with our next guest. He and his wife started a farm in the Memphis area out in Collierville. And the name of the farm, Maranatha Farms.
They have a terrific website, MaranathaFarmsMemphis.com. That's MaranathaFarmsMemphis.com. And the family is really embracing this Maha lifestyle. Frank Roberts joins us. Frank, good to have you with us.
Thanks for having me. It's great to be here. You know, I have to give credit where credit is due. Ben Dieter, who was the longtime morning show host on K-Wham, was all about healthy eating. And he would go and buy bone broth and all this kind of stuff from the farmer's market.
And so for some reason, Reason you guys started popping up in my social media feed, and I was just really impressed with what you guys are doing out there.
Well, thank you. It's been a special journey, not one that we ever expected. I can't, because you're not like, you know, dad was a farmer, grandpa was a farmer. Not at all.
So, you guys, you and your wife were living in Midtown Memphis. And tell us how you went from Midtown Memphis all the way to Collierville.
Well, we were. I started out, we had a garden. I had a garden growing up, loved growing up out of the country, at least it felt like it at the time. And so, just looking back on those times, and my granddad and grandmother would tell stories about what it was like growing up in the farm and milking the cow and getting ice block delivered and all that sort of thing.
So, I always kind of had this longing for that more rural lifestyle. And we had rabbits and chickens in some very small garden in Central Gardens, more chickens, probably than we were supposed to. But we always said we wanted to have pasture-raised children. And so, we started talking about that and finally realized that they were getting old enough, it was time to take action.
So, we put the house on the market, sold it within a couple of weeks, and found the house where we're now living at in Fisherville. Wow, now, how, and how long ago was this? That was in 2019. Wow, 2019.
So, you bought, and how many acres do you guys have out there?
So, we have 16 and a half acres out there, a little bit of woods, a lot of pasture. in a one-acre pond. Wow, this and and what's your background in? I mean, i it's it r was not you know raising cattle and things like that. Not at all.
I've got a bachelor's in civil engineering and I worked in retail for my parents at uh Palladio Garden as the manager there for a long time. And uh so YouTube And Joel Sallatin were my primary instructors. I read a couple of his books and a whole lot of YouTube. Wow. So you're hitting the YouTube and you're younger.
How old are you? I'm forty two. All right, forty two years old. And you and your wife decide, you know what, we're packing up the kids and we're going to start a farm. What was that experience like for you?
Man, we loved it and I loved it. It started off, it was my passion, my hobby, my thing, and my family loved me more than they loved the farming. But they they put up with it and they they came along for the ride. Over this last uh actually just over the last few months, we went to the a homestead festival outside of Nashville. and really had a an epiphany Overall, for our family.
And so, just over the last few months, it's really the family has embraced it in a deeper way. I love how you described it on your website because you realized. Man, these kids are growing up very fast, and we want to be able to, you know, be with our kids and spend quality family time together. Yeah, absolutely. And so doing those chores when it's hot, I mean, my son and I, my firstborn, we were out building fencing for a new pig set up all weekend.
And so those moments of having that together when you're hot, when you're sweating, when you don't really want to be there anymore, but you press through and you persevere, building character. Because you and I, I mean, I'm a Gen Zer, so our Gen Xer rather, not a Gen Zer. Dylan, stop laughing. I'm a Gen Xer, so we didn't have the cell phones. You know, we were just getting the really cool Atari video games, you know, with the single console sticks and all that stuff.
But we were outside, we were playing, we were creating things with our friends. You know, we weren't just stuck inside all the time. And, you know, I think we've got a generation of kids now where they don't go outside. You know, they're not hanging out in nature. You know, they're playing those video games.
They've got their smartphones. Has that been a challenge for you and your wife? We've made it a a pretty strong policy. None of our kids at home, at least my two older daughters, obviously, they're moved out and they have all of that. But.
