More than 1 Million Illegals Self-Deported

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

Touch starts.

Well, some very Exciting news. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Great to have you with us today, wherever you might be listening. And folks, I've got to have a little bit of creativity today and You know, normally on this program, yours truly, the professionally trained Ankor And voice I'm the guy that provides you the entertainment, but I need your help today.

And the reason why is and again, some exciting news here in this part of the country. Florida has alligator alcatraz, and Indiana's got whatever they're doing up there. We, ladies and gentlemen, just got word that in West Tennessee, we are going to be housing Illegal aliens. That's right. ICE is going to be putting together a detention center in West Tennessee in the town of Mason, Mason, Tennessee.

And the locals, not too keen about it. But look, the reality is it's going to bring a lot of jobs, which is great because there's really not a reason to go to Mason, Tennessee. And you never know. They might even get a McDonald's or a Wendy's. But they're going to be hiring a lot of people to run this new illegal alien detention center along the lines.

Uh Alligator Alcatraz.

So here's where you come in handy. We got to give it a good nickname. We've got to give the new Tennessee Detention Center for the illegals a good nickname.

Now, someone's already mentioned Mason Jar, so you want to put the illegals in a get at Mason, Tennessee, Mason Jar, which is very clever. But I suspect many of you may be able to come up with some much better names, and so we will be taking those on air.

So give us a call. Write down our telephone number, 901-260-5926. That's 901-2606. 260-5926, and we're going to be taking your suggestions. You know, it's interesting.

A lot of people. in in that town were very very upset And one of the ladies was complaining that they were going after all the black and the brown people. And by the way, most of the people showing up at this council meeting, and the town is, let me explain to you how small the town is. They actually had to have the council meeting at the fire station. They didn't even have a public address system.

So they actually had to use a karaoke machine. For the city council meeting. And I was just waiting for somebody to inadvertently break out into Katy Perry karaoke during the middle of the meeting. But man, they had a lot of liberals. and several Lib Tards who were speaking at the meeting, and they were completely insane.

And it was it was a beautiful thing to watch. Oh my god, they're going after the black and the brown people No, they're going after the illegals, ma'am. And that's the whole point of it. Is to protect all the rest of us from these very dangerous illegals. By the way, word coming out, more than a million illegals have self-deported.

Under the Trump administration. That is tremendous news. We need to up those numbers. But we're heading in the right direction.

So, well done, Trump administration, for really encouraging the illegals to self-deport. And I suspect those numbers are going to get even better.

So, yeah, so we're looking forward to hearing your suggestions for the nickname: What are we going to call the ICE Detention Center in Tennessee? 901-260-5926 is our number. The Citizens of Washington, DC If you watch any of the major drive-by media outlets, They would have you believe that the citizens of Washington are enraged at President Trump right now. That President Trump has turned Washington, D.C., into some sort of a concentration camp. that he's running Washington, DC like a dictator.

But that's not the reality of it. And when you actually get down and talk to people in the streets of Washington, you understand these people are incredibly grateful for what Donald Trump is doing. Let's take a listen to Cut Two, please. Man, down the city is quiet as a church motion. I came all the way down Pennsylvania Avenue this morning.

So peaceful, yeah. I don't smell no weed, yeah. I don't see no homeless people. I mean, I came all the way through the southeast side, all the way down here. You can see now I'm at the White House down, man.

Square, yeah. It's a shame That it takes somebody to have to sit in your classroom in order for you to be in order, yeah? Because that's what it feeled like, yeah? You gotta be babysitter to do your job, yeah? Stuff been out of control for years.

You You gotta do better, yeah. You gotta do better, yeah. And mainly, young, you got the problems. It's us, man. It's always us giving everybody a bad name, young.

We'll see how long this last. How many murders was it last night? How many carjackings was it last night? Talk to me. Yeah, numbers are going down.

And unfortunately, the guy is right. It's the black community that's going to have to stand up and deal with this problem. I mean, President Trump is going to make DC safe. He's not going to tolerate lawlessness. Those days are over.

And the reality now is that the law-abiding black citizens of DC are finally going to be able to live in peace. And that's a big thing. Here's Anthony Coley. He's on MSDNC. And even some of these, it's really interesting to see these little bits of honesty coming from the media.

Cut number three. And I live in Washington. This is personal for me. Many people are frustrated with crime that we see, particularly committed by juveniles in the city of Washington. People are frustrated, Willie, that they, when they go to CBS to buy deodorant, that they have to get it from behind locked plexiglass, right?

But the response here, and you know, let me say this, right? These are not just random anecdotes. What we see in Washington post-polling, among others, is that roughly half of D.C. residents, mostly half of D.C. reps, view this as a serious problem or an extremely serious problem.

And he's not wrong. The ABC News anchor a few days ago saying the exact same thing: we're not going to play that audio again, but she said, look, I mean, her colleagues are getting carjacked, robbed, attacked.

So, I think even secretly, a lot of these liberals, the Georgetown Cocktail Club, they're very grateful for what Trump is doing. They may not say it publicly, but they're very grateful that the Democrats aren't in charge of the police department there in our nation's capital right now. All right, 901-260-5926. I knew that you guys were going to come through here. Let's go to Paul in Gainesville, Georgia.

So, Paul, I understand you've got a potential name for our Alligator Alcatraz. I do. I also have a funny one from Oklahoma. It was the Okey Pokey. Oh, yeah tha that yeah, that they gotta do that, the okey pokey.

And and how about the the the ten ten? Like Tennessee, like T E N N dash ten. P B N The Tin Pin I like it. The tin pin. I like that.

It's not like okey pokey, but I it's it's got possibilities, Paul. It's got possibilities.

Okay, bye-bye. Paul, thank you. All right, let's go to Bob in Lexington, Tennessee. Bob, what's your recommendation? A lot of people call us folks in Tennessee hicks, right?

Oh, that's true. Pittsville Hotel. The hit. I like that, the Hickville Hotel. Bob, are you guys close to Mason?

Is that anywhere in your neck of the woods? No, we're about halfway between Memphis and Nashville. I see.

Okay.

Well, you know, the people in this part of the state are really upset that they're going to try to house the illegals here. But if I'm a businessman, I say bring it on because you know that that's going to generate new jobs in the area. You betcha. All right. Bob, thank you for that suggestion.

So we have Ten Pin, the Hickville Hotel and of course, as Paul said, the Oklahoma version is going to be called the Oakie Pokey. That is pretty clever. All right, 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

It was great to have Ben Dieter back in the studio. And I'm telling you, the kid is crushing it as a press secretary up in Washington, D.C. He delivered a speech yesterday, and I'm telling you, the city of Memphis loves this guy, and he's just one of these rock-solid conservative Gen Zers, and he's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. It was great to have him back on the show yesterday as well. He made it back, he sent me a text message, got back to Washington last night, and he said, You're not going to believe this, but I'm at Union Station, and it's wall-to-wall law enforcement.

National Guard there, federal agents there. And he said he never felt safer in Washington. And if you've been to if you've been to Washington, D.C., you know. You know how bad it is there with the homeless and the drug addicts. And the, I mean, these folks look like zombies walking around.

It's uh Unbelievable.

So, anyway, a deeter can confirm that there are boots on the ground now. You know, the question that a lot of people have, though, and the New York Times did a piece here on. Violence, not just in Washington, but across America. In 2024, listen to these stats. In 2024, according to the New York Times, Washington had a violent crime rate of about 1,005 crimes.

Crimes per 100,000 residents. That's according to the FBI, which turns out to be far less. than cities with similar population sizes, like Memphis, which has a hundred thousand fewer people than Washington and has twice as much crime.

So they mention Memphis, Detroit, Denver, Seattle, and Louisville, Kentucky. As being more violent than our nation's capital.

So look, it is frustrating because Cash Batel, the FBI director, is the one who announced to America, hey, yeah, guys, Memphis is the deadliest city in America, but they haven't done anything about it yet. And so we really want the administration to live up to their promise. If If President Trump can clean up the streets of D.C., It is going to send a message to the rest of the nation, and also a message to all of these governors out there. to crack down and do your job. If you are running for governor or if you are a governor and you are not addressing the crime in those blue cities.

Only because it's run by Democrats, then you are failing in your job. And your oath of office. You got to suck it up. They're going to call you every name in the book, and it doesn't matter, but you got to stand up and you got to do exactly what Donald Trump is doing. This is the blueprint.

What's happening in Washington can clean up the streets of every major American city. It's really that simple. 901-260-5926. We've been asking you for names for the new Tennessee Detention Center for the illegals. We've already got 10 pin, Hickville Hotel.

Let's go to Cornelia, Georgia. Libby is on the line. Hi, Libby. How are you today? Hey, I'm well.

I love your show. And my suggestion would be Rocky Cock Deportation Center. Rocky Top Deportation. I like that. It's got a nice ring to it.

Yeah. Yeah, you could step it up and instead of saying center, you could say complex, rocky top deportation complex. You know, never. I mean There's some options there for you. You see, it's the flexibility, Libby.