Uh for the kids at home, no devices. We don't own any gaming consoles of any way. I tell the kids if it's above forty degrees and not raining, I expect you to be outside. Don't complain about being bored. Benjamin, my firstborn, is my farm manager, I call him.
He's thirteen. Hannah does all of our milking of our of our cows. Uh Judah is uh the chicken master. And Bethany takes care of the goats. And little Josiah doesn't have a job yet, but he sure loves the dogs.
I love this. We have Frank Roberts with us. The family farm is Maranatha Farms. You got to tell me about the name of the farm. Where did you come up with Maranatha?
Yeah, Maranatha is an ancient Aramaic word that means even so come. And there's a verse in scripture that expresses the longing desire for Jesus' eventual return. And it's that word, even so come, Lord Jesus.
So it's a continual reminder for us of what really matters and what we're looking forward to. I remember when I was in college, this was, again, back ancient history. Maranatha music used to be huge. That was like the jam back in the day.
So the other interesting component is that you guys approach this idea of food being. Medicine. Yeah. Tell us about it. I'm intrigued by this.
God made our bodies not to be against ourselves, that He made our bodies to heal ourselves. And obviously, the fall and sin entered into all of that, but we believe that God made our bodies and our food to be working for us for our good. And so if we give our bodies the resources that they need, That uh We will live longer, we'll live better, and we'll live happier. In the process. One of the things I appreciate about RFK Jr., I disagree with him on his politics about 99% of it.
But this issue about healthy eating, After just hearing him speak a couple of times, I caught myself at the market looking at the ingredients and going, holy cow, what is all of this stuff in our food? And you guys, I mean, the interesting thing about your farm, I understand, is that you guys sell a lot of products. Yes. Yeah. So we raise our primary focuses on grass-fed beef and pastured pork.
We do some other things. My daughter has a raw milk herd share that we do. I would love to see Tennessee change the laws on raw milk and raw products like that, but we're working with what we have for right now. I love this area of the country. We were doing a show a couple of, gosh, about a month or two ago, and I was in Hernando, Mississippi.
And one of the, I was talking, I was getting ready to record the audio version of the book, and I was dealing with a little bit of a throat issue. The next thing I know, some guy comes up and he's got a bee farm, and he said, Have this honey, you know, and just gave me a big old thing of honey. And I learned a very important lesson that if you're, you know, the best kind of honey is. Is honey that's locally local, raw, and unfiltered. Unbelievable.
Yep. And it worked like a charm. Yeah, it does. There's so many things. The more we have dived into it, to discovering all the different nuances and intricacies of nature and what God wants to use to heal our bodies, it has absolutely been mind-blowing.
I'm just curious, have you had a lot of folks that have been reaching out, asking, okay, how did you guys do this? Because we want to do this. Yeah, I talk to people all the time. I even do homestead consulting, helping people to kind of jump ahead of the line on wasting money or wasting time. But yeah, we have people ask us all the time, how'd you get in?
You must have grown up on a farm. No, not at all. None of that. And I love what Justin Rhodes says, La Hero, and I actually got to meet him at the Homestead Conference. He says, just start.
Find something, get started. You'll make mistakes along the way, but the best thing in the world you can do. After a little bit of preparation, it is to just start. Wow, we have Frank Roberts with us, and he is the owner. He and his wife have Maranatha Farms in Collierville, really, Fisherville, is that right?
Fisherville, the suburb of Collierville. All right, we'll do that. And can people go? I mean, if people want to go and purchase, what would they be able to purchase at the farm? Yeah, absolutely.
So, our primary products that we sell are grass-fed beef and pastured pork. Those are going to be the easiest things to interact with us on. I would encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We try to keep the website up to date as much as we can, but obviously, the social media is going to be the easiest thing to keep up to date on our farm sales. We have our second Saturdays, our easiest way for folks to get in and purchase products.