That's what I like about this name. Right, Tom. I agree. I agree. Thank you so much.

I did love your show.

Well, thank you. Thank you. Libby, I sure do appreciate that. By the way, there's a big billboard. Uh, in the Memphis area, and it's uh promoting the Marine Corps.

They want you to join the Marine Corps, and we have the story up at ToddSterns.com. You gotta. You got to check this out. It's insane.

Somebody vandalized. The Marines Billboard, who would do that? Who would vandalize the Marine Corps billboard for crying out loud?

So the question is: on the billboard, you got the Marine there. And the question, what do Marines fight for? And then somebody defaced the billboard with the words and it's one of these pro illegals groups. They said, Marines fight for the chance to feed Mexicans to alligators.

Now I gotta tell you. Uh if you I If if you're a Marine, you think that's funny. And it is kind of clever.

So, anyway, the Marine Corps weighing in, and they're saying, well, this is all unfortunate. People, though, in Memphis are very upset because many of them literally believe that that's the actual billboard. They literally believe that Marines at Alligator Alcatraz are feeding the illegals to the alligators. There are people in Memphis, and one guy was freaking out because he said, This makes no sense because there are a lot of Marines with Mexican-American heritage. Sir, first of all, the Marines have no affiliation with Alligator Alcatraz.

So. No, I it's really unfortunate. Very unfortunate. But I'm telling you for the record, and we made some calls because we wanted to make sure we had our. We had our facts together, But for the record, Marines are not feeding the illegals to alligators in South Florida.

or anywhere else in America. But the rumor is that some of the gators do enjoy the occasional taco. Maybe with some salsa. Up. That's what we've heard.

901-260-5926, our number. That's 901-260-5926. There is an interesting story coming out of all of this from Washington. You know, a lot of people make fun of Judge Janine Pirot. This woman is incredibly intelligent.

She has a brilliant mind. She is a a great legal scholar, and she is an actual judge. And a lot of people love to mock her, but I'm telling you, Judge Janine is crushing it right now. Cut number five. You know, in my element here, the truth is that I just, you know, kind of on a whim, just said, let me see the number of homicides of teens last year in D.C.

and this year in D.C. You're looking at the 2024 kids who were shot and killed with firearms in 2024. There are 29 of them.

Okay, every one of them is an African-American minority community. This is the community that's being victimized by violent crime.

Now, in 2025, we've got 16, again under the age of 19, who have been shot and killed as a result of a firearm.

So what she's saying here, and this is a brilliant strategy, Judge Janine is pointing out, yeah, a majority of the crime is being committed by blacks. But a majority of the victims in Washington, D.C. are blacks. Who's going to be speaking out for them? And that's what Judge Janine is doing here.

God love you, Judge Janine. All right, hang tight. Got to take a quick break here, folks. Our number 901-260-5926. Folks calling in with even more great suggestions, nicknames, 901-260-5926.

I think I've got the name. I'm going to save it, though, because our listeners are being very creative today.

Let's go to the phones. Kenny and Hendersonville, North Carolina, WHKP is our great affiliate there. Hi, Kenny. What's going on? Nothing much, Todd.

Having a good day. Good, good, good. All right, you got a nickname for us. Uh jailhouse rock. Oh, and all the inmates.

All the inmates can wear white bell bottom jumpsuits. Ooh, I like that. And maybe a blue suede shoes or something. Yeah, that makes sense. When they say something to the guards, the guards can always tell them, thank you.

Thank you very much. Yeah. Kitty, come on now.

Okay.

Yeah. That's pretty darn funny. I like that, Kenny. That's a great idea. All right, Kenny, thanks for the.

Thanks for the suggestion, jailhouse rock. Let's go to Albert in Ocala, Florida. All right, Albert, what is your suggestion? Tennessee recipe.

Now when it said slowly Tennessee, rest in peace. Tennessee recipe.

Tennessee recipe.

You know, here's everything. Albert, let me tell you something. Have you ever had any of that Tennessee recipe? I have I have. I have.

A little Tennessee sip and whiskey. You know, I have to tell you, I'm a good teetotaling Baptist, but during the Obama years, that helped a lot of Baptists to get through those awful eight years. Yes, sir. It cures everything. We just call it medicine.

Give me a prescription, Doc. No, the shot can't cure. That's it. All right, Albert, that's a good one. I like that one.

All right, here's mine, Dylan. Are you ready for this? You got to let me know what you think. You know, I'm thinking to myself, what is indigenous to tendon? We got Dolly Parton, and I've got to come up with something.

I'm trying to figure out the Mexican of her boobs, but I don't think that would work. But I did think about this one. You ready for this one? I'm ready. Copperhead Corral.

Oh. I like that. You like that one? I like Todd, I have one too if you if you want to hear it. I'm all ears.

Since we're in Tennessee. Mine is Smoky Sanctuary Stop. I love that one. Smoky's sanctuary stop. Yeah, the alliteration there is really what I was going for.

It is, you got the SSS. Yeah. If you just had the SS, that would be Nazi, you know, and it's. That opens up a whole can of copper. We nearly avoided it, but I think we're safe.

The Smoky Sanctuary Stomp. Yeah, I like this. I think that could work. Thank you. All right.

Well done.

Well done.

All right, 901-260-5926. As we try to come up with a new nickname for the all-new detention center for illegals in. Mason, Tennessee.

So we'll be taking your suggestions a little bit later.

Well, there's some bad news. From New York City. And I gotta tell you, Dylan. If they would have just come to me, I could have helped them avoid this entire debacle. There's a guy by the name of Daniel Humm.

Ma. It's three M's.

So, hum.

So, Daniel Hum is, you know what, just for the sake of the conversation, I'm just going to call him with one M, Daniel Hum. Uh the problem is he's one of these celebrity chefs. And he thinks he knows everything, and you know, he's better than everybody else. And if you love a cheeseburger, well, you know, you're Satan, one of those guys.

So anyway, he opened up a highfalutin. Restaurant called 11 Madison Park. I know exactly where this restaurant is. And There they were only serving vegan food. You're not allowed to have any meat in this restaurant.

At all, it's all plant-based food and it's high-end stuff. I mean, it's not like. Crab grass, but it's like, you know, a much higher brand of grass. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, the dinner's there. Are you ready for this?

100% plant-based, and it's a full-tasting menu.

So when you go in there, you have a multiple course meal. It's like an eight-course meal. You know, you start with the soil as the appetizer, maybe an amuse bouche, and then you work your way up to a blade of grass. And then you've got, no, I'm not joking here. Dylan, the price per person.

If you wanted to take Mrs. Producer, to a lovely dinner, a plant-based dinner. Three hundred and sixty-five dollars per person. Wow. For some zeuja.

No thanks. That's not chocolate pudding. For dessert, by the way. That's just want to put that out there. And I don't even think you're allowed to bring your own ranch salad dressing.

I mean, that would at least make it tolerable. But if you're eating, I don't know, azalea bushes. For the main course. But I was checking, you know, the the menu and it's It's really bad. I mean, really bad.

They had stuff like. Squash. Collared greens with tofu An avocado with plant-based caviar. And caviar are eggs.

So, were they? I mean, what kind of eggs are we talking about here? Plant-based caviar is crazy. How do you do you just try to replicate? Do you just like roll it in your hand?

What do you do? I don't know. Just rolling a ball of grass in your hand.

So it's exclusively. I mean, look, the foodies, you know, at Top Chef and all these other things, they're like, oh, this is divine. I've never had Kumquats prepared like this before. Mm. How about those collards?

You know, unless the collards are cooked with, like, I don't know, fat back or, you know, bacon. It's not going to work for me. It's not going to work for me. So anyway, uh the bad news is this. After three years in existence, they're going to shut it down and they're going to reopen.

As an all-meat menu. This is terrible.

So they're bringing meat back. This is the headline of the New York Times. Eleven Madison Park, the elegant internationally acclaimed Manhattan restaurant whose climate-minded move to an all-vegan menu was hailed as both brilliant and baffling, is bringing back meat. Chef Daniel Hum said in an interview that he wanted to draw more diners to the restaurant. He said that he's doing this for two reasons: financial reasons and an act of hospitality.

In other words, nobody was eating there and they weren't forking over $400 for an eight-course menu that you could, I don't know, weed out of your garden in the backyard. Geez Allure. Mr. Hum, pardon me, chef Hum, said, quote, I feel very much believed, or I very much believed in the all-in approach, but I didn't realize that we would exclude people. Really?

You didn't think that? Yu th really? You think that a guy that's gonna chow down on a big, thick, juicy brisket beef cheeseburger is gonna set that aside and plop down four hundred bucks for, I dunno, deep fried arugula? I don't think so. He went on to say, I have some anxiety that people are going to say, oh, he's a hypocrite.

But I know that the best way to continue to champion plant-based cooking is to let everyone participate around the table. No problem with this. As a matter of fact, if you want to do plant-based cooking, great. Serve a cheeseburger, put some lettuce and tomato on it. Throw in a pickle.

Yum yum. The restaurant has had varying levels of financial success since introducing the vegan menu. But over the past year he's found it increasingly harder to sustain the level of creativity and labor required. Yeah, I guess people don't even want to serve it. Right?

It's like, good Lord. What's this blob here? It's like, you know, g gelatin tofu. In the shape of a turkey. Why are your giblets I can't go there.

My apologies. I had to self-edit. Booking for private events have been particularly sparse. I can't imagine why. I cannot imagine why.

Chef Hum said it's hard to get 30 people for a corporate center to come out to a plant-based restaurant. Really go figure. Never saw that coming. And just think about this, Dylan, because we do this at the Toddstarn Show. We normally have our events at a restaurant that serves copious amounts of Meat.

Like Ruth's Chris. Yes. That's where we did our Christmas thing for a couple of years. And it's great. Because it's meat.

Mm-hmm. And if you want something plant-based, order a salad. Exactly. Or just go outside. They have a little grass thing there, a little grassy area.

Get a handful. Apparently wine sales were down too. He said It's hard to find wine that goes with plants.

Now that surprises me, because you would think that would go up. Seems to me you would have to do that, right? Just to forget the fact that you're having to, you know, pay four hundred bucks for, you know, a rutabaga. Yeah. The revamp menu still offers seven to nine courses for three hundred sixty five dollars, and will be prepared largely without animal products.

Okay, this is not going to work. Diners will have a few opportunities to opt for meat or seafood instead of vegetables. That might mean an oyster. or a lobster. Or get this.

A dry aged duck lacquered with lavender honey that has long been singled out by critics as a stand out. This sounds so disgusting. I'm not sure w I want to eat anything that's been lacquered. You may have to get liquored up to eat the lacquer. I don't know.

Mr. Hum introduced the vegan menu in 2021 when he reopened the restaurant, which had closed for 15 months because of COVID. Maybe that's what happened. It like affected his brain. I don't know.

So, anyway, there you have it. Good luck to this guy, but I'm not sure that's going to do it. I mean, you got to put good food on the menu. Oh, this is funny. The meat-free menu was met with Mixed reviews Although the restaurant received the three stars that Michelin first awarded it in 2012, other critics were not so impressed.

Peter Wells, the New York Times restaurant critic, described vegetable dishes. That tasted harsh. or in one case like lemon pledge. Oh, that's not good. You can't.

You can't be serving food that tastes like furniture polish. That's not good. Wow. You know what? As for me and my house, we're going to be happy at Ruth's Chris, or there's a great steak joint called Folks Folly.

You know, Dieter went over there. Had dinner at Folkes Folly. Very jealous of deer there. He had a salad. Of course he had a salad.

Had to curse him. Yeah. Would not be back in that restaurant. No, not at all. All right.

Got to take a break here, folks. Are you surprised that the vegan restaurant isn't drawing customers in New York City? 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Starn Show.

Dylan, we have some more suggestions coming in on the socials. Welcome back to the Todd Search Radio Show. We're trying to come up with some new nicknames for the ICE detention facility they're going to be setting up here in Tennessee, not too far away from Memphis. And here we have the following suggestions: Dolly's Dungeon. And Volunteer Vault?

That's clever. Oh, I like this one. Big orange ordeal. Yeah. And here you go, the Dollywood hoos gow.

The Dollywood Hooscal. That's kind of got a good read, kind of like the Oakie Pokey.

Well, thank you for those. Let's go to Jim in Memphis, Tennessee. Jim, what's your suggestion? Good morning. This yeah, you've got some good ones there.

I was just thinking as I'm driving out to uh To a Germantown. You've been. Masonized. You're shut down and locked up. Ooh, Masonized.

You've been. All right, uh illegal senor, you've been masonized. Yes, sir. I like this. Jim, this is a fine suggestion.

Thank you. So not only are we giving them a nickname for the facility, but we're giving them like a catchphrase to use. Like Trump was like, you're fired. You've been masonized. You know, it'll take some time.

It'll catch on. It'll catch on. All right, 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-500. Two six zero five nine two six.

So There's a guy. And he apparently really loves Fish. Like, really loves fish. This is a story out of Wisconsin. And the guy is really upset because the fish restaurant, the all-you-can-eat fish restaurant.

Well, it turns out that's not necessarily the case. Take a listen. A customer got upset because an all-you-can-eat fish fry didn't live up to its name. It's false advertising. Bill Wisseth has a beef with the all-you-can-eat fish fry at Chuck's place in Theensville.

He was there Friday when the restaurant cut him off after he ate a dozen pieces. We asked for more fish, and they refused to give us any more fish. The restaurant says it was running out of fish and patience, arguing Bill has been a problem customer before. They sent him on his way with another eight pieces, but that still wasn't enough. He was so fired up, he called the police.

Why did you think he needed to call the police about it?

Well, because I think that people have to stand up for consumers. And he wasn't done. He came back two days later with a picket sign. Elizabeth Reming is a waitress there and says they've tried to work with Bill over the years, like letting him have a tab, he still hasn't paid off. What do you have to say about that?

Well, I've got a running account here. Bill isn't backing down, saying his fish fry fight isn't over. Um Yeah.

So this guy basically was Consuming 18 pieces. These are big pieces of fish, too, and they're fried. not including the hush puppies the guy was scarfing down. I don't know about this.

So the guy is 6'6 and he's over 350 pounds. I would say he probably needs to switch to grill. I'm just saying, that's a lot of fish. But again, if the restaurant is advertising itself as all you Can eat, well, maybe they need to reconsider their, I mean, Maybe they need to put a maximum on there, all you care to eat. Or all you all we think you should should eat.

Oh, there you go. It's an all. All we think you should eat restaurant. Yum, yum. Hey, let's go to Barry in Jefferson, Georgia.

Barry, I understand you've got a nickname. Yes, I do. I would call it the final destination. Yeah. I love this.

You know, Barry, I don't want to alar alarm you, but but there are people on our social media feeds that are in they're raging at us right now, calling us xenophobic. That's good. Yeah. As long as they're enraging, they're not doing anything else.

Well, that's a good point.

So we're letting them air out their aggression in a wholesome way. Barry, thank you for calling in. Let's go to William in Flat Rock, North Carolina. All right, William, what's your. What's your idea?

I got the name. uh um it's locky top. I'm sorry, did you say Locky Top? I did say lockout. I love that name, William.

That is brilliant. Locky Top. Yeah. And then the other part, the subparent, is uh Home of the Volunteers spelled T E S. A R F.

Oh, wow. That's very nice. A great play on words. William, this goes right to the top of the list. This even beats my good idea.

of Copperhead Corral. Thank you, William. Locky top. That's funny. All right, got to take a break here, ladies and gentlemen.

901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. Coming up, Liz Peake and Dalton Glasgow. Stick around, everybody. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-totin, Bible-clinging, deplorable American.

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

So, just a little while ago, the president announced that he is going to be hosting the Kennedy Center Awards. He's going to be doing this himself. He's going to be the MC. President Trump is. And of course, the Kennedy Center has been in really bad shape.

They've just let the thing fall apart. There was no money spent to update or to handle any sort of upgrades to the facility. It's really shameful. And of course, they were all about honoring woke artists. And so, anyway, the president announcing today that he.

He's going to be honoring the new Kennedy Center, 2025. Kennedy Center honorees are going to be George Strait. Oh, that's a good move. Sylvester Stallone. Singer Gloria Gaynor.

And The metal band kiss? Here's the President. What involved were you in the selection process of these honorees? I would say I was about uh 98% involved. No, they all went through me.

They came over, Rick and Sergio and everybody. They said, I turned down plenty. I went to woke. I turned around I had a couple of wokesters. Uh No, we we have great people.

This is very different than it used to be. Very different. These are great people, and uh, not they're not, I don't have any idea the Republican because I want people that. The Kennedy Center has everything. Look at the Academy Awards, it gets lousy ratings now.

It's all woke. All they do is talk about how much they hate Trump. But nobody likes that. They don't watch anymore. That used to have 45 million people watching.

And remember The Apprentice, first season. The Apprentice had 42 million people. The Academy Awards had 41 million people. We were the second show to the Super Bowl. But since then the Academy Awards have gone down to, I think they've gone down to Numbers that are like a regular show.

because it went woke. We're not doing it for that reason. We're doing it because we want the great talent. But these are great people.

So I was very I was just a very long answer, but I was very involved. Oh. He's a hands-on guy, and it ought to be a great show. I guarantee you, people are going to watch it. I got this reminds me, Dylan.

Uh years ago. When I was a little fella, Of course, all the kids were listening to Kiss, right? It was like a heavy metal band. People loved, people loved it, kind of like a glam rock band. It really wasn't a heavy metal, but a glam rock band.

And the moms and dads of America, and especially in the Baptist faith tradition, were horrified by this. I mean, horrified. You had, what was it, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, and then you had oh, geez, Peter Chris, who was the drummer. And I don't there's a fourth guy, and I cannot remember his name to save my life. But anyway, those were the original four members of the band.

And, you know, they wore the makeup. And of course, the name of the group was called KISS and the lightning bolts.

So the S's were really designed to look like lightning bolts.