And so, explain second Saturday. Second Saturday of every month, we open the gates to the farm. You can come up without an appointment and shop the in-stock, ready-to-go beef and pork products. I took a cow and a pig to butcher this morning, in fact. All right, this is awesome.
And, folks, you may have some questions. Can you stick around for another second? Absolutely. All right. So, we got Frank Roberts with us, owner of Maranatha Farms.
Some of you may be wondering: all right, how do I go from living in the suburbs to getting a farm and starting a farm? Give us a call. Maybe you have some questions about food as medicine. 901-260-5926, our telephone number. That's 901-260-5926.
We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is. It's been a busy, busy day. Busy time here on the show.
Great to have you with us. And we're hanging out today with Frank Roberts from Maranatha Farms. And it's really living this healthy lifestyle, the Maha movement, and how it was originally a hobby, right? Yeah, absolutely. And it became.
A life. Yeah, it has turned into a profitable hobby. Took a couple of years for it to get into the black, but it really has. Gone from a little hobby thing that we did on the side of Midtown to a lifestyle for us. This is amazing.
So, when you mentioned earlier that you guys have people are reaching out, are we talking about people that are younger, maybe in their late 20s, early 30s, or older folks? I see a lot of people in their 20s who say, man, I would love to do that someday, not really in a position to right now, but folks that are kind of my contemporaries in the 30s and 40s are looking at it saying, We really want this. We want to get out of the congestion and the hubbub of an urban environment, even the suburban, and try to have a quieter. Life. It is interesting when you look at the culture at large, especially within Gen Zers.
They are becoming more traditional, even more so than their parents, maybe going back to their great-grandparents, going back to church and starting families very young, getting married, and really getting back and embracing the traditions that made the country great. Yeah, absolutely. Even, and I'm not. Super familiar with this, but you know, you hear the little stuff about traditional wiving and that sort of thing that it's fascinating to see the families and the emphasis on everything from going back to home church models and going back to the land and eating clean and eschewing a lot of the things that have kind of maybe some of the under ugly underbelly of culture now. What was it?
A couple of years ago, I joined the Duck Dynasty guys. We all went on a trip to Israel and it was insane. Two weeks over there. And I noticed something really crazy, like right out of the gate. You know, you get indigestion, right?
Everybody gets except there. And it was just the healthy eating, you know, the clean, the cleanliness of the food. And it was really amazing. And that really, that was the moment that I started thinking, wait a second, you know, what's going into the food that we're buying down at the local supermarket? And even just yesterday, my wife and I were talking about buying ancient grains and milling those instead of, I started.
Reading and learning about what happens with the flour berries that are used now to make flour, and completely adulterated, and it's a completely different experience. You can eat European bread all day long without a problem, and it's actually good for you. Whereas, what we've done largely in the agricultural system in the U.S. has ruined that experience. Frank, I got to ask you about tomatoes.
I am a passionate Tomato sandwich guy. Oh, yeah.
So, are you guys growing tomatoes down there at the farm? We do grow tomatoes. Our garden is mostly just for our family, just because we don't grow things in a large enough scale to be able to sell that. But my wife, Virginia, has been putting that back and been really experimenting with some tomato sauce and made some incredible pasta the other day. Wow.
So you guys are living good down on the farm. We try to. We eat like kings. See, I got to make it down. The problem is I've been getting up late on Saturdays, and I need to get down to the farmer's market so I can get my Mississippi red tomatoes.
Those are actually the best tomatoes I've found for a good tomato sandwich. And I can really appreciate a tomato sandwich. I had one on Saturday after working outside on that pig fencing. It's the way to go. I don't have pig fencing in Germantown.
But you can still have a tomato sandwich. I can still have a tomato sandwich. That's exactly right.
So my so I mean, what's long term vision here? What do you guys see for the farm? Man, I never saw myself here.
So I'm not so bold as to anticipate what it's going to look like long term. I know that some of my kids really enjoy it. And so if we can enable them in some way, like I said, we bought.