So We were we were forbidden. Forbidden. from listening to their music. I mean, that was just like a h a hard rule in our family. My mom was horrified by kiss.

And Dylan, the reason why is she thought they were like demonic. She thought they were actual demons. Yeah, I had the same reaction from my parents because I grew up playing the game Rock Band. Oh, yeah. You kind of play along.

I couldn't play any of those songs. Because it was kiss and The perception, if you just look at them, you're like, All right, what's going on here?

So I'll never forget. I mean, we grew up in the Independent Baptist Church before switching over to Southern Baptist, and it was like. These people are demons. They are soldiers of Satan. And you can't listen to them.

You can't play the drums.

So, anyway, it was, we were always told. I mean, looking back, it sounds kind of silly. But we were originally told that the letters K I S. And again, in the religious world, it was like K period, I period, S period, S period, because they said it stood for something. And they said there were two different trains of thought.

Number one is that they were actually secret Nazis, like the SS. That was like the Nazis. And those weren't lightning bolts. That was meant to mimic the typography of the Nazis. Which was not true.

Um the other Is the it was really an acronym. It really wasn't a name. It wasn't KISS. It was a nickname. For Knights, it was either Knights in Satan's service.

Okay.

Or kids in Satan's service. Those were the I mean, and that was all coming out of the religious world. I mean, if you listen to, if you were caught listening to Kiss. You were going to hell, and your parents were probably going to try to send you there. That's how crazy it was.

So it turns out, and I'm always curious, you know, okay, so what is. What's the deal there? Because, you know, when you look at Gene Simmons now, you're like, you know, he doesn't. Doesn't seem like he's a Satan worshiper. I mean.

This is kind of a regular dive. Right? And Detroit Rock City, we got to play Detroit Rock City sometime during the show today. You know, we've got to do that.

So, anyway, it turns out that the drummer, when they were getting the band together, the drummer had previously been in a band called Lips. LIPS. And so, you know how it is. The guys are just sitting around and they're like, well, all right, let's lips, lips, eyebrows. No, that's not good.

Nose hairs? No, that's not good. Kiss. What about kiss? You know, you kiss with your lips.

Kiss. That's it. And the next thing you know, Satan. Like, whoa, where did that come from?

So that's the story of Kiss. Because you know what's going to happen. People are going to go on social media and they're like, oh my God, what's happened to Donald Trump? He's honoring devil worshipers. Who is the one who bit the head off the bat?

He just died. Ozzy Osborne. Ozzy Osborne. Thank you. Yes.

What was he? He bit the head off. Was it one thing or several things? Was it a bat? I know it was a bat.

I don't. He may have bitten the head off other things. I'm not aware. Oh, shit. Our friend Cheryl, who works for my company, says, Todd, I burned my son's albums.

Kiss A C D C. Only to find out somewhere belong to his friends. Oh, no. That's not good. We weren't even allowed to have the Time Life series, you know, the Book of Life.

Because it had graphic images. But mom is for education. Anyway, so there you have it.

Well done, Mr. President. I think this is. Look, I mean, it's a good band, and they play great music, and there are a lot of Kiss fans out there. And they did wonders for the makeup industry.

I mean, they really do. That's a lot of makeup. 901-260-5926. Was that just me? That may have just been my, but I think other Christian groups also felt like they were like, oh, well, they're, you know, devil worshipers.

901-260-5926. Hey, let's go to Lee and Bartlett, Tennessee. Lee, I understand that you've got a nickname. Yeah, I got two things to tell you. The nickname is Tennessee on Ice.

Ooh, I like that. And the other thing is, you know, ACD had people used to say that Antichrist demon child. No. No way, really? Was that benignant?

Was that what it meant? No, I feel like the kiss meeting adults would say that. I learned, you know, that was my era, you know. And so that's what I would what I always hear that we say student for. Antichrist demons.

Hey, mom, can I go listen to ACDC? No. Oh. You demon child? Yeah.

What was it? Lee, did you ever do this with your albums? I did this, and I never heard it, but I heard other people say they did. Did you play the Kiss albums backwards? I I tried to a bit once, you know, like just a sleep, but it it was you know, you know, on there, you know, it just made a strange noise, but it didn't Nothing I could, you know, nothing like words that I could see, you know.

But kiss was really my older sister's era, was the first thing I'm ever seeing her wall. And then after that, you know, I was I was uh the eighties, you know, so I remember, you know, the rest of the 80s hairbands, but Kiss was just a little bit, you know, I like them all. They were my town. Lee, I'll never forget. I got in trouble for this, but it was worth it.

My mom and dad were big, like, Lawrence Welk fans. Do you remember that back in the day? Yeah, my grand because my grandparents read it and they would watch that. Right.

So I told my parents because you know we weren't allowed to listen. And mom was, I'll never forget what it is.

Well, Todd, Todd James, that's what she called me. That's my middle name. Todd James, if you play. That kiss music backwards, you're going to hear a satanic message. And I'm like, so I told her one day, I said, Mom, you're not going to believe this.

If you play the new Lawrence Welcome music backwards, you're going to hear Satan. I got in trouble. Yeah, but yeah. I you know, parents are funny. What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do, Lee? But you turned out okay, right? Yeah, yeah, eventually I used to part too, you know, they would always tell me, You gotta cut that hair, you gotta cut the hair.

Well, I never did cut it until I got nineteen and went in the Navy, but But they would always rap me about my hair, you know, uncles and stuff. You ain't gonna get no job like that.

Well, you know, there's an old Southern gospel song: If your hair's too long, there's sin in your heart. That's the actual name of the song. Oh man. All right. Lee, appreciate the editorial there.

Thank you. 901-260-5926, our number. Let's go to WSIC, Patricia. Hi, Patricia. What's on your mind?

Oh, Patricia, it's Patty. Come on. Patty? They have you written. No, I'm blaming Cassie on this.

Okay, everybody, everybody's falling for the devil. Let me tell you something. I'm 65 tied. I've seen Kiss, I've seen Aziaz once.

So let me tell you something. It's all they were all Show me. Mm-hmm. Okay, that's never even drank. Do you know that?

Never even did a drug. Was it Gene Simmons? I believe he was actually, you know, he's Israeli-born, too. I didn't realize that. What?

He's Jewish. He he is totally Jewish. Oy V Boy Blade. Hey Nom.

Now with the thing with Ozzy Osborne, that was some he thought that was a plastic. He somebody threw it up. On stage. And what he built into it He had to get rushed to the hospital. Yeah, I can imagine.

Patty, let me ask you, though. I mean, you gotta, as a lady, you gotta admire their makeup skills. Oh, you can't. I'm telling you. I mean, actually.

I like Gene Simmons with the makeup on. Oh, you do? All right. Well, if you like your men with makeup, nothing wrong with that. I think he was a handsome man.

We don't judge. It's. Yeah. No, but I'm saying that a lot of people with these devil worshipers, you know, it's cut, it's like anything else, it's all showmanship, you know, it's it's It's all for show.

Well, of course it is, Patty. And it's really sad because, I mean, these guys were just, you know, these were just good musicians that liked to get up there and rock. And I think looking back on it now, you have to kind of laugh at a lot of it because I think a lot of the condemnation was so misplaced, you know, and so judgmental back in the day. And you look at the seventies. I mean, growing up, I mean, I've seen a lot.

I've seen the Ramones and CBGV in New York City. I've seen, I mean, I've seen a lot of people. I've seen the Pretenders. I've seen, I mean, I grew up, I've seen Pink Floyd, I've seen a lot of bands in my lifetime. And I'll tell you right now.

Yes. That's what they did. That's how they made their money. It's like any other showman, you know? It's like.

Yeah, Ringland Brothers and Bargainer and Valley, right? Yeah, it's a fair point. Yeah, and it's putting on a good show, putting on a good show. Yeah, Todd. I'm so glad it got Washington, D.C.

Go Trump. How about that? How about that? You know what? By the end of the day, we could have Kiss playing at the White House.

I mean, you never know. Oh. We got the UFC coming next year. That's right. July 4th, Patty.

America's 250. We've got a UFC fight on the grounds of the White House. How about that? It's great. It's great to be MAGA.

Yes, I'm telling you, Patty, we are having, if you're not having fun right now in America, You're a libtard. going through the can Your stuff, I'm laughing my rear end off, okay? Good for you, Patty. All right, you take care of yourself, Patricia.

Okay, boy. All right. Take care now. Got to take a break here, folks. 901-260-5926.

This is the Todd Stern Show. I'm on the miss. All right. Welcome back to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

So that's a little kiss for you. President Trump announcing that they're going to be honored at the Kennedy Center. You know, it's interesting. Patty from North Carolina was telling us that Gene Simmons, and I didn't realize this, but he was a teetotaler.

So he and he felt like early on that the reason why he was ostracized from the rock. Community is because he didn't do drugs. He's never done drugs, never did alcohol. And he did that to honor his mother. And Gene Simmons's mother was actually a Holocaust survivor.

So. Uh anyway, um good for good for him. He did say that he accidentally got a little high because someone gave him Marijuana brownies. Got to be careful. That's why I never, you know, I don't accept food from strangers.

You never know, you know.

Okay.

All right, so there you have it. 901-260-5926. Our telephone number, that's 901-260-5926. Coming up, we're going to be talking to Liz Peake. I wonder if Liz Peake is a Kiss fan.

Hey, Liz. Yeah. By the way, tonight we're going to have a fill-in host on the Todd Starn Show. I've been summoned to the cardiologist. Jeez, that's always very unpleasant.

We have lots of great news and content over there. By the way, the flooding out in Chattanooga, Tennessee, you guys got almost a half foot, a little over a half foot of rain. Major flash floods. Interstate 24 completely submerged. I've never seen anything like it.

Other, we have a lot of the video and information over on the website, ToddSterns.com. This story out of Virginia is mind-boggling. I know we have a lot of Virginia listeners, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Governor Glenn Young has now launched a full criminal investigation. into the Fairfax County uh school board.

You this is just unbelievable. The t the show the information coming from television station WJLA, that's the ABC affiliate in Washington. And here's what the the governor is alleging. He said reports allege that school officials may have arranged and paid for abortions for multiple minors without parental notification. The governor goes on to say that reports also indicate the school administration may have known this was happening and that school funding may have been used, which could include local, state and federal funds.

Let me break this down for you. The governor is telling us that there are allegations that young girls Going to high school, let's just say we'll we'll we'll assume it's high school and not middle school. But You're going to high school, you get pregnant, you keep it from your mom and dad, you tell a teacher. And then the teachers With the full approval or backing of the administration, would then go and use taxpayer money. to have that child aborted.

And mommy and daddy Never knew anything about it. Last week The school district told reporters they were launching an investigation into claims that school staff at Centerville High School had arranged abortions for students and did not tell their parents. According to the allegations, one of the two girls involved was 17 years old. Mom, Dad, I'm curious. What would what would you do if this was your child?

And more importantly, as taxpayers, what should be done to the people involved in this story? The Fairfax County Superintendent, Michelle Reed, sent a letter out. to the community about the claims. She said, I want to stress that at no time would the situation as described in these allegations be acceptable in Fairfax County public schools. In other words, it happened.

That's what she's acknowledging here. According to school policy, every effort shall be made to encourage and support students suspecting pregnancy to discuss their concerns with their parents or guardians. How about this? It's not the school's business at all, period. This is a parental issue.

Now, my question is: this: Who gets charged here? It seems to me. First and foremost, we've got to stop, suspend all federal funding. to this school district. That's got to happen immediately until we can get a handle on what's been going on here.

Because if you're telling me that teachers are taking. Students to have medical procedures without parental notification, every child in that school is in danger. Every single one of them. I can't even imagine what these parents must be going through when they found out. That their daughters had abortions and that their teachers helped facilitate those abortions, and that your tax dollars funded all of this.

This is insane.

So the governor says that this is the statement from Governor Glenn Youngkin. who's doing a great job there in in the Commonwealth. He says I'm Directing the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation to open a full criminal investigation into the matter immediately. Every administrator that knew about this and did nothing. Should be put on leave until the investigation is complete.

Every administrator who knew about it and did something. They should be put on leave. Any teacher that participated or knew about this, I don't even care if the teacher didn't even go with the student, but knew the student was going to go and said nothing. They all need to be pulled out of the school, every single one of them. And this is Insanity What is going on there in these schools In Virginia.

Just insanity. Northern Virginia's leading news service inside Nova. says the allegations were published in a report. this week and include handwritten statements from two former students. The students allege that in 2021, a school social worker scheduled the procedures, paid for them, and did not involve their families.

The report names the clinic. And several school staffers. If this is true, they should all be fired. Every single one of them. I'm telling you folks, this is why you need to consider home schooling.

This is nuts. Walter Kurt writing on his website the headline Bolted Doors and Broken Laws. And he writes, Mr. Kurt writes that the high school is staring down a potential criminal firestorm. And he has more detail.

He says the two female students, both minors, say the school arranged and bankrolled their abortions at the Fairfax Health Care Center. Let's stop right here. Fairfax Healthcare Center. They got to be shut down. They conducted abortions allegedly on two minors.

Without parental notification or permission, uh-uh, they gotta go, shut them down. Apparently, this is a direct violation of Virginia's parental notification law. One girl underwent the procedure at 17, the other, five months pregnant. and pleading to keep her baby bolted from the clinic, after the social worker allegedly told her she had no choice. Principal Chad Lehman, reading from mister Kurt's piece, Principal Chad Lehman, the girls insist, new and taxpayers footed the bill.

A handwritten statement from the first student, translated for clarity, lays out how Diaz scheduled the appointment, paid the clinic's fees, and swore her to secrecy. The girl, an 11th grade ESOL, is that English is a second language, says the abortion took place in November 2021. making the concealment a straight line violation of State law. Even if they were eighteen years old. Unacceptable.

The letter alone would be enough to raise the hair on the back of a patriotic taxpayer's neck, but there is more. A second minor, five months pregnant and wavering, was allegedly told by the same social worker she had no other choice but to get an abortion. And that's when the girl, terrified, bolted from the clinic. She later confided in her teacher. who allowed her name to be used on the record, and provided a recording of the family, confirming no one at the school had ever informed them of the intent to terminate their daughter's pregnancy.

Mr. Kurt said, I have reviewed the audio in full and verified its contents, and it is heartbreaking.

Sounds to me like Principal Chad Layman has a lot of explaining to do. Ladies and gentlemen. But this is Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. All right, 901-260-5926 is our telephone number.

This is the Todd Starnes Radio Show. We're honored to have you with us today.

Well, time now to check out the Todd Stern Show mailbag. A lot of people weighing in on the nicknames for the new immigration. Enforcement facility that's going to be located in Tennessee. Allison Wright again, Stearns. You know, it's always going to be bad when they start off w like that.

Starnes, so you're laughing at treating like at treating other human beings? This type of reaction is why we came uh can't come up with good solutions to real problems.

Well, actually, I would contend we are coming up with pretty good solutions where Coming up with clever nicknames, saving the taxpayers some money. What's wrong with that? I mean, come on. Really? Allison goes on, you're cheering about people being separated from their families and breaking up communities, support networks.

These aren't hardened criminals. No, but they're soft criminals, and criminals are criminals, ma'am. It's really that simple. Continuing on. Go blank yourself, you butterball.

That coming in from Yakima. You gotta, look, I'm gonna say, you know what? That's a pithy comment, and we appreciate getting right to the point. AJ says, my thoughts are that you and your listeners are headed down a very Dark path, and then goes on to Call us communist. And then socialist.

And then unionist. Wait, what? No, we're not a union shop here, sorry.

Well, we have time for one more, so we may as well go back to Yakima. Go blank yourself, you butterball. And that, ladies and gentlemen, some of the fan mail coming in just really in real time here on the Todd Starns. Radio show. We do our best to try to address our correspondence as quickly as possible.

So thank you all for. For weighing in. There is an interesting story out of Williamson County, Tennessee. That's one of the wealthy suburbs of Nashville. And there is a school down there.

This is a very wealthy, this is the wealthiest county in the entire state, one of the wealthiest counties in America. A lot of country music stars, Christian music stars live down in that area.

So the allegation is that a boy who thinks he's a girl was allowed in a girls-only class. Or sex education training. Take a listen. The lawsuit says the incident happened here at Legacy Middle School at the end of last year, involving seventh graders. Uh At Legacy Middle School during the last month of the year, a biological boy who identifies as a girl was allowed to participate in an all-girls sex education class, according to a new lawsuit.

I think that just crosses a boundary that's incorrect. The lawsuit says the family life program was a required two-day course held in May of last school year. On the first day, the biological boy who identifies as a girl was allowed in the all-girls class. The lawsuit says this made students, quote, uncomfortable with the presence of a boy while matters of the female reproductive system and reproductive health were being discussed. The complaint says at least 13 girls refused to participate in the class the second day.

I wouldn't feel comfortable if there's a boy in my class, even though he identifies as a girl. Former teacher Karen Rice's four daughters all went to Williamson County schools. I would not have them go to the class. I would keep them out of the class. That would be like having a boy go into a girl's bathroom.

I'm sorry. That's just not acceptable. We sat down with chaplain Darren Johnson with the Tennessee Equality Project. I've got a great deal of concern to make sure that we look out for that one student. Who is simply trying to go through their school day in the way that they thought was the healthiest and safest for them?

The attorney representing the plaintiffs is State Representative Gino Bolso. The lawsuit alleges the district and principal of Legacy Middle School. Violated state law by allowing the student in the class. Johnson says the complaint cites a law that Representative Bulso sponsored. This law is being used to target and single out the school system and this student for simply just trying to help the student get through their day.

Williamson County Schools told us they do not comment on pending litigation. All right, there you go. Homeschool your children, America. Dylan, I know that you like to scarf down some good food, good eating. Have you ever been to Jack Brown's beer and burger joint?

Oh, yes, I have. In Midtown. I went to one in Birmingham. I haven't gone to the new one yet.

Okay, so it's pretty good. Good eating, though? Oh, fantastic, yes.

So, you know, they had a.

So it's a chain. Yep. All right, so they had a a food eating competition there. And there's a guy from New Jersey, and he's one of these professional food eater people. What do they call them?

Competitive eaters. Mm-hmm. His name is Brett Healy. He is the all-new world champion for eating deep-fried Oreo cookies. Nice.

mister Healy, again from New Jersey, He broke the record also for the at the annual meatball eating competition at the bar dog tavern.

Soon after, he was signing a contract with the Major League Eating, which is like Major League Baseball for the the Burger Eating crowd. And one of his first competitions was the Moon Pie Eating Contest at Bass Bro Shops. You know, those are hard to eat, those are just hard to eat. Yeah, you gotta chew a a good bit.

So the guy um He's uh the the um he's a huge he's a huge eater. And this guy Like, broke the all-time record by I think eight or nine Oreo cookies that were deep fried. Here's the deal: you have to eat them all in an hour, and you can't go to the bathroom.

So, this guy loves Memphis. By the way, he's also trying the The Jack Brown burger eating competition, the record is 30 burgers. And by the way, he ate thirty-eight fried Oreos. 38 deep-fried Oreos. Man, I'm going to tell my cardiologist about that.

The thing with those guys, though, I feel like you you can't enjoy any of the food that you're trying to eat because You know, with a hot dog eating contest, you just dunk it in water and then try to swallow it.

So is that the same with Oreos, or can you actually. You know, enjoy those. Ah, that's a tough one. And especially burgers, I feel like you definitely have to find an easier way. I've never had a deep pride Oreo.

Oh, really? Yeah, that's like state fair food, right? Yeah, it is. Yeah. I mean, I like it.

I tried to eat somebody, I was on assignment, and I was in Iowa for the state fair. They tried to get me to try the deep-fried butter. But, you know, I got a heart condition, man. I can't. I can't be riskomath.

I drink a mountain dew and I can feel my heart valve doing a couple extra rotations. All right, hang tight, everybody. Got to take a quick break here: 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's common sense conservative commentary from Todd Starr.

Satzo! That's right. I love this American. Will Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Stearns Radio Show.

Great to have you guys with us for hour three of the big show. A very interesting development coming out of Washington, where President Trump says, if need be, he will declare a national emergency if Congress does not extend his ability, his control over the police department there in Washington, D.C. This is the headline, by the way, from Fox News. Trump warns he may bypass Congress with the national emergency to keep D.C. police control beyond 30 days.

Look, this is beyond me why Congress is doing this. By the way, the Senate coming back into session as a way to as a mechanism to stop President Trump from making any recess appointments, it makes absolutely no sense to me.

So, Congress can. And um Can dicker around, if you will. But at the end of the day, this is going to come back and bite all of us in the behind in the midterms.

So, I don't know what sort of political games are playing up on Capitol Hill, but if you look at the polling data out there, an overwhelming majority of the American people actually believe that Donald Trump is doing the right thing here by going after the criminal thugs. And honestly, you have a lot of cities across America at this point who would beg and plead with the president to send the National Guard and anybody else to help get the criminal element. Off the streets. And we went through the New York Times article where some of the most deadly cities, some of the most violent cities in America, are not even being considered by the administration for additional help or resources.

Well, I want to bring into the conversation our good friend. He is the chief executive officer of Stern's Media Group. He is also a city council member in Wichita, Kansas, Dalton Glasscock. Dalton, hope you're doing well today. Todd, good to be with you.

I was actually at a lake a couple of weeks ago and I heard your buffer music and I was like, where is it? I have these flashbacks.

So, where is this coming from? And then I remember it was you, and I was reminded of you during vacation. And so, we may have to switch up the song sometimes if I want to enjoy summer. Every now and again, I'll be in the Kroger and I'll hear American Ride on the Muzak, and I'll stop, and I'll just get triggered a little bit. It's a great song.

Great song. No, it it really is. You know, Donald Wichita, now you you are pretty blessed to to live in a great town, a great city. And I'm curious, have you guys been hit with the crime wave that so many other cities around around the nation have been facing? Wichita is doing well when it comes to crime.

Our murder rates are down. Our part one violent crimes are down. Our property crimes are down. Over the course of the past five years, but also the past year as well. In my district, for example, we're a city of 400,000 people.

I represent a sixth of the city. We've had zero murders in District 4 in Wichita this year. And so we're doing really well when it comes down to aggressive policing and also policing to the next generation, using technology to be able to help leverage and support our officers while they fight crime here in Wichita. I'm curious what you meant by aggressive policing.

So you guys literally, the city council gives the police department the resources they need to do their jobs. Our job is to make the laws, and their job is to enforce them, not interpret them. And so, when something, when a law is on the books, it is the job of the police department to enforce it. And that's what's not happening in a lot of cities across the country. They may have laws on the books, like you do in Washington, D.C., but you don't actually give law enforcement the ability to enforce laws.

And so I'm glad that we take an aggressive approach on policing because we are a nation of laws, and all laws have to be followed by all citizens and without prejudice. No, it's a fair point you make. And again, when you look at what's happening in our nation's capital, I mean, you've been to Washington quite a bit as a result of your job and your work on the council. It's embarrassing to see you know to see the condition of the nation's capital city. Over the past couple of years, I've had the opportunity to really travel the world when I was doing international relations with the National Young Republicans.

And I went to most major cities across all of Europe, from France to Berlin to London to Warsaw. And there is no city that has the homeless challenges that Washington, D.C. or Seattle and the United States have. And we have to get it under control. It's not acceptable.

It's not humane to let people live on the streets. They need to get people the resources, get them the help, especially when we have shelters to provide the space and food for these individuals. When we're offering mental health care and drug rehabilitation for these individuals, it is not acceptable, nor should it be acceptable, that we're letting people live on the streets in the richest country in the world.

Well, it's a great point. And there's a big difference here between wanting somebody who wants to live on the streets and then others who need to be hospitalized or wherever. They're out of their minds. And the problem is, and I appreciate the administration's position. Here, they're at least giving people the option.

You know, you can either go to a shelter or, you know, you're going to, there are going to be other consequences here. The one option that should not be on the table is to continue to live in subhuman conditions and allow that. Again, it's not fair, it's not humane for the individual living on the street, and it's not fair or humane to the taxpayer that are paying for these public facilities that people are defecating on, that they're vandalizing, that they're destroying, and that they're taking public amenities away from people. And so cities across the country have to get this under control. Yeah, Dalton Glascock with the Wichita City Council, also the CEO of Stern's Media Group.

Our good friend Ben Dieter was here in studio and flew back last night, and he said it was just remarkable the improvement that he's seen. He said there were just wall-to-wall law enforcement and National Guard troops there at Union Station. And, Dalton, I can't tell you how many times, you know, when I was at Fox News back in the day, I would take the train down from New York City to D.C., and you would literally have to step over people that were strung out on drugs, they were passed out on booze, the whole nine yards. And it's just unacceptable that the most exceptional nation of the world, that we've got to tolerate this, not only in Washington, D.C., but again, in cities across the country.

Well, here in Wichita, we've invested millions of dollars in a shelter of individuals. There's not one night this year that we were not overcapacity that we were not able to take individuals. And so, my solution is: we have a place, we have a bed, we have meals for you, and you have that option. Or you have the option to move out of the community, but you do not have the option to live on the streets. We cannot tolerate that as a society.

And I think citizens are waking up to this. When I talk to voters here in Wichita and I talk to my friends that live across the country, one of the number one issues is homelessness plaguing our community. And we have the resources and the help for these individuals. We can get them the help and the resources that they need. Dalton, are we talking about, again, institutionalizing people, putting them in the hospitals, because there was a big purge, right?

A lot of these people were actually needed to be in hospitals, and then those hospitals shut down and we put these folks back out on the streets. What do you suggest? I think you have to have wraparound services for individuals.

So our shelter in Wichita, we're building the services so they can get the help that they need while they're getting the shelter and the food that they need.

Now, we do also have a mental health crisis in our country, and we're failing at addressing that. as a whole, as a country. We are short mental health beds. Wichita and the state of Kansas is building the first mental health hospital over 100 years. Here in Wichita, the construction is going to last two years, and that'll be 100 beds, and we expect that to be full on day one.

And so our country has to step up and realize that we are facing a mental health crisis. We have to build the facilities and be able to help people where they are. Dalton, gosh, the last time we had you on, or maybe it was even beyond that, you were considering the idea of launching or pitching the idea of a local Department of Government efficiency there in Wichita. Did you guys get around to that? And if so, how are things working out?

Todd, it's perfect timing. I wonder if you've seen my Facebook post recently. But yes, we launched the Committee on Government Efficiency. It was a bipartisan committee. I was completely removed.

It was an independent process. But they brought recommendations that, as of yesterday, we already enacted one of the first recommendations that they offered.

So we had been in the works of trying to centralize our accounts payable and accounts receivable. But as of yesterday, the city council is moving forward with that. And that was one of the recommendations. A lot of these are efficiencies. Government should be more efficient because it isn't just the city's money.

It is taxpayer money that we're spending. It's our neighbors' money that we're spending. We should be good stewards of it. And so they've offered recommendations, and I plan over the next year implementing a majority of those recommendations to make sure that we have efficiencies here in Wichita. And hopefully, that model we can take into other cities across the country as well.

So take me through the process. How does that actually work? How was the committee formed? Who got picked and who did the picking? Yeah, this was a citizen, a citizen-led committee.

They picked among themselves. They realized that I just asked for me bipartisan, and so they found a group of diverse voices. And honestly, it's better than I could have expected in terms of how citizens came and gathered together. Often, we see citizens from the left coming together and figuring out ways to engage in public forum, public comment, and how do they elevate their voices. On the right, we don't do that as much.

And I think this is a good example of this isn't a right or left issue. These are common sense efficiencies.

Some of the recommendations they brought forward were: let's not do deals with people that are impending litigation with the city. I think that is common sense. Let's make sure that we don't award no-bid contracts for things over $50,000. That's something that we've been doing. I think it makes sense that we move forward with these processes.

So I don't feel that any of the recommendations they brought forward were polarizing. They're just common sense issues that I think citizens just imagine we should already be doing and that we aren't and we don't have codified in law. I think it's a brilliant idea.

Now, where can people go? Maybe there's somebody listening, they want to get information on how they can start this. Is there a website they can go to to get more info, reach out to you? Yeah, they can go to my website, daltonglasscock.com. I'll be happy to send you information.

I'll be happy to send you the report that these citizens provided. And I think a lot of these practices can be taken across municipalities. They're not unique to Wichita, but we're going to take the lead on it. We're going to make sure that we have one of the most efficiently ran cities in the country and that we're being good stewards of the taxpayer dollar. And you think that you could, I mean, this is not a matter of saving just a few dollars here.

I mean, we could be talking about thousands or maybe even a million or two dollars when it's all said and done. The recommendation that we brought forward yesterday, we're estimating we'll say $500,000 a year just in. Collating these services. And so, I mean, there are millions of dollars of savings that you can have by just doing government more efficiently. We don't have to cut services, we don't have to change the way that we're offering services to people.

We can just do government better. And that's what's something that I'm trying to lead here in Wichita. I love to hear that. All right, Dalton, we got to let you get back to it. Always good seeing you, my friend.

Take care. We will talk soon. See you, Todd. All right. Dalton Glascock, City Council, and they're in Wichita, Kansas.

What a brilliant idea. This citizen-led committee, their own localized version of Doge.

So the lesson here is it can be done in your hometown. It doesn't matter. It's not just Washington, D.C. And no matter how big or small your town or your city might be, there are ways to make government more efficient and shrink the size of government. And I love what they're doing in Wichita.

Of course, we have so many great listeners over at KQAM, the big talker there in Wichita. And I know they're pretty excited about what's happening as well. All right, we've got to take a quick break here, folks, pay some bills. Our telephone number: 901-260-5926. What do you think about Wichita launching their own version of Doge?

901-260-5926. We'll be right back. All right, welcome back, everybody. This is the Todd Sterns Radio Show. Let's go to the phones, 901-260-5926.

Gary in Daytona Beach, Florida. Hi, Gary. What's on your mind today? What's on my mind is early this morning I caught the interview of the governor of Maryland. They wanted his comments.

on what President Trump is doing in DC. and some other you know, get his his take on it. And Westmore is a pretty smart guy, and he served our country. But today, Lawrence Jones early in the morning made him look like a fool. And that's putting it lightly because at the end of the interview, You know, Lawrence Jones has kept telling him: you know, 98% of the people being affected by this are minorities.

The murder rate is is is incredibly the minority population. And he does a Kamala Cackle. And he doesn't believe it's a full-blown crisis. which stunned me. And he's the comments he made were incorrect.

I mean, He said, you know, President Trump is going to do this surge. The National Guard, this isn't the type of duty they should be doing, and they're not trained for this. And I couldn't believe he said such a stupid comment that, no, they're not strictly, they're not like law enforcement. Go serve a warrant or anything, or pick, but I mean, his comment to just offhanded. that uh that they didn't uh that this isn't their Isn't where they should be, and it won't.

And he still. doesn't believe that it's a crisis in DC. And no, I just I was blown away by the fact that, you know, and that he really did. I replayed it.

Well, let me jump in here. Let me hold on, hold on. Let me jump in here for a minute. It's true, the Governor Moore said that he would not authorize The usage of the Maryland National Guard. For anything President Trump wants, because he doesn't deem it to be mission-critical or mission-aligned.

Now The White House is responding as well as local law enforcement. And by the way, the Baltimore Police Department's been under a federal consent decree since 2017, so they've got. Problems of their own. But the the fraternal order of police there telling uh Fox Fox 45 News there in Baltimore that the governor's comments are politically motivated, aligned with his political party, which is the Democrat Party. And he said that blue states seem to be okay with the federal government taking control through consent decrees, which is a fair observation.

And a bit hypocritical on the governor's part. And finally, the White House. I don't want to read this statement and let you finish your thought there, Gary. The White House saying what's truly embarrassing and heartbreaking is how long Democrat leaders have allowed violent crime to surge out of control in cities without taking action. And it's heartbreaking that in Washington, D.C., innocent people are being robbed, assaulted and killed far too often.

What do you think about the White House response there? I was unaware that the city. I mean, I've been preaching, especially on your show. Uh even though I live in Florida, For people to watch out for their mayors and their city councils, whether you live in a town of 20,000 or 200,000. But I was unaware of the fact how much power that they could pass some of these things for these bills for.

Treatment for youth that they call them, that even if they commit. uh deadly crimes, they're serious crimes. They can basically until uh So Janine Pirro pointed out. that they passed this and it handcuffs authorities. And I was blown away because I was always under the anticipation that some of the gun laws that you would break, especially in DC, might fall under federal jurisdiction.

And she pointed out that they've done this and they've handcuffed the authorities. Gary, I appreciate you calling. We're coming up on a hard break here, but again, it is so imperative. That there are so many things we need to be paying attention to on the national level, the state level, and the local level here.

So, Democrats and the common denominator here are Democrat policies, and they have put every single one of us in harm's way. And thank God for President Trump for standing up and saying we're not going to live like this anymore. By the way, new numbers, polling numbers out for the Democrats, the lowest in Gallup's history. That tells me the American people are on the side of Donald J. Trump.

901-260-5926 is our number. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show. All right, good to have you back with us, ladies and gentlemen. Do you live in a neighborhood where you have one of these homeowners' associations?

These people. You know, I would never live in a community where you had a homeowners association. I've never heard of a good, positive experience coming out of the Homeowners Association. I mean, um and the reason why is that a lot of these people Are just craving power and they don't know what to do when they get the power. And so when they're elected president or vice president of the homeowners association, They many of them grow these tiny little moustaches.

And they comb their hair over to the side. And I mean, it's just like they're little Hitlers. It's insane.

And I just I don't know how you people live like that. And especially and especially all of you folks that are patriots and you want to fly the flag and the Homeowners Association says you can't fly the flag, that's against the rules.

So anyway, there's a guy in Arizona And he's a big fan of the blue. The police and the firefighters. And so he decided to honor the firefighters and the police by. Putting up blue light bulbs in his outdoor lights, you know, the little porch light.

So he had two of 'em, one's red, one's blue. They've been that way for five years. And now somebody's all upset about it. I believe the clinical term is butt hurts, cut number nine. Red for the fire department, a blue for the police.

Gene Sweeney wants everyone to know how important it is to support our police officers, firefighters, and military personnel. Those brave men, women, and soldiers and cops, it's incredible what they do. And I just can't stand when I don't see the respect. Another way Sweeney is honoring first responders is with these blue and red lights that he put up in front of his house five years ago when he moved into this Peoria neighborhood off 90th Avenue and Lake Pleasant Parkway. The Peoria dad insists he's never heard any complaints about the lights until a couple months ago when he received a violation notice from the West Wing Homeowners Association telling him the colored lights are not allowed and must be replaced.

I was shocked. A little bit hurt. That's an officer down the block who always gives me a nice wave and a salute. I appreciate it, Gene. I really feel passionate about it.

I don't want to get fined, but hopefully, they'll see the sanity in this. Can we move on to something more important? Sweeney tells us he keeps the lights on from 6 at night to 6 in the morning. The Peoria homeowner did appeal the HOA's decision and was sent this email that read in part: The Board of Directors has reviewed your request and has decided to deny the violation appeal for the prohibited colored exterior lights. Arizona's family reached out to the HOA's management company and were told they could not comment on the case at this time.

Same as any light, just different color to salute them. Sweeney understands that his community has rules that everyone must follow, but believes when it comes to supporting the people who protect us, common sense exceptions can be made. He's hoping his HOA will reconsider.

Now, if we do have a pink glowing light and a Vegas light, I'm against that. This isn't that.

So a reasonable accommodation is: respect the blue, respect the firemen, respect the military, and that's my salute. I don't think it's geachy or ugly. I think it's pretty proud, and I'm very proud of it. I don't see it as a major problem. Yeah, but the Homeowners Association does.

So you know, if you're going to move, if you're going to buy a house and you do have to live in one of these Homeowner Association neighborhoods, you got to do your homework and you got to make sure you're not moving into a bunch of light Nazis. By the way, may I just ask a question? I didn't know you could say colored lights. What's up with that? Don't they have to be like minority lights or non-white lights?

I I don't know. you know, you don't want you don't want him to go in there and accuse the HOA of being, you know, Racist, but yeah. Who am I to s who am I to judge? All right, this story out of Kentucky. I am not surprised by this.

The former Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Clerk, Melissa Moorman, has sued her old employees. For firing her after she reported on co-workers selling driver's licenses to illegals.

So this is a classic case of a whistleblower. in this community and A Kentucky Moorman discovered that two of her colleagues in the Department of Vehicle Regulation were selling documents to nonresidents without proper immigration screenings or testings. Her lawyers argued that she knew of the crime after being invited to participate. The employees quote This is a Mormon speaking W D R B News. The employees were being paid under the table.

I immediately let my supervisor know about it. She informed WDRB News that the coworkers would sell licenses for $200 per person. About four to five times a day for the For the past two years. Man, that's some pretty good money. Mormons said that.

Every case she encountered involved an illegal. After she reported the crime, the co-workers were fired and a federal investigation was launched. Moorman met with the feds in January. after learning the employees were using her credentials and logon information without her knowledge. She said she was instructed by her supervisor to provide the employees with the info as they waited for their own credentials when they first started.

KYTC fired Moorman the day of her interview, but according to her lawyers. They kept her supervisor despite mismanagement, fraud, abuse of authority, and violations of law and statute. in which he engaged that Moorman disclosed and reported. In other words, She got fired for being a whistleblower.

Now my question is. What about all those illegals who got driver's licenses? Do we know who those people are? Do we know how to track down those people? That is a disturbing situation.

And it does make you wonder how many and by the way, when you look at the numbers of illegals, I think more Americans have been killed by illegals driving cars than illegals shooting guns.

So be careful if you're driving around the great Commonwealth of Kentucky these days. Nine oh one two six zero five nine two six our telephone number. That's nine oh one two six zero five nine two six. Chucky Schumer. Is I think he's on his way out here, folks.

And it's not looking good for Chucky. It turns out that he apparently based his entire political strategy for his entire political career on a couple from Long Island who turned out not to be real. It it was all make-believe. Take a listen. But I actually want to talk less about Chuck Schumer himself and more about two of his favourite people, Joe and Eileen Bailey.

They're a couple that throughout Schumer's career he has talked about a lot. They're a middle-class couple in Massapequa, which is a suburb on Long Island. Joe and Eileen Bailey, this middle-class couple, they bought into Reagan Republicanism in 1982. Joe and Eileen. are worried about losing Their jobs or their friends' jobs.

The Baileys really don't believe in trickle-down. They don't believe in a whole lot of government spending, but they believe in tax breaks for kids to go to college. He's an insurance adjuster and lives in the New York suburbs. By New York standards, he makes $50,000 a year. If he lived in the middle of the country, he'd make $40,000.

Wife works in a medical office, she makes about $20,000, she might make $15,000 elsewhere. And you know, I have guided my political life through the Baileys. The Baileys have guided Chuck Schumer's political life, which is a little weird given. They don't exist. Seriously, he invented them.

Schumer first introduced the world to the Baileys in his 2007 book, Positively American, Winning Back the Middle Class Majority, One Family at a Time. In it, he mentions the Baileys an astonishing 265 times in 264 pages. But he'd apparently been talking about them for years before the book was published. One of his former spokespeople said he's always asking, what would the Baileys think? And to be fair, Schumer acknowledges that some may find this a little weird.

If you ask my staff, I've been talking about and talking to the Baileys for 15 years. I have conversations with them. One of my staffers once said I had imaginary friends to the press. got me in some trouble. But these people are real, and I respect them, and I really love them, and I care about them.

Okay, sure, but they're literally not real judges. But even if You can understand the potential utility of creating a prototypical voter in your head. This goes way beyond that because Schumer's given the Baileys an unnecessarily detailed backstory. For instance, he said, Joe takes off his cap and sings along with the national anthem before the occasional Islanders game.

Okay.

And when their daughter Megan, oh yeah, they've got kids by the way, told Eileen a friend was caught cheating on a quiz, Eileen was appalled because lying is not tolerated in the house ever. Also, Eileen apparently helps with the clothing drive at her church and her father had a prostate cancer scare a few years ago. Again, this is a made-up family. None of these people exist. But wait, I'm still not done.

Apparently Joe Bailey would never have a goatee. They watch Sex in the City and Desperate Housewives, though Joe pretends not to like either show. They think most baseball players probably take steroids, and if they were to ever go out to a Chinese restaurant, they would order kung pao chicken. That is a JRR Tolkien level of gratuitous backstory, and I don't say that lightly. But the Baileys do seem to have a lot of sway over Schumer's politics, as he's brought them up when discussing everything from the 2008 financial crisis to cybersecurity, which he framed as protecting the security the Baileys feel when they go online to buy birthday presents.

And to hear Schumer tell it, the Baileys' views can be complicated. The Baileys, Are not anti-immigration. They're not real. But they are anti-illegal immigration. They really dislike the Enron executives who stole money.

But they hate the people who burn the flag even more. They are pro-choice. They understand that A fundamental decision like that should be made by The individual. But they're glad their church isn't. Really?

Are you sure about that? What church did they go to? Is the church real? These peop this guy is a lunatic. Not real.

Just like Joe Biden, Joe Biden had the same problem. All right, we got to take a quick break here, folks. 901-260-5926. That's 901-260-5926. This is the Todd Stern Show.

Got a good report on Star Spangled Blessings. The book is doing really, really well, and I want to encourage you to get a copy of it. This is my latest book, co-written with my good friend Michelle Cox. Star Spangle Blessings, Devotions for Patriots, and I had a lot of fun writing this book. Telling a lot of stories that people didn't know about.

Stories about our presidents and their faith, stories about how God has used some very incredible. Regular Joes across America to do mighty things in this country.

So, I would love for you to get a copy and buy one for a friend, or better yet, get one for your church library. You can order a copy right now at Amazon or your favorite bookstore. Also, the book is available in Kindle and Audiobook.

So, if you have Audible, you'll be able to get a copy of the book there. And yours truly actually had the pleasure of recording my book.

So, be sure to check it out.

Well, this item just in. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. is on Joe Rogan. She is now claiming that she has seen evidence of interdimensional beings. This is a sitting member of Congress, ladies and gentlemen, and she says that she has seen evidence of interdimensional beings.

with credible people reporting movement outside of time and space. This is the quote. They call them interdimensional beings. I think they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have. Congresswoman Luna goes on to say, I can tell you, without getting into classified conversations, there have been incidents where very credible people have reported that there have been movements outside of time and space.

What does that mean here?

Now If if in fact there are these interdimensional beings as she described them, Seems to me that we're talking about something that has been outlined in holy scriptures. And we're talking about angels and demons. But somebody pointed this out, and I think it's a fair question. I don't mean this in a bad way, and I don't think the person I don't know if the person who wrote it meant it in a bad way, but someone said, is this really the best spokesperson that Congress can put out on this particular issue? If she was trying to be compelling with these descriptions, that's a big hell.

You can shield classified information and so articulate a case better than this.

Well, here's a thought. unless we're at the verge of Stargate. I want you to think about something here. If, in fact, there is evidence of interdimensional beings and it's being talked about openly by a sitting United States Congresswoman on Joe Rogan's podcast, don't you think that Congress would owe it to the American people to, oh, I don't know, have a hearing about this or hold a press conference and say, okay. Here's what's going on.

I somebody sent out Somebody was They were doing an interview, and some guy. And this was like a very real person. saying that they had personally seen the alien people. And he said they were very tall, and they looked like African Americans. And I'm thinking, okay, that was the NBA Finals.

What Wha what? What what?

So the guy was saying that the aliens are super tall and look like black people. And again, look, I have no proof. I've got nothing other than what people like Anna Paulina Luna are claiming here. But I'm not sure why people need to get all worked up. You know, Congress has been playing us for a long time on the whole UFO thing.

And, you know, I enjoy the conversations. I used to get freaked out by Art Bell. And the overnight hours, I, you know. Is there life out there? I I don't think so.

Quite frankly, I think after the good Lord finished making all of us on earth, he was like, geez, Lou, I don't want to do that again. Look how that turn look how it turned out. Adam and Eve and the snake and the apple Todd, it wasn't a snake. And how do you know it was an apple?

Okay, please spare me. I get it. Can we play some kiss music? No, just kidding, Dylan. Don't do that.

I'll get put on somebody's prayer list. But in all seriousness, why would the congresswoman come out and tell us all of this stuff? You know, without providing much more context.
